In this episode of Second Act Sessions, we’re talking all things narcissists—how to spot them, how to survive them, and what healing actually looks like after the damage is done. And no, it’s not just about romantic relationships. Narcissistic abuse can show up in friendships, family dynamics, and even professional environments. If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation feeling crazy, guilty, or drained… this one’s for you.

Joining me is Laura Richards—international podcaster, #1 bestselling author, and speaker—who shares her powerful story of surviving a 32-year marriage to a covert narcissist. Through her podcast That’s Where I’m At and her book Married to a “Nice” Guy: Getting Over Narcissistic Abuse, Laura is helping women all over the world reclaim their voice and rebuild their self-worth.

We talk red flags, trauma bonding, spiritual recovery, and the hard—but holy—work of starting over. This episode is honest, healing, and packed with wisdom for anyone ready to break free from toxic patterns and step into truth.
