Episode notes

You know those relationships where you fall hard, fast… and then realize way too late just how much you’ve been played? The charm is electric, your heart is pounding, but there’s this nagging voice inside saying, “Something isn’t adding up…”

In this episode, I’m sitting down with Harvard professor, happiness expert, and bestselling author Dr. Arthur Brooks to expose the Dark Triad: the three personality traits that make someone irresistible, manipulative, and ultimately dangerous. If you’ve ever been burned by a narcissist, felt totally confused about what’s real, or wondered how the hell to stop the cycle, homie, this is your episode.

Here’s exactly what we dive into:

The 5 early-warning traits all manipulative partners share… and how to spot them before it’s too late
The “DARVO” technique: Why leaving a toxic relationship can actually be the most dangerous phase, and how to outsmart abusers trying to punish you for leaving
Practical tests, questions, and real-world tools to spot the Dark Triad… and the “light triad” you genuinely WANT in a partner
