Laura Bytheway is a Post Narc Life Coach, Podcaster, Speaker and genuinely a woman who is helping women retrain their mind out of old habits and guiding them to new behaviors. We met at the PodGals Experience and I knew we had to talk. I read her Instagram posts and each one awakens experiences. On October 20, she posted this on her Instagram and my epiphany began. I’m using her words: “Here’s a big thing that makes a narcissistic a narcissistic… and its not gaslighting, shaming, blaming, guilting, or lack of empathy (but they definitely do those) What distinguishes a true narc from others is this: They are willing to do things others aren’t willing to do. Like use their own kids as pawns in a divorce…Or run around telling everyone lies about you just to make it seem like you’re the bad guy. But here’s the ONE thing that they are absolutely UNWILLING to do no matter what…That you can start doing RIGHT NOW to get freedom, create peace and start building the life you actually want. FEEL the emotions you have been unwilling to feel. Face the grief, the loss the shame, the emptiness. Allow them in your body without numbing, deflecting, avoiding or make them go away. That’s right, it’s that simple. You just feel your heavy, painful emotions. Just be willing to allow them. A narcissist will literally do anything but that. But this is where your true power begins.
