What do you do when reasoning, kindness, or boundaries don’t seem to work with someone who always has to be right? In Disarming the Narcissist, therapist Wendy Behary reveals powerful tools to help you communicate with the self-absorbed people in your life—without losing your sanity or self-worth. Whether it’s a partner, parent, boss, or friend, this book helps you understand what drives narcissistic behavior, and how to protect your peace while staying true to yourself.

You’ll learn how to break through manipulation, avoid emotional traps, and use empathy as a shield instead of a weakness. More than just a survival guide, this episode helps you reclaim your voice and confidence in the presence of those who drain it.

Before self-help became a movement, there was Psycho-Cybernetics — the book that taught millions how to reprogram their minds for confidence, purpose, and success. In this episode, we revisit Dr. Maxwell Maltz’s timeless work on self-image and how it shapes every part of our lives.

A plastic surgeon turned psychologist, Maltz discovered that changing a person’s appearance didn’t always change how they felt about themselves — but changing their self-perception did. We talk about the power of visualization, the science of mental rehearsal, and how your brain acts like a goal-seeking machine that moves toward whatever image you hold most clearly.

If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, procrastination, or fear of failure, this episode will help you see that the most important picture you’ll ever change is the one you hold in your mind.
