Narcissists don’t always demand power—just as often, they invite you into a beautiful illusion. In this episode, we expose one of the most seductive manipulations in the narc playbook: the idea that your love, your labor, your patience will unlock the hidden soul inside them.

It’s not a relationship. It’s an emotional assignment—one that keeps you giving endlessly while waiting for a breakthrough that never comes.

You’ll learn:
• Why narcissists present as “wounded potential” instead of tyrants
• How to recognize the trance of emotional labor disguised as sacred connection
• Three signs you’re trapped in a spell of endless deferral

This isn’t love—it’s energy theft wrapped in the language of transformation. The garden they promised doesn’t exist. But yours does.
