WOW Love Light Inspire the podcast
Are you a woman navigating life after divorce, toxic relationships, emotional abuse, or simply the weight of always putting everyone else first? Do you find yourself asking: Who am I now? What do I want? And how do I even begin to rebuild my life?
Welcome to WOW – Love Light Inspire, the podcast where we dive deep into the real stuff—healing, self-worth, emotional freedom, and what it means to rise after life knocks you down.
I’m your host, Lorene Roberts—Counsellor, Root Cause Therapist, program creator, emotional abuse survivor, author, mother, grandmother, and passionate change-maker for women ready to reclaim their power.
In each episode, I bring you honest, soul-stirring conversations about:
- Healing after divorce and toxic relationships
- Understanding trauma and how it shows up in everyday life
- Breaking free from limiting beliefs and people-pleasing
- Rebuilding self-worth, identity, and emotional strength
- The messy, magical journey of becoming YOU again
Occasionally, I sit down with other women who’ve lived through the fire and come out the other side—with wisdom to share and stories that remind us we’re never alone.
Whether you’re starting over, seeking emotional freedom, or simply ready to stop living small, this podcast is for you.
Expect truth. Expect depth. Expect heart.
No fluff. No sugar-coating. Just raw, powerful insight to support your healing and growth.
✨ You’re not broken—you’re becoming. Let’s walk this together.

How to Know If You Were in a Narcissistic Relationship
Narcissism 101: What They Don’t Tell You Until It’s Too Late
with Lorene Roberts & Richard Morden
How do you know if you were with a narcissist?
Why is it so hard to leave — even when you know something’s not right?
And what’s the first step toward healing after narcissistic abuse?
In this episode of Real Talk: Divorce, Life & Everything In-Between, Lorene Roberts and Richard Morden unpack exactly what happens inside a narcissistic relationship — and why so many people end up feeling broken, lost, and doubting themselves long after it’s over.
You’ll learn:
✅ What narcissism really is — explained in plain language
✅ The “love bombing” stage and why it feels so good at first
✅ The cycle of idealisation, devaluation, discard and hoovering
✅ The subtle tactics narcissists use to confuse, control and isolate you
✅ Why trauma bonding makes it so hard to leave
✅ How to spot the red flags you may have missed
✅ Why so many smart, capable people stay in narcissistic relationships — and why it is NOT your fault
✅ How narcissistic abuse impacts your body, mind, and emotions
✅ First steps to start healing, reclaim your voice, and trust yourself again
If you’ve ever found yourself thinking:
"Am I going crazy?"
"Why do I still miss them?"
"Why can’t I let go — even after everything they did?"
"Why didn’t I leave sooner?"
This episode is for YOU.
Narcissistic abuse doesn’t just break your heart — it distorts your sense of reality and erodes your self-worth. And the first step toward recovery is understanding what happened… and knowing that you are not alone.
Reflection Questions:
- What signs did you ignore — and why?
- Where is pride or shame still keeping you from speaking about what happened?
- What would you say to your past self if you could?
Affirmation:
"I am not broken. I see clearly now. I trust my gut, and I deserve peace."
