Are you an empath or highly sensitive soul who keeps attracting narcissists or toxic partners? You're not broken. Your nervous system is just finely tuned, and old trauma patterns can make you vulnerable to manipulative dynamics.In this episode, I explain why this happens, how your body senses danger first, why boundaries often feel impossible, and how you can safely break the pattern.In this episode, we explore:1: why attraction is driven by the nervous system2: how trauma bonding forms for empaths3: why insight alone doesn't break the pattern4: how to begin healing without self-blameThis is a gentle, body-informed conversation for sensitive people who are tired of repeating the same relational cycles.

Abby Rose is back — the one your DMs have been screaming for. She may be retired from mainstream, but she's very much still active online, still shooting with her partner, still swapping, still pushing boundaries, and still doing the kind of content that makes people's jaws drop to the floor.We get into an XBIZ Miami moment involving me, Abby, and my now-ex that I'm not touching in this description (you'll understand why), plus Abby's insane, spur-of-the-moment link-up with Adult Legend Gia Derza that turned into a totally out of control bonkers scene. There's also the behind-the-scenes side of the industry — including a performer being rude to her on a major set — and how Abby handles it when someone tries to throw her off her game.And yes… Milk & Cookies means exactly what you think it means. Abby's return to show is a wild one.

All we need is one special person in our life to change our destiny. When Irina mentioned that her grandmother had taught her to sew, I knew there was something very telling about her maternal role models in her life.  Irina introduces us to her mother, Etya and Grandmother Beyla, who was a seamstress. Unfortunately, Etya's father died when she was a young teen in Russia.Etya was born and lived in Russia till the age of 25. She was one of three children, came from a poor family at a time when it was difficult to be successful in Russia. Etya was the kind of child that "always wanted more than what was available," says my guest about her mom.My guest, Irina was born in Russia  and came to America as a Jewish refugee when 2 1/12 years old.  What is it like to grow up with a mother who always thought of herself first?  "She told me I  that I was worthless and stupid all the time" says Lester of her mother.  "I was always in her way and she was always exhausted by me." Irina says she developed survival skills at a very young age.It wasn't until Beyla, Irina's grandmother, insisted on taking her granddaughter to her place of work as a seamstress or to her home, "where she felt safe, loved and cared for and allowed to be a kid," continues Lester. This is when and how Irina's life started to turn around.  I know that there are many children that never get this lifeline through out their life. Irina got lucky but there certainly are many scars that she wears with frustration, hurt  and humility.Previously divorced and a single mom, Irina struggled to care for her young daughter, so she's familiar with what her mother experienced, but it doesn't mean that you have the right to mistreat and/or abuse your child because you are a narcissist. "The local Yarn Store",  in  large part, is due to the influence her grandmother had on my guest's life. Beyla introduced  Irina  to embroidering and hand stitching and so much more.  Irina says, "my grandmother taught me to appreciate the beauty and the creative process and the functionality of the basics of clothing."  Luckily, Irina inherited her grandmother's sewing machine and is now an avid knitter.Hear the full story when you listen to this episode of SHLTMM. https://thelocalyarnstore.com/https://www.facebook.com/The-Local-Yarn-Store-324924261265048     "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Michael McKee allegedly drove 400 miles in the middle of the night carrying a suppressed firearm to murder his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer while their children slept down the hall. Now he sits in an Ohio jail facing four counts of aggravated murder — and based on everything we know about his behavioral patterns, he probably still believes he can beat this case.In this deep-dive opinion piece, I examine the psychology of a man who has demonstrated a lifelong pattern of avoiding accountability. A man who allegedly evaded service on a malpractice lawsuit nine times. A man whose colleague said simply "disappeared" when problems arose. A man who allegedly couldn't let go of a seven-month marriage for eight years — until it allegedly ended in murder.Using the Dark Triad framework that criminologists and forensic psychologists apply to cases like this, I break down how narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy may have shaped McKee's alleged actions and will likely shape his defense. I walk through every legal strategy available to him — attacking forensics, challenging surveillance, mental health defenses, self-defense claims — and explain why each one crashes into the wall of premeditation evidence.The silencer changes everything. You don't buy a suppressor for a spontaneous act.This is the story of a man whose ego allegedly drove him to kill — and whose ego may now prevent him from ever accepting a plea deal that could save him from life without parole. The narcissist's defense isn't really a defense at all. It's a slow-motion self-destruction. #HiddenKillers #MichaelMcKee #TepeMurders #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #TrueCrimePodcast #DarkTriad #NarcissistKiller #ColumbusOhio #DomesticViolenceMurderJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this deeply honest and expansive Episode of the VICTORIOUS YOU Podcast, I am joined by the radiant Ola Skibicka for a powerful conversation about truth, freedom, integrity, and conscious embodiment in this new reality.Sometimes souls recognize each other instantly.When Ola and I first connected, it clicked immediately ~ we discovered our shared love for Botticelli, Rachmaninoff, and so much more, and from that very first moment, a deep resonance was present.Together, we explore what it truly means to become a vessel of truth ~ to integrate all parts of ourselves, to live in Oneness while walking a Planet of Duality, and to embody love, integrity, and conscious creatorship in everyday life. In this Episode we speak about

When love and relationships turn into constant conflict, the problem isn't that you're bad at communicating; it's that you're negotiating without a strategy. In this episode, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby sits down with negotiation expert Rebecca Zung to unpack how communication breaks down in narcissistic relationships and what it really takes to negotiate effectively in a marriage or partnership marked by high conflict. If you've ever found yourself explaining, accommodating, or giving more and more in the hope that things will finally calm down, only to feel resentful or powerless later, this conversation is for you. Rebecca shares why negotiation is not just a legal skill, but a relationship skill and a self-worth skill, especially when you're dealing with someone who is unpredictable, manipulative, or unwilling to meet you halfway. We talk about how to negotiate with a narcissist without losing yourself, including why mindset and preparation matter more than saying the “right” thing in the moment. Rebecca explains how common negotiation tactics like over-giving, people-pleasing, and JADE-ing (justify, argue, defend, explain) quietly undermine your position, and how clarity around your values, boundaries, and walk-away points can change the entire dynamic. You'll also hear practical strategies for staying grounded and strategic in high-conflict relationships, setting boundaries without escalating conflict, and using leverage in ways that protect your energy, your self-respect, and what matters most to you. As you listen, I invite you to reflect on this: Where have you been negotiating against yourself just to keep the peace? And what might shift if you approached these conversations with more clarity, intention, and respect for your own needs? Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why Negotiation Is a Relationship Skill 01:38 Rebecca Zung's Personal Path to Negotiation Expertise 09:31 The First Negotiation Is With Yourself 13:26 Why Mindset Determines Negotiation Outcomes 18:24 Over-Giving, People-Pleasing, and Resentment 28:18 The Five I's of Negotiation Leverage 43:30 Never JADE: How to Stop Giving Away Your Power 46:43 Setting Boundaries in High-Conflict Relationships If this episode resonated, and you're realizing that navigating a high-conflict relationship requires more than just trying harder or explaining yourself better, I want you to know that support is available. I'd love to invite you to schedule a free consultation with my team at Growing Self. This is a private, secure space where you can share what's been happening in your relationship and where you're feeling stuck or drained. You'll answer a few quick questions so we can thoughtfully connect you with the right counselor or coach, someone who understands high-conflict dynamics and can help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-trust. You don't have to keep negotiating without a strategy, and you don't have to do this alone. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby Growing Sel

"My coworker is a narcissist—and so is our boss. What happens when two narcissists have to work together?" This week's Fan Mail question comes from a YouTube listener who writes: "Thank you for all your content! Very helpful. I am curious to know - what tends to happen when 'a narcissist meets a narcissist' - meaning they are introduced to each other, are coworkers or need to cooperate with each other in some way or even end up being partners? Are there any patterns to or are there typical characteristics/outcomes to this dynamic? Might they not be aware that they are both narcissists?" In this episode, Dr. Kerry breaks down what really happens when two highly narcissistic people enter each other's orbit—whether they fast-bond over shared grandiosity, descend into brutal competition for dominance, or manage an ice-cold alliance for mutual benefit. She explains the collusion-to-competition pipeline, why narcissistic couples can look magnetic but feel exhausting, and why most narcissists will never see themselves the way they see each other.

If you're saying “my ex is a narcissist”… listen first.If you've spent more than five minutes on TikTok, Reddit, or Instagram, you've seen it everywhere: “My co-parent is a narcissist.” And we get why that label feels validating. It gives your pain a name.But here's the problem: labels don't carry weight in court — behavior does. And when you lead with a diagnosis you can't prove, you risk looking reactive, emotional, or unreliable in the one place where credibility matters most.In this episode, we're joined by two powerhouse custody attorneys — Kristen Holstrom and Samantha McBride (the Custody Queens) — to explain what actually helps you win: specific facts, consistent documentation, strong boundaries, and a strategy that keeps you from getting pulled into emotional warfare.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy calling your ex a narcissist can backfire legally and emotionallyThe difference between traits vs. a true clinical diagnosis (and why it rarely shows up in court)What judges care about most in custody cases: co-parenting and facilitating the other parent's relationshipHow to build a case using patterns, timelines, and evidenceWhy social media is forever (even if you delete it)How co-parenting apps like OurFamilyWizard can protect you and create documentation“Chess, not checkers”: how to stop reacting and start controlling your side of the streetWhy custody evaluations can go sideways when you show up with labels instead of factsKey Takeaways (AKA: The stuff that saves you money and sanity)1) Labels feel good. Evidence wins cases.Courts don't decide custody based on “he's a narcissist.” They decide based on what happened, how often, and how it impacts the children.2) Your credibility is everything.If you sound like you're diagnosing your ex, you may unintentionally look like the unstable one — especially in high-stakes settings like custody evaluations.3) Social media can cost you custody time and settlement leverage.Posting, reposting, liking, or commenting on “narcissist” content can be used against you. Even deleted posts can come back via screenshots.4) Boundaries are strategy — not weakness.Tools like OurFamilyWizard don't mean you failed. They mean you're building guardrails and a paper trail.5) Power is preparation.When you're organized, strategic, and documenting the right things, you get your power back.Action Steps (Do this after you finish the episode)Drop the label. Keep the facts. Replace “He's a narcissist” with: “He missed 7 pickups in 30 days.”Build a timeline. Dates, times, missed exchanges, late pickups, medical info withheld, school info excluded.

A talk with Jackie Miller, host of the podcast “Out of Crazy Town: Your Guide to Divorcing a Narcissist.” Jackie shares her personal story of escaping a coercively controlling, psychologically abusive marriage—and how that led her to try to help others navigating similar nightmarish situations. We talk about how these relationships evolve from subtle manipulation into abusive domination and control; and we talk about the mind-bending psychology of narcissistic abuse—projection, gaslighting, smear campaigns, and the delusional self-justifications that can make these people nearly impossible to understand. We also talk about why victims often seem “crazy” to outsiders, how abusers weaponize children and the legal system, and why staying calm in the face of harassment can be the most powerful defense.  Learn more about your ad choices.

#femalenarcissist #malignantnarcissist #mothernarcissistA raw and personal channel member story about surviving a malignant narcissist mother and enduring the reality of narcissistic parenting. This powerful story explores emotional abuse, manipulation, gaslighting, psychological control, lack of empathy, and the exhausting cycle of criticism and conditional love common in narcissistic parent relationships. It dives into how these experiences shape self-worth, identity, boundaries, and long-term mental health — often influencing adult life choices such as relationships, career paths, people-pleasing tendencies, perfectionism, difficulty trusting others, fear of conflict, and even patterns of repeating trauma bonds or seeking external validation. The story also highlights the process of recognizing abuse patterns, breaking the cycle, healing from childhood trauma, reclaiming personal autonomy, and making conscious life decisions free from inherited survival adaptations. Honest, insightful, and empowering for anyone who has lived through malignant or maternal narcissistic abuse and is navigating the long road toward recovery and self-healing.https://youtu.be/pRQTmvpenc8• Website & Coaching Enquiries: https:// www.weaponizedlove.com/Coaching & Speaking Engagements:narcscon@gmail.com* Read the Book: Weaponised Love -https://Im.fm/ r3aEwvK• Shop Designs & Technology: https:// www.tracyspence.co.uk• Support the Channel: Donate via PayPal - https:// www.paypal.com/paypalme/narcscon?country.x=.Disclaimer: This content is for educational and informational purposes only.

Understanding narcissism. There is hope. Understanding Narcissism Narcissism is a complex and often misunderstood personality trait. At its core, narcissism isn't about confidence. It's about insecurity disguised as entitlement. This term is frequently misunderstood, leading many to misidentify narcissistic traits as mere self-assurance. In reality, narcissism involves a fragile self-identity, protected through control, blame-shifting, and a lack of empathy. Narcissism exists on a spectrum. relationships more effectively. The Intersection of Narcissism and Anxiety Anxiety often accompanies relationships with narcissists. The confusion and manipulation involved in such relationships can exacerbate anxiety symptoms. Gaslighting, love bombing, and emotional manipulation leave individuals questioning their reality and self-worth. They may feel crazy. This cycle leads to heightened stress levels and can deeply impact emotional health. Many individuals with anxiety have histories of tumultuous relationships or dysfunctional family dynamics. Seeking Hope and Transformation Despite the challenges, there is hope. The path to healing involves finding clarity and re-establishing one's identity independently from the narcissist's influence. This journey can lead to freedom and renewed self-worth. Central to this transformation is understanding one's identity in Christ. Understanding one's identity in Christ and the character of God can offer a secure foundation for healing and overcoming abuse. Christian Faith: A Source of Strength Faith plays a pivotal role in finding hope amid challenges involving narcissism. Christian teachings encourage us to seek God's strength and wisdom in navigating difficult relationships. Relying on prayer and scripture provides clarity and peace. Faith assures us that no experience is wasted. God uses every trial to shape and strengthen us. Empowerment Through Understanding Recognizing narcissistic traits is empowering. It sets the stage for setting boundaries and prioritizing one's emotional health. Understanding narcissism equips individuals to address its challenges. This understanding promotes healthier relationships and personal well-being. It also helps people help others going through an experience with narcissism or covert abuse.

In this episode, we dive deep into the psychological reality of narcissistic abuse recovery and why it takes an average of seven attempts before a survivor leaves for good.

Headline: They don't scream. They don't brag. They just slowly break you down.Most people think they know what a narcissist looks like—someone loud, arrogant, and demanding the spotlight. But as a diagnosed self-aware narcissist, I'm here to tell you that the most dangerous ones are the ones you never see coming.In this Remix episode, we are diving deep into the "Quiet Narcissist." We explore why this type is so effective at keeping you trapped for years, often without you even realizing you're being manipulated. Instead of grandiose displays of power, the quiet narcissist uses silence, "victimhood," and passive-aggressive behavior to maintain total control. If you've ever felt like you were "losing your mind" in a relationship but couldn't point to any "big" blowups, this episode is for you.In this episode, we break down:The "Nice Guy/Girl" Mask: Why their outward humility is their greatest weapon.Passive-Aggressive Warfare: How they use "the cold shoulder" and subtle digs to punish you.The Professional Victim: Why they always make themselves the "underdog" to keep you in a "fixer" role.The Subtle Discard: How they withdraw affection to make you work harder for their approval.The Path to Clarity: How to stop doubting your reality and see the patterns for what they truly are.Stop looking for the "loud" red flags and start paying attention to the silence.Connect with Lee:My Courses: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://courses.mentalhealness.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Healing Support Group: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mentalhealness.thinkific.com/products/communities/thementalhealers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1-on-1 Coaching Calls: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mentalhealness1on1perspective.as.me/schedule/ec588030⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram/TikTok: @mentalhealnesss

Have you been waiting months, or even years, for a simple, genuine apology? As a diagnosed self-aware narcissist, I'm here to tell you why you might be waiting for something that is physically and psychologically impossible for a narcissist to give.In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the "Narcissistic Injury." To you, an apology is a way to heal a wound; to me, an apology is a total surrender of power. I explain why admitting fault feels like a "death of the ego" and why we would rather double down on a blatant lie than offer you the closure you deserve. If you've been struggling with the "Non-Apology" (like "I'm sorry you feel that way"), this episode will help you understand the mechanics of the narc-brain so you can stop seeking validation from the person who hurt you.In this episode, we break down:The Ego Armor: Why saying "I'm sorry" feels like being physically exposed and defeated.The "Winning" Mindset: Why relationships feel like a zero-sum game where an apology equals a "loss."Decoding the Fake Apology: How to recognize blame-shifting, justifications, and "regret" vs. "remorse."Closure Without Them: How to give yourself the apology they never will, so you can finally break the trauma bond.Stop waiting for them to take accountability. Take your power back by understanding their limitations.Connect with Lee:My Courses: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://courses.mentalhealness.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Healing Support Group: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mentalhealness.thinkific.com/products/communities/thementalhealers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠1-on-1 Coaching Calls: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://mentalhealness1on1perspective.as.me/schedule/ec588030⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram/TikTok: @mentalhealnesss
