  • In this episode, learn how to tell if a narcissist is lying by watching for these telltale signs! Liars are not always easy to spot due to their chameleon-like behavior; however, if you take the time to step back and gain objectivity, you will notice pervasive patterns that indicate the person you are dealing with has a propensity to lie. Narcissistic personality disorder is not always easy to spot.

    Covert narcissists manipulate by mirroring your empathy, for example, and without objectivity, you might be pulled in by their charismatic charm or their sob story. Narcissists manipulate others in various ways, such as gaslighting, projection, triangulation, smear campaigns, coercive control, domination, and power. They can also use stonewalling and the silent treatment to exert control over their targets.

    To learn how to tell if a narcissist is lying, you may want to sit back and observe consistent and pervasive patterns of inconsistencies, lack of integrity, shapeshifting, twisting the truth, devaluing those who challenge them, as well as noting when they are most reactive, which is often associated with when someone dares to challenge a narcissist's version of reality. Narcissists are grandiose in their self perception. They only hang out with those they consider 'special' or unique or with those who bolster their delusions of superiority. Dare to challenge a narcissist about their beliefs of superiority, and you must prepare to be annihilated.

  • As the child of a narcissistic mother, your subconscious mind has been impressed with concepts, beliefs, and ideas that although helped you survive as a child, may work against your spiritual, mental, and emotional unfolding today. Being raised by a narcissistic mother poses significant risks to one's perception of self, which can taint every area of one's life. Children of narcissistic mothers struggle to honor, love, and respect themselves. They can become stuck in loops of self-sabotaging thinking, feeling, and behaving, leading them to codependent one-way relationships. Depression, anxiety, low self-worth, and a lack of self are just a few of the consequences of being raised by a narcissistic mother. If you have been raised in a toxic family system, if you are the adult child of narcissistic parents, or if you know of an adult child who has come from a dysfunctional childhood home, this episode will shed light on the struggles these adult children face. The good news is, as you awaken and identify toxic family issues, you can liberate yourself from the subconscious patterns, beliefs, and habitual thinking and behaving they have caused. Lisa A. Romano's life is proof that through an elevation of consciousness, it is possible to reclaim authority in your life, as are the thousands of adult children she has helped awaken and break free of the chains of the past.

  • Grandchildren of alcoholics don't always know their parents are adult children of alcoholics, nor do they appreciate what this means for them. Adult children of alcoholics have been raised feeling ignored, invisible, and in fear due to unpredictable homelife experiences. They generally do not know how to have fun, or how to let go. Feeling such a loss of personal power as children causes them to become rigid in their thinking, which leads to the need for control. Adult children of alcoholics often struggle with needing to be needed, with fixing and rescuing others, which are classic signs of codependency. In this episode, listen in to how Lisa A. Romano helps us understand the importance of recognizing how our parent's childhoods have impacted how they have parented us, and what that means if we discover we too struggle with codependency traits and symptoms.

Managing those intense feelings—like anger, sadness, or anxiety—helps us navigate life's challenges more smoothly.

It's not about ignoring or suppressing feelings but finding a healthy way to deal with them, so they don't control us.

  • Narcissists tend to be incredibly mean, vindictive, and vengeful. Understanding why can help better navigate these difficult relationships with people with high-conflict personalities. Narcissists can be mean because, deep down, they struggle with an intense need for admiration and validation. Their behavior is often driven by fragile self-esteem, and they may lash out to protect their perceived superiority or deflect attention from their insecurities. The need for control and a lack of genuine empathy contribute to their mean-spirited actions, as they prioritize their own desires and disregard the feelings of others.

    While it may seem like they are confident and self-assured, their meanness often stems from a fragile sense of self that requires constant validation from others, leading to manipulative and hurtful behaviors. When a narcissist feels challenged, they lash out needing to regain power in the relationship. Tune in and listen to Lisa A. Romano help you better understand why narcissists are so mean.

  • Are you someone who takes care of everyone but yourself, and who feels the silent need to appear perfect and as if you have no needs? Did you grow up feeling invisible, unheard and as if you needed to suppress your emotions and true self for the sake of keeping the peace or for the sake of avoiding rejection, abandonment or some other form of punishment? If so, you may find it more difficult than most to love yourself. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano helps us understand why some adult children of alcoholics and narcissistic parents find it so challenging to put ourselves first. Self love is not selfish. It's an act of honoring the power within, and when we do not love ourselves, it is as if we are placing the candles we are in dark closets. Each of us is entitled to love as much as any other person and when we begin by loving the self with self care tips, and by acting upon self love, we literally heal the wounds of our inner child, and begin reprogramming our subconscious minds for a healthy, more empowered sense of self.

  • In the intricate dance of sibling relationships, toxic family dynamics can cast a long shadow, leaving lasting impacts on our connections with our brothers and sisters. Scapegoating, where one sibling is unfairly targeted and blamed for familial issues, creates a toxic atmosphere of mistrust and resentment. Triangulation, often orchestrated by a narcissistic parent, involves pitting siblings against each other, fostering competition and divisiveness rather than unity.

    Narcissistic parenting further exacerbates these dynamics, as the focus on the parent's needs and desires can overshadow the authentic bonds between siblings. Such toxic patterns can lead to a breakdown in communication, feelings of inadequacy, and the erosion of the natural support system that sibling relationships should provide. It's crucial to recognize these dynamics and embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery to break free from the chains of dysfunction and nurture healthier connections with our siblings. Join us in this episode, as Lisa A. Romano Breakthrough Life Coach and bestselling author, demystifies the delicate relationships between siblings in light of toxic family dynamics.
