From Coercion to Courage: How to Reclaim Your Life After Abuse | Stevie Carnegie | The Elisha Show
What happens when someone uses power, influence, or emotional manipulation to control another person's choices? And how can people who have experienced abuse move beyond blaming themselves and begin rebuilding their lives?
On this episode of The Elisha Show, Stevie Carnegie, discusses her book, From Coercion to Courage, and why understanding psychological abuse is essential for both survivors and those who care about them. Drawing from personal experiences, decades of leadership studies, and her work as an author, Stevie explains how coercion operates, why victims are often blamed, and how entitlement can prevent people from recognizing the pain of others.
She also introduces the Phoenix Approach:understanding your past, honoring your pain, and courageously creating a new future. Through conscious leadership and heart-centered relationships, Stevie encourages people to recognize that what happened to them does not have to define who they become.
In this episode:
✅ What coercion is and how it differs from brainwashing.
✅ Why capable people can become victims of psychological abuse and manipulation.
✅ How entitlement and power can make people dismiss the suffering of others.
✅ The Phoenix Approach to transforming past pain into personal growth
