Break Your Ego, Find Your Soul: Recent Episodes
Ramsey Bergeron
For a large part of my life, my approach to well-being was broken. I obsessively used athletics, fame, women, and accomplishments to find my meaning. But it was never enough. And then in 2019, everything changed. While in Ireland to compete in the Ironman triathlon, I pulled the car over to the side of a country road and had a revelation that changed my life forever: I was only ever as good as my last accomplishment. No amount of finish lines, movie roles, clients, or sponsorships would be fulfilling. I broke my ego and found my soul. Since then I have been able to bring my coaching to a new level. I guide my clients with the understanding that all elements of well-being as essential to living a profoundly meaningful life. It's reignited my passion for being of service to others by helping them find clarity in an overwhelming world. This podcast is a story of my journey and my travels around the world as I continue to find my true self.

According to the National Institute of Health, 15% of the general population has a disorder that falls into cluster B which includes antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder, and narcissistic personality disorder. That’s one and every seven people. But most of us don’t know anything about these disorders or warning signs to look for when we enter into a relationship. In this video, I’ll discuss with Stephania Renee and Tish Toon about toxic relationships we have encountered, red flags to look for, and how to heal when managing to get out of one. (Note: a true diagnosis of a personality disorder should be left to professionals. We are not professionals. In this episode, we talk about the behaviors we have witnessed and how they correlate to certain personality disorders which do exist on a spectrum. The views reflected here are our own opinions and should not be considered to be those of trained psychiatric professionals. If you believe you or someone you care about may be suffering from these or any other forms of mental illness, or have suffered abuse from someone who has a mental illness, please seek professional help. ) Show notes: Cluster B Definitions https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/what-are-cluster-b-personality-disorders Psychopath Free on Amazon https://amzn.to/3FIQR8B signs you’re getting love bombed https://www.insider.com/love-bomb?amp Cluster B Personality Test: https://psymed.info/personality-disorder-test-cluster-b
