In this episode, we’re diving into a conversation that gets thrown around a lot but rarely explored with honesty — narcissists.

But this isn’t a diagnosis episode. This is a real-life conversation about awareness, emotional maturity, and the ways we all can lose sight of the bigger picture.

We’re talking about what it really means when people say someone “can’t see past the end of their own nose” — and how that blindness can show up in more than one way. Sometimes it looks loud and ego-driven. Other times it hides inside pain, sensitivity, and emotional tunnel vision.

This episode explores the spectrum between ego and hurt, overt and covert tendencies, and why the narcissist label gets used so loosely in today’s world. Through real-life insight, raw reflection, and a few powerful metaphors, we unpack how these patterns affect relationships, self-awareness, and the emotional climate we all live in.

This is not about blame. This is about clarity. And learning how to live with more awareness — without losing yourself in the process.

If you’re someone who cares about growth, emotional intelligence, and seeing the full picture of human behavior, this conversation will stretch you in the best way.

Ever notice how one person not showing up the way you expected can open the floodgates in your mind?

In this episode, Stacy-Lynn dives into what she calls the mental highway — the fast track your brain takes from disappointment in someone else straight into self-doubt, body criticism, old wounds, and emotional spirals that feel way bigger than the moment.

What starts as unmet expectations in relationships can quickly turn into anxiety, anger, resentment, and internal attacks on your own worth. Stacy-Lynn shares a raw, real story from her own morning spiral and breaks down how expectations, control, and codependent patterns keep us stuck in cycles of emotional burnout.

You’ll hear about:

• Why unmet expectations feel like rejection in the nervous system
• How one person can make you forget the people who do show up
• The illusion of control through expectations
• The hidden identity trap of always being the “helper”
• How emotional spirals start and how to interrupt them

Plus, Stacy-Lynn shares the journaling practice that helped her stop living in her head and start releasing what she was holding in her body.

If you’ve ever felt disappointed, overwhelmed, or like your brain runs away with you, this episode will feel very familiar — and very validating.
