This is Part Two of our conversation on Narcissism, following on from Episode 10: 'Understanding Narcissism - Traits, Personality Disorders & Healthy Self-Esteem'.
In this episode of Kinwomen ALOUD, Kelley continues the discussion with clinical psychologist Anne Galambosi, digging deeper into how narcissism shows up in everyday relationships, parenting, and personal growth.
Together they explore:
How to spot covert narcissism and the fragile self-image behind it
Why culture and social media fuel narcissistic behaviours
Practical tips for raising children with healthy self-esteem
What healthy narcissism looks like in creativity and leadership
How to reflect on your own relationships: Do I like myself in this dynamic?
This conversation moves beyond the clinical labels to show how narcissism touches family life, friendships, and even the way we see ourselves. If you’ve ever wondered how to balance healthy confidence with humility, this episode offers both clarity and encouragement.
