This week, Barb and Michelle are continuing the manipulation series by tackling this tough and common manipulation tactic: Gaslighting. They’re sharing examples from their personal lives on how gaslighting can present itself along with tips to take your power back.


In this episode, they talk about:

  • Awareness is the key to recognizing gaslighting
  • Gaslighting is a sneaky, disorienting, and gradual form of abuse
  • Gaslighters sow doubt and erode your own trust in yourself
  • How to take back your power and instill a new sense of confidence in yourself
