Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Secrets of the Narcissist Mind with Tracy Malone
Q: In terms of post-divorce, what is the most common abuse that you see in these relationships?
Tracy notes financial abuse and interference with child-related expenses as common issues, followed by coercive control and withholding resources, and stresses building comprehensive financial plans and clear reimbursement expectations.
Secrets of the Narcissist Mind with Tracy Malone
Q: What about in terms of communication between co-parents? What's some advice you could give our listeners on how to communicate with their ex?
The host and guest emphasize keeping emotions in check, using brief, informative, and friendly communication, and documenting conversations in apps or emails to create a clear record and reduce opportunities for manipulation.
Secrets of the Narcissist Mind with Tracy Malone
Q: I know that you're a big advocate for parallel parenting. Could you define that for us and help us understand how parallel parenting might be a good solution for these types of challenged relationships?
She explains that parallel parenting accepts that each parent will operate independently at the other home, with strong boundaries and a structured parenting plan to reduce conflict and protect children, while tools and rules are formalized to minimize manipulation and coercive behavior.
Secrets of the Narcissist Mind with Tracy Malone
Q: Tell us a little bit about how you got into this line of work supporting people that are going through narcissistic abuse and these sorts of challenges.
Tracy Malone shares her personal journey from not recognizing narcissism to building training and coaching programs after surviving a torturous divorce. She explains how she learned about narcissistic behavior, set boundaries, started groups, and eventually became a coach and educator helping others heal and navigate legal and parenting challenges.
How to Protect Your Peace in a High-Conflict Divorce with Karen Covy
Q: What was the moment you realized the legal system wasn't enough and you had to step in?
Covy describes a shift from traditional litigation to more holistic, client-centered approaches after seeing how the system treated cases and realizing there was a gap between what lawyers do and what clients actually need—coaching, guidance, and a practical plan.
