Dear readers,
Thank you for being here and for all the support you’ve given me this year to read and listen to my perspectives on narcissism. I’m grateful for all the comments, discussions and email conversations with readers who are also exploring narcissism in their personal and professional relationships to more effectively navigate challenging behaviour. I’m also excited when I read comments reflecting a reader’s self-examination as they tackle their own narcissistic traits and strive to hack them.
This year has seen substantial growth of readership and paid subscription, which tells me that my work is valued and needed. I appreciate all my subscribers and the enthusiasm for my work, including spreading the word among your network. If you can, please consider becoming a paid subscriber so you can access all my content and continue to support me to provide independent, original, practical and in-depth content about narcissism and relationships that you won’t find elsewhere. I’ve included some examples of my greatest hits of 2022 below.
I have plans for 2023 to continue to help us all hack narcissism - a content series to sharpen critical thinking skills, guides to work with emotions more effectively and effective communication guides to navigate hierarchical relationships. I will make most posts public and accessible for a short period of time and more detailed pieces will continue to be accessible to paid subscribers. Thank you again for making all of this possible and to enable me to develop independence as a writer on this incredible platform.
Question for you all: What would you like me to cover in 2023? Would you like more audio/video content solo/with guests? Which guests? What content is the most valuable to you? Please respond in the comment below!
Happy New Year and I wish you a smooth transition to 2023. May we all be supported to navigate tricky relationships and liberate from the web of suffering!
