In this episode....

Welcome to Episode 2 of the SmartEmpath™ Podcast! In this episode, we explore Maya's marriage to Jack and what happens when she wakes up to his narcissism.

Marriage is supposed to be a place of honesty and trust. But when the empath wakes up to the narcissist's lies, it can be quite the shock. The thing is this, empaths are notorious for staying in denial for a very long time so it can be years, even decades before they finally face the truth: that their needs have never really mattered as much as they thought.
