About the Author

Laura Arzaga Riley

Author of Bruised Not Broken

Laura Arzaga Riley is a survivor, truth-seeker, and advocate for those who have endured narcissistic abuse, betrayal, and the devastating impact of family conflict and legal battles.

Her memoir, Bruised Not Broken, is a raw and powerful account of her journey through abuse, manipulation, court battles, estrangement, and the painful reality of standing alone when the truth is inconvenient for others.

But this is not just a story about trauma.It is a story about resilience, faith, and refusing to be silenced.

After years of navigating high-conflict relationships, psychological abuse, and the legal system, Laura chose to document her experiences — not only to reclaim her voice, but to help others recognize the patterns of narcissistic abuse and reclaim their own power.

Through her writing, Laura shines a light on topics many people are afraid to speak about openly:

Narcissistic family dynamics

Gaslighting and manipulation

Courtroom battles with high-conflict individuals

Generational trauma

The strength it takes to rebuild your life when everything falls apart

Her mission is simple:

Expose deception. Speak truth. Help others break the cycle.

Laura currently continues working on advocacy projects, writing, and resources designed to help people protect themselves from emotional abuse and manipulation.  To allow a safe place for you to share your story.
