183. Unlearning That You Are “Too Much” By Creating A Healthy Outlet For Your Feelings As You Heal From Narcissistic Abuse
11/11/2026 | 24 mins.What if you were never “too much”, and nobody showed you wehre your feelings were supposed to go?
If you’ve come out of a narcissistic relationship, chances are your emotions were treated like the problem — too big, too much, or something to be managed down.
This episode offers a completely different lens and invitation for you to meet yourself in your feelings, one I found on a winding stretch of Highway 1.
From this episode, you will learn:
Why the ocean’s most turbulent waves and a towering redwood forest are actually a perfect map of your inner world
What it means to ride a feeling instead of fighting it, and why feeling equipped makes healing possible
Three grounding questions that invite you to find beauty (yes, beauty) in the emotions you’ve been conditioned to outrun
Hit play on this one the next time an emotion rises that you’d rather avoid — it might be the first time you let it crest instead of running from it.

How Nervous System Work Helps You Become A Peaceful, Confident & Powerful Woman Again After Narcissistic Trauma (Client Story)
02/11/2026 | 50 mins.What does it actually look like when the healing starts working?
This episode is a real, unfiltered look at what four months of nervous system and parts work can do. Nicole came into the Becoming program exhausted, not from a lack of trying, but from all the researching, ruminating, and still feeling like she couldn’t trust herself, her reality, or her own perception.
What changed wasn’t a mindset shift or a journaling habit, it was learning to actually meet the parts of herself that had been quietly running the show.
Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
Why having all the knowledge still isn’t enough to heal, and the missing pieces that finally made everything click for Nicole
How learning to “meet your parts” ends the exhausting cycle of black-and-white thinking and rumination that made her feel so powerless
The surprising way doing your own healing creates a ripple effect your kids will carry into their relationships for generations
If you’ve been on the fence about whether this work is really for you, press play — Nicole once sat exactly where you are, and she has something to say to you.

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.
