In this episode of the Narcissism Recovery Podcast, Yitz Epstein tackles the often-overlooked issue of boredom and how it can impact our well-being. He explains that boredom isn't just about having nothing to do; it's a signal that something deeper might be missing in our lives. Maybe it's a lack of purpose, a monotonous routine, or difficulty being present in the moment.
