Heyooo deep conversationalists, Meg and Fran are back! This time we’re talking about self-gaslighting. This might be a new term for you, but we discover that we’ve done this almost our whole lives. We talk about what it is and how we start unlearning it and make space for ourselves. What’s your experience been like with self-gaslighting?

TIMESTAMPS:

(00:01:28): Glows and Grows, Melange of Vices

(00:10:41): Pt. 1 of Self-Gaslighting (Link to IG post below). What is gaslighting? The signs. Meg’s past relationship w/ these signs. Do women go through gaslighting more? Is gaslighting a symptom of systemic societal issues? What is “self-gaslighting?” Invalidating our own feelings. Honoring emotions and giving ourselves space. Emotions looked at as a weakness. Product = quality vs. quantity? Devaluing grief, devaluing anxiety. Unraveling takes work, investment. Need to be made of Teflon.

(00:40:12): Pt. 2: Ways to unlearn gaslighting – self-affirming phrases. My feelings are there for a reason. Amplify your affirmations. Self-limiting beliefs. Auto-suggestion. Hardwiring happiness. Our well-being as spokes on a wheel. It’s not called “work” for nothing.

(01:01:37): What We’re Loving This Week: Taste the Nation, Insider “Pro Acting Coach” series (extra rec: Nic Cage flipping a shit YouTube compilation), Morgan Harper Nichols on Pinterest, Society Six; LOVE IS BLIND SIDE CONVO; Brené Brown for Quote of the Day; “a Hard 75.”
