Ep 252 - Richard Grannon | Decoding Real Narcissism

In this episode, we sit down with Richard Grannon for a raw and wide-ranging conversation about trauma, perception, and the psychology of narcissism. He shares insights on how narcissistic dynamics take root, why the popular use of the term often misses the mark, and how childhood wounds shape adult identity and behavior. We explore the cost of outsourcing meaning-making, the traps of victimhood and blame, and the deeper process of reclaiming one’s internal authority. This is a conversation about power, responsibility, and what it takes to stop living in a reality defined by your past.
