Albert J. Bernstein's Emotional Vampires

Emotional vampires specialize in sucking up your energy, joy, and inner peace. At their core, emotional vampires are empty, and their self-centered behaviors take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being. Yet with solid awareness and healthy boundaries, you'll be able to spot emotional vampires and keep them from negatively impacting your life. As emotional vampires lack psychological boundaries and emotional intelligence, we'll explore the importance of embracing healthy boundaries and good self-care as you break free from their toxic dynamics.

Are there emotional vampires lurking all around you?  Unfortunately, this isn't a problem you can solve with a garlic necklace or some holy water. An “emotional vampire” (or “energy vampire”) is a very unscientific term for a person who stirs up strong emotional reactions in others — like anger, pity, discomfort, or annoyance. Not only do they not take accountability for this, they seem to feed off of it. They drain your time, energy, and emotional wherewithal, and give you little in exchange.  If a relationship is feeling bad, it could be that you're dealing with one of these exhausting personality types. But sometimes, it's more about the ingredients that you're bringing to the table (or not bringing to the table). Many people need some help telling the difference, and I created this episode about “warding off emotional vampires” to make it a little easier. You'll learn why certain people trigger you (while other people get along with them just fine), and how you can prevent emotional vampires from bleeding you dry.  Happy Halloween,  Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby GrowingSelf.com 

Our BFF, Kara Connolly, joins us once again to talk about her brand new single "Emotional Vampires", Taylor Swift's latest album, and our summer get togethers. 

Michalle Nagel - Halloween makes us think of bloodsuckers and things that go bump in the night. But the truth is vampires are real and many of them are sucking the life out of people you know right now. According to Michelle Nagel, even the most innocuous looking person could be an emotional vampire; it may be someone in your own home, at work or even at the local grocery store—and no strings of garlic, wooden stakes or crosses will work with these soul suckers. Michelle shares with Th e'X' Zone Nation what you can do to protect yourself from emotional vampires, how to protect yourself from these predatory encounters and why it's important that you do so. She's the author of “Suffering is Optional: Step Out of Darkness into the Light.”www.isoulshift.com

Sarah discovers the magical effect Costco blueberry muffins have on her digestive system, much to Brandon's dismay.(Sorry we've been away so long.

This is a real issue with dealing with narcissistic people. They suck your life away from you only leaving you with a wound.

In this episode I interview the Awesome Pi Venus Winslow who has build a coaching business helping people get past their narcissistic parent upbringings.  And also help people deal with a narcissistic partner.  We dive into how she has build that business.  Taking the first steps to start.  And moving past the self limiting beliefs that can come from a narcissistic upbringing.   And of course we get into what it means to be a narcissist.  And how those relationships can affect you.  And yes she may have had to move past her own narcissistic habits herself.  It's a ton of fun and there's a lot to learn.Administrative: (See episode transcript below)WATCH this episode here: Table Rush Talk Show.Find Pi Venus Winslow here: https://fullvenusrising.com/Get her book here: Mother Medusa: Weaving Myth, Ritual and Magic into Healing From a Narcissistic Upbringing.Listen on the go at http://TableRush.net.

And today I'm introduced, I'm here to introduce pi, Venus Winslow, who we can call pi for shorts, and pies. Amazing. So hi helps people you help people get over, or I don't know if over is the right word or sort of work through a narcissistic parent upbringing, a parental upbringing, where there's narcissistic parents are involved. And then, and then you help people deal with narcissistic partners. But your main way to do that, currently is with a six month program that you have, and you do some personal coaching. And you're starting to crush it. That's, that's very exciting. So so there you go, everybody, let's welcome pi. Pi Venus That was a beautiful welcome. Mischa Zvegintzov Yeah, indeed, it's so good to have you here. We were just talking a just a few minutes before we got started here. And so I asked you, I said, Hey, you know, tell me are you? Are you having success? Are you successful at helping people? You know, work through this, these narcissistic relationships, and you said, was awesome. You said, Well, as a matter of fact, I am, you know, I've started to have, if you don't mind me saying, you know, $10,000 $10,000 months, and you were very excited about it, and, and you also said, hey, you know, when I started three years ago, that was my goal, right, just to be able to, to make money. And I'm gonna stop talking here in a second and let you talk. But what I like about the 10,000 a month is that it's a financial metric that we can use to perhaps gauge impact. Yeah, Pi Venus yeah. Yeah, for sure. For sure. So yeah, I mean, when I, when I first started my business, and it's been about three years, I had, I had no idea what I even wanted to do. I just knew I wanted to coach other people, I wanted to inspire other people. But there was a part of me that, you know, like, was like, I don't know how to do that. I've never done that before. But I mean, I do know how to encourage people, right. And I have done that all of my life. And I'm and I'm a connector. I like to connect people to things that I think will help them and I like to cheer people on and I like to help them problem solve. And so, to start my journey, I got to take the really big, scary step, the very big scariest first step ever, especially for Bernie, okay, because I grew up with a, I grew up in a dysfunctional family, I had an alcoholic father, I have a narcissistic mother. And I basically grew up believing that I didn't have value that I didn't matter that nobody cared about me or what I wanted, or what I needed, that I was always doing everything wrong, that I was unlovable that I wasn't smart enough. I like a lot of self limiting beliefs. And this is what happens when you experience long term emotional and psychological abuse as a child growing up into an adult, these these beliefs get deeply entrenched in, in our in our subconscious mind, and they creep into our conscious mind, but we'll dismiss them and say, Well, yeah, I have this problem. But like, it's not important, but it is. Mischa Zvegintzov I ask a question. Yeah. So self limiting beliefs, right. It's, that is easy to throw around. I hear that terminology thrown around all the time. Like, give me some examples, like what were some self limiting beliefs that you had that you grew up with that you had a breakthrough? Am I asking that right? Pi Venus Yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, a lot of the ones that I just listed. I mean, if you if you think about it, if you don't believe that you matter, why would you bother learning how to communicate better with other people if you really believe that? It doesn't matter what I say, nobody's gonna listen to me anyway. You know, so I didn't and I didn't have good role models. I didn't have I didn't have somebody to teach me You know, how to navigate the world, you know, I was I was neglected, I was kind of left to figure it out on my own. And, and I didn't know how to do a lot of things, and I especially didn't know how to manage my emotional well being at all I get I get very overwhelmed. And then I would, you know, it kind of freak out, I do self sabotaging things I would, you know, I wouldn't show up because I was scared or I or I, you know, I'd flake out or I, you know, I, I act out in some way. And so there were a lot of things that I didn't know how to do, which kind of reinforced the negative belief system of like, I'm not good enough, but but I had to, I had to step above that, and get to a place, unfortunately, a rock bottom place in a sense that, that I that I really like I really saw that it was up to me, to change my life, to learn how to be a healthy adult, to learn how to communicate with other people to, to learn how to trust myself, to learn how to trust other people to open my heart, to take risks, and not to be not to give my power away to other people. My value my worthiness not to put that in the hands of other people. But to relate that in my heart. Mischa Zvegintzov Can I ask a question again in that, so when you say, give my power to someone, or you just listed three things you said get my power. And then two other things like can you get a little more granular with that? Like I like the granular ideas, so people can go Oh, yeah, like giving away your power? That's super broad. Like, Pi Venus yeah, give me Yeah, yeah. So. So what that would look like if I think about myself and the things that I would do, it was more important to me that other people approved of me than I was actually approving myself or authentically being myself. So I would want to try to morph into whatever I thought somebody else wanted of me. I wanted to make sure everybody else was happy and okay, at my own expense. And I would self sacrifice. And then I would get resentful, because I wasn't getting what I was needing. And I didn't ask for what I needed. I just expected other people to know, because I had been trained to be so intuitive to try to figure out how to keep my parents happy. And that was the expectation that that's how I operated in my life with everyone. And when other people are just, you know, they're just walking around living their life. And I'm over here, like, I need something. I need something. Why are you guessing what I need? And then I'm not getting it. And then I'm blaming them? I'm blaming them because I'm not getting what I need. Yeah. I'm giving my power to them. My happiness is dependent on them. Yeah, doing something for me. Mischa Zvegintzov Yeah. I think, let let's do this, too. Why don't you tell me what a narcissist is? I think that that's a value right to anybody listening, because then you can people might be able to relate and go, Oh, yeah, maybe my parents are like this. Or maybe they could. I mean, we all have a little bit of self centeredness. But maybe give me a definition of a of a narcissist. Pi Venus Yeah, yeah. Well, narcissism is um, you know, it's, it's a, it's a personality disorder. And it's in the diagnostic manual of mental health diseases. It's, it's, it's really diagnosed by a professional. And so I don't I don't think you know, I don't think walking around in diagnosing people as this is the best idea. But what we can do is we can recognize that it is it's on a spectrum. You know, people are complex, we're all we have all kinds of different parts to us and ways of being depending upon what's going on in our lives. And, you know, a narcissistic person lives their life a certain way all the time, like so most people down here in the normal range. Everybody can be self centered. Everybody can be selfish. Everybody can tell a lie. Anybody could say um, that thing you said happened didn't happen because they're scared or they don't want to admit they were wrong. But narcissistic people live their life and operate that way all the time. It's their personality, it's their personality. And so narcissistic people don't have empathy for others. They don't have empathy or compassion, they can't relate to the pain and suffering of other people. They don't feel a connection. Like some people say their hearts are made a stone, right? They're just, there's no, there's no compassion, there's no empathy there, they will fake it. They will fake it if they need to. But deep down inside, at the end of the day, they don't really feel bad. If they hurt somebody, they don't have remorse. If they hurt someone, they won't make a genuine apology. They'll they'll do the faux apology. I'm so I'm so sorry. You're hurt by that instead of instead of taking responsibility for what actually their part was? Yeah, right. Yeah. So so they won't admit to being wrong. They're very concerned about how other people perceive them. They want to be they want to be smarter, they want to be better looking, they want to be have have more money, you know, they, they they project a persona. And they're very, very attached to that persona. And they get very angry if you expose them. If you expose their flaws, and they want, they want energy from other people, they're kind of like Emotional Vampires. So they want people's attention. They want people's admiration. They want people to admire them and consult them. And, you know, Mischa Zvegintzov I'm like, I'm like looking in the mirror right now. I'm like, oh, but Pi Venus anybody, anybody can want those things. But again, like I'm saying, this is this is their, their mode of operation. They're like this all the time. And so the difference is, is that when they're denied the attention, validation, whatever it is that they're seeking from other people, they will they will become rageful. And they will do things, they will do things to punish that person. Maybe they will start a smear campaign against them, they will send everybody about your deep, dark, dirty secrets, and they won't they will. They'll manipulate and they'll use manipulation and control to they'll say things to get you upset, they figure out what your buttons are they they push your buttons, and then when you react and you respond and you're upset, they're like, why are you so out of control? Look at how out of control she is God, can you believe I have to put up with this. I'm just I'm so worried about this person. They're so emotional, you know, and it's just like, and, and the other people are like, wait a minute, it's like, it can be very confusing to because once once that pattern starts once, like, like the victim starts to question their reality. They're like, they're like, Did that really happen? Did they really say that? Did they really do that? Make maybe I am too sensitive, Am I Am I overreacting and it's like, the narcissist will push boundaries all the time, all the time, they'll see how much more they can get away with how much more they could get away with and, and before you know it, you are in a stew of toxicity. And there's like no escape. Mischa Zvegintzov Just laughing because I can relate. Like, oh my god, I think I was thinking of a girlfriend. Pi Venus I think everybody has this person with this type of person. Mischa Zvegintzov Yeah. Well, I was thinking this is what was interesting. And I actually had this as a question to ask you, but she kind of used this whole narcissist thing as a weapon towards me, she's like, You need to look at this thing about perhaps you're a narcissist. And I'm like, I don't think I am. I think I've got enough self awareness and some empathy and sympathy and, and some emotional maturity. But I was like, it's almost like the narcissist weaponized, the narcissism thing. Like throwing it at me and I'm sitting there thinking, as you tell me that I'm like, wait a minute, you're doing all these? Everything. You're listening out. You're doing to me. Anyway, thank you. Pi Venus Exactly. Thank you. that that's a that's a that's a tool that's another manipulation that they use. They project what they're doing on to another person. They say, so if I'm if I'm in a relationship, I'm the narcissist, I'm cheating on my partner, I'm going to be grilling my partner all the time. I know you're cheating on me, let me like, I need to see your phone, I need to know what you're doing. I need to be tracking you because you're not to be trusted. I saw the way you looked at that person. Meanwhile, I'm the one out there. Like doing all of those things. Yeah, Mischa Zvegintzov that's, that's that was the number one thing she's like, I know you have a sorry ex girlfriend, if you're listening. This is not naming names. But you know who you are getting? What was it? It was there was a lot of this. There was a lot of this, like, Oh, you've got this bevy of other relationships waiting in line. And I'm like, actually, no, I don't. But clearly you do. You know. And I had this, this male mentor friend of mine. And so after we broke up, I was telling them all about this. And he goes, Well, he goes, Well, let me ask you a question. After you guys broke up, did you immediately jump in a relationship with another person? And I was like, No. And he goes, Did you have people waiting in the wings? And I said, No. And he goes, Well, there's your answer. So Right. And I was like, oh, yeah, that's, that was great insight. Anyway, thank you for that. It's just like a great therapy session on. So So what was I going to ask you? You talked about a bottom. So you, you, you, you hit a bottom line was this bottom that you hit Pi Venus the bottom I hit when I realized that my mother was a narcissist. And I didn't, I didn't know I didn't figure it out until I was like 45 years old. Yeah, I know. But here's the good thing. Narcissism is becoming more widely known, like people are talking about it, there's a lot of information there out there about it. And so I think the more people know about it, the more people can like see, like how it plays out, relate to their own experiences. And it's not about walking around in the world being afraid of narcissists. It's about like, what is it in me, that is attracting these people to come into my world, because clearly, you know, anybody, anybody who has self, you know, self love and self respect and self, self awareness and, and security in themselves and trust in themselves. They're going to see through the facade, they're going to, they're going to see the smoke and mirrors, they're gonna recognize the red flags, and they're going to end that relationship as soon as possible with the least amount of damage and not stay in it for years, months, years, decades. Mischa Zvegintzov I dug it on for a year, looking back, like what was it anyway, go on? Hey, let me ask you a question. So you wrote a book, right? We've got a book out there. It's called Mother Medusa and weaving myth, ritual and magic into healing from a narcissistic upbringing. And so there's definite before and afters for you. There's like, oh, my gosh, I'm in a narcissistic upbringing. I've got these 10 these tendencies as a result of that, that are maybe not helping me live that fully actualized life or authentically or wonky emotions? Maybe that's another way to say it, but there's a definite distinct before and after. Right. When I'd be saying that correctly. Yes. Awesome. And so your book gets a little bit into the before and then the after or? Pi Venus Yeah, yeah, that this other book is? Well, it's a story about my journey. And how how I started my journey, the realization I had about my mother connecting a lot of dots, the the grief and the pain of recognizing that I could no longer have a relationship with my mother that it was really that toxic. That that was a kick in the gut. You know, it's like when you're in a when you're in a abusive relationship with a with a intimate partner, everybody's going to jump up and say break up with them. To end the relationship, but what if it's your parent? Yeah, you know, it's, it's a totally different attachment. It's, it's primal, it's biological. And it's, it's not easy to do. And sometimes it needs to be done. Not always, but in my case, it did. And that was, that was a really hard place to be for quite a while, there was a lot of grief and pain to work through, there was a lot of anger, there was a lot of sadness. And through that whole process, there was a lot of fear. Like, can you know, like, like, if I don't have this person in my life, will I be able to like survive? Because that's, that's the way children are wired. It doesn't matter how old you are, there's always a part of you that wants to need your parents. Mischa Zvegintzov Yeah. So what were like before book, or before? And you already touched on it a little bit, but the the mindset, your emotional state, like, before you have the clarity that I've got some work to do to heal through this, these, this narcissistic upbringing? What are like the key? The key? Red flags are I don't know if red flags the right word, but like environmental proof, or I don't know, I don't know, what am I trying to say circumstance and circumstances in your life as a result of, of hanging out in this narcissistic, damaged spot? So are you like frustrated with relationships with men up to this point or your, your you can't find fulfilment at work? Or what like, what are the main I guess triggers? Or am I asking that right, or? Pi Venus Yeah, I think I know what you're asking. I think, what, like what was going on in my life? That was evidence that I wasn't, I wasn't well, yeah. I wasn't well, um, and it's interesting. And I thank you for asking that. Because there's a lot of things that were going on for me that I didn't connect to the trauma that I experienced in my childhood, and we hear about this, but again, I think, I think people who grow up with it being normal, normalize it. Yeah. Like, Oh, yeah. You know, that happened all the time. No big deal. Well, actually, it actually was a big deal. And if you look at your life and the way you've been living it, and are you living the life of your dreams, if you're not, it probably there's probably something there related to that. So, you know, I had I had had a number of dysfunctional love relationships in my life, I recognized you know, I had a, I had an unhealthy attachment to other people, I needed other people to tell me I was okay. I was very codependent. I, I was very, you know, interested and absorbed in other people's lives. Meanwhile, I was disconnected from myself in my own life, I didn't have hobbies, I had the hobbies that, you know, the people that were most important to me had because it was important to them. Like I didn't even have an identity. I was just running around trying to find somebody to love me, because I didn't get that growing up. And it was a deep, deep emotional wound. And that's how I gave my power away. I would say yes, when I met when I really wanted to say no. Mischa Zvegintzov Oh, right. Well, I was gonna say so I think a simple example of that would be like, Hey, let's go to this function. And you're like, Okay, when really maybe you didn't want to go? Or Or yeah, you can even say stand up for yourself perhaps to sometimes or Pi Venus stand up for myself I also I struggled with with drug and alcohol addiction. That was another way that I would hide from my feelings. I bury my pain. I would I like pretty much anything you could get addicted to there were times when I would like over indulge in that. And in those things, like I was a workaholic, I would work all the time so that I didn't even have time to like feel things or even really authentically connect with other people. Because I was just so busy. Mischa Zvegintzov Yeah, I get that. I get that. I have some parallels in my journey, you know? I think like finding that self love of who I am, what do I like, like, and then be willing to be like, This is what I like, and that's okay. And for me, a lot of that shift was, like, for a while, I was like, take me or leave me with his arrogance, right. And then and, and then and then I had to shift from that at some point, right? I had to be like, take me or leave me. Cuz I'm amazing and so are you are you know what I mean verse. I don't know if that resonates at all, but thank you for listening again. So did you have a final failed relationship that shined a spotlight on this where you're like, I just can't live like this anymore. And you stumble across? Like, a mentor or a coach or an angel or, or what? Who's the there's like the melody. What's her name? She? Maybe Yeah, Melody Beatty, or like what? Tell me what what's the what's the part of the story where you're like, Oh, no. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, moment. Yeah. Pi Venus magical moment. Okay. Um, they and thanks for asking. And I love telling the story. And I might get emotional. Like, because it is it is an emotional, it wasn't emotional was a spiritual experience. And I do believe this work is it is spiritual work. Because our we are disconnected spiritually, when we're disconnected from ourselves when we're disconnected from who we are. And so where I was at my life, I, my second marriage was falling apart. I had been sober a year. I no longer resonated with my community, my group of people that I had been had around me for years, you know, um, you know, and so I used to, I used to play drums, I used to be a rock and roll. You know, drummer, I played in several bands, I used cars, I used to book shows, I had a radio show, I was very involved in the local music community, but as many people know, and or can guess if you watch VH one, you know, like, the band always breaks up because of alcohol and drugs stop. And that was just very prevalent. Mischa Zvegintzov In aided us, you just the age one what was right behind the music. Okay, I watched it. Yes. Yeah. But I Pi Venus mean, that was, you know, that was where I was in my life. And so I got sober and independent a year. And I'm like, you know, this just, this doesn't resonate with me anymore. I want better friends, I want a different life. I meant for bigger things I, I want, I want to expand and grow. But I don't even know what that looks like. So I had begun to do a morning ritual meditation, quiet time, reflecting, going going deep within listening, asking myself like, what's the next step? What's the next step? And it wasn't something that I had done ever before. This was a new practice for me. But at some point, I started to hear an answer to some questions. And it was very persistent. And the what it said to me was, it's time to go and face your mother. And I thought, I don't want to do that. Mischa Zvegintzov Anything with that? Pi Venus I don't want to do that. Really? Why really? And I ignored it for a while. And but it was very persistent. So finally I said, Okay, fine, I'll go. I don't know why I don't know what I'm just gonna go because clearly, that's what I'm hearing. I'm going to trust this. And so I went on a visit. And within the first 24 hours, I started seeing her behavior from it from a different perspective from a different lens. And I actually Googled it. At the time, I was like, people who always turn the conversation back to themselves, because I have literally been sitting there listening to her talk about how great she was for 45 minutes. And I was like, Why does she keep doing this? And narcissism came up and then like, I'm like, Oh, look, there's a checklist, check. Check, check, check. And suddenly, it all made sense. It was an it was the biggest aha moment of my life. I was like, Oh my gosh, there's a name for this. I'm not quite lazy. There is a reason why. Every time I spend time with this person, I go into a spin for days or weeks. Pi Venus Yeah. And then and then the next thing I thought the next thing I thought, well, this person raised me, what if what if being raised by this type of person do to me, and I'm like, oh, that's why I have low self esteem. That's why I get in relationships with unhealthy people. That's why I play small and I don't speak up, and I am afraid to speak up, I'm afraid to say what I want, or what I need. That's why I hide I don't I don't, I don't put myself out there. I don't ask for a promotion, I don't go for the new job. I don't think I'm good enough for the better boyfriend or whatever it was, you know, this is why I had trouble with drugs and alcohol my whole life. This is why I feel responsible for other people's feelings. This is why I don't have boundaries. Because this person never allowed me to have boundaries. I was never taught even like, like it wasn't okay to have boundaries. So of course, in my adult life, I don't have boundaries with people. And I'm really wondering, I'm like, Why is everybody walking all over me? It sounds simple. But for somebody, like I said, who's raised that that is normal. It's you don't think about it, you don't recognize it until you recognize it. And once you see it, you can't unsee it. And there's only one thing that can be done. Yeah, you can't change other people, the only thing you can do is change yourself. And so that's what I decided to do. Mischa Zvegintzov Do you remember who were the were the source of the checklist? Pi Venus I don't, but you could Google it right now. Yeah. Like checklist or narcissistic traits, you'll get a whole bunch of them. Yeah. They're all very similar. Mischa Zvegintzov Yeah. So So you have this moment. And your your I liked the accountability, part two that you hinted to, or said it's like, wait a minute, I can't change the other person. I've got to change me. And now I have to take accountability. Because I know, right? If I if I heard you say that, right? You're like the, the veil has been lifted. Ignorance is no longer bliss. Like, wait a minute. Okay, now, now, now something can be done. So that's a that's a cool spot to be, I guess it's sort of painful on one hand, but freeing on the other. By the way, everybody listening and watching Hello, thank you, you can go to full Venus rising.com. And you can see PI's book, Mother Medusa, and she tells more about the story and all that stuff. So go there. And then also, you can always book a call. So if you want to hear more, and this is resonating, and you're like, oh my gosh, I get it, get Yeah, wait a minute.

Right? You're like, wait a minute, aha, it's, I gotta change whatever. And then does there's like this new vision flash in front of you? Or are you like, oh, gosh, I guess I better you know, start trudging along. Does that question make sense? Pi Venus Yeah, yeah, it does the vision, the vision of my future and what my life could be, um, it wasn't actually a vision. It was more like it was like a knowing that that step would come once once I started. So for me where I was at it at that moment was like I said, I was in I was in the shock. I was in the shock of like, oh, my gosh, this was my life. This is my life right now. My life has played out because of everything that happened in my past and what the hell happened? There were there were six years of my childhood I couldn't remember. They were just blocked out so I in there was that green? Fair. So I needed to work through that first, then I needed to learn how to manage my emotional well being. And once I learned how to manage my emotional well being, I was able to start seeing what was possible for my life. And then I made the big step of investing in myself, which was a worthiness block that I, that that was a big thing for me to overcome was to invest in my first coach. And a big chunk of money wasn't big, but for me, it was big money on me because I was worth it. Mischa Zvegintzov Well, I was just gonna say, especially for someone who's not used to investing in themselves like that, I, I remember, I had this moment 567 years ago, by now where, where, you know, there's this idea of investing in yourself, invest in yourself, invest in yourself, or, and then I would also hear, you know, it's like this act of self love. Right? And, and I went to what's called the Hoffman process. Have you heard of the Hoffman process? No, I haven't. It was like 567 $1,000, something like that. But it was an investment in myself. And there was a lot of this, like, it was a lot of this. How to. He knows sort out some of the rough edges of those things. What am I trying to say, doesn't matter. In a that, or excuse me, in a 12 step vernacular, it would be like, six and seven steps like, like, what are, how do we react? Due to the way we were brought up, kind of like what you're talking about? You know, there's like, a lot of a lot of what this focused on was was I'm reacting to circumstances due to do to, like this parental stuff, and not to place judgment on it, but just to be aware of it be like, oh, wait a minute, like, there's this stuff over here, therefore, I'm reacting like this, or not reacting, right? But anyway, I invested in that program, and it was very transformational. And I was like, oh, sort of that light bulb came on, and was like, Oh, that was like, an act of self love investing that money in myself. What you're talking about that? That was the purpose of that. Of that? Thank you. Pi Venus I totally agree. It is it is an act of self love. And, you know, it's like we, we are always, in a sense, investing in ourselves all the time, whether we're consciously choosing how we do that or not, you know, if we're, if we're investing our time, and we're being influenced by by people or circumstances that are not healthy that that is, like that's how, that's how we're being influenced. So we can go through spurts where we're investing in ourselves in a positive way. Or maybe we're even investing in ourselves in a negative way. And, yeah, Mischa Zvegintzov great way to say that, right? Like, how what, like, we're investing in ourselves. And I love that thank you for that we are investing in ourselves, no matter what, is it going to be positive or negative? What what what, what's my choice today in this moment? Yeah, beautiful. What a great way to think about that. You invest in your first coach, who's that? If you don't mind me asking? Pi Venus Well, well, my first coach that I invested in, well, actually, the first program I invested in, was a transformational leadership program, because I knew I knew that was the next step for me because I, I had figured out how to handle my triggers, I figured out how to manage my emotional well being and I'm like, okay, so And I'd had some practice and good, like, proof of concept, so to speak, like, it was evident that I was navigating my world in a better way. And I knew that I needed to be challenged even more. And so I enrolled in a leadership program, which really, like up leveled my personal growth and development like, like rocket, huge, huge and talk about Breaking Through Barriers and limiting beliefs and stories and really, really stepping into my authentic self. Yeah, that that was transformational. And then, you know, I then so I, that's when I started, you know, then I hired a business coach, and you know, and then I started on my way and my goal when I started was I want to, I want to make $10,000 a month. have, like, that's my first big, big goal for my business. But my mission is that I'm helping people change their lives, that they are getting evidence in their lives, that they're doing the same for themselves, managing their emotions, managing their triggers, setting boundaries, getting in touch with themselves, listening to their intuition, trusting themselves, opening their hearts, taking measured risks, and seeing evidence in their lives that they're moving in the direction they want to go. And, and that's happening for my clients. So not only do I know that, you know, from from the financial and accounting aspect that I'm, I'm, I'm successful, because I've reached, you know, my first big milestone, but also, my clients are reaching their milestones Mischa Zvegintzov of it. So we have, and you have a great testimonial here from Kim, who took your program, have a before and after. So it's awesome. You're you're impacting people's lives, you have some financial validation as well, which is amazing. Again, anybody go to full Venus rising.com, the link is in the, in the show notes, click on book a free call, get on the phone with pi, and you'll figure out is it a good fit? Can you help someone get from A to B and, and get breakthrough, some self limiting beliefs, like get a new vision for their life, new new ideas of success and, and self love. And it sounds like all this great stuff. And quick, I want to say as well, on the business side of things. Tell me we've got a three year journey, right? And we've got this arc of entrepreneurship. And what's like your number one, your number one point within your journey where you're like, I can't do this anymore. But then you have the breakthrough to the next level. Does that? Does that? Uh, tell me about that? Pi Venus Yeah, yeah, I would say that that was imposter syndrome. For me, that was, that was probably my biggest breakthrough, along with putting myself out to the world. So starting my journey, you know, like, I wrote my book that was putting my story out there, that was a big scary thing for me. And then, you know, building a website, and you know, and then like, you know, getting my message out to the world and the imposter syndrome, stuff that would come up, like, like, who's gonna want to listen to me? And, you know, and who am I to say that, you know, I'm, I'm here at this place right now, and that I can help other people and who am I to, you know, who am I to get on the phone with somebody and have a conversation, you know, like, figure out like, how I can help them. So the imposter syndrome. And here's, here's where coaching is so valuable, like if you're, if you're starting a business, like find a mentor that has a business who can kind of help you, like, navigate the waters, because I didn't know how to do that. And thank goodness, I hired an amazing coach. And she said to me, she's like, pi, you don't have to have all the answers. You don't have to have it all figured out. She's like, think about it this way. You're a third grader, to the first graders and second graders, you're like, God, like you've got it all. Like they want to learn from you. Yes, you know, and it's like, and next year, you'll be a fourth grader and the next year, you'll be a fifth grader. But right now, you're okay, where you're at right now, you know, enough right now, to help the people who were who were just a little bit behind you. And when she sent that to me, and I thought about that, I'm like, Yeah, I could I could help people where I was a year ago. I know what that's like, I'm still very connected to that. And, you know, I can share with them what I learned and what worked for me and and so that helped me that helped me to get over that. Mischa Zvegintzov Of that. Thank you for that. Your what's your favorite way right now that you you're putting yourself out there or generating leads? I hate to use that term or finding our people that wants your help finding you. Or how are you doing that? What's your favorite way to do that right now? Pi Venus Well, I had been doing. I had been doing my own interview series, and I did three of them. And it was called trusting after trauma, a trusting after trauma online Summit Series, so and I've interviewed over 70 experts on narcissistic abuse and, you know, through collaboration with other people, we all, you know, grew grew our leads and our list together. This year, I'm focused on being featured on 100 podcasts, because I really believe that there's an element of what I do that can apply to so many different areas, it can apply to business, it can apply to personal relationships, it can, it can apply to your own personal journey. Like there's, there's so much of my journey that's interwoven and touches so many other parts of my life. That that there was value there to share. And and if I'm, if I'm speaking to you right now, like, like, I've done what I came to do, like if I even if I just reach one person on your podcast, Nisha, it's like, you know, like, let's have a conversation about where you're at in your life and your journey, what it is that you really want. And, you know, there was a way that I can help you get there. Mischa Zvegintzov Yeah. That's good. Did you email me a one sheet? Do you have a one sheet? I do? I was like, Oh my God, you emailed me a one sheet. being selfish. And I was like, I know, he emailed me something. Anyway. I apologize. Bad hosting. Oh, my gosh, I alright, I had another question for you, thank you for for that. Do you as you're thinking of putting yourself out there onto podcasts, any doubt of like what I'm going to say? Or you're like, let's just throw caution to the wind, or you have that one sheet, which is awesome. I remember seeing it now that was actually very topical. And I'm like, Man, I wish that I had that in front of me. Go ahead and answer that question. Pi Venus Um, so I mean, I I'm happy, you know, I'm happy with going with this specific topic, if that's what people want, you know, want to talk about, but I'm, I'm open that just having conversations with people I really, you know, like, for me, especially now where I'm at, in my entrepreneurial journey, for me, it's not about it's not so much about all of the ways to do business. For me, right now. I'm really feeling that it's about connecting, it's about connecting on a human level, from a heart from a heart centered place. So I'm, I'm open to, to this conversation with you right now you asking me about my journey about narcissism, about my business? I just appreciate the opportunity to connect with you and and then to share. Mischa Zvegintzov Yeah, thank you for that. I know we've we're on a on a time deadline here. So is there something that you were hoping to say or hoping to be asked or a message that you wanted to convey that we didn't cover? Pi Venus Like, yeah, I'm just yeah, just what just came to mind and thinking about your, your audience in the in the people that, that you're, you're out in the world speaking to, if you if you want to start your own business, if you want to be an entrepreneur, if you want to have your own business, if you want to be in charge of, you know, your your life and you know your income and, and get your message and your purpose out to the world. I would say don't, don't let, don't let the lies of the past than what people have told you in the past stop you from following your dreams. Because you can overcome those barriers. And maybe it means working, you know, working with somebody through those things, those obstacles, those challenges that you see as a pattern that keep coming up that keep you stuck, you can work through those and you can you can succeed and I'm living proof of that I never in a million years thought that I would be where I'm at today and it's through this journey of self actualization through entrepreneurialship that I've that I've come here, the work that I've done on myself personal work, but also you know, the journey of being an entrepreneur, which brings up all kinds of stuff that I get to work through and it's it's still bring As up stuff I'm still working through through things that come up. But I have support now I have a new community I have I have people I can reach out to I have connections. And I think, I think that also just probably just ties into like, you know what I was saying before about where I'm at in my business journey right now. I just I want to just connect with more people. Mischa Zvegintzov Yeah. I love that. And sort of let the universe I don't know if provides the right word, but just just like, Yeah, let's put ourselves out there and see the logical step and what connections are made and, and sort of that co creation? Yeah, Pi Venus yeah, trust trusting the process and, and trusting ourselves trusting your intuition. I'm, I'm leaning into trusting myself a whole lot more this year, which is, you know, like, I have not been doing it a whole like a long time. So it's like, it's like, okay, this is my next growth spurt is really leaning in trusting myself. If my, if my inner guidance is saying connection, connection, not busy, busy doing checking off boxes, then that's what it's time to do. Mischa Zvegintzov I love that. Thank you for that. Pi Venus You're welcome. Thank you. Thank you for this beautiful interview. Mischa Zvegintzov Yes, indeed. Hi. Thank you so much for coming. I'm going to do a quick reminder to everybody, full Venus rising.com. You can book a free consultation with PI, to see if you're a good fit for her because she knows how to tell if you are ready to be helped. Yes, yes. Pi Venus Yeah.

The controller, the talker, and the drama queen are on deck for tonight's episode. Think about whether you know anyone like this. Maybe I am the only one who encounters these types of emotional vampires. 0:01 Welcome to part two of Emotional Vampires. Tonight I will discuss the controller, the talker and the drama queen. Dr. Judith Orloff describes number three, the controller as a person who dictates how you are supposed to be and feel. I was in a relationship for six years with a controller. I literally felt like I had a joystick in my back, but there was no joy in this relationship. So, remember the names have changed to protect the guilty and I'm just going to call him Greg. Greg had this charm when I first met him, or let me say when I met his representative. The person he pretended to be was absolutely irresistible. He insisted that we spend so much time together, that I didn't even notice how I was drifting away from my friends and family. He became the center of my universe. And for that, admiration, I received BS in return. Nothing I did was ever right or made sense, in his eyes. When I got off work at 4pm, if I took more than 30 minutes to get home, I was cheating. I was timed when I went to the store, to the gym, or anywhere, he was not with me. I became a prisoner. I constantly felt put down and worthless. Then I thought about something my mom used to say. When you get a belly full you will quit. I removed him from my life. But the hardest part of getting over this was the constant failure tape that would play in my head. Whenever I would make a mistake, his words would invade my mind. 1:54 Number four, the talker. Dr. Orloff says that the talker is interested in one thing, themselves. Blah blah blah is was scrolls through my mind, like the ending credits of a movie when I think about the talker in my life, Naomi. Naomi will start off the conversation asking how I'm doing. I can barely utter fine before the tongue rocket blast off. There is a verbal barrage of the minutiae in Naomi's life tchat is hurled at lightning speed towards me. I live for the moments when they come in pauses and ask if I'm still there. I always say yes, but I'm usually playing dominoes or some other strategy games, just to survive the word vommit. The talker makes me sleepy. If I don't have another activity happening in tandem with the conversation, I'll be snoring in about five minutes into the one-sided conversation. Some people might ask well why even answer the phone, if you know this person is calling? Well I have to chalk it up to my own internal guilt that makes me answer the phone calls. What can I say? Family is family. 3:15 Number five, the drama queen. Dr. Orloff describes the drama queen, as a person who can turn a small incident into off the charts drama. This person for me is Nathan. Nathanmissed his calling and truly should be a screenwriter for a television drama. Nathan has the most unique one up your tragedy ability that I've ever seen in my 54 years of life. If you were scarred because your dog died when you were five, Nathan lost 10 dogs, when he was just one. If you have an unexpected car repair for $200, Nathan has an unexpected auto repair for $2,000. Plus he has a plumbing emergency, and all of his credit cards are maxed out from an unexpected medical emergency. It never ends with Nathan. I have sat on the phone with him, and just opened a bag of chips and found myself all the way at the bottom of the bag by the time we hang up the phone. Then, I am on the search for other CARB laden snacks. 4:30 All in all, I have to say that Dr. Orloff not only described Emotional Vampires accurately, she pinned down the reactions they can inspire in the people they interact with as well. I definitely am working on being more diligent and careful about my exposure to Emotional Vampires. 4:51 Thanks for listening and I hope you will continue to tune in. I'm committed to making quick listen broadcast, because time is...

Have you ever spent time with someone that makes you feel like you are running a marathon during the encounter? You might have been in the presence of an emotional vampire! 0:00 I want to thank you for stopping by my podcast to hear what a woman of a certain age has to say about different aspects of life. One of my favorite shows when I was growing up was called Dark Shadows. I'm dating myself when I say this because it originally air from 1966 to 1971. The star of the show was a vampire, named Barnabas Collins. I have always been fascinated by vampires. I don't really believe in vampires that drain your body of blood, but I do believe they're vampires that can drainyour energy. Tonight's episode is about Emotional Vampires. And let me just state, early on, that vampires can be men or women. You don't have to be in a relationship with the emotional vampire in order to feel their deleterious effects. Coworkers, friends, family, neighbors are all potential Emotional Vampires. These are the people that when your phone rings, you look at the ID, and you honestly know in your gut you are about to be taken for a ride on the struggle bus. 1:10 According to Psychology Today article I read by Dr. Judith Orloff, January 18, 2011 there are five signs that you have encountered an emotional vampire. Do you know the signs?Number one, your eyelids are heavy, and you feel ready for nap. Number two, your mood, takes a nosedive. Number three, you want to have carbs and comfort food, I'm assuming around a whole lot of vampires. Number four, you feel anxious or depressed, or negative. And number five, you feel put down. Dr. Orloff described the five types of Emotional Vampires, Not just the after effects you can feel after you have encountered them. 1:52 I'll provide a quick description from the good doctor and then I will share my correction type, and how that affected me. I will discuss to the types tonight and finish up with the other three next Thursday. The names have been changed to protect the guilty. Type number one, the narcissist, this person is team me. Now I want you to understand that being involved with a narcissist is a zero sum game. Everything is for their benefit, and your detriment is inconsequential to the narcissist. So, I would have to say my first real encounter with a narcissist was a high school friend. I will call her Judy. Judy did me the enormous favor of taking her social security number, and getting a cell phone, apartment and utilities in my name. So if you think Judy had messed up her own name, you should have seen what she did to mine.I didn't even know until I went to apply for a mortgage. The lender looked at me like I had called her mama a bad name. When she started showing me all of the jacked up and derogatory items, I knew exactly who this was from. Judy was the only person I knew that lived in this particular city and state. Fortunately for me, I was able to remove the items since there was no way I could be commuting to an apartment 1100 miles away from my job every day. Confronting Judy was of no use. She lived in a narcissistic bubble that separated her from the accountability of her actions. I was definitely anxious and depressed after dealing with this narcissist. 3:27 Number two, there is the victim. The amazing thing about the victim is how they share a great deal in common with a narcissist, but people rarely connext the two personalities together. I have always said that self pity is the purest form of conceit. The victim is never at fault for the tragic events that occur. The victim is always on the receiving end of malicious acts. Anything can cause problems for the victim, even inanimate objects are not safe. I a light bulb goes out, surely, the bulb was part of some kind of secret conspiracy just hell bent on ruining in the victims' day. I'm not gonna lie here for years I was an official tour guide of the pitiful, Princess cruise. I did not see that I was the common denominator in

Everyone's had a coworker like this: they're nice enough, but they do one thing that is just so annoying, like eating carrots at maximum crunch volume every day of the week, or kicking off their shoes to unveil their smelly feet. However, this episode isn't about those annoying coworkers; instead, we're talking about the truly toxic people that can make work a living hell, and how you can best deal with toxicity in the workplace. First off, Liz and Larry share their experiences dealing with — or, as is often the case, getting away from — overly-aggressive clients and employees. Then we help some listeners! Ryan's boss wields his timecard like a weapon in the office, and his martyrdom complex is wearing thin, while Chuck's coworker steals his ideas while acting like his only friend in the office. And Miranda's dealing with a promotion that wasn't everything her CEO promised.New to I Hate My Boss?
