About this episode

What up homie! Let me tell you how excited I am to share the incredibly powerful two-part episode that exposes even more of the narcissistic tricks and emotionally abusive behavior so that you’ll never question if you’re crazy again!

Dr. Ramani is no stranger to Women of Impact and she’s an absolute powerhouse when it comes to shining the light on narcissistic abuse and behaviors straight out of their playbook. Not only has Dr Ramani been here more times than I can count, she’s delivered levels of insight that has helped millions of people spot it and create their escape strategy to take back their power, every single time. 

Today we’re unmasking the tricks narcissists use to stay in control, and arming all of the ladies watching with the knowledge to recognize B.S. manipulation and control tactics immediately.

*How narcissists use threats, mockery and even the silent treatment to keep you under their control,

*Why a typical narcissistic response to you setting boundaries is more manipulation and a fight for control (Girl! Not only is this exhausting, but it’s even more reason for you to get away),

*Dr Ramani unpacks the unconscious process of narcissistic behavior that makes them unreasonable to stay and deal with. 

*When toxic partners weaponize your shame to maintain control over you, Dr Ramani shares exactly how you should respond)

*Dr Ramani reveals why self-reflection is absolutely critical in breaking free from narcissists,

Whew! Ladies understanding narcissistic behaviors and being able to spot their manipulation tactics may actually save your sanity (or even better, save your life!). I want you to have a little more knowledge, and at least one more tool in your belt to become stronger and more badass.
