Behind the covert narcissist’s charm lies a psychological battlefield the empath can feel long before they understand it.

This episode breaks down the manipulation tactics covert narcissists use…gaslighting, triangulation, intermittent reinforcement, and the silent treatment… and explains how these behaviors impact an empath’s nervous system and intuition.

Listener, YOU may gain insight into the emotional abuse cycle, the spiritual tension between truth and illusion, and the empath’s growing awareness of the narcissist’s hidden motives.

Perfect for those of you searching for signs of covert narcissistic abuse, emotional manipulation tactics, and how empaths experience psychological warfare.

This is the moment the empath begins to see the cracks in the narcissist’s mask…. Or rather show the covert narcissist just how visible the cracks in their mask are.

You’ve seen the bully on the playground haven’t you? Yes, that one who acts all sweet, innocent and loving in front of their mommy and daddy and the teacher (in public), the perfect performer….. deserves an Emmy…or an Oscar!

Brazen!

Yet, when no one of any real significance is looking….the masquerade ends… the pretend stops…and the truth creeps up like an old poison ivy rash that even calamine lotion cannot soothe. Mommy and daddy know the cause and yet dare not reproach for fear of exposure of the root cause.

And so the covert narcissist is free to roam the land from see to sea…. Seeking whom it can devour…. Until they meet the one…. Who sees them from miles away…. As if waiting for 1,000 years to relieve them of their burden…. The awkwardness….and find better level of self respect……instead of shamelessness and reckless abandon…..

Thank you for listening.

There are moments in life when betrayal cracks something open …not to break you, but to reveal you.

This episode is a guided journey into the spiritual clarity that rises only after deception has shaken your foundations.

We explore how the soul uses even the most painful experiences to redirect you, refine you, and return you to yourself.

Through reflection, grounding, and a deeper look at divine timing, we uncover the truth that nothing was wasted.

And nothing happened outside the wisdom of the Creator.

This is an invitation to step out of the fog, to reclaim your intuition, and to see your path with new eyes.

A reminder that the hurt was real …but so is your healing.

And the clarity waiting for you on the other side is not just insight…

it’s transformation.

In this closing segment, the mentor speaks directly to the partner who now holds her story, offering a gentle, Lenzy-style reflection on what it means to be trusted with someone’s deepest truth.

Through metaphors of tides, seasons, and the natural rhythms of human healing, this piece explores how emotional pain moves in cycles…rising, settling, returning…and how steadiness, warmth, and simple human presence can create a sense of safety without trying to fix or control anything.

This reflection reminds listeners that when someone shares a painful part of their past, they are not asking for solutions.

They are inviting understanding.

They are letting someone witness the landscape they’ve walked alone. And in that invitation lies something profoundly sacred.

The mentor’s voice guides the listener to see trust not as a burden, but as an honor; not as a task, but as a relationship with rhythm. It’s a meditation on gentleness, on the power of lightness and laughter, and on the universal truth that every person moves through seasons of growth, change, and grief.

A grounding moment for anyone who has ever been entrusted with another’s story.

During The Mentor’s Reflection: Holding a Story With Sacred Hands”

In this episode, the mentor speaks directly to the partner who now holds her story, offering a gentle, reflection on what it means to be trusted with someone’s deepest truth.

Through metaphors of tides, seasons, and the natural rhythms of human healing, this piece explores how emotional pain moves in cycles…rising, settling, returning…and how steadiness, warmth, and simple human presence can create a sense of safety without trying to fix or control anything.

This reflection reminds listeners that when someone shares a painful part of their past, they are not asking for solutions.

They are inviting understanding.

They are letting someone witness the landscape they’ve walked alone. And in that invitation lies something profoundly sacred.

The mentor’s voice guides the listener to see trust not as a burden, but as an honor; not as a task, but as a relationship with rhythm.

It’s a meditation on gentleness, on the power of lightness and laughter, and on the universal truth that every person moves through seasons of growth, change, and grief. A grounding moment for anyone who has ever been entrusted with another’s story.

This episode explores the quiet, life‑altering moment when someone chooses to share a truth they’ve carried alone for far too long.

Not out of obligation, and not because you asked for it, but because something in you felt steady enough, safe enough, human enough for her to finally risk being seen.

When she opened up about her childhood trauma, it wasn’t just a conversation. It was a doorway she rarely approaches, let alone invites anyone through.

It was a room she’s kept locked for years. And letting you in was an act of trust that speaks to the depth of what she sees in you.

This reflection is for the partner who now holds that story ... the one who may feel the weight of it, the honor of it, and the uncertainty of what comes next. It’s a moment to pause, breathe, and recognize the significance of being chosen as a place of safety in someone else’s healing.

A gentle, grounding exploration of what it means to be trusted with truth, to stand steady in the presence of someone’s past, and to understand the quiet responsibility of holding space with care.

Partner gives compliments one day and sharp criticisms the next.

Some relationships create a confusing emotional rhythm: praise that lifts you up, followed by criticism that knocks the wind out of you.

This episode explores the disorienting experience of being spoken to with warmth one moment and sharpness the next …and how that inconsistency quietly shapes your sense of safety, worth, and connection.

Through the weathervane metaphor, we look at how sudden shifts in tone create unpredictable emotional weather. How you learn to brace even during the good moments. How you start questioning which version of their voice is the real one.

And how exhausting it becomes to anchor yourself in a climate that keeps changing direction.

This session closes with a reflective moment to help you ground yourself, reconnect with your inner steadiness, and remember that you deserve communication that doesn’t make you flinch.

Kindness shouldn’t come with an edge, and your worth should never depend on the wind.

The emotional climate shifts without warning …praise turning into critique, warmth turning into edge. You’re left unsure which version reflects how they truly see you, or whether either version stays long enough to matter.
