Shifted Sisters is a private community for women who are ready to stop giving everything
to everyone else.
Start making room for your needs.
You can begin quietly, right where you are.
Created by Margi Bowden a qualified counsellor, educator, life coach, and survivor of four decades of narcissistic abuse.
A friendship became harder to maintain.
An invitation felt easier to decline.
Someone in your family believed his version of events.
And after a while, smaller started to feel normal.
Leaving didn't undo it. So you've carried so much of it on your own.
It doesn't have to stay that way.


Inside Shifted Sisters, you can get to know other women rebuilding life after narcissistic abuse, through community conversations, shared experiences and monthly group calls.
Talk about what’s on your mind without explaining your whole history.
Share a small win with women who understand why it matters.
Give and receive encouragement as you try something new.
Build friendships over time, without pressure to share before you’re ready.
Start quietly if you like. Read, listen and join a conversation when it feels right for you.
Helps you loosen the narcissist’s hold on your thoughts, move out of survival mode and rediscover who you are, so you can trust your own decisions and live life on your terms.
Recognise the survival patterns still shaping your reactions and practise responding with greater understanding and choice.
Reconnect with your values, needs and preferences, and practise making decisions without seeking everyone’s approval.
Bring these changes into daily life through boundaries, habits and choices that reflect what matters to you.

I was a teenager when it began. It stayed part of my life for the next four decades.
In that time, I sought help from more than 17 professionals.
Not one of them helped me name what was happening, understand why I could not leave, or explain why I still did not feel free.
When I finally found the language for narcissistic abuse, much of my life made sense.
But understanding the relationship was not the same as knowing how to rebuild after it.
I had to find my own way forward.
Piece by piece, I began recognising the survival patterns I had mistaken for my personality.
I rebuilt trust in my judgement.
I discovered what I wanted.
I found healthy love.
And I found parts of myself I had assumed were gone for good.
Since then, I have worked with survivors around the world and built an audience of women who kept telling me the same thing:
"I understand what happened. I just don't know how to feel like myself again."
That is why I created The Freedom Shift.
And that is why I created Shifted Sisters.
Not simply to explain narcissistic abuse.
But to give women the roadmap and the belonging I needed all those years ago.

“People probably thought I had a pretty good life. But inside I was covering up somuch misery. I was anxious all the time and doubted myself terribly.
Now I'm free and I haven't felt this good in years. More peace. More confidence in myself.”
— Sash R.

"It sounds strange to say this out loud, but I believed I couldn't have a happy life without my husband in it. It's crazy how much my thinking has changed.
I still pinch myself when my new partner does kind stuff for me. I feel I deserve to be loved now.”
— Lou D.
"I really appreciate how informed you are on narcissism. I wish I found you five years ago, but better late than never. I'm making huge changes now, that I never thought would happen.”
— Beverley. D.

No. Shifted Sisters is not therapy and does not replace professional mental health support.
It is a structured healing community led by a qualified counsellor and coach, designed specifically for survivors of narcissistic abuse and coercive control.
If you are currently in crisis or need individual clinical support, we encourage you to seek help from a qualified mental health professional.
Most support spaces help you understand narcissistic abuse.
Shifted Sisters helps you rebuild your life after it.
Yes, you'll learn why survival mode still influences your thoughts, emotions and decisions. But more importantly, you'll be surrounded by women who truly understand your experience.
This is a place to be seen, supported and encouraged as you practise trusting yourself again, build genuine friendships and create a life that no longer revolves around what happened to you.
Healing is hard in isolation. It becomes much more possible when you no longer have to do it alone.
Many women inside Shifted Sisters have already worked with therapists, read books, listened to podcasts or completed other healing programs.
Therapy can help you understand what happened.
Shifted Sisters helps you understand what survival mode taught you and supports you as you begin rebuilding self-trust, confidence and connection in everyday life.
For many women, this is the missing piece.
You are welcome here.
Many women join while they are still in the relationship because they are trying to make sense of what they're experiencing.
Others are preparing to leave, while many have already left.
You will never be told what you should do. This is a place to better understand yourself, rebuild self-trust and make decisions that are right for you, wherever you are in your journey.
There is no timeline for healing.
Many survivors believe they should feel better simply because the relationship ended. But survival mode doesn't work to a calendar.
Whether it's been six months or twenty years, if you still feel anxious, disconnected, hypervigilant or unsure of yourself, this work is for you.
That makes complete sense.
Many survivors arrive feeling cautious, overwhelmed or unsure whether they can trust themselves—or anyone else.
There is no pressure to share, participate or have everything figured out.
Some women introduce themselves straight away.
Others quietly listen to the podcast, work through the framework and read community conversations for weeks before saying a word.
You are welcome exactly as you are.
Most women join wondering exactly that.
Years of narcissistic abuse can leave you feeling isolated, misunderstood and like nobody could possibly understand what you've lived through.
One of the things members say most often is, "I finally feel understood."
You don't have to earn your place here.
If you're recovering from narcissistic abuse or coercive control, you've found women who understand your journey.
No.
You can participate as much or as little as you like.
Many members begin by simply listening, learning and reading.
Others enjoy asking questions and joining conversations.
There is no expectation to post or share before you're ready.
The Freedom Shift framework is audio-led and completely self-paced.
You can listen while walking, driving or doing everyday tasks.
There is no schedule to keep up with and no pressure to finish by a certain date.
You move at the pace that's right for you.
You'll receive immediate access to the Shifted Sisters community and Stage One of the Freedom Shift framework.
You'll also receive a welcome guide showing you exactly where to begin, so you never have to wonder what to do first.
Every live Q&A is recorded and added to the community library.
If you can't attend live, you'll still have access to everything that was discussed whenever it suits you.
Our live community Q&A takes place on the first Wednesday of each month.

If you need to take a break, you can pause your membership and return when you're ready. (If your membership doesn't offer pausing, you can cancel and rejoin later.)
This community will still be here whenever you're ready to continue.
Yes. Cancellation depends on the membership option you choose.
Monthly Membership – US$79/month
You can cancel your monthly membership at any time. Your cancellation will take effect at the end of your current monthly billing period, and you will continue to have access until then.
We do not provide partial-month refunds.

Imagine saying what you think without rehearsing it first.
Making a decision without needing someone else to approve it.
Saying no without spending the evening feeling guilty.
Feeling loved without making yourself smaller.
And making plans you’re excited about, because they’re finally yours.
You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin.
Give yourself permission to take this step.
Inside Shifted Sisters, you’ll have guidance, support and women beside you as you build a life that feels like your own.
