Narcissistic Abuse: Roots, Patterns, and Healing
A Quest for Well-Being
Narcissistic abuse is a destructive form of abuse that impacts interpersonal growth and leaves its victims shells of their former self. It stems from beliefs we have about the self – typically learned as children, our feelings of worthiness of love, and an altered reality that becomes commonplace for emotional or physical survival. It is, however, possible to heal from a relationship with a narcissist. Some of the strongest people I know are survivors. Healthy love and connection are calm, safe, and don’t require self-compromise to be worthy of it; it is given freely and without judgment....

info_outline— “Breadcrumb Legacy is about being intentional in each moment. Every day is an opportunity to leave an impact; even if it’s not immediately apparent, small actions will accumulate into a legacy that others will remember.”
Valeria interviews Jann E. Freed — She is the author of “BREADCRUMB LEGACY: How Great Leaders Live a Life Worth Remembering.”
Dr. Ruth is one of her sheroes.
Dr. Ruth, sex therapist, professor, author, professor, was talking about sex in the 80s, a taboo subject, when no one wanted to talk about it. Dr. Jann wants to talk about retirement when people don’t want to talk about it and are scared to even think about it!
At 94, Dr. Ruth is still writing and speaking and Jann plans to do the same.
As a former professor for decades, Dr. Jann decided to practice what she was teaching and preaching. She says she is out to retire the word “retirement.” We are not retiring from life, but moving onto something else. Jann believes it takes time and intentional thought to successfully move on to what’s next in life.
This awakening led her on a research journey that resulted in her book Leading with Wisdom: Sage Advice from 100 Experts. One chapter that really resonated was “Leaders Live Their Legacy.” So Dr. Jann did a deep dive on legacy work and set out to interview gurus. From this work, she created the concept of Breadcrumb Legacy™ and it became her latest book Breadcrumb Legacy: How Great Leaders Live a Life Worth Remembering.
Dr. Jann also hosts the “Becoming a Sage Podcast” where she interviews thought leaders on the wisdom of life and work. She also writes the “Leading Edge” column for Training Magazine which is published in print and online.
Dr. Jann’s mission is to be a seeker and learner who leaves a Breadcrumb Legacy for herself and others.
She lives in Des Moines, Iowa with her husband and her dog, Grover. She is proud of her three adult sons who are thriving in this ever-changing world.
