What does it really take to stop repeating toxic patterns? To finally choose yourself after trauma, addiction, and emotional chaos?
In this episode of WTF is on My Mind?!, I sit down with Jared Mello — aka The Wizard of Radical Self-Respect — to unpack the brutal, beautiful road to reclaiming yourself after abuse, addiction, and entanglement with toxic systems and people.
Find Jared Mello Online:
Jared is a coach, content creator, and advocate for survivors of narcissistic abuse and coercive control. He brings lived experience: childhood dysfunction, undiagnosed neurodivergence, addiction, trauma, and relationships with narcissistic and borderline partners. Out of that crucible came a powerful philosophy: Radical Self-Respect — the inner work that helps you stop outsourcing your worth and start protecting your peace.
We cover:
- Jared’s journey from addiction and chaos to grounded leadership
- How narcissistic abuse shows up in romantic and family systems
- The overlap (and difference) between trauma and autism
- Male survivors, man-hating trends, and breaking silence
- Why clarity isn’t the same as healing
- Cults, image management, and sneaky-fucker-fish (yes, really)
- Small, concrete steps you can take TODAY to start respecting yourself
