In this episode, I sat down with the incredible Darla Ridilla, a certified somatic trauma-informed coach who has journeyed through some of life’s toughest challenges. Darla opened up about her difficult childhood, growing up in a dysfunctional home with an abusive father and an emotionally unavailable mother. Her early experiences shaped her adulthood, leading her into emotionally unavailable relationships. Despite these hardships, Darla found the strength to break free and began a powerful journey of healing and self-awareness. We delved into the intricacies of narcissism, its ties to childhood experiences, and how Darla recognized these patterns in her own life.

Darla’s story is a testament to resilience and transformation. From enduring toxic relationships to rebuilding her life with purpose, she shared invaluable insights on recognizing red flags, setting healthy boundaries, and cultivating self-love. Her advice to those struggling with abuse is simple yet profound: focus on small successes, be kind to yourself, and trust your instincts. Listening to Darla, it’s clear that the path to healing is possible, no matter how difficult the journey may seem. Her story is a powerful reminder to prioritize our well-being and to surround ourselves with positivity as we step into the life we truly deserve.
