Thrive & Rise S2 Ep1: Part 1: Love, Narcissism & Boundaries: Valentine’s Edition

Описание: This Valentine’s Day, Thrive & Rise with Tiffany tackles a topic many feel but few understand: narcissism in relationships and how it impacts love, connection, and emotional autonomy.

Tiffany Tilley sits down with Dr. Nakpangi Thomas — PhD, LPC, and Clinical Traumatologist — a licensed professional counselor with over 25 years of experience in trauma, crisis intervention, and healing. Dr. Thomas has dedicated her career to helping individuals and families navigate complex emotional patterns, including challenging relational dynamics rooted in narcissistic behaviors and abuse.

In this powerful conversation, they unpack:

What narcissism really looks like in romantic relationships (beyond the memes and stereotypes)

How “narcissistic supply” shows up and why it’s so addictive

The emotional and psychological impact of narcissistic behaviors on partners and families

Healthy boundaries vs. people-pleasing

How to reclaim autonomy, self-worth, and emotional power in love

This is NOT a shame-filled episode — it’s a truth-telling, healing-focused, and empowering conversation. If you’ve ever wondered why some relationships feel emotionally draining, why love can become painful, or how to protect your heart and dignity while loving, this episode will give you clarity, tools, and reassurance.

Whether you’re single, healing from past love, or committed but seeking healthier patterns, this Valentine’s Edition is for anyone choosing LOVE — not emotional exhaustion.
