177. Could Ayahuasca Help You Heal From Narcissistic Trauma? What You Need To Know If You've Felt The Call
21/10/2026 | 36 mins.What if the missing piece in your healing toolkit has been growing in the Amazon rainforest for thousands of years?
If you’ve tried therapy, journaling, and every healing podcast known to womankind — and you’re still circling the same patterns, the same thoughts, the same ex — this episode is worth your full attention.
Today I pull back the curtain on a deeply intentional plant medicine retreat experience that works at a level most conventional approaches simply can’t reach, and why it might be the next powerful layer to help you get unstuck.
Here’s what this episode opens up for you:
How a week in sacred ceremony with Ayahuasca can cut through months (or years) of rumination, second guessing and self-doubt
What it looks like to feel the body-level knowing you’ve been searching for (whether you’re still in the narcissistic cycle or trying to make sense of the aftermath)
Why healing in community changes everything for your growth and your nervous system
If you’ve heared the call toward plant medicine, hit play — the retreat is happening February 27-March 6th, 2027 in Costa Rica and spots are limited.

How Nervous System Healing Gives You The Strength To Not Go Back To A Narcissist (And Heal The Deeper Patterns So You Don't Fall Into A Trauma Bond Ever Again)
19/10/2026 | 29 mins.Have you ever had the strength to walk away, only to find yourself back in their arms two weeks later wondering what the hell happened to you?
If you’ve been white-knuckling a breakup from a narcissistic relationship, you already know that knowing you should leave and staying gone are two wildly different things. The anxiety, the panic, the 2am scroll through their Instagram — it’s not a lack of willpower. It’s nervous system dysregulation, and it’s keeping you hostage in a loop you desperately want out of.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
Why your brain keeps dragging you back (nostalgia, panic, and all), and the one thing you actually need to move through it without texting them
How nervous system healing opens the door to understanding the deeper patterns and beliefs that keep pulling you toward someone who hurt you
What it looks like to finally look at your ex with the ick and stay there
Hit play now and get the missing piece that makes “staying gone” actually possible this time.

My Take On Why Taylor Swift’s Patient Zero Is Helping Women Heal From Narcissistic Abuse & How It Beautifully Broke Me Open
14/10/2026 | 22 mins.Have you ever heard a song and felt like it was written specifically about your life... and your ex?
Taylor Swift didn't just drop a bop with Patient Zero. She dropped a mirror, and if you've loved a narcissist, you already know exactly which song we're talking about.
In this episode, I gets personal. After five years of healing and holding space for women walking the same road, a Taylor Swift song cracked something open I wasn't expecting.
Here's what you'll feel from this episode:
Validation and confirmation that peels back a layer of shame you didn't even know you were still carrying
A reminder that you don't have to white-knuckle this alone — whether you left yesterday or five years ago, this episode is proof that we always need people in our corner
Hit play right now — because sometimes the reminder that you are not alone in this is exactly the thing that keeps you moving forward.

"Is It Me?" — How To Know For Certain That You Tried Everything Before You Walk Away From A Narcissistic Relationship For Good
07/10/2026 | 26 mins.What if the reason you can't walk away from this relationship isn't because you love them — but because you're not sure it's even them who's the problem?
The second guessing is keeping you stuck in a painful loop: knowing you shouldn't go back, but needing to know you truly tried everything before you close the door for good.
Here's what you'll take away from this episode:
Why learning communication skills and boundaries isn't enough, and what's actually getting in the way of you using them
How to finally get off the I-want-to-change-but-can’t cycle so you can show up differently in the relationship (and actually see how they respond)
The #1 thing you need to show up as your best self that will give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing you changed what was in your control
The answer to "is it me?" is closer than you think, and this episode might be the first time you've felt real relief from that question.

About Heartbreak to Wholeness: Untangling the Mindf*ck of Narcissistic Relationships & Trauma Bonds With A Narcissist
You have the career, the friendships, the life that looks good from the outside. But behind closed doors you're exhausted, second-guessing every decision, and you can't stop ruminating over the narcissist who is holding your mind captive.
Maybe you're still in it — doing more research, trying harder, convincing yourself that if you just figure out the right thing to say or do, something will finally change.
Maybe you're out but can't seem to move on — replaying conversations at 3am, wondering if any of it was real, asking yourself why you still miss someone who hurt you this much.
Either way, you already know something is wrong. You've listened to the podcasts, read the books, and you can name every pattern of narcissistic abuse and trauma bonds in your sleep.
And you're still stuck. That's not a failure of willpower or self-awareness.
That's the gap between knowing and actually healing.
Heartbreak to Wholeness is for the woman who is done living like a hostage in her own life. Done being defined by the relationship she can't seem to leave behind, done waiting for closure that may never come, and done feeling like a stranger in her own body.
Hosted by Bre Wolta, Relationship Clarity Coach, Nervous System and EFT Certified Practitioner, this podcast goes beyond the surface of narcissistic abuse recovery and into the work that actually creates change — healing the nervous system, understanding the parts of you that kept you bonded, and learning to trust yourself again so you can find yourself again on the other side of heartbreak.
Every episode blends real conversation, personal story, and practical tools to help you understand why the trauma bond doesn't break with information alone, and what it actually takes to find the self-esteem and confidence in relationships that you have in your career.
Because the goal isn't just to get over him. It's to become a woman who knows who she is, trusts what she feels, and never loses herself in a relationship again.
This is where the healing that information alone can't reach finally begins.
If you're ready to stop surviving and start becoming — you're in the right place.
