About Me

I’m Melissa Lockerman—a survivor of 21 years of narcissistic abuse, coach, speaker, and author of the upcoming book, Becoming Narc-Proof: Break the Cycle, Discover Your Worth, and Become Immune to Narcissists.

After years of emotional, financial, and psychological abuse, what once broke me became the foundation for a new life. I came back stronger, wiser, and free—and now I walk with others as they do the same. I learned to rebuild with God at the center, and today I help survivors root their recovery in His truth, protect the best parts of themselves, and step boldly into the life they were meant to live.

I believe that most survivors aren’t broken or weak—they’re kind, considerate, giving, tolerant, humble, responsible, dependable, disciplined, perseverant, and loyal. These beautiful, God-given traits are not flaws, but they can be weaponized by toxic people. Healing isn’t about analyzing the narcissist or figuring out what's wrong with you; it’s about learning to protect what makes you extraordinary so it can never be used against you again.

My book offers a raw, faith-infused roadmap to recovery, blending lived experience with practical tools to help you break the cycle of narcissistic abuse for good. My mission is to show you that you are not broken, you are not too far gone, and you already have everything you need to rise and live free.

Through my coaching programs, I help survivors of narcissistic abuse break free from its impact, rediscover their self-worth, and finally live anchored in freedom. My coaching meets you where you are—whether you’re still in the relationship and trying to get out, out but struggling to heal, or free but unsure how to rebuild your life. Together, we focus on reclaiming your voice, setting unshakable boundaries, and building a future where your best traits can shine safely.
