This episode is from my Tuesday 9/12 live stream. In case you missed it, here it is! In this discussion I went over the problem with using narcissism as a means to figure out an unhealthy relationship.  I also revealed how I have participated in feeding the “narcissist machine” myself until I came to the realization that it didn’t fit my ethics and integrity as a business owner.  Lastly, I discussed how I may not be taking clients much longer. Partly because of the ethical conflict. If you are interested in taking advantage of my current offer good through 9/30/23, check it out ..read more

In this episode full of mania, hysteria, and full-on mental instability -- I read and respond to some of the disagreements I've received from the Internet over the Jonah Hill texts. (Hopefully you caught the sarcasm in that sentence.) I'll discuss (again!) what boundaries are and why the definition of them IS in fact black and white, while the execution of them isn't. These responses also provide excellent examples of how subtle the silencing of victims' voices can be as well as one clear example of gaslighting.
