SUMMARY: - “Hurting people hurt people—but narcissists mean to. The higher up the spectrum, the more deliberate and sadistic it becomes.” - “A normal person can self-reflect and repair. A narcissist can't or won't—self-reflection feels like death to them.” - “You didn't cause this, and you can't fix it. It's not your fault.” - “As darkness rises, so does the glory of God. What the enemy meant for evil, God can turn for good.” - “If you move slowly and keep physical/emotional boundaries while dating, a narcissist will often disqualify himself.” Annette's 4-category spectrum - Category 1: “Normal” human flaws—can be selfish or insensitive at times, but can self-reflect, repent, repair, and grow. - Category 2: Emotionally immature; hurtful without calculated malice. Constant defensiveness, blame-shifting, meltdowns when confronted. Change is unlikely; aim is reducing chaos and managing wisely if you choose to stay. - Category 3: Calculated and conniving. Love-bombing, data-mining your hopes/fears to weaponize later. Public charm/private cruelty. Dangerous in church/community settings. You won't resolve this. - Category 4: Sociopathic/psychopathic traits. Amplified cruelty and real danger. Divorce triggers the “monster.” Requires safety planning, documentation, and expert help. Dating red flags and protection - Love-bombing: intense pursuit, “soulmate” language, over-the-top gestures, fast-moving timeline. - Boundary testing: pushes past your limits; discomfort rises quickly. - Inconsistencies and subtle cruelty: backhanded comments, smirks at tears or grief, delight in your pain. - How to protect: move slowly, keep physical/emotional boundaries early, listen to the Holy Spirit and your discomfort, look for patterns (not isolated incidents), and let time test character. If you stay (Category 2 dynamics) - Goal: not fixing him, but wisely reducing chaos and preserving your well-being and the household's stability. - Tactics: reframe requests in terms of what benefits him; avoid head-on confrontation; build your life outside the relationship (calling, ministry, education, friendships). - Support: grief the loss of the dream; get equipped; find a small, trusted peer group who truly understands narcissistic abuse. If you're considering leaving (especially 3–4) - Safety first: if there's a risk of harm, have a go-bag for you/kids/pets and get out. - Prepare: document everything; expect financial sabotage; avoid using the term “narcissist” in court unless there's a diagnosis. - Kids: courts may be vulnerable to “parental alienation” claims; consider a High-Conflict Divorce Coach to reduce legal costs and navigate strategy. - Church/community: narcissists often “borrow” your credibility and pre-poison relationships. Find a healthy church culture and rebuild wise support. Biblical considerations for divorce - Abuse, abandonment, adultery are valid biblical grounds. With minors, weigh carefully: safety, modeling for children, and the realities of family court. Healing and identity - Post-abuse, identity is almost always impacted. You can be 10 years out and still hear their voice in your head—self-abuse by proxy. - The path: clean up the past (lies, agreements, unresolved pain), rebuild identity in Christ, then step into power and authority with wisdom and boundaries. - Beauty must rise with pain: intentionally add joy, nature, creativity, and community to counterbalance suffering. Church and parenting insights - Teach kids the Word, discernment, and healthy vs. unhealthy relationship dynamics. Christlike love includes boundaries and walking away when necessary. Programs and resources Annette mentioned - Living Well While Staying: coaching for women who choose to remain in Category 2 marriages, focused on reducing chaos and rebuilding a meaningful life. - Cinderella No More Academy: membership community and tools for recovery and growth. - Cinderella Conversations: 4-session discovery series on identifying narcissistic dynamics, tactics, false guilt, and spiritual warfare. - Upcoming book: Cinderella No More: Becoming Ella (target 2026).

Interview for fit. One thing to remember - You didn't cause it, you can't fix it—and this isn't the end. With God, this can be the beginning of a new, stronger chapter. You get to write the next chapters with Him.   PODCAST INTRO: My guest Annette Chesney is a Christian coach, speaker, and seasoned recovery professional  who equips women healing from narcissistic abuse. Narcissistic dynamics can be hard to spot because they often look like ordinary relationship friction at first. Many people struggle to tell the difference between someone who is simply hurting and occasionally hurtful, and someone who persistently harms others without accountability.  One useful way to think about it is as a spectrum: not everyone with difficult traits is a narcissist, and not every narcissistic person behaves the same way. Understanding this range can help you decide what you're seeing—and what to do next. But before you think that keeps you in the dark….Annette has created a spectrum that consists of 4 categories or types of narcissists including 10 different characteristics. What she shares is very interesting and from my experience very accurate.  Annette's work is done both one-on-one and in groups. She talks primarily from a women's point of view with regard to narcissistic abuse but she did say men are subject to women narcs as well.  Annette talks about common red flags and she says pay attention to patterns over time rather than isolated incidents; that wider view tells the truth. Annette even shares about how she coaches women who choose to stay in a challenging relationship…she teaches  “management” strategies that focus less on changing the other person and more on stabilizing her client's environment, protecting her energy, and minimizing chaos. A few of the examples she gave were learning how to reframe requests so they're seen as mutually beneficial, limiting circular arguments, and building a strong support system outside the relationship.  She even touches on the subject for when separation or divorce becomes necessary and minor children are involved. She alerted us to the fact that trauma symptoms, including anxiety and PTSD‑like responses, are not uncommon adding that qualified mental health support and targeted coaching can help you recover clarity and confidence. Even with the reality of living with the effects of narcissistic abuse…the dismantling of who you are, loss of confidence, identity, goals, dreams etc. , Annette says recovery is possible. Many people find that healing involves unpacking earlier hurts, challenging false beliefs, rebuilding identity, and learning durable skills: boundaries, self‑care, emotional regulation, and discernment.  Getting connected with the right help will make all the difference and get you to what she calls…your Kingdom Zone of Impact where you're living with identity and purpose in Christ.  Her parting words were for the listener to remember two things that are worth holding onto: you didn't cause someone else's narcissistic pattern, and you can't fix it for them. What you can do is prioritize safety, educate yourself/get informed, surround yourself with wise support, and invest in your own future. Whether you're staying, preparing to leave, or rebuilding afterward, the next chapters can be healthier—with Christ those next chapters are filled with restoration and redemption, they can bring clarity, strength identity and purpose… and they're yours to discover with the Lover of Your Soul, the One who never abuses you, never fails you, Jesus.

In today's Daily Shift, we're reframing the way we think about boundaries — not as walls, but as acts of care. Many people learned that setting boundaries requires distance, tension, or emotional shutdown. But boundaries don't have to be sharp or defensive to be effective. They can be gentle, clear, and rooted in regulation. This short, grounding episode is a reminder that: Boundaries don't require anger or conflict You can protect your limits without hardening Clarity can exist alongside compassion Setting boundaries is a way of honoring what's sustainable As you move through your day, notice where a gentle boundary might support you — without guilt or over-explanation. This has been today's Daily Shift. Small shifts create big change.

Narcissistic behavior often hides in plain sight, especially in relationships. Recognizing the signs of narcissism before entering a relationship or while you are already in one can be the first step toward protecting your peace of mind.In this episode, Dr. Harold Shinitzky, Psy.D., breaks down the different types of narcissism, how narcissistic traits show up in relationships, and what real support and healing can look like.You'll learn about: • Gaslighting, love bombing, mirroring, and future faking • Put-downs, smear campaigns, and projection • Control, surveillance, and emotional manipulation • What actually motivates change in narcissists • Boundary phrases that shut down manipulation • Resources to help you move forward with clarity and confidenceDr. Shinitzky is a highly sought after presenter nationally and internationally.

This 10-minute episode teaches a single, repeatable decision ritual—Mood, Motive, Priority, Boundary, Next-step—that helps daters reply from clarity instead of impulse. Host Sarah models the internal questions, a silent shortcut for discreet moments, and one full sample reply so listeners can hear the approach in action: for a late-night ambiguous text ("you up?"), a solid response might be, "Hey—I'm off screens for the night. Can we pick this up tomorrow? I'm free Saturday evening." The episode explains the behavioral science behind the ritual (decision fatigue and implementation intentions), offers a week-long micro-experiment to track regret count, clarity of next-steps, and response timing, and gives optional templates and a 30–60s compressed routine for public or neurodivergent-friendly use. Tone stays practical and grounded, with concrete practice so listeners leave ready to try the ritual immediately.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lets-talk-sex--5052038/support.

When family dynamics are painful, confusing, and chronically one-sided, the usual advice ("but it's your parent" / "family is everything" / "just forgive and move on") can make you feel even more trapped. In the season finale of the WANTcast, Dr. Sherrie Campbell — clinical psychologist, author, and TEDx speaker — breaks down what actually separates everyday conflict from emotionally abusive family systems, why "no contact" is often misunderstood, and how to protect your peace without getting sucked back into the old roles. We talk about: What emotional abuse looks like (and what it's not) No contact vs. low contact vs. "cordial contact" What actually qualifies someone as a "toxic family member" The cost of going no contact (and how to prepare for that reality) Boundary-setting tools, plus how to stay present while giving toxic people nothing to hook into How smear campaigns work, and why going no contact can mean losing more relationships than you expected Parenting with toxic grandparents in the mix Rebuilding trust after experiencing family trauma and so, so much more. ***CW: Discuss both of physical and emotional abuse, deep trauma, and sensitive subject matter that might hit close to home if you're a survivor of abuse.

In today's episode of How Long 'Til Bedtime?, Allison dives into one of the trickiest screen-time boundaries parents face: screens in the bedroom. Allison has always held a strong stance—no TVs, tablets, or phones in children's bedrooms—and she's breaking down exactly why this boundary matters, why it's hard, and how to make it stick, even as kids get older. Inside the episode, you'll hear: Why screens in the bedroom can disrupt melatonin, sleep onset, and overall sleep quality How the "one more video" cycle impacts bedtime behavior and makes transitions harder The mental health risks associated with private, unsupervised screen use Why keeping screens in shared spaces protects kids emotionally and socially The simple logistical systems Allison uses in her own home (parental controls, charging stations, and more) What to do if you're starting this boundary late — including the exact script Allison uses when changing screen rules Encouragement for holding firm, even when kids push back Whether you're parenting toddlers, big kids, or middle schoolers, this episode offers practical steps, compassionate support, and a strong reminder that: Screens aren't going anywhere, but bedrooms can—and should—remain a place for rest, calm, and connection.

In this episode of Tabling Thoughts, we explore why setting boundaries can feel so uncomfortable even when we know they're necessary. Have you ever said yes while every part of you was screaming no? Do you catch yourself carrying other people's emotions as if they're your responsibility?

In this Clinician's Corner episode, Clarissa and Molly dive into what they lovingly (and accurately) call the "Hella-Days"—that stretch from early fall through New Year's where routines disappear, food is everywhere, emotions are high, and nervous systems are fried. Together, they unpack why this season is so activating for people with food addiction and nervous system sensitivity, and how to navigate it with values, boundaries, and a whole lot of self-compassion—whether you're surrounded by family or spending the holidays on your own. In This Episode Clarissa & Molly explore: Why the holidays can feel like the "Holiday Hunger Games" and "12 Days of Dysregulation" How the nervous system responds to the build-up from September to New Year's Using values as your North Star for holiday decisions Boundary tools and scripts for parties, family gatherings, and food pushers Why holiday food environments are an "engineered stressor" (hello, peppermint-everything marketing) Strategies for: Going to events without abandoning your recovery Deciding when not to go Coping with loneliness, isolation, and dark evenings Harm reduction during high-exposure events ("good, better, best" thinking) How to re-imagine your holiday story over time instead of chasing perfection Ideas for folks who love the holidays (Clarissmas) and folks who… don't (Molly

The EncroachmentIn last week's episode, The Boundary, we explored what happens when a single man steps too close to the hidden world of Bigfoot.This week, we flip the perspective.“The Encroachment” is a chilling story about what happens when we're the ones crossing the line—pushing deeper into the wilderness, clearing the land, and forcing ancient inhabitants farther and farther back into the shadows.When a new development rises on the edge of a place locals simply called The Big Woods, strange things begin happening:tools vanish… fences splinter… playgrounds collapse… and terrified homeowners start catching glimpses of something huge watching from the treeline.What begins as simple urban expansion turns into a collision of worlds—one fueled by confusion, anger, and a creature trying to understand the destruction of the only home it has ever known.If The Boundary was about protecting a line,this episode is about losing an entire world.Settle in for an eerie, mysterious, and unforgettable chapter of Bigfoot's Wilderness.www.bigfootswilderness.com

Who owns what, where and why? When it comes to property lines, co-ownership and access rights. The answers aren't always clear and that's where the legal drama begins. If you're thinking about entering a partnership and co-owning real estate get ready to agree on everything or pay for court. Join this episode of the Real Estate Roundtable to learn more.

Passive aggression is the emotional sabotage dressed as politeness that is silently draining your team's energy and trust. Tammy J. Bond pulls back the curtain on this pervasive workplace toxicity, revealing that leaders who ignore it aren't keeping the peace—they're preserving the problem. With over 50% of employees reporting being targeted by passive aggression, this episode provides direct, no-fluff strategies for leaders and middle managers to confront this "camouflaged conflict" and restore health to their teams. Key Leadership Insights: The High Cost of Avoidance: Passive aggression is leadership quicksand. Over half your team may be spending mental energy decoding tone and mannerisms instead of focusing on their jobs. The Source of Passive Aggression: It's not about conflict; it's about control. Passive aggressive individuals avoid direct confrontation but use sarcasm, silence, or "forgetfulness" to pull strings and be the master puppeteer. The Leadership Leak: Passive aggression is cowardly communication in leadership's clothing.Ignoring it rewards avoidance and reinforces the toxic pattern. Leaders must stop rescuing people from discomfort and start coaching them through it. Coaching vs. Dictating: Workplace coaching is not the "point, shoot, and tell" style. True coaching is being curious, asking questions, and evoking answers that help people up-level themselves. Directness is Respect: If you are serious about creating a sandbox where adults talk to one another, you must teach the team that healthy directness is respect, not rudeness. Your 3-Step Strategy to Confront Passive Aggression: You don't tiptoe through the tulips; you call the behavior what it is. Name It and Claim It: Do not over-explain or accuse. Simply name the specific behavior you observe and tie it back to a core value. Example: "I'm noticing sarcasm when we talk about deadlines. Help me understand what's really going on, because sarcasm is not one of our espoused values." Model Clarity and Accountability: Use the clear, simple framework of the SBI+E Model (Situation, Behavior, Impact, and Expectation) for a straightforward, behavioral conversation. Set the Boundary and Hold It: The only way to stop the "leak" is to confront it. Document it, discuss it, and model how to clean up the conflict. Strategic Move for Middle Managers (Managing Up): If your leader is the passive-aggressive player, don't accuse them directly. Bring the clarity back to them: Expose the Behavior, Not the Person: Present the situation and the unaligned behavior you've noticed on the team. Ask for Their Strategy: Ask the leader, "How would you go about approaching these behaviors when they have the impact that's causing others to shut down?" Gain the Framework: Let the passive-aggressive leader give you the expectation and solution, then use that framework to present the required behavioral changes. Final Challenge The next time a coworker drops an "I'm just kidding" that lands like a knife, don't laugh it off. Push pause, take a breath, and ask your next best question. Leadership is about keeping everyone accountable.

Send us a textYou don't have “insomnia.”You have too much on your mind, too much on your plate, and a healthcare system that treats your sleep like an optional hobby.In this episode of Ending Physician Overwhelm, we're diving into sleep as a radical act of self-preservation for physicians. This is Week 4 of the 10-Week Recharge Challenge, and we're getting honest about why you're not sleeping—and what you can actually do about it.We'll talk about:

If you've been feeling stretched thin, constantly “on,” or quietly resentful even while doing everything “right”… this episode is going to land.Because here's the truth most high-capacity women were never taught:You can't honor your energy without boundaries — and every time you override your limits, your nervous system pays the price.We're dismantling the modern myth that energy is a mindset problem… and revealing the real reason you feel depleted, overwhelmed, or numb:nervous-system-based boundary collapse.Whether it shows up as people-pleasing, chronic overfunctioning, emotional caretaking, guilt when resting, or simply the inability to say no… your body keeps the score long before you mentally “notice” you're burned out.Inside this conversation, you'll learn:✔️ The neuroscience of energy leaksHow fawning, over-giving, and constant striving keep your body in chronic fight-or-flight — and why shutdown, numbness, and exhaustion often follow.✔️ What boundary collapse really looks like in high-achieving womenThe subtle signs you've normalized (resentment, irritability, over-responsibility, low bandwidth, self-abandonment) — and how your body interprets them as danger cues.✔️ Why your limits aren't flaws — they're design featuresHow honoring your God-given capacity actually expands your ability to show up with clarity, purpose, and peace.✔️ Why honoring your energy is impossible without nervous-system alignmentAnd why no planner, routine, or productivity hack will give you the bandwidth your body doesn't have.- Join the Burnout Recovery Blueprint Waitlist!

Today's conversation features Lionel Moses—family man, veteran of Desert Storm, coach, and author of The Marriage Seed. We dig into relationship mastery across home and work: self-awareness over blame, trust over suspicion, and communication that lands (not just "gets said"). 3 Main Takeaways Start with self. Lasting change begins by checking beliefs, tone, and patterns before judging a partner. Choose trust over suspicion. Misunderstandings shrink when curiosity and clarity lead the interaction. Weed the garden, consistently. Relationships thrive when small problems are pulled early—over and over.     Three Core Topics (with timestamps, explanations, and quotes) Self-Responsibility > Perfection Hunting (05:52–06:39; 11:11–12:14) Timestamp: 05:52 — 06:39 Why it matters: Recognizing that minds change proves self-knowledge evolves. Extending the same grace to a partner transforms conflict from judgment to teamwork. Perfection tests (ROCD, nitpicking) block real connection; openness creates possibility. Notable quote: "If you change your mind, that proves you disagree with your old self… give grace for your partner." (05:52–06:39) Trust Over Suspicion (14:37–15:16; 15:38–16:25) Timestamp: 14:37 — 15:16 Why it matters: Many "communication problems" are interpretation gaps. Filling those gaps with trust, not suspicion, stabilizes connection and keeps dialogue constructive—even after past hurt. Flexing rigid checklists into "openness to possibilities" prevents discarding viable partners for trivial reasons. Notable quote: "When you're trying to establish a relationship, you have to really know how to fill in those gaps of misunderstanding with trust versus suspicion." (14:37–15:16) Tone, Pauses, and the Garden Rule (18:45–20:10; 08:06–08:48; 31:00–31:38; 32:34–32:53) Timestamp: 18:45 — 20:10 Why it matters: Tone is a reflex—and often invisible until heard back. Recording and replaying increases awareness, making it easier to shift delivery. Pair this with the "dung grows things" and "measure twice, cut once" mindset: expect mess, pause before reacting, and remove small weeds quickly to protect what's growing. Notable quotes: • "Most people… don't like their own tone. When they hear it, it annoys them enough to make the change." (19:24–20:08) • "One of the best fertilizers you can have is dung." (08:06–08:48) • "Measure twice, cut once." (31:00–31:38) + "That's a learned behavior." (32:34–32:53)     Extra Gems (fast timestamps) Boundary + buy-in at work: Relationship habits bleed into teams; clarity and care increase performance. (27:09–29:44) Weed therapy: Pull issues up by the roots, repeatedly. (25:52–26:06) Win-win-win frame: Healthy partnerships benefit the two people and the world around them.

There's a moment when "endure it" becomes "end it," not because you stopped believing in God's power to heal, but because refusing to betray your God-given boundaries is how you stop betraying yourself. This week on Win Today, Lysa TerKeurst joins me to confront the realities so many live in silence: when it's biblically wise to end a marriage, how we talk ourselves out of our own boundaries, why loneliness is sometimes God's operating room, and what you must know about narcissistic abuse—gaslighting, trauma bonds, and DARVO—so you can name what's happening and get safe. If you've been praying for clarity while living in chaos, this conversation is a lifeline. Guest Bio Lysa TerKeurst is President and Chief Visionary Officer of Proverbs 31 Ministries and a #1 New York Times bestselling author. Having walked through public heartbreak and private rebuilding, she helps people leave destructive patterns with biblical clarity and practical courage.

Are people in your life crossing your red lines? We'll explore how to set healthy boundaries with love and strength. Dr. Greg and Lisa will help you solve your problems with relevant, relatable and achievable tools and solutions straight from the genius of the Theology of the Body.

Boundary work sounds empowering — and it is — but no one tells you how strange it feels at first. When you begin honoring your limits, your nervous system doesn't throw a party; it throws a fit. In this episode, we unpack why your body equates "familiar" with "safe," even when familiar has meant people-pleasing, over-giving, or pretending you're fine. You'll learn why this discomfort doesn't mean you're doing something wrong — it means you're finally doing something different. We'll also explore the family patterns that made boundaries feel like betrayal, and how learning to stay with that unease is how we begin to rewire safety from the inside out. This conversation isn't about blame — it's about awareness, compassion, and learning to calm your body while you practice a new kind of self-loyalty.   Three Takeaways 1.    The body often mistakes self-abandonment for safety — until we teach it something new. 2.    Boundaries may feel "wrong" at first because they disrupt old emotional rules. 3.    Learning to stay with the discomfort is how real confidence and self-trust begin to grow.   Vulnerability isn't exposure; it's invitation. It's saying, 'This is who I am — can you meet me here?'     Get your FREE Boundaries Ebook here!

#350: Most of us know about vampires - they can't enter your home unless you invite them in. But what's even more fascinating is they don't just ask once. They keep asking, they keep pressing, they keep finding new ways to try to make you say yes. Because they know that most people, if pressed, will eventually cave. The less literal vampires in our everyday lives are the largely loving, well-meaning people who treat your "no, thank you" like a rough draft. They're the ones who ask again and again until your boundaries become a negotiation, and your truth becomes something to overcome with polite social pressure. If you've ever felt guilty for maintaining your boundaries or found yourself saying "yes" just to stop the asking, this episode is for you. Listen in to learn why well-meaning people often ignore our boundaries, how this affects your nervous system, and how to hold a solid "no, thank you" without explanation or justification.

Ever feel stuck managing someone else's emotional chaos when you're just trying to get through the day? This week we're tackling a different kind of relationship: the one between you and your boss. What happens when someone in a professional setting starts treating you like their therapist, and you can't just hit mute, unsubscribe, block and delete and walk away? This week, a listener shares: "My boss talks to me like I'm her best friend…way too much info. Relationship problems, family drama, sometimes mid-meeting she'll start telling a story that's got nothing to do with work. It's super uncomfortable, but I also don't wanna create tension. How do I keep things professional when the person in charge doesn't seem to know where the line is?" In this episode, we talk about why oversharing is a form of emotional manipulation and how to set clear but compassionate boundaries. You'll hear how to redirect without drama, why the post-pandemic return to office made boundaries messier, and how the pattern of stuffing down your feelings at work shows up in your romantic relationships too. What You'll Hear In This Episode: When nice doesn't mean safe Why emotional dumping creates liability not connection Three real ways to redirect oversharing without risking your job Why boundaries make you trustworthy, not cold How stuffing down your feelings at work shows up in your romantic relationships Want to track what's working (and what's not) in your dating life?Download the free Date Tracker at damonahoffman.com/datetracker Got a relationship question?DM @DamonaHoffman on Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook, or leave a voicemail or text at 424-246-6255 Learn more about your ad choices.
