Episode 102: Why Do I Keep Meeting so Many Narcissists?

If you keep finding yourself meeting narcissist after narcissist, you aren't alone. Emotional manipulators are out there in droves. And the fact that you are starting to see them (and to see problematic behavior for what it is) doesn't mean you are crazy or hypervigilant, it's more a sign that you are starting to see behavior in others clearly--versus seeing them through the lens of how you are. However, the more you examine your vulnerabilities and boundaries, as well as get in tune with yo...

Episode 91: Thoughts on Unconditional Love

In this episode I share some of my thoughts on unconditional love. We can love someone, but if it's coming at the expense of loving ourselves, then it's not unconditional love. We can feel love for a person, no matter how damaged they are, but it's important that we do so from a place that we can remain safe and sane. Unconditional love doesn't mean unconditional allowance of abuse in our lives.    My first book, “Start Here: A Crash Course in Understanding, Navigating, and Healing From ...
