Summary
In this episode, I talk to Heather Black who is in my High-Performance Healing Mastermind and is passionate about helping parents get back into the workplace so they can parent with flexibility and create a new, lucrative career for themselves. When I left my narcissistic partner, I had suffered from financial abuse, and as a result, I lost my house and was severely in debt. If you are feeling stuck, have been financially abused, and feel like there is no way out of your financial situation like I once did, this episode is a must-listen.
What you will learn in this episode:
- How to earn financial independence by doing something you love
- The tools to create a flexible and rewarding career
- Why you can recover from financial abuse and how to create freedom
Heather is the founder and CEO of Supermums. She is the mum of two gorgeous little girls and lives by the sea in East Sussex whilst working remotely. In 2010 she became an accidental Salesforce admin for her non-profit and loved it so much that she decided to upskill as a Salesforce Consultant in 2012 helping other non-profits to implement a CRM. She realised her career path could work for other mothers so she launched Supermums in 2016 to bring more women into the sector. As a consultant, she has overseen over 700 Salesforce projects and now enjoys upskilling talent in Salesforce consultancy and coaching skills.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the narcissistic trauma recovery podcast. I'm Caroline Strawson and I'll be sharing with you |
| 0:09.6 | awareness, understanding and education about the devastating effects of narcissistic abuse to help you thrive. |
| 0:16.5 | I want you to know that I've been exactly where you are and I believe you. And this show is all |
| 0:22.8 | about taking you from trauma to transformation. Hi, everyone. A massive warm welcome to the |
| 0:30.2 | narcissistic trauma recovery podcast. As always, it's amazing to have you here. And today we're |
| 0:36.8 | doing a podcast that is something that is a real, really passion of mine insofar as it's about financial independence. |
| 0:44.8 | You know, many of you listening or even if you're a new listener, will know that when I broke up from my ex-husband who was a covert narcissist, I actually lost my family home. |
| 0:53.7 | It was repossessed. And I was left |
| 0:55.7 | in over 70,000 pounds worth of debt. I was totally financially independent on my ex-husband, |
| 1:02.6 | having actually prior to my marriage and when we started being married, actually earning more than |
| 1:08.0 | him. So over that period of time, and we know financial abuse, you know, |

| 1:46.5 | stay listening to this podcast because this podcast is all about how you can regain financial |
| 1:53.1 | independence and relaunch your career after narcissistic abuse. Because let me tell you, |
| 1:57.9 | it is possible. And I know you're probably sat there thinking, how? Well, you need to stay tuned. Because, you know, sufferers of narcissistic abuse, we often need to regain our financial independence. But I'm sure you guys all know this. We struggle with confidence, motivation, sourcing investment. You know, we may have no money in our bank account. I know I had |
| 2:18.3 | pens in my bank account, believing that we're not worthy anymore, that we're going to struggle, |
| 2:23.2 | how do we get a job? And today we're going to unpack all of this, because I have got the most |
