## Resource

Hello and welcome back - Today's episode is a longer one, and marks our first published interview. Join me as I talk with my good friend Melissa, and we hear her story of dealing with a very disagreeable neighbor and HOA member. You guessed it - Narcissism impacts you whether the person is a close personal friend, family member, romantic connection, or even a neighbor. Listen along and find out how Melissa navigated this situation - which included brick throwing, a lawyer, a parking space mistake, negative health impacts, a surprising open house, and the eventual sale of her property. I hope you enjoy. If you have questions, thoughts, or topics you’d like covered, you can use the contact form on practicalsomatic.com/podcast.
