Nobody asked for these opinions, which is exactly why Natalie and Angela absolutely had to share them.     In this hilarious episode of Put Your Books Down, the co-hosts unleash their fall 2026 hot takes on everything from overused "narcissist" diagnoses and the obsession with being busy to backing into parking spaces, outrageously loud restaurants, QR-code menus, and the emotional-support water bottle epidemic. They debate whether brunch is overrated, whether everyone who makes one fancy chicken recipe qualifies as a foodie, and why zucchini noodles will never, ever be pasta.     Then things get a little deeper as Natalie and Angela tackle "protect your peace," spiritual bypassing, forgiveness, relationships, and the idea that you don't have to forgive someone just because you want to heal. Of course, there's plenty of pop culture shade along the way—including opinions on Beyoncé, Ryan Reynolds, Leonardo DiCaprio, Keke Palmer, Goodfellas, and more.    

Vinnie claims there's a new trend of men not showering. Sarah is disturbed and reminded of the time she met Lenny Kravitz.

In this debrief episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon Chadwick breaks down the systems of control that kept Bonnie tied to an exploitative abuser. After destroying her financial independence, he repeatedly positioned himself as the person who could provide employment, housing, money, or access to her son. Every form of help carried hidden conditions, allowing him to turn support into debt and demand Bonnie's labor, attention, gratitude, and compliance. This debrief examines the many avenues of financial abuse in Bonnie's story, the use of a child as leverage, and the periods of apparent change that gave Bonnie hope. Brandon also explores how addiction, arrests, housing instability, employment threats, surveillance, and constant emergencies kept Bonnie in survival mode, leaving little space to recognize the larger pattern.

Think of six people you know. Chances are, one of them is a narcissist. Narcissism seems to be a topic on everyone's lips right now. Clinical psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula is one of the world's leading experts on narcissism. Her work has struck a chord with people trying to make sense of relationships with someone who craves attention and admiration and puts themselves at the centre of everything. It's a subject so widely experienced that Dr. Ramani is going on tour, with a live show coming to Auckland in April at the Bruce Mason Center.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Bonnie shares the story of an exploitative narcissist who entered her life as a protector and gained control over everything she needed to survive. He listened to her, made her feel safe, and this was exactly what Bonnie had spent her life searching for. But then, the abuser got her hooked on drugs, and pulled her into a life consumed by addiction and crisis. As Bonnie became more dependent, everything carried a hidden cost. A financial, emotional, or physical debt that needed to be repaid. Access to her son, employment, housing, transportation, and her own body became sources of control. And whenever Bonnie challenged him, he threatened the things she needed most. It's a story of exploitation, coercive control, addiction as leverage, trauma bonding, weaponized help, survival mode, narcissistic abuse, financial abuse, identity theft, sexual coercion, physical intimidation, emotional abuse, child custody coercion, control through children, post-separation abuse, digital surveillance, bodily autonomy violations, threatened intimate-image abuse, employment sabotage, housing control, isolation, gaslighting, smear campaigns, retaliation, fear, confusion, entrapment, shame, self-doubt, self-blame, grief, and despair.

This week we're sharing something special that was previously only available on our Substack page: a chat between Jonathan and filmmaker, Mark Vicente, co-director of the 2004 film “What the Bleep Do We Know!?“, and the NXIVM whistleblower whose testimony helped put Keith Raniere in federal prison.Many teachers have real wisdom and profound opportunities to change. Many are resurfacing hidden ancient knowledge that the world truly needs. And some of the teachers are wolves in sheep's clothing who prey on those who believe there must be more to our often limited experience.If you saw The Vow on HBO, you know one half of Mark's story.Mark was born in South Africa. At nine years old, out in the bush, he heard Zulu drumming and was overcome with emotions in a way he couldn't explain. He wept — hit by a certainty that if everyone else could feel what he was feeling, the country he was born into would change. And the senseless injustice could be stopped.Years later, Mark's film, What the Bleep Do We Know, used the language of quantum physics to argue that the materialist worldview is incomplete. That consciousness participates in reality. That suffering is not only something to endure — it's something we have some say in. Then the wolves came.When What the Bleep was released, the NXIVM cult began profiling Mark. They read his interviews. They studied what he wanted more than anything — to communicate a spiritual truth that could change how people see the world. Then they built a recruitment around that specific longing. He was inside NXIVM for over a decade.His wife realized what was happening before Mark did. She handed him an article listing twenty things a narcissist does in a conversation. He read it, took a scheduled call with Keith Raniere, and ticked them off in his head as they happened live. When he hung up, he knew he would never speak to Raniere again.Mark's new film, The Narcissist's Playbook, is the map he wishes he'd had while under the control of a cult leader. It features self-identified narcissists explaining, on camera, what they do and why they enjoy doing it.Dr. Ramani Durvasula — who appears in the film — estimates roughly one in six adults meets criteria for narcissistic personality traits. Not all of them are dangerous. Some are, and the current consensus among clinicians who study the darkest end of the spectrum is the part spiritually oriented people find hardest to accept: Those brains do not change. Not with love. Not with patience. Not even with the right teacher.If you love someone who is inside a dangerous community and they can't see it, or if you're beginning to wonder whether you are, Mark shares this: The deepest trick of narcissistic abuse isn't the abuse itself. It's that you come to believe you are the cause of every problem.Upgrade your kitchen with Our Place today.

When you are finally divorcing a narcissist, you must accept the harsh reality that they will not change their behavior. Preparation is the only way to safeguard your future. Many people find themselves unprepared for the social fallout that occurs once they initiate an exit. A covert narcissist will often weaponize your mutual connections to maintain control, turning friends and family against you by projecting a carefully crafted image of innocence. Protecting your mental health during this transition requires you to anticipate these tactics before they happen. Escaping narcissistic abuse is rarely simple, but you can build a defense against the manipulation. On September 28, 2026, I am hosting a two-hour live workshop designed to provide you with the practical guidance needed to handle these complex situations. Join us to learn how to prepare for the backlash and reclaim your life.

What happens when you go no contact with a narcissist or toxic ex? In this video, Lee Hammock explains why no contact is a boundary for healing rather than a way to punish someone. Learn about common reactions including denial, anger, accusations, love bombing, hoovering, and panic when they realize they no longer have access to you. Lee also explains why breaking no contact can restart the cycle and make it harder to heal. If unwanted contact escalates into stalking, harassment, or threats, prioritize your safety and seek local support.Book a Coaching Session: [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.me/mentalhealness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]

In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Buttercup shares how the man who once made her feel deeply seen became the person she feared most. Raised by a critical pastor father, she learned to silence herself and earn acceptance while believing marriage was permanent. After a whirlwind romance with a charismatic younger man, his adoration gave way to cheating, humiliation, abandonment, and a home ruled by fear. For 12 years, Buttercup walked on eggshells while protecting her children and trying to win back the man she thought she had married. Behind his beloved public persona were sexual coercion, drug use, violent intimidation, and increasingly dangerous abuse. When Buttercup finally filed for divorce, he launched a smear campaign, abandoned her financially, and threatened to take their son. Her story reveals how empty apologies keep hope alive and how leaving begins with accepting that love cannot make an abuser change. It's a story of codependency, empty apologies, entitlement, gaslighting, physical abuse, sexual coercion, hypocrisy, blaming, nitpicking, projection, coercive control, possession, narcissistic abuse, infidelity, emotional abuse, trauma bonding, intermittent reinforcement, love bombing, walking on eggshells, gaslighting, blame shifting, entitlement, smear campaigns, post-separation abuse, financial abuse, and religious trauma. *** TRIGGER WARNING - This episode has a a graphic description of physical abuse and sexual coercion. *** If you are in search of therapy from professionals dedicated to dealing with TRAUMA - Narcissist Apocalypse recommends REBOUND THERAPY and they can be reached at  hellorebound.com/na Click if you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@pm.me Click on the title to read about Coercive Control as Care: Signs & Patterns Sign up to our Domestic Violence Newsletter  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Narcissism, Cult Recovery, Spiritual Awakening, and DiscernmentMark Vicente is an author, speaker, and award-winning Writer/Director/Producer from Johannesburg, South Africa. Taking his first photograph at age four, he worked his way up through the ranks of the camera department, shooting a number of anti-apartheid films in the 1980s before relocating to Hollywood.Because of the atrocities in his native South Africa, he found himself propelled to question fundamental assumptions at a young age: beliefs about human behavior, morality, cosmology, existentialism and mysticism. Unifying his love of science, philosophy and filmmaking, his dream of creating cinema to inspire and provoke thought emerged with the creation of “What the BLEEP Do We Know?!” Later, deeply moved by the violence consuming Mexico, Mark released “Encender el Corazon,” a film about the kidnapping epidemic there and one community's courage in standing up to the cartels. It was a bittersweet victory. While the film touched many people deeply, it was by association supporting the criminal enterprise NXIVM. Mark made the difficult decision to pull the film from distribution and, with a small band of whistleblowers, exposed NXIVM's criminal behavior, resulting in multiple arrests and prosecutions. This journey is captured in the HBO Documentary Series “The Vow.”He has since developed a passionate interest in exposing the coercive, duplicitous environments of high-control groups. His feature documentary “Narcissists' Playbook,” examining malignant narcissism through self-confessed, self-aware narcissists, juxtaposed with testimony from victims, survivors, scientists, and mental health professionals, has now been released. He is also developing “Inst@Guru,” a series examining the rise of predatory self-help culture in the social media age, centered on Dutch social media guru Bentinho Massaro.Websites:markvicente.comNarcissist's PlaybookBonnie Piesse is an Australian/American actress, singer-songwriter and soul alignment and manifestation coach. She's best known for her roles in Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and was recently seen in My Favorite Girlfriend alongside Tyler Johnson and Michael Nouri. As a singer-songwriter, her music has been featured in film and TV including Miss Arizona, HBO's The Vow (in which she was also a subject), and CW's Life Unexpected. Through her business, Your Quantum Life, Bonnie helps soul-led leaders remember who they really are and step into authentic expression and embodiment.Website: bonniepiesse.com

The Queen Of Gangbangs herself, Ray Ray, joins Sex Party to break down what it actually takes to pull one off — recreationally, on camera, or somewhere in between. She gets into the biggest gangbangs she's done, what people underestimate, how to organize one safely, and what it's like being at the center of all that chaos. We also meet Gangbang Girl, her superhero alter ego complete with a costume and some very specific superpowers.Ray Ray makes no secret of how much she loves cum, calling it her favorite thing in the whole world and saying, “it's my pure existence.” Naturally, that means we get deep into facials, why they turn her on so much, and just how central all of this is to the Ray Ray experience. We also get into her podcast, why she loves what she loves, and every question you'd want to ask someone who has truly earned the title Queen of Gangbangs.

Why Covert Narcissists Are So Hard to Leave A Live Workshop Episode with Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach Have you ever felt emotionally exhausted, confused, and trapped in a relationship that looks "fine" from the outside, but deeply painful behind closed doors?

In this powerful live workshop episode, Lisa A. Romano breaks down the hidden dynamics of covert vulnerable narcissism and why these relationships are often far more psychologically confusing than overt narcissistic relationships. Through deep psychological insight, nervous system awareness, and trauma-informed healing, Lisa explains why codependent people struggle to trust themselves, leave unhealthy relationships, and stop being pulled back into emotional manipulation cycles. This is not about weakness. It is about subconscious conditioning. In This Episode You'll Discover:

Follow Dr. G here: https://www.tiktok.com/@drg.bodylanguage The part Hawk keeps coming back to is why the temperature is rising now. The Save Act has not moved through the Senate. The Supreme Court has not ruled on the executive order aimed at mail voting. The effort to obtain state voter rolls has lost in court repeatedly. The midterms are coming and the numbers are not close. The Iran war has no exit. Canada walked away from a trade deal. That is a lot of corners at once, and Hawk expects the reaction to get sharper, particularly toward reporters. He also walks through why the 25th Amendment is not the remedy people imagine. If a president contests removal, Congress decides, and the threshold is high enough that party loyalty settles it. Go follow Dr. G, tagged in the description.

Ever ignored a gut feeling on a date because you wanted to "give him a chance"? In this episode, I'm sharing a conversation from Breaking Free from Narcissistic Abuse — host Dr. Kerry McAvoy sits down with Dr. Jennie Young, a PhD linguist and creator of the viral Burned Haystack Dating Method, to break down how the words men use in dating profiles and early text messages expose who they really are before you've ever met in person.

In this episode, she shows you how to spot manipulation, love-bombing, and red flags in dating apps and texting before you invest your time and heart. If you're rebuilding trust in your own instincts and want practical tools for reading between the lines in online dating, this episode is for you.

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, including family court.More and more protective parents are telling me that their ex has suddenly started sending perfectly written messages, using AI to draft legal documents, or threatening to subpoena their ChatGPT conversations.It's understandable to feel intimidated.But does AI actually give an abusive person more power?Or is it simply another tool that can be used well—or misused?In this episode, I'm joined by divorce coach and author Rina Rosewell to unpack the growing role of AI in coercive control, post-separation abuse, and family court. We discuss both the opportunities and the limitations of AI, along with practical ways survivors can use it without becoming dependent on it.In this episode, we answer:Should I be worried if my ex suddenly starts using AI to write messages or court documents?Can AI actually help me communicate, organize my case, and reduce the emotional toll of post-separation abuse?What are the limitations of AI, and why shouldn't it replace the support of safe, trusted people in your healing?Whether you're curious about AI, already using it, or feeling anxious because your ex has discovered it, this conversation will help you separate fear from facts and use this technology in ways that support—not replace—your healing.About Rina: Rina Rosewell is a CDC Certified Divorce Coach, High-Conflict Coach, and Amazon bestselling author of AI ARMOR: Your Digital Defense Solution for Coparenting with a Narcissist.

The divorce may be final—or still unfolding—but your mind and body may remain stuck in survival mode. In this episode of We Chat Divorce, Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan welcome back Jackie Miller, certified trauma-informed coach, author, speaker, and host of Out of Crazy Town: Your Guide to Divorcing a Narcissist. Jackie shares insights from her new book, Winning: Rewiring Your Brain and Your Life After Toxic Love, explaining why people leaving toxic or high-conflict relationships often continue to experience fear, rumination, and emotional overwhelm. She also explores how these patterns can affect financial decisions during divorce and make it harder to move forward. The conversation examines the three powerful hooks that can keep someone tethered to an unhealthy relationship: the need for justice, the need for closure, and the need to prove yourself. Jackie shares her own experience spending significant time and money searching for hidden assets—and the important lesson she learned about balancing the pursuit of answers with the cost of remaining emotionally and financially stuck. You'll also learn practical ways to interrupt the cycle, including creating a “rescue thought,” practicing future orientation, and using Jackie's WIN Method: Witness what is happening. Interrupt the spiral. Insert a new script. Jackie explains why writing down your values and creating a clear vision for your future can become your North Star throughout divorce. Karen and Catherine connect this work to financial clarity: when you understand the known facts, you can identify which unknowns truly matter and make more strategic decisions about where to spend your time, energy, and money. In this episode: Why your brain may remain in survival mode after a toxic relationship How rumination can interfere with divorce and financial decisions The connection between emotional recovery and financial recovery Why the pursuit of justice or closure can prolong conflict How “future orientation” can help you move forward The difference between simple tools and easy work How financial clarity supports confident decision-making Why your most painful experiences can eventually become wisdom Financial clarity gives you the facts. A healthier mindset gives you the ability to act on them. Together, they create the foundation for rebuilding your life.

How do you know when someone genuinely loves you versus when they simply want to control you? In this episode of Billion Dollar Babie, Tara and the girls break down the psychology of narcissistic relationships, love bombing, gaslighting, people pleasing, isolation, manipulation, and the early red flags that are often easy to miss. They discuss why narcissists can seem perfect at the beginning, why empathetic people are especially vulnerable to these relationship dynamics, and how control can slowly be disguised as love. The conversation also gets personal as they share experiences of changing themselves for relationships, losing friendships, walking on eggshells, and eventually realizing how much of their identity had disappeared. They also explore love bombing, accountability, healthy boundaries, safe love versus chaotic love, and what it actually takes to break patterns of people pleasing and choose healthier relationships. If you've ever questioned whether someone truly loved you or simply needed you to need them, this conversation is for you.

Diagnosed narcissist Lee Hammock explains why narcissistic, toxic, or abusive partners rarely change, even when they promise therapy, growth, or a fresh start. I break down front-loading and love bombing, why rewarded behavior never stops, and why hoping they'll improve keeps survivors stuck in narcissistic paralysis. I also share my own rock-bottom story and explains why change only happens when someone is internally motivated, not for another person. This video is meant to empower survivors to release false hope and focus on their own healing journey.

Why do narcissists get angry when you move on even if they cheated, left, or appear happy in a new relationship? In this video, Lee Hammock explains how ego, jealousy, control, narcissistic rage, and the need to maintain the upper hand can fuel that reaction. You'll learn why some toxic exes lash out, interfere with new relationships, or suddenly love-bomb a new partner after seeing you happy. This discussion also makes an important distinction: legitimate concerns about a new partner's safety are different from controlling, jealous behavior.
