Candice M Royer

Candice M. Royer is a Gen X author writing about manipulation, narcissistic relationship patterns, gaslighting, trauma bonds, and boundaries.

Her work comes from lived experience. Over ten years and two relationships, she saw narcissistic and manipulative behaviors take very different forms while producing many of the same results. Now eleven months into no contact, Candice is determined to make the next half of her life look nothing like the first.

She writes primarily for women who have spent years or a lifetime living under someone else’s control or version of reality and have finally reached the point where something clicks.

You see it now.

Candice skips the clinical jargon and breaks down patterns, tactics, warning signs, and practical boundaries in plain language. Her goal is to give readers validation, clarity, and tools to trust their own judgment and become harder to control.

You don’t have to spend your life studying narcissists. You just need to learn enough to never build your life around one again.
