Part 2: Narcissism - Unlocking Forgiveness: Empathy, Curiosity, Self-Care and Finding Your Voice (Season 2: Ep 2)

In Season One, Damesha and Alli tackle a pervasive topic that permeates social media and resonates with clients, friends, and family alike: narcissism. They shared how narcissistic abuse is a form of emotional and psychological abuse that can have devastating effects on the lives of its victims.
Narcissistic abuse is perpetrated by individuals who have a personality disorder characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a lack of empathy for others, and a constant need for admiration and attention.
The effects of narcissistic abuse can be both immediate and long-lasting. Initially, victims may experience confusion, anxiety, and a sense of being overwhelmed. They may struggle to comprehend what is happening to them, as the behavior of the narcissist can be unpredictable and inconsistent. The victim may also feel isolated and alone, as the narcissist may attempt to control their access to social support networks.
Damesha and Alli received an outpouring of comments, questions and personal stories that blew them away! It inspired them to go a bit deeper, share a bit more and answer some of the audience comments and questions directly.
Some of the episode topics/highlights

Phil Johnson, Founder & CEO of MBL Program on Emotional Intelligence and how it’s ”thee” only answer (Ep. 28)

Meet Phil Johnson, Founder, and CEO of the Master of Business Leadership (MBL) program, transforming lives for over 31 years and impacting billions in career revenue. From a small town upbringing in Brantford, Ontario, to his struggles with dyslexia, Phil's journey is marked by determination and resilience.
Born prematurely and spending his first six months in an incubator, he overcame early challenges with unwavering determination. With his mother's tragic passing when he was 14, he made a life-altering decision to conquer the unknown.
Phil's path took him from being a "slow learner" who had failed grades 3 and 5 to becoming an "A" student in high school. He earned a top spot in his class at the De Groote School of Business and a degree in Electrical Engineering while starting a 20-year career in the semiconductor industry.
In his corporate journey, he reached executive status, but by 1990, he questioned if there was more to life. A yearning to fulfill a promise he made to himself on that snowy night in 1968 led him to break away from corporate America and establish the MBL program.
For the past 22 years, MBL has honed emotional intelligence, inspirational leadership, higher consciousness, and other essential skills for personal and corporate success. Phil's transformative work with MBL alumni spans across the globe, from the United States and Canada to the UK, Europe, Japan, Germany, Bosnia, Africa, Australia, the Middle East, and Saudi Arabia.
Phil Johnson's inspiring journey and his mission to guide others toward achieving their desires make him a true embodiment of the power of resilience, determination, and transformation.
