Narcissists, Gaslighters, and Cheaters, Oh My!26 Feb 2025

Slaying Demons with Kim Davis

Kim Davis didn't just survive a toxic childhood — she caught herself repeating it. And then she stopped.

In this episode, Behk & LAH sit down with Kim, co-host of Slaycation, to talk about growing up with an abusive, tyrannical father and what that quietly taught her about relationships before she was old enough to question it. Kim is refreshingly honest about the ways she mirrored those patterns in her twenties — and the therapy, self-awareness, and hard internal work it took to unlearn them.

This one blends personal vulnerability with genuinely practical insight. Kim talks about trusting your instincts, not engaging with people who don't serve your wellbeing, and how true crime — of all things — shaped her understanding of her own safety.

A fellow podcaster, a survivor, and someone who did the work. This conversation has a lot to offer.
