Are You in a Toxic Relationship? How to Navigate Narcissism and Addiction

What if the person you love—or even yourself—has been unknowingly caught in patterns of narcissism or addiction? How do you recognize it, and more importantly, how do you take back control?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Drew Pinsky, Rebecca Zung, Najwa Zebian, and Jo Frost to break down some of the most misunderstood dynamics in relationships, parenting, and personal growth. We uncover the real definition of narcissism—why it’s not just about ego but deep emotional wounds—and how it often connects with addiction. Dr. Drew reveals how childhood trauma fuels these behaviors and why so many people fall into destructive patterns without even realizing it. Rebecca Zung shares strategies to negotiate with narcissists, ethically turning their manipulation against them. Najwa Zebian dives into the toxic attraction between narcissists and empaths, and Jo Frost brings it home with parenting wisdom on raising emotionally resilient children in a world full of distractions.

The truth is, whether it’s a personal relationship, a business partner, or even yourself, these behaviors are more common than you think. But you’re not powerless. You CAN break free, reclaim your confidence, and set boundaries that protect your peace.

Key Takeaways:

✅ What narcissism really is—and why it's more about insecurity than arrogance

✅ The dangerous cycle between narcissists and empaths (and how to break it)

✅ How childhood trauma creates patterns of addiction and self-sabotage

✅ The difference between addiction and dependency—and why it matters

✅ How to negotiate with a narcissist and stop feeding their control

✅ The parenting mistakes that lead to entitlement and emotional weakness

✅ Practical ways to rebuild confidence and create a stronger mindset

At the end of the day, it all comes down to self-awareness, boundaries, and action. The people in your life should add to your energy, not drain it. If you're ready to stop playing small and start living on YOUR terms, this episode is for you.
