Was actually something else?

In this eye-opening video, I break down the real reason so many high achievers — CEOs, influencers, lawyers, even therapists — get mislabeled as narcissists. The truth? Most of them are actually falsely empowered codependents.

They’re not arrogant. They’re ashamed.
They’re not invulnerable. They’re deeply afraid of intimacy.
And they’re not narcissists — they’re wounded children in adult bodies.

You’ll learn:
✅ The two types of codependents and why 95% of people miss this
✅ How to spot the subtle difference between narcissism and false empowerment
✅ Why your need to “do it all alone” might be the trauma talking
✅ And how to finally break free from this pattern

If you've ever felt confused by someone’s behavior (or your own), this video will radically shift how you see emotional health, healing, and relationships.

Ever wondered why you keep falling for the wrong person? Why the butterflies in your stomach always seem to lead to heartbreak?

Here’s the truth:
You’re not broken. You’ve just misunderstood your own emotions.

In this video, I walk you through groundbreaking research from neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett—and how your childhood, trauma, and worst day cycle are writing the emotional script of your life without you even knowing it.

You’ll learn:

• Why we confuse emotional triggers with love

• How your brain predicts emotions based on past pain

• Why both narcissists and victims are playing out the same shame-based pattern

• How to finally escape the Worst Day Cycle

🎯 This is not about blame—it’s about ownership. And once you see the truth, you’ll never be the same.
