Episode notes

Have you ever looked at a relationship and thought, “Surely this isn’t narcissism, he’s so sensitive”? Or wondered how narcissists can show up NOT as the obvious arrogant bad boys, but as gentle, emotionally tuned ‘soft boys’ who turn your world upside down? Oh, you’re NOT alone.

This episode is packed with the truth bombs you need to spot the real signs of narcissistic partners and understand the psychological traps that keep women stuck, confused, and questioning their reality. I’m joined by THE Dr. Ramani — psychologist, best-selling author, and the ultimate expert on narcissistic relationships.Today, she lays out the new faces of narcissism, teaches us the universal warning sign you can spot, and reveals the insidious behaviors that keep you feeling guilty and stuck. For every woman who feels crazy because “no one else sees it”—this is your permission slip to trust yourself.
