    Life, love, Alopecia, & finding yourself- My beautiful friend Robin

    Today's guest is Robin, my beautiful, brave friend. We discuss life, love, reflection, betrayal, growth, and her battle with Alopecia. We never get to choose how life betrays us, how people fail us, or what the universe will throw at us. While not everything that happens in life is bad, and there is much good to notice, we learn. We choose to heal, we choose to find a counselor or a coach, and we do the work. Even though life can betray us, we often betray ourselves by ignoring our intuition, being a people-pleaser, and not setting boundaries. The great news is we can always unlearn our toxic traits, choose healing, and choose how we respond to what life throws our way. The awakening within ourselves that we experience through healing is painful, messy, sad, angry, and then somewhere it starts to become helpful, empowering, and delicious. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did. Thank you for listening. You can find Robin on Instagram- @rpsully. A spiritual awakening is not usually pleasant. Often it feels like confusion, frustration, anger, sadness, grief, or being “out of place. A spiritual awakening can be an intense time of personal growth. But despite how difficult it may feel, you’re not going crazy; you’re evolving." If you are ready to work on yourself, your healing, or even need to learn more coping skills for resiliency to handle what life may throw at you, please click on my link for scheduling https://linktr.ee/coachbrit.

    NPD recovery with Annalee

    I am happy to introduce my friend Annalee to discuss Narcissistic Abuse Recovery. We share a bit about our own lived experiences and share about our healing. The term narcissist is overly used in today's society. Social media has blown this word up. As discussed in this episode, below is the DSM criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder. My hope is that something resonated with you as you listen. You might be a survivor of this, of other trauma's, and/or know someone who is or was in an abusive relationship. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to others. We are all going through hard times, living with trauma, grief, pain, and so on. If you'd like to follow Annalee, her Instagram and TikTok is @annaleed.wellness. If you are ready to work on yourself, your healing, or even need to learn more coping skills for resiliency to handle what life may throw at you, please click on my link for scheduling https://linktr.ee/coachbrit. Per the DSM, NPD includes: A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and with lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood, as indicated by at least five of the following: Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements, expects to be recognized as superior without actually completing the achievements) Is preoccupied with fantasies of success, power, brilliance, beauty, or perfect love. Believes that they are "special" and can only be understood by or should only associate with other special people (or institutions). Requires excessive admiration. Has a sense of entitlement, such as an unreasonable expectation of favorable treatment or compliance with his or her expectations). Is exploitative and takes advantage of others to achieve their own ends. Lacks empathy and is unwilling to identify with the needs of others. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of them. Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors and attitudes The diagnosis of NPD as other personality disorders requires evaluation of long-term patterns of functioning. One needs to be cautious not to jump to hasty conclusions because NPD can trigger countertransference. A careful evaluation of the different aspects of a person's life and an understanding of the person's childhood development can assist in the evaluation and diagnosis of NPD.
