But Are You Happy?

Have you ever been love-bombed by a romantic partner only to have them go cold as soon as they’ve snagged you? Have you ever been in a relationship with someone who made you feel crazy because of their ability to seem SO great in front of the neighbours but be SO different behind closed doors? What about a boss who steals your ideas, your thunder and your inspiration…Or a parent who always made your life about them? According to our guest today, chances are you’ve been tussling with a Narcissist. Narcissism is a word that has well and truly entered the zeitgeist but how well do we really understand it? What are the red flags? What do we DO if we realise we’re in a relationship with one? Margi Bowden is a counsellor and coach and, importantly, a Narcissism expert and she has ALL the answers for you. You can learn more about Margi’s work by following her on Instagram Listen to our episode with Patric Gagne about life as a sociopath here Listen to our episode with David Gillespie about psychopaths here THE END BITS: Listen to more No Filter interviews here and follow us on Instagram here.

There’s a reason why behavioural scientist Dr Ali Fenwick is one of the most followed relationship & psychology accounts on social media (and it’s not just his fantastic dancing). In this special episode of No Filter, Clare Stephens explores the real meaning behind the red flags and the green flags we encounter in our relationships with others - from romantic partners to family, the workplace and friendships - Dr Ali Fenwick provides a clear framework for better communication, healthier boundaries, and happier relationships. Do you think you know what to do when you encounter a red flag? Think again: because it turns out, running away isn’t always the best idea. You can follow Dr Ali Fenwick on Instagram here.
