Who We Are

Unfilteredd^® is an organization dedicated to helping people build a life free from the effects of narcissistic abuse that reflects who they truly want to be.

We were founded in 2021 by Juliana and Elijah Akin. Here’s why:

Juliana grew up around a lot of narcissistic people, and this distorted her understanding of what healthy relationships are.

This all began to change when she walked into a café in Rauma, Finland, and met Elijah. 

He had gone through similar experiences with narcissistic abuse but had a deeper understanding of it at the time.

So, he was able to help Juliana understand many different things, and their relationship created the space they both needed to work on themselves and heal.

But the more they learned about narcissistic abuse, the more they realized just how fortunate they were to be in the position they were in.

Millions of people spend their entire lives struggling with the effects of narcissistic abuse, often without even fully realizing it.

And yet, because they happened to be in a café at the same time in Rauma, Finland, of all places, they were able to connect and turn their lives around.

So, many years after meeting for the first time, they decided to create Unfilteredd to make the turning point they found in the café that day accessible to everyone. 

They started by just writing articles, but over the years, they’ve recruited several mental health professionals to help build Unfilteredd into what it is today:
