What is Phoenix, Bitch!?
We're two survivors with questionable coping mechanisms who turned trauma into a podcast because therapy alone wasn't enough. We're here to vent, overshare, call out toxic nonsense, and laugh through the darkness. But we're not just telling our story; we're showing you the receipts. We expose narcissistic abuse through actual texts, voice recordings, and videos: the evidence they never thought we'd share.
This podcast is for anyone who's clawed or is clawing their way out of narcissistic abuse, emotional manipulation, or the kind of relationship that burns you down from the inside out. We talk real, we talk raw, we talk 90% in F bombs. So get ready, because rising isn't always graceful, but it is powerful. This is our rebirth, our reckoning, and our reminder that we don't just survive. We rise from the flames.
Trigger warning! We'll be discussing sensitive topics in this podcast. We're here to validate, not treat. Please seek professional help if you need it.
