Summary
This week we are deep diving into this term that is popping up everywhere, Gaslighting. Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that attempts to make individuals question their own reality in order to gain power and control over them. And, the scary thing is- it can happen to anyone. There is good news though and Kat is going solo this week to make sure we all know that there is a way to get out of these kinds of tangled webs. Listen this week to gain a better understanding of what Gaslighting actually is, how to spot it, and what to do when you feel like you are being gas lit.

| 0:33.0 | I thought I was insane. Yeah. |
| 0:35.1 | And I didn't know what to do because there was no internet. |
| 0:37.8 | I don't know. Man, I'm like, I feel like everything is hard. |

| 1:10.2 | It's another solo episode day here. And this week, |
| 1:13.8 | we're talking about something that I've talked about a little bit before, but I've never actually |
| 1:19.5 | dedicated an entire episode about it on here. And I think it is about time because there's |
