Last November, I experienced a devastating friend breakup—a story I wasn't sure I'd ever share here. After finding solace in my favorite podcast, It's Going to Be OK, I opened up to their team.

Then, two other listeners stumbled upon it by happenstance since I’ve recommended the podcast to all of you, a few times. They recognized me in the story and shared how meaningful they found it.

They, too, thought it belonged here.

I knew though, that I couldn't share that episode if I didn't also share my own Mayhem story with you and that's what I am doing here with all of you today.

Narcissists are always going attack. That's what they do. They wouldn't be narcissists if they didn't. You can easily feel like you are being held hostage by their narrative and that there is no "right" answer or "right" response to their nonsense. You'll want responses at the ready and you'll want to neutralize the weapon. Listen in to learn ways of doing both.
