Episode 11: Midlife, Narcissism, And Taking Back You

Understanding Midlife, Narcissism, and the Journey Back to Yourself

This is a grounded, stigma-free guide to recognizing patterns, reclaiming clarity, and making choices that protect your peace. With Kerry Rasenberger, a life coach who supports women navigating toxic relationships worldwide, we map out tools you can use today. You’ll hear how to gray rock without sounding hostile, set boundaries that endure the pushback, and create response pauses that break urgency conditioning. We get candid about co-parenting with a narcissistic ex—sticking to facts with kids, using neutral channels, and practicing radical awareness instead of bargaining with who you wish they’d be. We also tackle workplace dynamics, from demanding bosses to late-night texts, and how minimal engagement preserves your energy. Healing takes time, especially when old patterns began in childhood. We talk about coming back to yourself through rest, nutrition, movement, journaling, and friendships that reflect your worth. Self-love isn’t a slogan here—it’s a daily practice of choosing your well-being so you can show up steady for the people you love. If your gut says something is off, trust it. Knowledge is empowerment, and small, consistent steps add up to big change. If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs language for what they’re living, and leave a review to help others find it. Your story can be the start of someone else’s clarity.
