Thank you to today’s sponsor: Paleovalley: BOGO at https://bit.ly/PaleovalleyLisa Sometimes, the sharpest, strongest women get wrapped into relationships that empty them out, emotionally, physically, and mentally - while everyone else just sees the perfect facade. In this episode, I’m sitting down with Aishia Grevenberg, licensed therapist, survivor, and radical boundary queen. We’re going all-in on the brutal tactics of narcissists and psychopaths, what makes you a target, and (most importantly!) how to literally rewire your boundaries so you never, ever lose yourself again.
