Narcissists spend their life blaming you for the things they did. Let that sink in for a moment. If you've been in a relationship with a narcissist, you get it. It can be personal, professional, family or friend. And it's not until you've cut the cord that you see the manipulative tactics used to keep you small and wondering what's wrong with you. From gaslighting to love bombing and everything in between, you feel like you are stuck, need to change and when you finally wake up, getting out can seem far out of reach. Licensed therapist Vanessa Reiser has been there. And because of my own story of being in the relationship with a narcissist, I gravitated to her message. Let me tell you, she doesn't sugar coat when she shares… or runs. Running is Vanessa's own therapy. And since 2021, she's been hitting the pavement to raise awareness of narcissistic abuse and domestic violence every June. But this isn't just any run. Vanessa takes to the road in a wedding dress. I told you she was different. And this year, it's Connecticut that gets to cheer her on. On this episode of HIListically Speaking, we get the low down of living with a narcissist. But also, a few important facts that every person should know including: The difference between narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder and the red flags to look for. How Vanessa found her way out of the abuse and into the therapy chair supporting others on their journey. And where she learned about narcissism herself. You have to hear it to believe it. Plus, how you can follow or even join Vanessa on her run June 1 and 2 to show your support. Lace up, my friend. It's time to take back control….

You're not broken. Your internal operating system is just running too many programs and that's slowing you down. In a tech savvy world, imagine what would happen if you treated our brain and body like a computer. We spend a lot of time fixing the glitch with tech. Why can't we do it with our trauma and our minds? Dr. Don Wood says that most trauma work is about managing, coping and living with it. But his goal is to fix the glitch that is keeping you stuck in that brain looping pattern. In other words, he's helping you reboot the brain. During our conversation, he shares more about his patented and cutting edge TIPP method that has helped thousands get out of their heads, shift their minds and reach their peak performance. He gets personal about how his work helped saved his daughter's life from iIdiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis (IPH), a rare autoimmune lung disorder. He shares a solution to panic attacks. Including what you can do to stop them before they stop you. Plus, why words matter and are the basis for what he calls the "emotional concussions" in your life.

When I decided to share my story about not having children on Episode 121, I never imagined the amount of feedback I would receive from listeners wanting to share their voices. It was my hope that being vulnerable and creating a safe space would lead to a few shares. Instead, there were many. And this episode belongs to listeners sharing the "why" of being childless or childfree. From fear to freedom, mental health to miscarriages, infertitlity to indecision, and even grief to gratitude…it's all here. And no matter what the why of each person may be, the real lesson lies in community, compassion and a true sense of self. Thank you to all who pressed "record". And to those just tuning in, your support and love doesn't go unnoticed. Together, we're better…no matter what road you take. For we never walk alone.

Addiction can take you down one of two roads. For former teacher Daniel Patterson, he was one of the lucky ones to find the road to recovery. After taking his last drink on January 1, 2015 he made a promise to be better, for himself and others. Now over eight years sober, Daniel is on a mission to create a SoberTunity, an empowering community to connect, create and curate a life beyond booze. But still leave room to have uncomfortable conversations and "land the plane". During the conversation: Daniel opens up about his own recovery journey and how he faced a lot of resistance until he got the right support. He talks about the importance of having humor in the healing…the "traumady" that's necessary to connect. Daniel also gets real about his own suicide attempt and what it means to him to finally share his story. Plus, the importance of normalizing mental health in an effort to empower the next generation.
