Absolutely blown away
I’ve done a ton of research on narcissism and yet I’ve been completely blown away by this podcast. The compassion, kindness, empathy of the hosts and the content and their feedback on questions from others is nothing short of incredible. I’m only upset I didn’t find it sooner! Ha. Thank you!!!!
