I'm joined by Lizzie, a 28 year old who opens up about falling for a narcissistic sociopath and finding out he married someone else while they were dating. She shares how he isolated her from her family, how they planned to move in together, and the warning signs she missed along the way. We hear what led her to think he might be hiding something and how she went about finding proof before confronting him. Finally, she shares how she connected with other women he was doing the same thing to and the personal growth journey that she went on after ending the relationship.
Lizzie mentions two books that helped her heal – "Psychopath Free" by Jackson Mackenzie and "Whole Again" by Jackson Mackenzie. She recommends you read them in that order.

So you're probably wondering why I'm in your feed today. I wanted to share my new favorite podcast, FML Talk. If you’ve been royally f%cked over in life, this is the place for you. Host Gabrielle Stone had the rug ripped out from underneath her not once, but twice, by the paws of shitty men. But instead of landing flat on her ass, she built a career out of it. Penning her best-selling tell-all, Eat, Pray, #FML was not enough; the fans demanded more tea, and thus, this very podcast was born. FML Talk has since become a safe place for you to commiserate, heal, have a (self-love) cocktail, and laugh your ass off, as Gabrielle welcomes incredible guests to share their perspective on love, sex, heartbreak, trauma, and getting the f%ck over it all. Your weekly dose of therapy — with f-bombs and no bullsh*t advice…you won’t want to miss a session!
If you like what you hear, subscribe and listen to FML Talk every Wednesday wherever you get your podcasts. Follow FML Talk on Instagram @fmltalkpodcast and Gabrielle @gabriellestone.
