Kris Reece: Break Free from Toxic Relationships and Thrive

On this episode of A Woman’s Heart, Lisa sits down with Kris Reece, Christian author, toxic relationship coach, and manipulation tactics specialist, to talk about her new book Breaking the Narcissist’s Grip.

Kris equips believers to break free from controlling and emotionally destructive relationships—whether it’s a narcissistic spouse, an enmeshed parent, or a manipulative leader—and to reclaim the peace, identity, and confidence God intended.

In this powerful and hope-filled conversation, Kris shares how God brought healing to her own heart and how we can walk in freedom, even when we can’t yet escape difficult circumstances. She reminds us that true peacemaking isn’t about enabling dysfunction—it’s about pursuing truth and wholeness.

Some highlights from the conversation:
💬 “It’s about letting God mend those broken places and teach me how to guard my heart with wisdom, not with fear or ferocity.”
💬 “When we enable dysfunction, we enable manipulation…when we do that, we enable evil, and now we’re working against God.”
💬 “Unless you’re secure in who you are and whose you are, manipulators will get you every single time.”
💬 “Healing isn’t a luxury…it is central. It’s crucial to your calling.”

If you’ve ever felt confused, controlled, or spiritually guilted in a relationship, this episode will bring both clarity and compassion—and remind you that God desires your wholeness and peace.
