Over NOT THE NARRATIVE with Abi

Not the Narrative is a first-person podcast about living beyond the story told about you. Hosted by Abi, the show explores high-conflict family court proceedings and the lived experience of remaining grounded through scrutiny — while raising a child, sustaining a business, holding faith in imperfect systems, dating again after disruption, and practicing emotional regulation under pressure. This is not legal advice or commentary, but a record of integration and composure while everything is in motion.

They Thought I Was Crazy

They called you dramatic. Emotional. Difficult. Crazy. But the truth is — you weren't crazy. You were being systematically destabilized by someone who needed to control you because they had no power over themselves. In this episode we are talking about the silent warfare of coercive control — the kind that leaves no bruises but strips away your dignity, your autonomy, and your sense of self. We break down why the most dangerous abusers are never the loud and obvious ones — and why the people closest to you couldn't see what was happening behind closed doors. We also talk about what moving on actually means. Not finding the next love. Not pretending it didn't happen. But reaching the place where they no longer hold a single piece of you. And we close with something major — the Supreme Court of Canada just passed a landmark ruling on May 15th, 2026 recognizing coercive control as a legal basis for survivors to sue for damages. Isolation. Manipulation. Financial abuse. Litigation abuse. All of it finally named in law. This episode is for every woman who has been made to feel like she was the problem. You were always the prize. And the proof is everything he did to keep you. 🎙️ Listen & Follow on Spotify: Not The Narrative with Abi📱 TikTok: @NotTheNarrativewithAbi📸 Instagram: @NotTheNarrativewithAbi▶️ YouTube: @NotTheNarrativewithAbi👥 Facebook: @NotTheNarrativewithAbi

aflevering Pain Made Me Pay Attention To Her artwork

Pain Made Me Pay Attention To Her

There’s a song by Dax called Pain Made Me Pay Attention. When I heard it, I didn’t just listen. I sat in it. Because it wasn’t just music — it felt like a mirror. In this episode I’m getting real with you. Not from the other side of the storm. From the middle of it. I talk about the old version of me that used to sit in meditation and visualize future Abi — strong, stable, unbothered. And how I’m her now… but the path to becoming her looked nothing like I imagined. I talk about choosing growth and peace and healing — and how the people around me responded not with celebration, but with aggression. With judgment. With attempts to pull me back into a version of myself that served them. I talk about a conversation with my therapist that gave me language for something I had been feeling but couldn’t name. I talk about a legal battle I’m still walking through. And I talk about the nights I cry quietly after holding it together all day. This episode is for every woman who has ever been broken and kept going anyway. Who prayed for a better version of herself and didn’t recognize her when she finally arrived. Who has been poked, judged, and kicked by people threatened by her healing. Your pain didn’t come to destroy you. It came to make you pay attention. 🎙️ Not The Narrative with Abi — new episodes every week on Spotify. 📍 Follow & Connect with Abi: 📸 Instagram — Daily reflections, behind the scenes & real talk: @notthenarrativewithAbi 🎵 TikTok — Short form truth, healing moments & episode clips: @notthenarrativewithAbi 🖤 Patreon — Join the Inner Circle for exclusive content, deeper conversations & unfiltered Abi: Inner Circle with Abi 💬 If this episode resonated with you — share it with someone who needs it.

aflevering When Obedience Opens Doors artwork

When Obedience Opens Doors

After a week and a half of silence, Abi returns with a powerful reflection on what it means to move through hardship with faith, obedience, and resilience. In this episode, she shares how one of her most challenging seasons led to unexpected breakthroughs—from financial relief to answered prayers—and how choosing to follow God’s calling shifted everything. This is a conversation about growth, emotional maturity, releasing expectations, and stepping into a new version of yourself with clarity and peace. If you’ve ever felt like everything was falling apart… this episode will remind you that it may actually be falling into place. ✨ Follow Not The Narrative with Abi for more episodes ✨ Connect with Abi on Instagram: @notthenarrativewithAbi ✨ Become a preferred member of Inner Circle with Abi on Patreon for deeper, exclusive content: https://patreon.com/InnerCirclewithAbi?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan&utm_content=copyLink

When You’re Tired of the Storm… But God Still Shows Up

I didn’t post last week… and there was a reason. I recorded an episode from a place of pain—but after a conversation, an apology, and therapy, something shifted. I needed time to process before sharing. If I’m being honest, this has been one of the most exhausting seasons of my life. Feeling like it’s just storm after storm… with no break in between. But even in the middle of that… God still showed up. In the most unexpected ways. In moments I almost missed. In people I didn’t expect. This episode is raw. It’s about being tired, overwhelmed, and still finding glimpses of peace and provision in the middle of it all. If you’ve been feeling like you’re just trying to hold it together… this is for you. I’ve also created a space to connect with you beyond the podcast—because this isn’t just about my story anymore, it’s about ours.

aflevering When Survival Meets Opportunity: Who Do You Become? artwork

When Survival Meets Opportunity: Who Do You Become?

Last Saturday… she had 12 hours to move her entire life. No plan. No time to process. Just survival. Packing. Calling. Coordinating. Finding a truck. Finding safety. Finding a way forward. Calm on the outside… but only because she had to be. And then—days later— An invitation. To a room filled with power, influence, and opportunity. Two completely different realities. Same woman. In this episode, I tell a story about a woman navigating coercive control, emotional abuse, and the quiet strength it takes to leave what’s breaking you. But this isn’t just about survival. It’s about what happens when: * You’re rebuilding in real time * You don’t feel ready * And life is already opening doors for your next level Because while everything felt like it was falling apart… There were signs of protection. Moments of provision. Evidence that something greater was already working ahead. And in the end, I ask one question: When survival meets opportunity… who do you become? If this episode resonated with you, you’re not alone. 📱 Instagram: @notthenarrativewithAbi #TheNarrativeWithAbi #FromSurvivalToStability #HealingInRealTime #CoerciveControlAwareness #DomesticViolenceAwareness #WomenRising #FaithAndHealing #LifeTransition #KnowYourWorth #GrowthSeason
