In this episode, I talk about what it’s like to grow up in a narcissistic family unit. I wasn’t raised. I was managed. I became the scapegoat. I share the grief of being erased to protect someone else's happiness, and the moment I realized I wasn’t crazy. I was reacting to something real.

It’s the heartbreak that lives just outside the frame, the mourning done in the background. If you’ve ever loved from the sidelines and grieved in silence, this one’s for you.
