Have you ever found yourself in a relationship that started like a dream: intense, exciting, and deeply validating, only to slowly unravel into something confusing, painful, and even toxic?

If you're a highly sensitive person (HSP), you may have noticed a pattern: You attract people who seem drawn to your empathy, your kindness, and your deep capacity for love... but over time, they leave you feeling drained, manipulated, or even questioning your own reality.

Why does this happen? And more importantly, how can you break free from this cycle?

In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the most complex and painful dynamics out there: the attraction between highly sensitive people and narcissists. And I’m joined by a powerful guest Marla who has lived through this firsthand. She’ll be sharing her deeply personal experience of being married to a narcissist, how she realized what was happening, and how she found the strength to walk away.

We’ll also explore why HSPs are particularly vulnerable to narcissistic relationships, the red flags to watch out for, and how to set boundaries that protect your peace without losing your beautiful sensitivity.

The Road To Success For Your Highly Sensitive Child

This podcast is about empowering parents of Highly Sensitive Children to nurture their child’s unique personality trait and create a path to success. Our podcast provides guidance, insights, and support to help you unlock your child's full potential, fostering resilience, confidence, and a bright future.

BIOGRAPHY

I’m creating a global movement in bringing awareness and acceptance of Highly Sensitive People (HSP) and Highly Sensitive Children (HSC).

I’m committed to transforming how the world sees Highly Sensitive People (HSP) and more importantly how Highly Sensitive People see themselves. It took me decades to learn that I’m a Highly Sensitive Person and another 3 years to work on myself to accept my trait and start to love myself and realize how amazing it is to be among the 20% of the global population with this trait. For example, as an HSP, I see subtleties that most people don’t see, and this aptitude has helped me be successful in my career, in my personal life, in helping my parents, family, and friends.

I believe that my purpose in life is to help parents of Highly Sensitive Children understand their child’s trait, embrace it, and realize that the best thing they can do for their child is to understand this trait in them and help them see the beauty in it. I truly believe that if we start focusing on the strengths of this trait, we can set our children up for success.
