In this week’s episode, I sit down with Ashton, who has been professionally diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD). Together, we explore what these diagnoses mean beyond the stigma, discussing the clinical features, how they overlap, and what it’s like to navigate daily life, relationships, and identity with both conditions.

Ashton shares his lived experience with candor and insight, offering a rare perspective on disorders that are often misunderstood or sensationalized. We talk about the challenges, misconceptions, and coping strategies, as well as the impact of therapy and self-awareness.

This episode is an opportunity to hear directly from someone who lives with NPD and BPD, blending clinical context with real human experience, and to challenge the stereotypes often surrounding Cluster B personality disorders.
