You’ve probably heard me talk about projection a lot, but what happens when someone flips it on you? Ever been called a 'projector' by a gaslighter just for expressing your feelings? Or had someone throw out that new-age line, 'What triggers you is your unhealed shadow,' as a way to avoid accountability? Let’s get clear on this: not everything is about you—sometimes, you’re simply reacting to real, harmful behavior.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the key differences between projection and manipulation, why people deflect instead of owning their actions, and how to spot gaslighting in action. I’ll share advice and tips to protect your peace and take control in those frustrating conversations.

This is my last episode of 2024 before I take a holiday break with my family, so let’s end the year strong. I’ll see you back here on January 16th for Season 6. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and have a safe and Happy New Year. Until then, stay grounded, protect your boundaries, and keep Loving Yourself Completely —you deserve it.
