When Obsession Looks Like Love: Honouring Naso and Every Woman Fighting to Break Free

“As you begin to detach from a narcissist, you realise, it wasn’t them that made the connection feel so intense. It was your obsession that made them seem so special.” - Sri Kaiser

This quote hits hard because for many women, the moment of clarity comes not in the middle of the relationship, but at the breaking point, when love has long since curdled into control.

Keotshepile Naso Isaacs, known to friends and family simply as Naso, was a woman with dreams. A mother of three, she had just arrived in the UK from Otse, a village in south-east Botswana. She came here to rebuild, to give her sons a safer, stronger future. Her smile radiated warmth, her devotion to her boys was undeniable and those who knew her called her “a beautiful soul.”

Things a Narcissist Will Never Do for You and Why Claudia Kambanza’s Story Still Haunts Us

They’ll never ask how your day was.

They won’t care about your tears unless it’s about them.

They won’t apologise from the heart, only to regain control.

They’ll never uplift your friends, your dreams or your truth.

When Narcissism Hides Behind the Mission Statement

Leadership vs. Performance: A Workplace Reflection

We often think of narcissism as personal. Intimate. Domestic. But what happens when it walks into the office in a tailored suit, quoting company values and using “inclusion” as a marketing phrase?

Let’s go deeper.

Narcissistic leaders are often the ones who speak of morals they’ve never lived, just like the image says.

The Circle Around the Narcissist Is Never Accidental

They don’t operate alone.

Narcissists are often surrounded by three types of people:

• Those who enable.

• Those who ignore.

Emotional Abuse Doesn’t Always Leave Bruises, It Leaves Scars

You don’t have to be hit to be harmed. You don’t have to be screamed at to be silenced. Sometimes, it’s the quietest moments that hurt the most.

This post is for the ones who’ve endured:

• The cold silence used as punishment

• The eye rolls when you express your truth

When Silence Becomes Fatal:

Control, Not Accountability

They don’t want accountability, they want control. And when that control slips, some will kill to get it back.

This isn’t a metaphor. It’s happening in real time.

In April 2024, 27-year-old Kulsuma Akter was pushing her seven-month-old baby in a pram outside a women's refuge in Bradford, when her husband, Habibur Masum, tracked her down and stabbed her to death.

Never Again Knowledge, Healing & Protection After Narcissistic Abuse

Sis, let’s break the silence and speak truth in this sacred space.

Far too many women strong, intelligent, nurturing women have found themselves caught in the web of a narcissist or sociopath. And let’s be clear, it wasn’t because you lacked value. It was because they saw your light and made it their mission to dim it. But today, we take our power back.

The truth is, narcissists don’t prey on weakness. They prey on goodness.

They target people with open hearts and generous spirits. Women who forgive easily, who extend second chances, who see the best in others even when it hurts. But here’s the thing without the right tools, many of us didn’t even realise what we were up against. We mistook love bombing for love. We mistook gaslighting for miscommunication. We mistook control for care.

The Mask Never Slips – Until It Does

In the 1960s, a psychologist named Leon Festinger introduced the world to the theory of cognitive dissonance, the uncomfortable tension that arises when what we believe doesn't match what we do. Now imagine a life built entirely on contradiction. The narcissist's world is one of illusion—a constant act to preserve control, admiration and the fantasy of superiority. But there's a moment, often brief and terrifying to them, when the mask cracks.

That moment is what they fear more than anything: exposure!

Narcissists do not just lie to others; they lie to themselves. Neuroscience tells us…
