Breaking the cycle

About the Author

Stevie is a mother, survivor, and advocate for awareness around narcissistic and emotional abuse. After spending nearly 18 years in a mentally abusive relationship, she found the strength to break free and rebuild her life as a single mum, raising her children with love, stability, and resilience.

Her journey has been shaped by betrayal, loss, healing, and growth, but also by the unwavering support of her late mum, who remained her greatest source of strength and encouragement throughout the hardest years of her life. Inspired by her experiences, Stevie began attending women's support groups and learning about narcissistic behaviour and emotional abuse, gaining a deeper understanding of the patterns that once controlled her life.

Through sharing her story, Stevie hopes to raise awareness, help others recognise the signs of emotional and psychological abuse, and give strength to women and men who may feel trapped in similar situations. She believes that no one should suffer in silence and that healing, freedom, and peace are possible after even the darkest experiences.

Breaking the Cycle is her first book â€" a deeply personal memoir written to honour her journey, her children, her late mum, and every survivor who is still finding their way back to themselves.

Today, Stevie focuses on healing, supporting her children, and using her voice to encourage others to recognise abuse, set boundaries, and choose a life built on strength, self-worth, and peace.
