Dating a Narcissist: How I Missed the Red Flags and Reclaimed My Worth

Dating a Narcissist: How I Missed the Red Flags and Reclaimed My Worth

In this deeply personal solo episode of The Feisty Heroine Podcast, host Rachel Beck shares her cautionary tale of falling back into a relationship with a narcissistic ex—and how it nearly cost her her sense of self.

From subtle red flags to emotional manipulation, Rachel takes us inside the emotional toll of dating a covert narcissist. She opens up about the gaslighting, the conditional affection, the shame spirals, and the brutal realization that love should never make you feel small.

If you've ever questioned your worth in a relationship, felt like you were constantly “not enough,” or stayed with someone who chipped away at your confidence—this episode is for you.

🎙️ You'll learn:

  • What narcissistic abuse can really look like (it’s not always obvious)

  • Why even smart, independent women can fall for these dynamics

  • How internalized shame and the “expiring woman” narrative keep us stuck

  • What it really means to reclaim your worth and walk away for good
