Do You Know How to Get Free from Narcissistic Abuse?

Mia Hanks had a rude awakening when she realized something was ‘not normal’ in her marriage. The worst part was that she could not see a way out. Narcissistic abuse is a bondage that has only recently been exposed as mental and physical abuse.  

Narcissistic abuse is somewhat of an epidemic, and it seems many victims don't know how to escape it.  Mia Hanks is an award-winning author who brings awareness to the struggles of those abused by a narcissist and offers hope to those who need direction.


Mia's memoir chronicles her 29-year marriage to a covert narcissist.  Told in a series of short stories, it gives an insider view of day-to-day life with a narcissistic spouse.  Additionally, she has a newly launched website, miajhanks.com, providing links to podcast episodes and various other information on narcissistic abuse. 


Many listeners will relate to Mia’s amazing story of survival and ultimately escape.

Is the Lie You Are Telling Other People, the Lie You Believe?

One day, Troy Karnes drank too much and missed his wife’s birthday dinner (that he had planned). To show her he could change, he put $10k into their joint bank account and told her he wanted to use it for a dream vacation a year later. If he messed up, she could take it.

He didn’t last a month.

She kicked him out of the house that afternoon.

When he woke up in a hotel the next day, he watched the sunrise and had no idea where he had slept the night before, where he would be a week from then, or which company he might work for. He worked in the alcohol business his entire career but knew something had to change.

It was a pretty hopeless moment.

No Silver Bulletts


    No Silver Bullets: 

Your life isn't broken. Stop trying to fix it.

If youʼve tried all the quick fixes in standard self-help books but never got fixed, hereʼs a four-letter framework that brings you clarity, improves your mental health, and boosts your resilience. You may also lose fifty pounds. (I did.)

What Youʼll Learn:

Why the standard self-help doesnʼt work

Science-backed insights linking food, mood, relationships, and energy. Proven strategies for

  • Losing weight
  • Reducing overthinking
  • Maintaining sobriety
  • Strengthening relationships
  • Parenting a special needs child
  • And more


Plus, stories about

  • Betty White
  • Maverick
  • And more


Everyone thinks we should solve problems all the time, and I get it.

Successful people make a lot of money running into problems, solving them, and then simplifying them for the masses.

But in my experience, and according to my research, the biggest problems in our lives donʼt have solutions.

A System You Wonʼt Forget

Thatʼs why the HALT system works. It addresses the real problems in your life:

H (Hungry): How it impacts your mood, health, and resilience.

A (Angry): Learn practical ways to manage your emotions. All of them.

L (Lonely): Strengthen your relationships. They are the most important thing you have.

T (Tired): Figure out how to keep enough energy to make the most of your time.
