In this episode of The Shift Show, I’m breaking down grey rocking in depth, one of the most useful tools when you can’t go no contact yet. Learn exactly what grey rocking is, how to actually do it, why narcissists hate it, and what to expect when they push back harder. If you’re dealing with a narcissistic parent, partner, coworker, or anyone you’re still forced to interact with, this episode will give you practical, no-BS strategies to protect your energy and stop feeding their supply. 🛠 For more resources and ways to work with me follow this link: https://linktr.ee/letsgetyourshifttogether

Everyone online says "just go no contact." Cool. Not helpful for everyone. Not everyone can snap their fingers and disappear, especially if you share kids, assets, a home, or a bank account with this person. So before we get to step five, let's talk about steps one through four. We're covering radical acceptance, grey rocking, not engaging, low contact, and finally, no contact. Plus why grey rocking getting worse means it's actually working, and what to have in order before you walk away for good. 🛠 For more resources and ways to work with me follow this link: https://linktr.ee/letsgetyourshifttogether

We're not talking about the narcissist today. We're talking about the people standing right beside them clapping. Enablers are just as toxic as the narcissist because without them, the whole operation falls apart. We're getting into who they are, why most of them absolutely know what they're doing, and why your dad being "just an enabler" is not the pass everyone thinks it is. Plus how to deal with them (spoiler: same playbook as the narcissist).

Yeah, I disappeared. No, I didn’t ghost you on purpose. Between a neurologically damaged dog who bit my face and then my hand, PTSD that kept me housebound, and a year of just trying to function, the podcast wasn’t happening. But I’m back! And something called S.H.I.F.T. is coming mid-late April. Welcome back to The Shiftshow. Link I mentioned in the episode: https://linktr.ee/letsgetyourshifttogether

In this episode I had a great conversation with my good friend Lorenn on her struggle with infertility and how it brought the narcissists out. We had a great chat about this plus the childfree angle and how that brings the narcs out too. At just 15 years old, Lorenn was diagnosed with MRKH syndrome: a rare, congenital condition that affects the development of the female reproductive system. Having been a victim of narcissistic abuse in the face of her infertility, Lorenn has since been discussing the connection between these topics and helping to bring them to more public awareness: What do you do when a narcissist rubs their pregnancy news in your face? How do you handle their sudden discard once the baby arrives? What do you do when the narcissist shames you for having a medical condition like this?

It’s normal to feel like it’s “too late” or you’re “too old” to have learned about narc abuse because of all the lost opportunities and time. The truth is, this is repressed grief and as long as you’re a living breathing human, regardless of how old you are, it’s NOT TOO LATE! I’ve even heard people who are 20/21 years old saying it’s too late - it’s not! In this episode I explain why it’s absolutely not too late for you. Interested in learning more about my community?

In todays episode I talk about why a narcissist might tell you you’re punishing them when you set a boundary with them. There’s nothing more frustrating than mustering up all the courage to set the boundary, carefully considering the other persons feelings, and finally going ahead and setting the boundary after overthinking it for weeks and weeks only to be accused of being some type of ogre. It’s yet another classic manipulation tactic narcissists love to use to try and control their target with guilt! Listen to the episode to learn more.

This is the cycle that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friend! 🙃 Don’t be fooled by the love bombing! The narcissist has conditioned you to accept their behaviour as “normal” so the cycle can continue on as long as possible. In this episode, I talk about what's really going on when things are going well with the narcissist in your life. It's really just another manipulation tactic to keep the cycle of abuse alive and well. You can’t change the narcissist, the only thing you can control is how you react. No reaction is the goal, but it’s hard when your emotions are bamboozled all over the place and the narcissist is trying to provoke you. It’s important to see through the manipulation tactics, take your emotions out of it, and make the logical choice rather than the emotional choice you’re being manipulated with. Doing the inner work in baby steps is how you master this. One day at a time. Journaling is a great and free way to start doing the work! 🚨📣But if you’re looking for a supportive community with resources, guidance from a trauma informed coach with decades of lived experience who did the work, made it to the other side, and has worked with hundreds of survivors (hint: that’s me!!😆), courses, at an affordable price point, I invite you to join my new community membership!

Matt spent 10 years battling his own depression and chronic pain. He went from a physically active, pain-free law student to a shell of his former self who could no longer work, sleep, or find joy in life.

He is in the process of founding a startup focused on creating small, safe, boundary-driven healing communities for those with TMS pain. More information can be found at the website- joypops.org

TEDx Speaker, #1 Bestselling author of The Six Habits and Life Mastery Coach, Laura DiBenedetto teaches how to create the life of our dreams without sacrificing what we love. Laura is the founder and CEO of the award-winning marketing company, Vision Advertising, located in the greater Boston area. Laura created, built and ran the growth-oriented enterprise for 19 years with tremendous success, before retiring from active involvement in 2018 at age 37, passing the reins to her successor. Over the years, Laura personally sold several million dollars in ongoing contracts, was featured on Fox News and other Boston programming several times, was publicly recognized for business accomplishments, and was named a 40 Under Forty winner at only age 23.  Having started her first business at 19, Laura began to search for her next big project in 2012, finally finding it right on the cusp of retirement. While Laura’s career had been speckled with accomplishments and accolades, when she retired, she was simply burnt out and unhappy. After years of classes, workshops, books, and more, Laura was confused and wondering why the personal development world had let her down and sought to solve the problem. She went on a radical journey of self-discovery, research, and testing, determined to find energy and lasting, fulfilling happiness in all areas of life.  Laura found the answers to the question that plagued her (and so many of us) – six of them, in fact. She is devoted to sharing the universally applicable and deeply liberating truths she discovered, so that others may find their own path out of misery and into lasting, fulfilling happiness and limitless possibility.  Laura moved away from Boston in 2019 to the island of Maui, Hawaii and lives in tropical bliss with her husband, cats and dog.

This episode is an interview I did with my good friend Nat! She shares her story about being married to a narcissist for 2 years. She had no idea her ex husband was a narc until they were in the process of divorcing. The signs were there, which she talks about, but when you are in the bubble of the relationshit the signs can be very easily missed. She also offers hope to anyone who is currently struggling with a breakup or divorce (or upcoming breakup or divorce) from a narcissist that it is absolutely possible to find love with a normal person who is not a narcissist once you take some time to yourself and do some healing. You are not doomed to repeat the pattern forever! 

I had a great podcast interview with Beatrice Kamau! We discussed healing from narcissistic abuse, self love, and embodying what it means to heal.  Beatrice Kamau is what she likes to call a Registered Dietitian by trade and an inner child healing coach by vocation- she chose one, and the other chose her. She spent most of her life living passively, letting life happen to her as opposed to letting life happen through and for her. Beatrice lived at the mercy of what other people thought about her, she was codependent on nearly everyone that walked into my life, she had no self esteem, and she was terrified of making mistakes. It was only during a very low point she experienced during grad school where she asked herself, “Where does your need for perfectionism come from?”. You see, this was a critical moment for her. For the first time in her life, she asked herself about the origins of my behaviour instead of  blaming herself for them. That was the beginning of her self awareness, her transformation, her healing from inner child wounds & codependency, and her deep and unconditional love for herself. From that moment on, Beatrice realized the woman she was always searching for, the woman she had always wished to become was always within. She just had to dig in and find her- and free her. Now, she wants to help you do the same. Beatrice's deepest hope for you is that you find the truth of who you are and that you find restoration and deep healing from your inner child wounds.

I had a great interview with Vera Wilhelmsen about her healing journey from chronic fatigue syndrome.  Vera Wilhelmsen is a Norwegian girlwoman (her words) with an incredible story. In her 20's she became bed bound for 3 years with chronic fatigue syndrome and was too sick to even sit in a wheelchair or leave the house. After giving up on the healthcare system she fought her way out of it completely on her own and is today fully recovered, works, exercises and shakes her butt at every opportunity. After her physical recovery she quickly realized that the cause of her illness and suffering was narcissistic abuse. Her healing journey from childhood abuse and medical neglect is still ongoing but she is now sharing her story and her joy on YouTube. In one year she has gone from (her words) a grey, people-pleasing, moldable blob to a color explosion! https://www.verawilhelmsen.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0cyHUj7rY2ER96B-O0FijQ https://www.instagram.com/verawilhelmsen/

I had a great interview with Eddy Lindenstein about his chronic pain journey! This episode will be an an inspiration for anyone on their TMS healing journey. Eddy’s pain became really bad in the summer of 2016 after a reconstructive shoulder surgery rehab.  Symptoms at the time included Sciatica, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Numbness, Tingling, Neck Pain, back pain, shoulder pain, knee tendonitis, bicep tendonitis. After he found Sarno, he also linked his asthma and allergies back to TMS and completely came off 5 prescription medications for those. Eddy’s podcast, The Mind And Fitness Podcast, started in September of 2017 and has aired 140 new episodes since that time. Check it out here! https://audioboom.com/channels/4937410

I had an amazing conversation with country singer Emily Daniels about her new song My Last Name. She was inspired to write the song after changing her last name to honour her stepfather after she had cut ties with her biological father. She is extremely talented and the song absolutely hits home for anyone in the adult children of narcissistic parents community. I hope you enjoy our interview, and whether you like country music or not - listen to her song! It's absolutely amazing! The lyrics are so spot on and I am sure so many people will be able to relate to her profound words. Nashville native Emily Daniels has the charm of the girl next door, fashion sense of a personal stylist, and the determination of an entrepreneur. ​ Her witty and honest lyrics are perfectly blended with heartfelt, pitch-perfect, and infectious melodies. It’s a little Shania Twain sass with a dash of Maddie & Tae sweetness that will leave you humming all week long. Her music is as head-turning as her signature red outfits. A trained vocalist, Emily has studied with A-List Vocal Coach Renee Grant-Willams (Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill). She sites artists like Ben Rector & Tori Kelly as inspirations lyrically and melodically. She has been awarded high praise from CMT, Opry Radio, BMI, NSAI, and others. Emily is a regular featured artist / writer at Nashville staples including Listening Room, City Winery, The Original Tin Roof, Ole Red, Belcourt Taps, and Alley Taps. Emily has built strategic brand partnerships with Cracker Barrel, the Green Hills mall, local boutique Jondie, Le Grand Verre Wines and Molly Green. She also models for Nashville favorites like The Grand Ole Opry, Ryman Auditorium, Wildhorse Saloon, and Ole Red. Be sure to follow Emily for updates on new music, shows, and more!

This is the audio from a livestream I did on Instagram recently. In this live I speak about how it’s normal to feel guilty after setting boundaries. It literally means you’re human. It doesn’t mean you made a mistake or you’re wrong or a horrible person or whatever. It literally means you are considering the other persons feelings - so congrats you are not a narcissist or sociopath 😊 In this audio I discuss what to do with that feeling of guilt. Also remember: a healthy person will have no issue with you setting a boundary. A toxic or narcissistic person will. Your clue is the reaction to you setting a boundary. A negative reaction is a sign that this boundary should’ve been set yesterday and that you’re dealing with a selfish, toxic person and you don’t need to keep people like that in your life (even if it’s family)!
