Summary

Have you ever wondered if you’re the narcissist in the relationship? If so, this episode will put an end to those thoughts. There are subtle differences between having a narcissistic personality disorder and narcissistic traits, in this episode I’ll explain the behaviours of these two types of people and what actually makes a person a narcissist. I also want to say a quick shout-out to all of you who came to my Unseen Wounds of Women event last week. You all made it such a special event for me, I’m so grateful for all of you.

What you will learn in this episode:

  • Narcissistic traits vs narcissistic personality disorder
  • How to create an environment that will help you heal
  • Why a narcissist will never take ownership and responsibility

It isn’t uncommon for people to mirror the behaviour of a narcissist to soften the abuse, and due to this it’s sometimes hard to see which person is the narcissist at first, but with a little digging, it’s easy to see who the REAL narcissist is. I hope this episode provides you with the tools to find the right people to help you grow and how to let go of the “friends” that are keeping you stuck.

You can probably hear.

I'm a little bit croaky and sexy on the podcast today. And that's because the dreaded sea has finally caught up with me.

And I've been in bed for like four days. And I thought, I cannot not do a podcast. I have been

1:00.8

doing them every Tuesday for sort of two years. And I absolutely refused not to have one out.

1:06.3

And I even thought, do I put another one out here? And I thought, do you know what? We're all family.

You know what? When your family, you see warts and all, right? So apologies that my voice is croaky.

1:28.1

And boy, oh boy, I've literally just got out of bed and I've actually put a little bit of

makeup on. So I didn't scare myself as I looked at myself in the mirror because I always find
