This is for you if

  • ✓You're tired of the manipulation, gaslighting, and emotional roller coaster.
  • ✓You're in a toxic relationship or struggling to heal after leaving one.
  • ✓You've lost yourself trying to keep someone else happy.
  • ✓You struggle with setting boundaries or saying no without feeling guilty.
  • ✓You're tired of repeating the same unhealthy relationship patterns.

Probably not for you if

  • –You're looking for someone to tell you what you want to hear instead of what you need to hear.
  • –Your main goal is to change, fix, or control the other person rather than focus on yourself.
  • –You're not open to exploring unhealthy patterns or learning new ways to set boundaries.
  • –You're expecting overnight results or a quick fix.
  • –You're seeking therapy, a mental health diagnosis, or crisis intervention rather than life coaching.

Background

About

I've been through my share of narcissistic relationships, and I know firsthand how difficult it can be to break free from a toxic cycle that feels impossible to escape.

I know what it's like to feel helpless, emotionally drained, confused, and unsure where to turn. I know those days when you want someone to talk to, but you're afraid they won't understand. The truth is, narcissistic abuse is hard for people to fully understand unless they've experienced it themselves.

I've been there. I've questioned myself, struggled to find my strength, and wondered if things would ever get better. But I found my way out, and I want you to know that you can too.

That's why I created Boundary Lab Life Coach. I want to share what I've learned through my own experiences and help other women recognize unhealthy patterns, establish boundaries, rebuild their confidence, and take back control of their lives.

I'm not here to judge you, tell you to just leave, or pretend healing happens overnight. I'm here because I understand how complicated it really is.

If I could overcome what once seemed impossible, I believe you can too.

Your Peace Is Not Up for Negotiation.

What sets me apart

Why Choose Chrissy

I've lived through it. I know what it's like to be caught in the cycle of narcissistic abuse, to feel helpless, confused, and unsure how to move forward.

I'm not here to judge you, give you scripted responses, or tell you what you want to hear. I'm here to listen, understand, and have real, honest conversations about what you're going through.

Your life isn't a script, and your struggles aren't just another coaching session. You deserve more than generic advice and textbook answers. You deserve someone who understands, takes your experiences seriously, and helps you find real solutions that work for your situation.

I won't sugarcoat things, but I won't judge you either.

This is your life. Your peace. Your future. And it deserves a real response, not a rehearsed one.

Methodology

My Coaching Approach

This is your time to be heard without judgment. Whether you're currently in a toxic relationship, trying to break free, or struggling to heal after leaving, we'll talk about what you're experiencing and what's holding you back.

Together, we'll identify unhealthy patterns, work on setting boundaries, rebuild your confidence, and develop practical steps to help you regain control of your life.

No pressure, no judgment, and definitely no sugarcoating. Just honest conversations, real support, and practical guidance from someone who understands what you've been through.

You don't have to figure it all out alone. Your peace matters, and so do you.

Best Fit

Who I Help

My ideal client is a woman, or someone who identifies as a woman, who is currently experiencing or recovering from a narcissistic or toxic relationship. She may feel emotionally drained, confused, stuck, or unsure how to break free from the cycle.

She may have lost her confidence, questioned her self-worth, or struggled to set boundaries because she's been made to feel guilty for putting herself first.

She's tired of the manipulation, broken promises, and emotional roller coaster. She wants peace but may not know where to begin.

She doesn't have to have everything figured out. She just needs to be ready to take that first step toward reclaiming her life.

I want to work with women who are ready for honest conversations, real change, and a life where their peace is no longer negotiable.
