About this episode

While we don't want to put labels on people, it is important to be aware of certain patterns of behavior. Because the more awareness we have, the better we'll be able to navigate situations we find ourselves in.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • The characteristics, signs, and symptoms of narcissism and borderline personality disorder.
  • How to draw boundaries and protect yourself from dysfunctional or even dangerous relationships.
  • The truth behind the age-old question, "Can people really change?"
