This episode is an ENCORE of Dr Kyrstin Lokkesmoe's return to her discussion with Andee on Toxic Narcissists. This time around, the ladies discuss how the Toxic Narcissist acts in Divorce proceedings. How do they appear to the judge or to a mediator? How do they treat the attorneys on the other side? Dr Kyrstin provides the clues to look for and gives advice on how to deal with it, and Andee has several observations of her own.

It's another fun, warm, and informative conversation as these two talented women break down a complicated and destructive personality disorder.

But of course, they cover some other areas, like their recent trials and hearings, Mali's body building fitness journey, how to be a cheer leader for your best friends, and normalizing how women discuss their health and their weight.

Join the conversation, but buckle in -- this is a fun one.
