Co-parenting with a narcissist is not just difficult—it’s a relentless, exhausting battle that impacts every part of your life, especially your children. In this episode, I relive the realities of narcissistic co-parenting, from parent alienation to emotional and legal abuse. I share my own experiences, highlight expert insights, and include powerful clips from professionals like Dr. Ramani and Dr. Christine Marie Cocciola. These discussions shed light on how narcissists manipulate children, weaponize the legal system, and leave the targeted parent feeling powerless.

If you've ever felt like you're constantly in survival mode, battling high cortisol levels, chronic fatigue, and the never-ending emotional and financial abuse that comes with co-parenting with a narcissist, this episode is for you. I also share clips from a registered psych nurse who explains the physical toll of narcissistic abuse, as well as a powerful message for single moms who feel trapped in this cycle. Stay tuned because I promise—you’re not alone, and there is hope.
