Welcome to the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast.

My name is Lisa A. Romano.

I am a life coach, best-selling author, YouTube vlogger, meditation teacher, an expert in the field of codependency and narcissistic abuse.

I am a believer in the power of an organized mind.

My aim is to help people learn what it means to live above the veil of consciousness, rather

than living a reactive life.

May your heart feel blessed, your mind feel expanded, and your spirit find hope as you

spend time with me here at the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast.

Have you ever met someone who absolutely relied on revenge, someone who was just bent on destroying the life of another person?

If you're like me, you have either been a target of that person,

or you know someone who has been a target of someone who possesses these types of traits.

negative character traits. When you draw attention to this person's character, when you point
