172. When Narcissists Use Illness to Manipulate: How to Spot It and Protect Your Peace

Hey, Survivor!

Illness is real—but it can also be used for manipulation in narcissistic and toxic relationships. Patterns matter.

In this episode, we’ll explore how some individuals use illness to gain sympathy, avoid accountability, and control others—and how you can recognize red flags and protect your boundaries and peace.

If you’ve ever felt confused or guilty for questioning someone’s illness - inwardly or outright, this episode will help you trust yourself again.

🎧 Listen now and remember: Be kind and care—but stay aware.

Know who you're dealing with. Know who you are.
