This is the last episode in the Narcissism series. Today we will take a closer look at ourselves. First, we ask, what are traits I might possess that would attract a Narcissist? Second, we ask, as I become aware of my own Narcissist tendencies, what do I need to be aware of in order to change for the better? Thanks to Paige Harris for joining us in this discussion and for the amazing and incredibly helpful freebies!

“Self-care is never a selfish act. It is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer others. Anytime we can listen to our true self and give the care it requires, we do it not only for ourselves, but for the many others whose lives we touch.” ~Parker Palmer

Self-care is quite the buzz word these days and it is often relegated to the back seat of pampering or over-indulgence. Yet, this kind of indulgence is not required for survival during times of stress, transition or trauma. The self-care discussed here is about developing tools to cultivate a sustainable well-being during life’s challenges.

“Caring for myself is not about self-indulgence, it’s about self-preservation.” ~Audre Lorde
