## Resource

In this episode, I unpack one of the most common phrases I hear from overwhelmed caregivers: "My sister is a narcissist." I explain why most difficult sibling behavior is not actually narcissism, how pop psychology is reshaping family conflict, and why mislabeling people keeps families stuck. You'll learn the difference between personality disorders, family roles, unresolved relationships, and plain old selfishness — and how understanding those distinctions changes the way you respond. This conversation is about moving away from labels and toward clearer, healthier, and more productive family dynamics.
