					<description><![CDATA[Hi Melanie, 

It&#039;s been a while since chiming in and listening to one of your talks. It is so wonderful and powerful to hear you continue to speak these amazing truths that soak through my soul. In this time that I have been &quot;quiet&quot; I have not been asleep. The truths that I first came in contact with through the NARP program so thoroughly washed through me that it&#039;s taken this long to make those truths mine and be to able to SEE that I am becoming the person, the soul who is my Source of Life and Love! Your words are so deeply powerful, more powerful than any of the lies or insults that the narcs in my life had thrown my way. THANK YOU for sharing your story so openly, so plainly, so deeply painfully as you have and do. My life continues to change, my soul renew, and my body continues to morph like a beautiful butterfly even as the sacredness of time works it&#039;s magic in and through me. 

I have been willing to GIVE UP EVERYTHING, in order to HAVE EVERYTHING. 
Love, 
Kathryn 
Cloud Woman]]></description>

Handing over all my power sounds scary to me. Right now in my life I&#039;m worried and anxious. I got the courage to leave him, but right now he won&#039;t leave me alone. There are texts and emails and phone calls and it makes me nervous. He&#039;s always trying to fix it by becoming obsessive. I&#039;ve been ignoring most of it unless it has something to do with this kids, but his go to is how I&#039;m messing up their life, and I&#039;m going to take all my problems into my next relationship so we can just fix what we have. He gaslights me, his criticism is all day everyday, he&#039;s never been abusive, but he seems mentally unstable for a while now. I tell him I need space and to leave me alone but he can&#039;t and it gives me so much anxiety, he says he expects us to be together again in 5 months. It took a lot of courage to tell him it was over and I&#039;m not doing that again so I will not be going back and I don&#039;t know when he will stop and I don&#039;t understand why I am so scared. I&#039;m a tough person, I&#039;ve been threw alot, I&#039;ve overcome many things in my life and this seems so different to me. I just know I need to teach my children what a relationship really is, not what they are seeing and that keeps me going, but he says it&#039;s showing them I&#039;m a quitter and take the easy way out.]]></description>

Hi Tessa,

I&#039;m so glad this has helped you get clarity.

That is such a good question. Imagine having all the information for gym workouts, and then you go to the gym yourself to get healthy and fit .. That is the analogy for NARP ... and if you wanted to do an intense Bootcamp for 10 weeks to get fast powerful, extreme results .. that is Thrive!

Absolutely by releasing the trauma within generating those fears, you will go free from them.

We work through this a lot in Thrive! www.melanietoniiaevans.com/thrive It is all part of recovery.

I hope that this helps.

Mel 🙏💞🦋]]></description>

Me, too! I just walked away from a 37-year marriage. It’s because of you, Melanie, that I finally understood what was happening. I am so grateful your story made its way to me. Thank you…]]></description>

40 yrs.... wow, we must be a similar age.  I can&#039;t imagine starting over again at this age with no children, no family. But I can&#039;t imagine living like this longer either.  I&#039;m trying to believe leaving will allow the space for the right people to come in.  But as long as I am &quot;fleeing from&quot; it, I&#039;m afraid I will  be vulnerable to it still, that I didn&#039;t finish the inner work to be immune to it.  I&#039;m trying to figure out if its good gut guidance or some programming that says I need to leave from a position of emotional strength, that I&#039;m &quot;off&quot; the emotional hooks and see him as pathetic vs fleeing with some fear.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Recently I had found that I am autistic and my relative is narcissist so there are a lot of difficulties in our relationship but that happened during our youth so we had not been in contact with each other for more than a decade ago.  She initiated it to end, often had many times, coming and going, sometimes ignoring me and other times being friendly.  What is sad about this is the betrayal that I heard from previous school colleagues that had experienced the bad treatment from her and it had been over 3 decades ago.  They only realised that it was not my fault that her behaviour was erratic  just because we were related.  If anyone knows us for real, we are both like chalk and cheese.  But she is doing much better than me career wise, while I am more closer with my family.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thank you Melanie. This all makes total sense. Im newish (joined late last year) to NARP. I am doing the healings and believe in them but not yet feeling recovered. What is the difference between THRIVE and NARP? Also you mentioned about all the fears that come with leaving the narcissist around how will one survive financially and carry out all the financial affairs without them. How can one recover from these financial fears? Thank you.]]></description>
