Today’s episode is another of our special expert episodes where a specialist shares their tips and advice for overcoming a particular style of challenge.

In the episode we will be hearing from Mia Madafferi of Grey Rock Consulting.

Mia is a proud mum who spent 16 years as a lawyer navigating complex disputes across a variety of industries.

As an experienced lawyer, trained to stick to the facts and leave emotion out, she found this difficult to do personally and sought out help.

Since then she has founded grey rock to help other women build and strengthen their muscles to navigate their situation. She specialises in working with clients who are trying to manage communicating with controlling, narcissistic and high conflict personalities.

In today’s episode Mia shares:

-      Just how dangerous and destructive words can be

-      The surprising truth behind which women are most often victims of coercive controllers.

-      Her tips for managing and dealing with a high conflict personality.
