In this episode of The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach Podcast, we're diving into a topic that many of us don't even realize we're dealing with—self-gaslighting. Now, you've probably heard of gaslighting in the context of relationships, but what about when we do it to ourselves? Yep, that's right! Sometimes we're our own worst critics, especially when it comes to making important changes in our health, relationships, and work-life after breast cancer. I'll walk you through how self-gaslighting can show up in your life—like when you convince yourself that your healthy food choices are "too strict," or when you stay stuck in relationships or jobs that no longer serve your healing because you think, "Maybe I'm just overreacting." Spoiler alert: you're not! And I'm here to help you trust that inner voice that's pushing you toward the life you truly deserve. We'll talk about how to recognize those subtle, yet damaging, moments when we downplay our needs or second-guess our instincts. Whether it's feeling like your food choices aren't valid, ignoring relationship red flags, or sticking with a stressful job that drains you—it's all part of the self-gaslighting cycle. But don't worry—we won't just stop at identifying the problem. I'll give you actionable tips to start trusting your instincts, embracing your emotions, and feeling confident in the changes you're making to live a life you love. If you're ready to stop doubting yourself and start honoring the person you've become, this episode is for you. Tune in, and let's work together to break free from self-gaslighting and step into a more confident, empowered version of yourself.
