1The majority of my listeners and clients are women. Many people think this is by choice and that I market specifically to women. That’s actually not the case. My theory as to why I have fewer male clients is that men often suffer in silence, especially when they are dealing with a narcissistic spouse or partner. In my opinion, female narcissists can be far more covert and manipulative than male narcissists. Women can be verbally and emotionally abusive to men, but our culture often keeps...

In this episode, I share how this year’s Mother’s Day was heartbreaking, and the lesson I learned in overcoming the pain.

The most common question I get from my clients or readers is, “What if I'm the narcissist?” This is a question wrought with fear. And it often comes from the actual narcissist, accusing you of being a narcissist. If you think you're a narcissist, then that means you are concerned about other people's feelings, as well as questioning your own behavior and taking accountability for it. This is the exact opposite of how a narcissist thinks and operates. Your biggest problem with a na...

Today I’m sharing an unbelievable story about a miracle that happened in my life and its message of forgiveness.

You may have heard of law of attraction principles such as “like attracts like,” or whatever you think, you will get. It’s that simple, right? No, it’s not. Most law of attraction books and teachings skip over something extremely important: how the traumatized brain is in exact conflict of the laws we want to attract. In this episode, I explore how the ego, conscious mind, and subconscious mind coupled with trauma can impact (or even sabotage) the things we want to attract into our live...
Today we are going to talk about the authentic self versus the adapted self and how each type affects the way in which you show up in the world. The authentic self is your innate being, your inner knowing. It encompasses your earliest thoughts, likes and dislikes, your passions, and your capabilities. Think of your authentic self as the way you shine for all to see. The adapted self is the opposite. When your personality begins to develop around the age of four or five, you must l...

You have heard me talk a lot about childhood trauma in previous episodes, and it's something that's near and dear to my heart. It is also...
