Description

Chances are, you’ve encountered a narcissist—maybe in love, maybe in life. Statistically, 1 in 200 people have Narcissistic Personality Disorder (and that’s just the diagnosed ones). In this episode, I open the door—just a crack—into my own experience dating one. Trust me, this story needs a Part 2… maybe even a Part 10. I’ll walk you through the 10 stages of what I call “The Narcissist Cycle”: 1. Love bombing & fantasy love 2. Subtle (and not-so-subtle) control 3. Boundary bulldozing 4. Cold-blooded lack of empathy 5. Hot & cold confusion 6. Projection, deflection, and manipulation 7. Validation addiction—yours and theirs 8. The awakening: rediscovering self-worth 9. Pattern recognition & reclaiming your power 10. The breakaway—breaking free, for real If you’re in it—or recovering from it—I’ve got your back. Around 26:00, I share a few grounding mantras to help you stay centered if you’re tangled in any relationship with a narcissist.
