"Their love disappears the moment you stop letting them control you."
In this episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, we uncover what really happens when a narcissist loses control over you—and why their reaction is never about love or regret.

You’ll learn:
Why narcissists can’t handle losing power
The extreme tactics they use to reel you back in
How to protect yourself from emotional retaliation
Why no contact and boundaries are your best defence
How to stay grounded and reclaim your freedom
“It’s not about you. It’s about losing their grip on your life.”
Whether you’re healing from a toxic relationship, going no contact, or facing post-breakup mind games, this episode offers the clarity, validation, and strategies you need to protect your peace.

In this episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, we dive deep into the question many victims of narcissistic abuse ask: Can a narcissist change if they go to therapy? While therapy is a vital step for survivors of narcissistic abuse, helping them untangle years of manipulation, gaslighting, and emotional trauma, it’s rare for the narcissist themselves to seek professional help. So why don’t narcissists take responsibility, apologise, or show any desire to change? In this episode, I’ll break down the reasons behind this pattern and explore whether true change is possible for those with narcissistic personality traits. You’ll learn: Why narcissists rarely attend therapy or take accountability for their actions The challenges of healing when the narcissist remains unchanged Whether therapy can genuinely help a narcissist transform their behaviours How narcissistic abuse recovery and healing can move forward without the narcissist seeking help If you’ve ever wondered why the narcissist in your life doesn’t seek help or refuse to change, this episode is a must-listen.

In this emotional and eye-opening episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, I am joined by Ali Kessler, a passionate parent advocate, writer, and the founder of Greyson's Choice—a 501(c)(3) organisation dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of domestic abuse on children. Ali’s life was tragically altered in 2021, when her vibrant, fearless 4.5-year-old son, Greyson, was murdered by his biological father in a murder-suicide during an unsupervised, court-approved visit. This horrifying event occurred just hours after a Broward County judge denied Ali’s petition for a domestic violence injunction, despite clear threats from the abuser. In this raw and powerful episode, Ali discusses: The heartbreaking consequences of narcissistic abuse and the failure of the judicial system to protect vulnerable children How the denial of domestic violence petitions can lead to devastating consequences Ali’s journey to founding Greyson's Choice and advocating for change The passage of Greyson's Law, which now requires courts to consider threats against ex-partners when making child visitation and custody decisions Ali’s story is a painful reminder of the real-world impact of domestic abuse, and how narcissistic behaviour can tear families apart. Her advocacy work has helped change legislation to protect children from abusive parents, and her unwavering commitment to justice is a beacon of hope for others affected by domestic violence. If you or someone you know is experiencing narcissistic abuse or domestic violence, this episode offers insight, validation, and hope.

Covert narcissists are masters of disguise. Covert narcissists are experts at mind games, hiding behind a facade of charm, vulnerability, or self-pity. In this episode of Fake Love and Flying Monkeys, I’m revealing the five most insidious tactics covert narcissists use—because once you spot them, you can take your power back. Unlike overt narcissists, who are loud and obvious, covert narcissists manipulate in subtle, sneaky ways. They use gaslighting, guilt-tripping, and emotional draining to keep you off-balance without raising their voices. One minute, they seem like the perfect partner, friend, or colleague, and the next, you're questioning your own reality. Sound familiar? If you've ever walked away from a conversation feeling confused, guilty, or like you're walking on eggshells, this episode is for you. Recognising these covert narcissist mind games is the first step to breaking free from their emotional control. 🎧 Tune in now to learn how to identify covert narcissistic manipulation and regain your freedom.
