This week, the Twins discuss the power of our words and how our inner dialog shapes our reality... whether we realize it or not. The two flush out the steps we take in-order to observe our thoughts, make space for them without judgement, and ultimately neutralize them by reframing how we speak to ourselves.

The discussion circles around ideas from Abraham Hicks, Erkert Tolle, Ru Paul and even Cher to illustrate the necessity of understanding that every thought we have is a form of energy that directly influences the reality we create. And it all begins with us and our inner world.

Sarah and Dave explore 5 of the most common narcissistic styles including the grandiose, vulnerable or covert, malignant, communal, and self-righteous. Unpacking a bit about each of these discernable characteristics, you might be able to better understand the narcissistic personalities in your life... or yourself.

The Twins wrap up the week's episode with a discussion on why we often overlook the red flags leading to the topic of 'betrayal blindness' and how we over rationalize our feelings and behaviors when we find ourselves in a narcissistic relationship. In understanding potential wounds of shame and guilt we are potentially susceptible too, we can better give ourselves the love and grace we need to break away from these toxic bonds.

This week Dave opens with a message about bringing more empathy and balance to the way we see individuals who display narcissistic behaviors, while reaffirming that we cannot tolerate their toxic behavior. There are two sides to every encounter- and we need to remember that we are not victims and should own our truth in these relationship dynamics. Dave also includes an intimate moment when Sarah catches his self-critical inner voice when he tries to understand why didn't see the red flags earlier on.

Then the Twins pick up the conversation on love bombing (on Trait #4: The Need to Control) as they explore different manipulation tactics narcissists use to dominate and control others. Listen in to hear about the final 4 traits that will always give away a narcissist in your life. Hope you enjoy!
