After leaving a narcissistic or toxic relationship, healing can feel like crossing a minefield. David Staab explains how conditioning rewires the mind, why compassion plus accountability unlock change, and how firm loving boundaries, discernment, and intentional solitude help you return to your authentic self. Includes practical red flags, memory processing, and live Q&A.

David Staab explores “Know thyself” as a path of mastery through deep self-reflection. He explains how identity-based beliefs (politics, diets, labels) can create mental “glass ceilings” and trigger defensiveness. True growth comes from observing without judgment, valuing lived wisdom over credentials, and building practices like journaling, stillness meditation, and pattern awareness to stay grounded in your truth.

David Staab breaks down why discernment matters in spiritual spaces, especially for people in “service” roles. He explains the difference between service-to-self (control, ego, gaining at others’ expense) and service-to-others (empowerment, liberation, love). David shares practical red flags like absolutist messaging, “God told me” claims, shaming, and sales manipulation, plus green flags like humility, accountability, and guiding you back to yourself.
