I’m MK Conrad, and I know firsthand what it feels like to be caught in the riptide of narcissistic manipulation. I’ve swum with those sharks through toxic waters and somehow managed to come out—bitten, but alive.

My mission now is to shed light on the insidious nature of narcissistic abuse and offer guidance for fellow survivors on their path to recovery. Because let’s be honest—dealing with a narc is like being stranded in the middle of the ocean with a shark nibbling at your toes.

Before I became an author and book development editor, I was a teacher. I hold degrees in Education, Psychology, and Creative Writing, and I was inspired to write books about the horrors of narcissism—but always with a focus on healing.
