  • Want to Make Co-Parenting with a Narcissist Easier? Here's How to Filter Their Toxic Messages
    May 11 2026

    Co-parenting with a narcissist shouldn't mean bracing for impact every time your phone buzzes.

    This week, Sol Kennedy — creator of the AI co-parenting app BestInterest — joins Dr. Kerry to reveal how artificial intelligence is finally stepping in as a buffer, filtering out the threats, the manipulation, and the chaos before it reaches you.

    Sol shares what courts still don't understand about narcissistic abuse, why most co-parenting apps make the conflict worse, and how even one parent using Best Interest can change the entire dynamic — without needing the narcissist to agree.

  • Confessions of a Womanizer: "How I Became a Narcissist's Perfect Victim"
    May 4 2026

    What happens when the man who spent years love bombing and manipulating women becomes the victim of the very same tactics?

    This week, Wade Belair joins Dr. Kerry for a raw, unflinching conversation about the shocking overlap between closeted men and narcissistic abuse — and what genuine healing actually requires.

    Wade grew up the privileged son of an iconic retail brand founder — raised in an elite, hyper-masculine culture where conquest was currency, and vulnerability was weakness. He played the role perfectly for years: closeted, love bombing women, while living a dangerous double life.

    Now openly gay and two years out of a narcissistic abuse relationship, Wade speaks candidly about what it looks like when repression mimics narcissism and what real change actually requires.
