When crap hits the fan and it gets hard, what is your go to response? We’ve all responded to hard situations in ways we’re not proud of.
If you carefully look through some of the toughest moments in your life you can see where insecurity took the lead and where anger and the broken 8 year old you showed up too. Luckily, no matter how old (or recent) those situations are, you still get to decide the meaning of it all and even more importantly you get to decide who you are and how you show up in the thick of it.
Cassandra Freeman has been gracing the screen alongside some of the biggest names in Hollywood and is one of the strongest, most confident and vibrant women you’ll ever come across. As an artist, a performer and actress on screen, Cassandra shares with us her best strategies for not allowing hairy situations to get the best of you.
Uncertainty is undoubtedly something you’ll have to deal with in your journey to being the best badass version of yourself. Before you allow insecurities to bring out the worst in you, take notes on how you can use Cassandra’s Reset Practice to take on the day like nothing ever happened.
Cassandra is an actress and writer best known for her role in Inside Man and better known today as Aunt Viv from Bel-Air, the television series remake of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air..
QUOTES:
“If this was a movie, how does she get through this?”
“Reset is a huge part of my life. Reset and let’s pretend like nothing has happened. Nothing bad has happened and begin again.”
“There’s certain ways that you can create survival for yourself in the darkest moments that allow you to disconnect so you can survive.”
“You have to feel the entire emotion and know it’s going to take you somewhere else.”
“Love throws people off when you greet them with love and grace, it shames them.”
“The brain is like Google, if you’re looking for it, it will hand it to you.”
“Rejection is redirection.”
The unknown is usually what keeps people stuck. The unknown is also where people put their past.”

Today’s narrative of the independent, strong, secure, empowered woman says we can do anything we want without a man’s approval. We are not victims or damsels in distress, we are total badasses capable of being CEO of Fortune 500 companies, caring mothers, best friends, truck drivers and construction workers.
With all that we are and all that we do there are still biological differences we may be ignoring in our fight against society’s narrative of oppression.
Is pursuing a man that you’re interested in a defiance of our biological nature or an act of defiance against what men in society say we shouldn’t do?
Pastor RC Blakes is a voice for female empowerment that doesn’t dance around hard conversations and addresses the realities women are struggling with in society. He’s the bestselling author of Queenology, Father-Daughter Talks, Soul-Ties and more. He and his wife, Lisa, also host women's conferences to bring healing and power to women in search of a better version of themselves free of abuse and manipulation.
Today’s conversation brings us some interesting points, some of which may be triggering:
What happens when women pursue men
Why women can’t behave like toxic men without consequences
Instead of looking for a high-value man, seek out what it takes to be a high-value couple with the right person
“Submissive” doesn’t have to be trigger, it can be a clear indication of the man your with
There is a relational rhythm of a healthy masucline-feminine dynamic in high-value relationships that may be a better target to aim at in your next relationship.
QUOTES:
“There’s a price to be paid for a woman who pursues a man.”
“If a woman has to jumpstart a man she will have to keep him motivated in the relationship.”
“If you need to be married or joined to someone, you don’t need to be married or joined to anyone. In other words, if you’re not a fulfilled, healthy and happy individual as a stand alone, you really don’t need to be joined with anyone.”
“When you don’t know your value, people can put you in places that you don’t deserve.”
“No woman should submit to a man that demands submission. If a man has to demand submission he does not deserve it.”
“Just cause a man can afford you doesn’t mean he can value you.”

First dates can be so much fun but we tend to make them way too intense when we start overthinking everything. You’ve got the right outfit, hair and makeup are on point, but when it comes to conversation how deep are you willing to go?
One of the biggest challenges when you start dating is secretly decoding what he meant when he said that? You start conference-calling your closest friends to play detective and decipher his messaging, but why are you not asking him what you really want to know? Why are women so scared of asking the wrong questions and scaring him off too early?
It’s clearly better for us all, emotionally, to find out A.S.A.P is he really into you, does he just want to hook up, or is he really searching for a committed relationship.
Matthew Hussey has been giving women massive truth bombs about men, dating, and how to not be broken hearted for years. His YouTube channel is clearly a fan favorite with close to 3 million subscribers and almost half a BILLION views on his content.
This bite sized nugget is worth replaying and really thinking through before your next date. If you’re already several dates in, this episode is still for you too. Matthew is very clear that you have to stop dismissing and trying to explain away when your partner is saying difficult things for you to hear.
Him: “Not looking for a serious relationship.”
You: “Well, one day he will…”
Stop getting stuck in cycles and start listening and being brave enough to ask the hard questions that really matter to you.
Matthew Hussey has been a guest here on several episodes all binge worthy, and he’s said often, “You can’t scare off the right person for you.” Ask the questions and listen to the answers!

It’s hard enough to leave a bad relationship when you’re not seeing eye to eye or you find out you value different things or your partner has cheated on you. It’s even harder leaving when you’re not sure if you’re the problem and you’re questioning if you’re being dramatic and people around you don’t think you should.
Dr. Ramani, clinical psychologist, and narcissist expert, points out that in narcissistic relationships everyday isn’t a bad day and that can make it really hard for people in relationship with them to realize they are trapped and even harder to feel validated in leaving.
Part of the reason it’s so difficult to thrive in a narcissistic relationship is because there is a splitting of your identity in a way that Dr Ramani describes as “you getting rid of yourself” in exchange for whatever peace you can have. You learn over time how to not anger your partner. You realize that anything good for you sets your partner off and causes arguments and the gaslighting begins to make you believe it’s all your fault.
This episode is for the woman that needs hope and a strategy to survive the narcissistic abuse and thrive even if you have to stay a while longer.
Your reason to stay or leave is not for anyone’s approval or disapproval
You can get your strength and validation elsewhere
You can become narcissist resistant and keep your identity
Reasons for staying are not to be shamed, your reasons to stay may be valid, but know with eyes wide open why you’re staying and how to navigate the turmoil to come out of this okay.
QUOTES:
“The vast majority of narcissistic relationships are not violent and it’s important to make that distinction.”
“The thing to remember that is unique to narcissistic abuse is that everyday isn’t bad.”
“The mistake people make, [...] is they come in and they be themselves. Well if your “self” is at odds with what the narcissist wants, they’re going to shut that down.”
“This idea of the narcissistic person as a simple one dimensional cartoon villain is just not real.”
“Part of radical acceptance is being okay with them being set off.”
“I don’t think we talk enough about how difficult parenting is, and instead we criticize parents all the time or we give them the absolutely most ridiculous advice in the world.”
“When you show me something bad that you can do to me, you’ve now shown me what’s in your behavioral repertoire, and the only absolute in psychology is that past behavior predicts future behavior.”

It’s becoming more and more evident there are a host of things women are dealing with that not only destroy our bodies, but they also destroy our confidence and ability to show up and go as hard as we want.
Dr. Gabrielle Lyons, a functional medicine physician and muscle-centric advocate for metabolic health and longevity, shares startling data that 73% of people are either overweight or obese. If you’re a woman dealing with PCOS, hormonal imbalances, and gut issues, chances are you are absolutely struggling with your weight.
This episode is for you today if you’ve been fixated and obsessing over cutting calories, doing more cardio, and resorting to starving during the day only to binge eat at night. Let's be honest, there’s a bunch of crap being marketed to us and deciphering reliable information from BS myths and none-evidence-based beliefs shared from ulterior motives and political agendas is making a lot of people feel hopeless, overwhelmed and confused. Let’s end that crap right here.
Key areas of re-information we’re focusing on in this episode include:
Cycles of crash dieting are absolutely destroying your health
Move away from the fat phobic model to an empowering muscle centric model
Health at any size is devastating people and is not that same as loving yourself
QUOTES:
“Obesity is a symptom of unhealthy muscle, it is not the focal point of the problem.”
“Saying health at any size is a real thing, I’m not sure where that came from. Health and worth are two different things.”
“High quality protein is animal based protein.”
“Being sedentary and not moving is what I consider to be a sick state.”
“Obesity is definitely one of the leading causes of cancer and death.”

Relationships can be so beautiful and amazing. Two people from totally different lives come together and fall under a spell with each other, and life never felt better.
As you get deeper into the relationship, you learn more about each other and now have to find ways to communicate and understand each other’s values, habits and quirky ways. When love is not enough to sustain a massive collision of values, how do you respond? Is walking away the best option because you don’t agree or see eye to eye?
In this episode, Tom and Lisa take you into the deep end of what it means to “steel man” each other and how to find compromise when there seems to be no room for compromise.. Not surprisingly, at the heart of their advice and wisdom is strong communication with one another. This is what a strong relationship and partnership looks like.
SHOW NOTES:
Perception Matters | Understanding how radically different perceptions can be [1:52]
Collision of Values | Find out if you’re on the same page and what you think the other should be doing [7:17]
Communication | Lisa shares how it always comes back to detailed communication [9:56]
Value System | Know your personal value system and how it feeds into your relationship [13:06]
Steel Man | Understanding your partners position, see and understand at their soul level [16:11]
Compromise | Find the tradeoff after sharing each other’s perspectives for path forward [18:51]
Judged Beliefs | Lisa explains why not to judge a person’s belief as right or wrong [22:19]
Malleable Beliefs | Tom explains how beliefs can be changed when held to your values [22:58]
No Judgement | Lisa on how to effectively approach conflict and express yourself [24:03]
QUOTES:
“...it isn't going to be a straight division of labor. So it's like that we're each carrying a load that we're happy to carry.” Tom Bilyeu [8:38]
“If I've actually asked you to help [...] because I've reached out, but it's not an expectation, I think that's the difference” Lisa Bilyeu [12:43]
“when somebody gives you the keys of the kingdom, they've also given you the way to hurt them” Tom Bilyeu [15:13]
“You have to be able to articulate the other person's position so accurately, that they feel seen, understood, not judged. Because when you steel man it, you're not trying to set them up.” Tom Bilyeu [16:58]
“...there's a lot of power in the being angry about something. Aim it at the behavior and not the person.” Tom Bilyeu [25:11]

The men you attract and find yourself in relationships with reveal more about you, your wounds, your insecurities and the parts of you that need healing and growth. Looking externally for safety, love, and validation is not only an unhealthy way to move through relationships, it’s also a toxic way of living that doesn’t serve your higher purpose and it will never create the peace you’re looking for.
Not every woman has experienced seeing a man completely open, vulnerable, and exposed. Honestly speaking, sadly, not many women are able to deal with the rawness of men’s emotions. Yet, there is something comforting from hearing today’s guest, Lewis Howes, share about the emotional trigger and pain that men go through.
Lewis went from the cheating ladies man, emotionally closed off, and easily triggered insecure jealous partner-type to a man looking forward to marriage in a committed loving relationship that has healed his some serious past traumas and emotional triggers.
Lewis Howes is the bestselling author of the book, The Mask of Masculinity, ultra successful entrepreneur, host of the podcast and YouTube channel, The School of Greatness.
In this conversation with Lisa, Lewis brings up some challenging questions that are worth sitting with and giving some extra time and attention as you either navigate through your current relationship or spend time alone before your next relationship.
Who do you need to be in your relationship? How do you want to show up for yourself in that relationship? How do you expect your partner to show up in the relationship?
Are you looking to your partner to meet your needs, make you happy, and make you feel safe?
Do you expect your partner to walk on eggshells to avoid triggering your insecurities and past traumas?
What vision do you have for your relationship and does it support you living in your purpose and highest self?
Are you gravitating towards relationships because you need and want love from someone to feel whole, validated and accepted?
Check out Lewis Howes latest book, The Greatness Mindset: https://www.amazon.com/Greatness-Mindset-Unlock-Power-Today-ebook/dp/B0B6ML61NP
QUOTES:
“That drive was coming from a wound where I was not willing to accept and fully love who I was and all the things I was ashamed of from the past
“You cannot buy peace, you must be ‘peace’ in all situations and that means standing in the face of people being upset with you constantly for not giving them what they want.”
“A man without a mission is a scary man. A man who is not on his purpose has more potential to be harmful than good.”
“If you don’t accept someone you’re with, don’t be with them, and if they don’t accept you, then why are you guys together?”
“You’ve got to learn certain things without running from them in the face of adversity.”
“I will not allow myself to abandon myself ever again in this relationship or in any relationship.”

Trigger warning to all of you lovely high functioning, independent women here that got your sh*t together. You’re about your business, taking care of home, crushing it in business or your career, and even though relationships aren’t perfect, you’re the one everyone turns to for advice and support to get through their problems.
The problem is.. Are you really sacrificing yourself and your peace being a high functioning codependent person to everyone around you?
It feels good to be the person the people you care about turn to when their life is falling apart. You get validation from it, but you’re also easily over invested in their decisions and their relationships to a flaw.
Terri Cole, the Boundary Boss, is a licensed psychotherapist and female empowerment expert. In 15 minutes she breaks down what codependency looks like for those of us that are high functioning and living the life. If you find yourself constantly saying, “I’ve got it” “I’m good” “I’m fine” you need to take a break right away and listen up!
Plug the codependency holes leaking energy from your life, and change your boundaries by changing the script. Learn that sitting with someone in their pain and mess-ups builds beautiful, healthy, reciprocal relationships that are much better for both of you.
QUOTES:
“If you have a lot of resentment you’re probably dealing with codependency as well.”
“When we’re codependently attached, we’re overly invested to the point where it is disrupting our own internal experience.”
“When you’re overly invested in fixing the lives of others you’re not being independent.”
“We’re doing it all, but at the expense of ourselves, our health, our inner peace, and our joy.”
“It is so much more loving instead of to fix people, to be with people in their pain.”
“Be a good listener, that is love.”

Let’s be honest. There’s a lot of BS we’ve been accepting as the “norm” that we really should be questioning. High stress levels? Of course stress sounds normal, who isn’t stressed and your stress levels are sky high. You’re running around doing everything and trying to be everything for everyone and you're checking social media in between.
Appetite out of control? Why wouldn’t it be? You don’t have time to prioritize sleep, so you’re also tired, and you get insane cravings for all the carbs, the sweet and salty things that betray you later.
Is anyone stopping to think that maybe your hormones are the culprit? When was the last time you heard “hunger hormones” used together?
Dr Amy Shah joined us for the first time to talk about why we’re so “Effing Tired” and how hormones, fasting, and circadian rhythms are different for women. This time Dr Amy is joining us to share about the hunger hormones making you so “Effing Hungry” that increases stress levels, increases overwhelm, and makes adulting in our relationships 10 times harder.
A few ideas Dr Amy Shah shares that will blow your mind:
What you eat changes and controls your mood
Every 10% increase in processed food you eat leads to a 21% jump in depression
Hunger hormones drive you to do the best and worst things for your body
Dr. Amy Shah is a double-board certified medical doctor that specializes in food allergies, hormones and gut health for women. She’s passionate about women’s health and disseminating health information for women to have healthier, happier, fitter lives.

QUOTES:
“I wish more people understood that what you eat influences the gut bacteria, [...] and tells us how to feel, what to crave, what to ask for and what our mood should be.”
“You can actually eat to change your mood.”
“If we don’t know how to control our mood, how to soothe ourselves, how to create a positive dopamine response, we are going to be stuck with the defaults and the defaults that are trying to control our mood want us to be addicted to TikTok, to food, to alcohol…”
“What America has done is make a fiber-less society.”
“Feeding your gut bacteria, keeping them happy, growing more of them, bringing more diversity to it is our way out of this huge epidemic we’ve created for ourselves.”
“What is ultra-processed food? [...] Food that contains ingredients that could never be recreated in a kitchen.”
“For every 10% increased processed food that you have in your diet, there’s a jump of depression by 21%, [...] our grocery stores are 75% ultra-processed.”
“Don’t tell everyone you’re wins because you want to retrain your body to keep yourself motivated for the next step.”
“My biggest goal is to help people out of this horrible place that so many of us are in. Our mental health is suffering.”

Learning how to deal with your family as an adult is an ongoing struggle many of us still haven’t figured out. When unhealthy family dynamics make it difficult to visit your grandparents and the thought of visiting your parents brings on dread and anxiety, there’s definitely issues you’ll want to address.
If you’re finding yourself trapped in a turbulent family relationship you don’t know how to escape, Nedra Glover Tawwab, world renowned clinical psychologist, relationship expert and queen of boundaries, is sharing everything you need to know to set important boundaries, become who you want to be, or cut ties if needed.
Nedra’s latest book, Drama Free, is all about better managing unhealthy relationships and no longer accepting the dysfunction within families that keeps people tied to misery, dishonesty, disrespect and abuse long after they have the power and ability to say enough is enough.
This episode is about:
Breaking up with the dysfunction that started in your childhood
Having the strength to walk away from even your family if needed
Being able to have difficult conversations if you choose
Check out Nedra’s Latest Book, Drama Free: https://www.amazon.com/Drama-Free-Man...
QUOTES:
“Do we need to go to the people who are causing the harm for validation of the harm?”
“I’m loyal to love, I’m not loyal to abuse, I’m not loyal to abandonment…”
“How do you change your role in the relationship when you’re not ready to leave? Because not every relationship is to be discarded.”
“We have to believe in who we’re becoming.”
“People don’t have to be in relationship with you after you’ve offended them.”
“The confidence I have now is practiced.”
“I can live with not knowing, and it’s much harder to live with blaming myself.”
“We have to get into the practice of understanding that our job in this relationship is not to control it, it’s not to change the culture, it is to be in community with people…”
“We have to look at the intensity of our emotions because the intensity tells us there may be some history to what is happening.”
“‘Just how we are’ could be dysfunctional. What's normal doesn’t mean it’s natural, it’s healthy, it’s the way things should be. Normal can be chaos, normal can be a high level of dysfunction.”
“Sometimes with family it’s almost as if there’s an expectation of you lowering your expectations.”
“It’s not about changing everyone else and how they show up with you, it's about changing you and how you show up with them.”

You are 100% capable of leading yourself, being your own boss, and being a successful entrepreneur. It’s not going to happen without fear, anxiety, nerves, and all the negative chatter in your head working overtime to convince you otherwise, and we've got the online marketing expert and multi million dollar entrepreneur and author of Two Weeks Notice, Amy Porterfield, here to break it down for you step by step.
Amy went from corporate girl to million dollar success story that still struggled with doubts and belief that she was enough. In this episode Amy and Lisa are coming for all of your excuses:
The story in your head is just a story, you can totally change it
Trying to feel “safe” will keep you playing “small” but you’ve got BIG dreams
Stop letting people have opinions about how you live your life
Behind your fear is a thought many of us have, ‘what will people think?’ The powerhouse question Amy is asking you to ask yourself here is this, ‘what are you willing to burn down and build back to create the life you absolutely want?’ It may be relationships, toxic dependencies, lack of boundaries, or a miserable nine to five you feel stuck at. How much is your happiness worth? What are you willing to do to build the life you dream of? Permission from others is not needed.

To have children or not to have children is a choice that you as an empowered woman gets to decide for herself. The problem is that it’s hard to distinguish between where you stand on the topic apart from your family and social pressures.
Dr. Shefali is the bestselling author of the book, The Conscious Parent, the book that Oprah herself sends to anyone she knows even considering being a parent. Dr. Shefali’s no holds barred approach to parenting is the thing you need whether you’re leaning towards having kids or trying to steer clear from the conversation for another several years.
This is the episode where Dr. Shefali is debunking myths of motherhood and exposing unrealistic expectations of stepping into or away from your maternal instincts. Your bandwidth and capacity to become a mother, an entrepreneur, a career woman, or stay at home wife doesn’t fall into a group decision, it’s a decision for you alone first, and a conversation with your partner second.
Dr. Shefali reveals what a powerful teacher parenting can be for us as individuals, but she also exposes how giving birth can be psychological death for women that’s a huge impact and traumatic experience in anyone’s relationship.
If you’re on the fence of having children or not wanting to have them, give yourself grace and time to make an accurate assessment of how you really feel about having a child. If your pressure to decide is coming from cultural beliefs, wanting to fit in with your social circle of friends all having children, or you think a child will bring you and your partner closer together, then stop everything and take heed to Dr. Shefali’s fire advice.
Check out her latest book, The Parenting Trap: https://www.amazon.com/Parenting-Map-Step-Step-Parent-Child/dp/0063267950
QUOTES:
“Having children is the biggest libido buster ever.”
“When you really surrender to the hard intense labor that parenting is and stop fighting all the things that you could’ve been, then you actually embrace the journey and you get the jewels of this journey.”
“See the parenting relationship as an opportunity to not just parent the child before you, but the inner child, and that’s what our children teach us.”
“There’s nothing like parenting to bring your value systems as a couple out into the light like never before.”
“Children learn very quickly to give up who it is they authentically are in order to get the crumbs of connection.”
“Part of becoming a conscious parent is to understand that you have to break free from the lies that exist in the matrix.”
“Raise the child before you, not the child of your fantasy.”
“We think we should be raising a happy child, what we don’t realize is that we’re just raising a human, and humans have a lot of moods.”
“Own your limitations and ask for help.”
“Women’s maternal instinct doesn’t all need to come out with a child, so you can express your maternalism in many ways…”
“The greatest obstacle of transformation is our resistance to the new and our deep attachment to what we were.”
“Raising a young child is a masterclass in embracing the unknown, a masterclass in being in the present, a PhD beyond belief of surrendering to the unknown and embracing the havoc, the chaos and staying equanimous…”

When you’ve been hurt by someone you trusted, it feels impossible that you’ll ever let go of the pain and shame around what happened and be able to stand in your power again. The truth is that though you feel like a victim, and you feel taken advantage of, or like you’re completely broken, it is possible to move past this situation and open yourself to love and safety without fear.
Najwa Zebian has joined us on Women of Impact multiple times and each time she’s been able to put words to the pain that has blindsided many women and offer a new perspective through which we can move out of survival mode and truly start healing.
She’s the bestselling author of Welcome Home, Mind Platter, Sparks of Phoenix and so much more. As a woman she’s experienced the difficulties of life, going against culture, and being open and vulnerable with the wrong people.
In this episode, Najwa and Lisa are bringing you a fresh look at setting boundaries. It’s not about keeping people out or giving other people a set of rules to follow, it’s about your personal value and how you see your self-worth. Being a people pleasing woman may have landed you in painful situations, but you can make peace with that version of you and ask yourself the one question that will bring you to tears, healing, and freedom.
QUOTES:
“The number one most important thing about boundaries is not to focus them on others.”
“When you don’t set a boundary and you end up giving too much of yourself you feel resentful towards others and towards yourself.”
“The compromise should never be your authenticity, your true self, or you honoring who you are as a person.”
“Sometimes the kindest thing you can do for someone is to stop giving them your kindness.”
“I’m no longer waiting for someone to come and save me. I’m no longer waiting for someone to come and speak to me the way I know I deserve to be spoken to, [...] now I see that I’m the one responsible for giving myself those things.”
“Make sure that the people you idolize and take advice from that you also give yourself permission to question whether you believe what they’re telling you.”
“The first question you ask yourself is, ‘who are you really?’”
“It’s the people that want to judge. These are the people that can get in the way of our growth…” Lisa Bilyeu

“You’ll never be good enough for the wrong person.” -Stephan Speaks
It’s easy to tell our friends about why the person you're with isn’t making the cut. Your partner has annoying habits, the sex isn’t that great, it’s not as good as it was when you first hooked up, or they stopped doing the things that grabbed your attention at the beginning.
Of all the reasons we can chat over a bottle (or two) of wine about explaining why our relationship isn’t working out, rarely do we reflect on ourselves and how we showed up in that relationship.
Stephan Speaks has been helping women (and men) have more fulfilling relationships with the kind of advice that cuts straight through the B.S. and gets right to the heart of the matter. The 100+ million views on his YouTube channel speaks for itself.
How do you avoid another bad relationship? How do you choose the best partner for you and invest your time wisely to find the right partner for you?
Lisa is digging in and asking all the questions we think about and Stephan is delivering on the hard truths we don’t want to hear, but we need to hear if we’re serious about having a loving, long-term, healthy relationship.
You deserve to thrive in your relationship and that means bringing all of you and the best of you to the table with your partner. Some the hard issues Stephan and Lisa are hitting on include:
Why relationship tricks and hacks don’t build meaningful relationships
Great sex alone is never a valid reason to stay with anyone
Exposing the lies and B.S. we’ve been told are the “norm” for relationships
It’s time to stop compromising and setting yourself up for heartache and start making better decisions to find and create the relationship of your dreams.
QUOTES:
“By holding back you’re essentially giving your partner a free pass to do the same.”
“The same walls that you have up to protect you are the same walls blocking your blessing, [...] Love cannot flow in and out with a wall up, it’s restricting your ability to receive and give it.”
“When there is connection differences can actually compliment each other and find joy in each other.”
“Real love is a two way thing, [...] for you to be able to say you are in love with someone in a romantic sense and they do nothing for you, I think that’s impossible.”
“Anything that is at conflict with you and your spirit we need to address it and we should not accept it.”
“If you’re not able to show up 100% in your relationship, trust and believe that you’re not giving 100% in other areas of your life.”
“A man who really loves a woman wants to make her happy and takes joy in it.”

Knowing the difference between being in a healthy relationship and being in a relationship with someone that has narcissistic traits can save you a world of pain and frustration. One of the worst things that can happen in your relationship is finding out after time invested and even kids being involved that your partner is narcissistic and gaslighting you every chance they get.
Dr. Ramani has been shining the light on the dark side of narcissism for years. The 155M+ views of her channel is very telling that women (and men) are trying to understand and identify narcissism, and figure out how to heal the trauma and emotional damage that comes with being in a relationship with one.
This episode exposes the power play, insecurity, and fragility of the narcissist’s ego. They don’t want to see you out shine, outperform, or surpass them on any level. Setting boundaries and exhibiting strength and power is not something they will tolerate from you.
So what do you do if you find yourself bound and attached to an unhealthy relationship being gaslit in a never ending cycle of narcissistic abuse?
Dr. Ramani’s solution is “Don’t go D.E.E.P. Watch this episode to find out exactly what that means.
QUOTES:
“In a healthy relationship both partners support the success of the other. That’s how we know it’s a healthy relationship.”
“Boundaries are never going to work in a narcissistic relationship because when you set boundaries you are exerting an equal amount of power.”
“Fear is the heart of the narcissistic relationship.”
“Don’t defend, don’t engage, don’t explain, and don’t personalize.”
