Love, Lies, and Narcissism

About this episode

This episode explores the complexities of relationships affected by narcissism, highlighting red flags and emotional impacts.

In this episode of Patience in Progress, we go beyond the surface and into the reality that so many people experience but don’t always have the words for. What starts as connection, chemistry, and excitement can slowly turn into confusion, control, and emotional exhaustion. We talk about the red flags that are easy to overlook in the beginning… the subtle shifts that make you question yourself… and how, over time, you can lose your voice, your confidence, and even your sense of reality. Whether you’ve lived this, are currently in it, or want to better understand someone who has been through it—this episode brings awareness, validation, and truth to a topic that often stays hidden. You’re not crazy. You’re not alone. And your experience matters.
