Tea with Botha: Episode 8 - Loving a narcissist with Lerato Dube

In this episode of Tea with Botha, we are joined by Lerato Dube, an executive career coach, mentor, and author. Lerato will delve into the complexities of narcissism and share insights on what it’s like to love a narcissist.
Loving a narcissist can be both captivating and exhausting. Initially, their charm and confidence draw you in, but over time, cracks appear. Their insatiable need for admiration often leaves little room for genuine emotional connection. You find yourself navigating a minefield of ego-driven behaviours-gaslighting, manipulation, and emotional rollercoasters. Despite the challenges, some stay, hoping to heal or change the narcissist. Others eventually realise that self-preservation matters more. It's a delicate dance between love and self-preservation, where boundaries become lifelines.
