Summary
We talk endlessly about narcissistic men — but what happens when the narcissist is a woman? In this episode, Maria Shkreli, LMHC, breaks down why narcissistic women are often harder to recognize, confront, and recover from — whether she’s your mother, your partner, or your boss. You’ll learn how manipulation hides beneath care, how control disguises itself as love, and how living with this dynamic rewires your entire sense of self. Many of these women grew up watching their mothers destroy men — and swore they’d never do the same. But unhealed daughters don’t break cycles; they repeat them. Maria explores the silent epidemic of women raised by narcissistic mothers — women who tear down the kind men who love them, twist truth into victimhood, and still get celebrated for being “strong.” It’s time to talk about the men who were silenced, shamed, and finally set free. Tune in for a raw, unapologetic conversation about female narcissism — the unspoken power dynamic that leaves no visible bruises but deeply scars the soul. Real love doesn’t require control — it requires accountability.
