Ich bin Charissa und meine Empfehlung an alle Entrepreneure, startet mit Shopify erfolgreich durch. Ich verwende Shopify schon seit dem ersten Tag und die Plattform macht mir nie Probleme. Ich habe viele Probleme, aber die Plattform ist nie eins davon. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass Shopify ihre Plattform kontinuierlich optimiert. Alles ist super einfach, integrier- und verlinkbar.

Menschen schrinken, um in diesen Verhältnissen zu bleiben und im Grunde ihre Leben im Service zu ermutigen, zu lieben, auf Eierschlägen zu gehen. Es nimmt definitiv einen psychologischen Druck auf Menschen.

Her Buch, It's Not You, is a lifeline. And she's giving us the tools that we need to spot narcissistic behavior, shut down gaslighting and get out with our sanity and our self-worth intact.

People say, if you were to say one thing that could hedge against getting too deep into a narcissistic relationship, here's a therapist hack. Let's get into it. Dr. Ramani, ich bin so gespannt, dass du heute hier bist. Oh, ich bin so froh, hier in Tamsin zu sein. Ich liebe es, was du für Frauen, mit Frauen machst und diese Konversation zu haben.

98.123 - 108.629 Dr. Ramani Durvasula

Ich denke, vielleicht 25 Jahre her war ich so, oh, was auch immer. Und jetzt, meine Lieben, bin ich auf dem Perimenopausen-Downslope hier. Na ja, wir haben dich, also keine Sorge.

108.669 - 122.197 Tamsen Fadal

Wir werden es auf den Upslope machen. Es wird gut sein. Ich liebe es. Es wird gut sein. Dein Buch ist einfach gewaltig und faszinierend. Und ich weiß, So many women have brought it up to me. And so I knew I had to have you on this podcast. Thank you.
