Show notes

Not every bad relationship is narcissistic. But some are. In this follow-up to Episode 19, I walk through the story of how I entered a marriage that was full of red flags—and the difference between selfish behavior and narcissistic manipulation. If you’ve ever struggled to trust your own gut, this episode is here to help you name what you felt, understand what you saw, and stop carrying shame for what you didn’t know yet. Mentioned in this Episode: – Proverbs 19:2 (NLT) – Isaiah 30:18 (NLT) – The Bounce Back Journal: https://amzn.to/45iBuAX – Join the FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bouncebackblackwoman Journal Prompts: What red flag did I ignore that I now recognize as protection? What truth do I need to stop explaining away?
