H.E.A.L. (Honour Elevate And Love) Her Podcast
I'm Makini Smith!
After going through a divorce, my sister passing away, experiencing narcissistic abuse, and some significant health scares, I realized through sharing my story that I wasn't alone in my suffering...suffering; subjective distress generated by the experience of being out of balance.
In a deep dive to holistically heal mind, body and soul, is where I discovered peace, clarity and connection.
It is impossible to be truly wise without some real-life hardship. And we cannot develop post-traumatic wisdom without making it through and, most importantly, through it together.
Social connection builds resilience, and resilience helps create post-traumatic wisdom, and that wisdom leads to hope. Hope for you and others witnessing and participating in your healing and for your community.
A healthy community is a healing community, and a healing community is full of hope because it has seen its own people weather--survive and thrive.

Makini Smith ”Swindled By Deception and Fraud”
Thursday Mar 10, 2022
Thursday Mar 10, 2022
Today is a solo episode to bring awareness to women being swindled by deception and fraud. Even if you have not had this experience, you may know someone that has or presently is and this information could save their life. It was inspired by the Netflix documentary The Tinder Swindler.
The documentary tells the story of the Israeli conman Simon Leviev who used the dating application Tinder to connect with individuals who he then emotionally manipulated into financially supporting his lavish lifestyle on the pretence he needed the money to escape his "enemies." Posing as a wealthy, jet-setting diamond mogul, he wooed women online then conned them out of millions of dollars.
I share:
my personal past experience and how the documentary triggered old wounds
how the documentary is the perfect primer to narcissistic relationships according to clinical psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula
Triangulation, lies and manipulation that they use
