In this episode, Krista welcomes Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a licensed clinical psychologist famous for her expertise in narcissism. On a mission to educate the masses about this high-conflict personality type, Dr. Ramani hosts the popular Navigating Narcissism podcast and has written several books, including the forthcoming, It’s Not You, available for preorder now. Dr. Ramani unpacks the complexities of dating in a narcissistic world and warns of the biggest red flags to look out for, such as 'approach avoidance' and 'future faking' behaviors. Krista + Dr. Ramani also connect attachment styles to narcissism and explain how to set boundaries around manipulative behavior. Sharing personal stories about her own experiences in narcissistic relationships, Dr. Ramani details the different types of narcissism you might encounter – from grandiose to vulnerable. In the age of social media, narcissism is an epidemic, but Dr. Ramani explains that healing is possible and fulfilling, healthy relationships are waiting on the other side of this work. We also talk about: Creating a compelling dating app profile Recognizing and coping with narcissistic behavior 'Gray rocking' + 'yellow rocking' tactics Narcissistic abuse + exhaustion Moderate narcissism Leaving toxic relationships The history of narcissism The importance of trauma-informed therapy Resources: Preorder Now: It’s Not You: Identifying and Healing from Narcissistic People Website: https://doctor-ramani.com/ Instagram: @doctor.ramani Podcast: Navigating Narcissism Sponsors:Act + Acre | Visit actandacre.com to take the quiz and see which scalp care system is right for you.

You might know Sara Kuburic as the Millennial Therapist on Instagram, where she shares insanely relatable advice about navigating the human experience with her 1.6 million followers. Sara’s new book, It’s On Me, encourages us to get to know ourselves fully and take responsibility for our lives. In this episode, Sara opens up to Krista about her struggles with panic attacks and a dissociation from her body – a deep state of suffering that eventually led her to a life of authenticity. When we ignore the signs our body sends us, we ignore the parts of ourselves that are longing to be seen, nurtured, and healed. Sara talks us through her journey of accepting her highly sensitive nature and beginning to connect the dots between what she was feeling in her body and the parts of her life that required change. She empowers us to tune out the noise of everyday life, tune into our own beings, and ask ourselves, ‘who am I really?’ to find true peace and freedom within. We also talk about: Why searching for purpose can be painful Healing abusive relationships with our bodies Acknowledging your suffering Authenticity vs. self loss The ups and downs of discovering yourself Why self awareness is the ultimate self care  Why we must engage with life fully Resources:  Instagram: @millennial.therapist Website: www.sara-kuburic.com Sponsors:AG1 | Try AG1 and get a FREE 1-year supply of Vitamin D3+K2 AND 5 free AG1 Travel Packs with your first purchase exclusively at drinkAG1.com/ALMOST30.Acorns | Today's episode is sponsored by Acorns!
