Hey guys, it's Rach.

Welcome to another episode of the show.

And today we're talking about narcissism and narcissistic disorder.

This was a term that I really saw become very popular on TikTok.

I saw it a lot during COVID and in a lot of different videos.

And I think there's just a lot more information about what this is like

and what it's like to suffer with it yourself,

what it's like to have a partner or a parent or a boss who has narcissistic tendencies.

I wanted to take a deeper dive because I knew it was something y'all were interested in.

And in my studies and my learning, I discovered this book that I thought was so incredible.

And its author, Debbie Merza, is my guest today.

We are talking about passive aggressive covert narcissism.

Maybe a type of disorder you haven't heard about before.

But I think you're going to find it really interesting.

The one note I will give you before we jump into this episode is we started geeking out so much

and talking so fast that there is a point where she's making a list of the signs of a narcissist.

And we got so excited about the conversation that I don't think she says more than two of them.

I'm going to sneak in at that point and just read out the other signs and symptoms.

So you guys will know what they are.

So if you were listening to this and you were like, why did they not finish the list?

It was just because we got too excited chatting and we forgot to come back to it.

But I got you. Don't worry about it.
