Watch this episode on Youtube Today, I'm catching up with past guest Coach Ralphiel Toulon, MCPC, SuperMom, Certified Life Coach, and Personal Trainer. It’s been two years since Coach Ralph and I first spoke, and during that time, she has experienced some significant life changes. When we first spoke, Coach Ralph was in the midst of her marriage, navigating the complexities of her husband’s diagnosis with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). This led to a lot of challenges, but at the time, he had shown vast improvement and a real commitment to becoming better—specifically, learning how to express empathy in a way that wasn’t harmful to those around him. Because of that progress, she decided to continue the marriage and even launched a program aimed at helping other women in relationships with narcissists who were determined to make it work. In our hour-long conversation, we dive deep into co-parenting, step-parenting, what it’s really like being married to a narcissist, and the emotional toll it takes when things don’t go as hoped. Coach Ralph candidly shares her journey and what happens when everything falls flat despite your best efforts. Follow Ralph : instagram.com/ralphthecoach Sponsored by NajaHallBeauty and VIPStepmom…
