NO ONE IS IMMUNE, most of us thought we would NEVER end up divorced, many of the guests you'll hear from had been happily married over 20, 30 and even 40 years! Learn what red flags to look for in YOUR relationship, learn what to do and what NOT to do if your partner appears to be in limerance or showing the signs of MLC. We will also be talking directly with people who are presently in MLC and will share what it's like to live through this most challenging time of their life.

How Did I Not See It? When Even the Psych Majors Get Blindsided
Trina Laird's podcast episode unravels the emotional chaos of midlife crises, particularly when partners with narcissistic traits are involved. She emphasizes that those left behind often misinterpret the behavior as a reflection of their own shortcomings. However, it is the sophistication of the mask worn by the narcissistic partner that obscures reality. As highly empathetic individuals, these partners are prone to seeing potential instead of reality, often holding onto a facade. Trina reminds listeners that their emotional intelligence and strength are not deficiencies, but rather qualities that the narcissistic partner found threatening in their pursuit of escape.
