It's Your Loss Podcast: Episode 11 - From I to We

Have a loss you want to get out there?Have grief symptoms that others might deem unusual?Get in touch.sittinwithyou@gmail.comJohnny didn’t just lose relationships — he lost who he thought he was. In this episode, he and Michael talk through what it means to come face to face with your own flaws, especially the ones that have hurt people you love. They dig into Johnny’s path from self-protection and pride to therapy, faith, and the kind of honesty that rebuilds you from the inside out. It’s a conversation about grief — not just for lost marriages, but for the old self you have to let go of to grow. Together, they explore how narcissism forms, what it takes to untangle from it, and why vulnerability might be the real sign of strength.Chapters00:00 Opening Ramblings, Post Mother's Day02:28 Introduction, Banter06:10 The Whole Reason I Do This Show08:54 The Waving of the Red Flags11:24 Therapy, Faith, and Denial13:57 A Narcissist is Born18:31 Navigating Group Dynamics in Therapy21:22 The Struggle of Authenticity24:28 Transformative Relationships and Self-Discovery29:25 Life Outside Therapy: Rebuilding and Relationships32:34 Exploring New Identities38:03 Spiritual Awakening and Personal Growth43:54 Navigating Online Criticism and Personal Growth44:23 Finally Understanding the Whole Narcissism Thing46:49 Emerging as Something Familiar but New52:10 Building Healthy Relationships and Communication55:04 Embracing Vulnerability and Acceptance58:16 The Importance of Community and Support01:01:35 Winding Down and Closing OutMusic by Guilherme Silva (On Fiverr: https://www.fiverr.com/guimoraes)Official Intro by Suzana J (Her website: https://www.suzanasvoice.com/)
