We're just gonna say it... manipulators, narcissists & gaslighters are pretty damn toxic and can do some real damage to a person's mental health. Today, Co-Hosts Meg Vitti & Nicole Danielle deep dive into how to navigate these mentally damaging people and find the strength to no longer allow them to affect you.

- How to recognize the BIG RED FLAGS that you’re being manipulated.

- If you listen to your “pit,” it will guide you to and from the things you do and don’t want to be a part of.

- Doing the same things over & over again is the Crazy Train.

- If you’re trying to better yourself & your partner is saying the same thing but you’re taking the steps & your partner is saying they are but they’re not, it’s never going to work out.

- Gaslighting happens because someone has the need to control & control then puts the fear into others.

- People who raise their voice & put others down to make themselves feel better are broken, insecure and unable to deal with their own shit.

- How to take the power away from a manipulator.

- Why people lash out on others.

- How to regain control over the situation when dealing with a narcissist.

- What to do when you know you’re being manipulated but you’re stuck being a “people pleaser,” so you just continue to take it?

- Stockholm Syndrome

- Dangers of mental manipulation in relationships.

- Your body, brain and mind will tell you exactly what’s going on if you’re brave enough to listen to it.

- We continue to pick relationships with same manipulating character because we never made the adjustments.

- You have to stop giving a shit about the voices you don’t care about.

- If everyone’s opinion matters, you’ll never have a thought of your own.

- Learn to not be baited back into the argument.

- True colors coming out after the relationship begins.

- You have to have the right balance of reaction and emotion.

- How to change the “victim” role

- Dangers of serial relationship-ers and not taking the time to make adjustments.

- What is the difference between a Manipulator and a Gaslighter?

Welcome back, Friends! We've hit Episode 15 here on Somewhere Road and today's episode is a big one with the theme of "Change" driving the conversation.

In Episode 15, "Everything's FINE: Finding Calm in the Chaos & Navigating the Challenges within CHANGE," Co-Hosts Meg Vitti & Nicole Danielle address a heavy-hitting listener question on what to do when you're trying to make positive changes in your life but other people make you feel like you're the problem?

On the path to change, make sure to surround yourself with positive people who are going to encourage you along the journey to self-betterment. The truth is, you can't take everyone with you as you level-up in life, so you might just have to let go of some of the negative people who aren't backing you up as you are focused on personal growth.

Nicole & Meg then discuss the dangers of "assumptions" & Nicole gets heated when explaining why the word "Fine" is the worst word in the dictionary. Meg shocks Nicole when she reveals the acronym for the word "FINE," and Nicole shares why her least favorite word sends her right back to high school days with the "12 Fine of '99."

And later, Nicole gives her biggest bomb drop yet when she lets listeners in on the truth of her life currently and the CHANGE that's coming! A tease into "part two" of her book series, you want the inside scoop on what's really going down in Nicole's life? Then you better come & take a walk with us on this week's journey down Somewhere Road!
