You know that feeling when someone twists reality so cleanly you start questioning your own memory? Homie… this is your episode.

Celebrity divorce attorney James Sexton is here and he’s breaking down the brutal truth about narcissists, betrayal, and the relationship “slow leaks” that quietly destroy love… plus what to do when you’re trying to leave but safety, money, or kids make it complicated.

Here’s exactly what we dive into:
The psychological games narcissists use to keep you off balance (and how to stop playing)

The courtroom strategies that expose lies and protect your credibility

Why “the nanny” becomes a fantasy (and what that reveals about novelty, power, and proximity)

The different types of cheating (and which ones are actually survivable)

The real conversation every couple should have BEFORE they get married — including divorce
