Jill shares her personal experience navigating a narcissistic relationship and how alcohol can both mask and intensify the confusion, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion that often come with it. Together, they unpack how to recognize red flags, rebuild self-trust, and begin reclaiming your identity, whether you're still in the relationship or starting your healing journey.
