My mum is a narcissist - Talking Narciss...

BRITTANY HOCKLEY AND LAURA BYRNE
About this episode

Hey Lifers!
Today's episode is part 2 of diving into narcissism. You can listen to part 1 on narcissists in romantic relationships here!

Now we are taking a deep dive on having a narcissistic parent and how to navigate co-parenting with a narcissist.
Firstly we are joined by Monique. Monique and her siblings grew up with a mum who was the most noticeable person in the room. She was generous, she was incredibly beautiful and she was also a narcissist. We speak to her about how her and her siblings felt about themselves growing up, her mum's manipulative behaviour & subsequent affair and how she went about actually cutting her mum off for good.
We often hear the phrase 'blood is thicker than water," but for Monique, her life has been a lot happier since severing that relationship.

Then we are joined by Nova Gibson. Nova is an expert on narcissistic abuse, the founder of Brighter Outlook Narcissistic Abuse Counselling Service, and the author of "Fake Love." 

Nova speaks with clients every day who experience narcissistic parents and she has an incredible insight into how to navigate these complex relationships.

You can get a copy of Nova's book Fake Love!
