Fake Love and Flying Monkeys
The podcast where Fake Love is exposed. Welcome to Fake Love and Flying Monkeys! Hosted by Nova Gibson, Principal Counsellor at Brighter Outlook Narcissistic Abuse Counselling, this podcast is dedicated to helping you navigate the pain and confusion of toxic relationships, and emotional abuse, especially those involving a suspected or undiagnosed narcissist.
Nova brings years of expertise as a specialist trauma-informed counsellor, guiding survivors of narcissistic abuse to become the experts in their own trauma. In relationships where narcissists rarely, if ever, seek a diagnosis—believing there is nothing wrong with their behaviour—it’s vital for survivors to gain clarity, validation, and the tools needed to heal.
Through candid conversations, expert insights, and practical strategies, Nova and her guests unpack the manipulative tactics of emotional abuse, from gaslighting and control to triangulation and smear campaigns. Whether you’re dealing with a narcissistic partner, parent, coworker, or friend, Fake Love and Flying Monkeys empowers you to identify the patterns, set healthy boundaries, and rebuild your confidence after years of self-doubt and emotional exhaustion.
This podcast doesn’t just shine a light on the hidden dynamics of narcissistic abuse—it hands you the torch to take back your power. You’ll learn to validate your experiences, protect your mental health, and break free from the toxic cycle, even without the confirmation of a formal diagnosis.
If you’ve ever felt trapped, silenced, or unsure of how to move forward, this is your safe space. Nova’s compassionate, down-to-earth approach ensures you’re not just heard—you’re understood.
Tune in to Fake Love and Flying Monkeys and discover the tools you need to expose the fake love in your life, reclaim your worth, and step into a future of peace and empowerment.

Narcissistic Abuse victim pays the ultimate price (Trigger Warning): w/ Ali Kessler
Narcissistic Abuse victim pays the ultimate price (Trigger Warning): w/ Ali Kessler
In this episode I am joined by Ali Kessler. Ali is a writer, marketing professional, passionate parent advocate
and founder of Greyson's Choice, a 501(c)
(3) created to raise awareness about
the risk of domestic abuse on children.
Greyson's Choice was founded by Ali
Kessler in memory of her sweet, vibrant,
and fearless 4.5-year-old son, Greyson
who was murdered by his biological
father in a murder-suicide during an
unsupervised, court-approved visit in Ft.
Lauderdale, FL, in 2021. This came just
hours after her petition for a domestic
violence injunction was denied by a
Broward County judge, citing that the
'petitioner has failed to allege any overt
acts by the respondent which would
constitute domestic violence under
Florida Statute,
Ali's advocacy efforts culminated in
successfully passing Greyson's Law
during the 2023 legislative session. This
bill now requires the court to consider
threats against ex-partners or spouses
when making child visitation and custody
determinations in the court.
Here is Ali's story 💔
