Episode notes

If you ever looked at your family, friend group, or workplace and thought, “How am I the ONLY ONE who sees the toxicity?” This second half is for YOU. Let’s talk solutions… how to unmask narcissists, reclaim your sanity, and navigate the fallout when no one else gets it. Dr. Ramani comes in HOT with real-life scripts, strategic boundaries, and deep wisdom for escaping the sticky residue narcissists leave behind.

We get into the six key ways to unmask a narcissist (and why calling them out never works), how NOT to fall for their gaslighting or blame-shifting, and why “no contact” with family isn’t about revenge, it’s about healing. Plus, we play Red Flag/Green Flag with some of the most COMMON dating scenarios.

This episode is your hands-on toolkit for real boundaries, radical self-compassion, and breaking free from those manipulative emotional webs.
