Sherry and Carla first start the show talking about the overuse of the word “narcissist” and then identify what hoovering is in breakups. They then welcome Lindsey Ellison, author, podcaster, and relationship coach who helps people discover their breakthrough after a breakup. Lindsey believes that all breakups and divorces are catalysts for self-discovery, and a gold mine awaits them when they are able to identify their destructive relationship patterns. She specializes in childhood trauma, codependency, and communicating with narcissists and high-conflict relationships.
