7. Ep. 15 · September 15, 2026 · 14 minCo-parenting with a narcissistWhen you share a child, no contact is not available — the relationship keeps going in the form of handovers, school emails and schedule changes.

Ep. 10 · September 1, 2026 · 15 minPost-discard: rebuilding identity, redefining reality, reclaiming selfThe recovery side of the pattern — what the discard actually removes, why your reality needs rebuilding before anything else, how identity gets reclaimed in layers, and what coming back to yourself actually looks like.
13. Ep. 9 · September 1, 2026 · 15 minNarcissistic behavior as a predatory pattern: targeting, testing, extractionWhy 'predatory' is the right word — how a target gets chosen for what they have to give, how boundaries get probed cheaply and early, and how the relationship gets run at a one-way draw.
14. Ep. 8 · September 1, 2026 · 19 minPre-discard: when the story gets rewritten before you're goneThe quiet run-up before a betrayal or discard — how shared history gets rewritten, how you get isolated from support, and how the audience gets pre-briefed to hear your pain as proof.
