Are you swiping right on a predator? Online dating is a narcissist's dream. It allows them to curate a "Perfect Mask" before you ever meet them. As a self-aware narcissist, I'm pulling back the curtain on how we use dating profiles to target empathetic, successful, and high-value people. From the "Nice Guy" bio to the weaponized religious photos, I'm showing you exactly what the "bait" looks like.IN THIS LIVE, WE DISCUSS:The Visual Bait: Why they use gym selfies, "flex" photos, or photos with kids that aren't theirs.The "Nice Guy" Paradox: Why labeling themselves as "God-fearing" or "wholesome" is a major red flag.The Intent Trap: What "Short-term open to long-term" actually means in narcissist-speak.Keywords to Avoid: Why phrases like "drama-free," "soulmate," and "can handle me" are immediate "Swipe Left" warnings.Don't fall for the mask.

Are you spiraling because the narcissist replaced you with someone who feels like a massive "downgrade"?It's not about love; it's about logistics. As a self-aware narcissist, I'm explaining the concept of "Transitional Supply." This is the person we jump to out of pure necessity—because we need a place to stay, money for bills, or simply because we cannot stand to be alone with our own thoughts for five minutes.IN THIS LIVE, WE DISCUSS:The "Band-Aid" Supply: Why we choose someone who isn't our "type" just to fill a void.Convenience Over Connection: How housing, food, and financial stability dictate our next move.The "Palate Cleanser": Why we sometimes choose someone "easier" after a strong partner (Grade A) sets boundaries.The Lifespan of the Transition: Why these relationships usually burn out as soon as the narcissist gets back on their feet.Stop comparing yourself to the person who is just a temporary life raft.Connect with Lee:My Courses: https://courses.mentalhealness.net 1-on-1 Coaching Calls: https://link.me/mentalhealnessAll My Link: https://beacons.page/mentalhealness Follow on Instagram/TikTok: @mentalhealnesssIf this episode helped you gain clarity, please leave a 5-star review on Spotify!

Are you "Grade A Supply" without even knowing it?Most people think narcissists target "broken" people. As a self-aware narcissist, I'm telling you that's a lie. We want the best. We want the person with the biggest heart, the most success, and the most to give. But there is a dark side to being "the best"—to a narcissist, you are a high-value asset that is ultimately replaceable.IN THIS LIVE, WE ARE DISCUSSING:The Anatomy of Grade A Supply: The 4 traits that make you an irresistible target.The "Reflector" Effect: How we use your light to hide our darkness.The Cold Truth on Replaceability: Why we can move on in 24 hours even after you gave us everything.Breaking the Pedestal: How to stop being "supply" and start being a person again.If you've ever felt like you were "special" to them only to be discarded like trash, this Live is for you.Connect with Lee:My Courses: https://courses.mentalhealness.net 1-on-1 Coaching Calls: https://link.me/mentalhealnessAll My Link: https://beacons.page/mentalhealness Follow on Instagram/TikTok: @mentalhealnesssIf this episode helped you gain clarity, please leave a 5-star review on Spotify!

Have you ever discovered a betrayal—infidelity, a lie, or a discard—and suddenly felt a surge of intense desire to be close to the person who hurt you? That isn't love—it's Hysterical Bonding.Hysterical bonding is a biological survival response. When a narcissist pulls away or betrays you, your brain treats the loss of the relationship as a life-or-death threat. This triggers a frantic need to reclaim the bond, often through intense physical intimacy or emotional desperation, just to feel "safe" again.In this video, I'm breaking down this phenomenon from the perspective of a self-aware narcissist. I'm explaining why this response is exactly what a narcissist wants, because it resets the cycle and gives them ultimate control over your panic.IN THIS VIDEO:The Panic Response: Why betrayal leads to an obsession with reconnection.Biological Warfare: How your own hormones (Oxytocin/Dopamine) keep you trapped.The Narcissist's Reset: Why we use your "bonding" to avoid accountability for what we did.Breaking the Cycle: How to recognize the difference between love and trauma-induced panic.Your body is reacting to a threat. Don't let the narcissist convince you that your panic is "passion."Connect with Lee:My Courses: https://courses.mentalhealness.net 1-on-1 Coaching Calls: https://link.me/mentalhealnessAll My Link: https://beacons.page/mentalhealness Follow on Instagram/TikTok: @mentalhealnesssIf this episode helped you gain clarity, please leave a 5-star review on Spotify!

ou finally figured out your partner was a narcissist—and then you looked at your parents. Then your friends. Then your boss.It's called the "Awakening," and it is one of the most overwhelming parts of the healing journey. Once you learn the patterns of narcissistic behavior, you can't "un-see" them. Today, I'm explaining why this happens and why you aren't "crazy" for suddenly seeing these traits in the people you've known your whole life.As a self-aware narcissist, I'm breaking down why we often seek out people who were already "trained" by narcissistic parents or friends to accept our behavior.IN THIS LIVE SESSION:The Blueprint: How growing up with a narcissistic parent prepared you for a narcissistic partner.The Friend Group Cleanup: Why you're suddenly realizing your "closest" friends are actually energy vampires.Frequency Illusion vs. Reality: Is everyone really a narcissist, or did you just finally learn the language?Q&A: Ask me anything about navigating these new realizations without losing your mind.The fog is lifting.

Today, we're discussing beliefs-- where they come from, how to become aware of them, how to change them, and why it even matters! What if the only thing between you and your next level isn't effort, but belief?

In a recent coaching call with Janie, a mother navigating the shift from a professional career as a social worker to a stay-at-home mom, we delved into the deep-seated challenges that accompany such a monumental transition. Janie, like many, found herself yearning for personal connection and a sense of self amid the continuous tasks of motherhood. Throughout our discussion, we addressed practical strategies to help Janie reclaim her identity while embracing her chosen responsibilities as a mother. By exploring pressure-free mindset shifts and grounding habits, Janie is starting to balance self-care with motherhood.

Why a Narcissist's Treatment of You is Actually a Confession
"I wish I would have known."
Revival Mom | Grow Deeper with God, Encourage children in the Lord, Christian Home
Have you ever found yourself wondering, “What's the point?” after praying the same daily prayer for months—or even years—without seeing breakthrough? In this episode, Alyssa Rahn speaks directly to the heart of the woman who is weary, discouraged, and quietly battling doubt. When prayers for your husband, children, marriage, business, or finances seem unanswered, it's easy for doubt—and even resentment—to creep in. You may know God is faithful, yet still feel guilt for questioning whether He's truly working behind the scenes. This episode offers deep biblical encouragement for the moments when faith feels fragile. Using a powerful fitness analogy and Scripture from the Psalms, Alyssa reminds you that doubt doesn't mean you're failing God—it means you're human. You'll hear how even King David wrestled with doubt, despair, and unanswered prayers—and how he chose to return to truth, praise, and remembrance. Alyssa also breaks down how our emotions are not meant to lead us, and how the Holy Spirit helps anchor us in truth when feelings try to take over. This conversation is especially for the woman standing in the gap for her family, navigating unseen spiritual warfare, and learning how to keep praying without losing heart.

There's no way around it — results require discomfort. Fat loss, muscle gain, conditioning, and discipline all come from doing what's uncomfortable consistently. In this episode, I break down why avoiding discomfort keeps people stuck and why embracing it is the only path to real fitness results.
Honesty in fitness isn't toxic — avoiding the truth is. Talking about calories, effort, consistency, and discipline isn't hate, it's reality. In this episode, I break down why honesty in fitness gets labeled toxic and why real results only come from telling the truth.

In this episode, I'm inviting you behind the scenes for a real, unfiltered sneak peek into a live coaching call inside The Revenue Accelerator. No polish, no edits—just me meeting my clients where they are and naming the patterns I see show up again and again for smart, seasoned women when it comes to selling, launching, and leading with clarity. I break down why webinars, masterclasses, and trainings aren't meant to convince or overteach, but to help your audience make a clean, safe decision—and how trying to prove your depth often creates resistance instead of conversion. I also share why simplicity doesn't mean shallow, why intrigue opens the door but clarity closes the gap, and how your brilliance actually lands more powerfully when the structure underneath it is clean and grounded. This episode isn't about more tactics—it's about unlearning outdated models, trusting yourself at a higher level, and learning how to lead people to a clear yes without force, pressure, or over-explaining. If you've ever felt like your nuance makes things harder instead of easier, this conversation will help everything click. Liked this episode?

So I have to lower resistance, I have to reframe fear, and I have to make sure that the path that I am showing them is available to them, feels safer than staying where they are.” - Julie Solomon “ If you notice yourself second guessing , or adding more, or wanting to explain more, that's not a flaw. It's so common. But it's also a signal that you're having to unlearn an old model to step into a more precise one. And that's exactly the work that we're doing here.” - Julie Solomon RESOURCES:

Nancy never thought of herself as a runner. She was the kid who hated playing outside, grew up believing only “people chased by bears” ran, and spent most of her adult life focused on raising six kids. Running didn't enter her life until her late 30s, when life got heavy and she started running down the country roads near her home just to clear her head. What began as a mental reset slowly turned into half marathons, lessons learned the hard way about fueling and hydration, and a growing belief that maybe the full marathon wasn't as impossible as she once thought.In this episode, Nancy walks through her path from seven half marathons to the start line of her first full marathon at Richmond, training as a busy mom, navigating doubt, leaning on community, and learning to let go of pace goals in favor of gratitude. It's a story about starting later, doing the work anyway, and proving to yourself that you're capable of more than you ever imagined.Follow along with Nancy at @pauleyontherun on Instagram!
