A few important things to know:

• She Asked Why (“website”) and Talking to the Light (“collection”) do not provide medical, psychological, legal, or therapeutic advice, and it is not an instructional guide for navigating abusive relationships or family systems.

• While they explore maternal narcissistic abuse through lived experience and spirit communication, they do not minimize abuse or your personal experience with it.

• This collection is for a mature audience only. It includes sensitive and potentially triggering material, as well as occasional profanity.

• This is not a collection that asks you to love, accept, or easily forgive a narcissistic mother for who she is. If that is what you are looking for, this may not be a fit.

• Because of the digital and deeply personal nature of Talking to the Light, all sales are final. No refunds or exchanges are available.

• This collection is meant to be read in the order presented. Skipping around may feel disjointed and dilute the experience.
