How To Spot A Narcissist And DIY Home Pr...

Chalene Johnson
About this episode

What really makes someone a narcissist, and why is it so hard to spot the red flags when you’re the one in the relationship? In this episode, Chalene Johnson mixes storytelling with real talk about intuition, manipulation, and how predators can fool not just their victims but everyone around them. From DIY headboard projects gone sideways to a Hulu documentary that exposes chilling patterns, you’ll hear why it’s so important to trust your gut and let your closest friends call out what you might not want to see. If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself about a partner, or worried that AI and dating apps make it easier for bad actors to fake their way in, this conversation will give you perspective and protection.
