In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of gaslighting. If you've ever been labeled as “insecure,” “crazy,” or “jealous” and started questioning your own reality, or had hurtful comments brushed off as “just a joke,” this conversation is for you. Shannon, a Licensed Professional Counselor and survivor of narcissistic abuse, shares her expertise and personal experience, proving that anyone—even those trained in recognising abuse—can fall victim.

We explore what it means to be a narcissist and how gaslighting works, including real-life examples from listeners. Shannon also explains how gaslighting can happen to anyone, regardless of their background, and how toxic behavior doesn’t always mean someone is a narcissist. We talk about the complexities of gaslighting, including how even well-meaning parents can engage in it unintentionally.

Shannon sheds light on complex PTSD, the self-blame victims often experience, and how trauma bonding keeps people tied to their abusers. We also discuss the importance of recognising gaslighting without overusing the term, which can invalidate real abuse survivors.

Finally, Shannon offers insights on how to protect yourself in toxic dynamics and highlights some specialist therapies for those recovering from abusive relationships, including Brainspotting, Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR.

Content note: If this episode brings up difficult emotions for you, please reach out to a local mental health professional or a trauma-trained therapist.

Today with Louise, Director of The Innocence Project London, we talk about what they do for the wrongfully convicted.

Dr Louise Hewitt has many accolades but the one that stands out to me is the pro bono work she’s been doing for over 13 years at the Innocence Project London (IPL). 

We go over:

+ Claiming back your innocence and why it’s such a lengthy process?

+ Are the requirements to get your case reviewed fair or not?

+ Various types of wrongful convictions: Joint enterprise liability & mistaken eyewitness identification.

+ How good storytelling from a prosecutor can sway a jury against you.

+ How does she know if her clients are genuinely innocent and not just playing her?

+ Is anyone more vulnerable to be wrongfully convicted?

+ The look of innocence: our misconceptions and ideas. Are there parameters in place to combat bias in the justice system?

+ Different categories of prison.

+ Even when exonerated, can you ever remove the stain - Is that injustice ever made right again?

+ What to do if you’re arrested for a crime you didn’t do. 

+ The lack of legal aid funding and how she keeps going. 

+ The empathy for the individuals in prison as being part of our society. 

+ The ripple effect of the innocence project.

+ Could a world without IPL ever exist?

+ The future of IPL.

+ Being pardoned and wanting your name back.

Mentioned in the episode: Maria Konnikova (journalist) & John Huffington (exonerated) 

This is an episode that is very important to me, what the Innocence Project London does is not easy but very important work that requires tenacity and support. I hope this episode will go some way in giving them support.

Are we the only civilization in the universe? Are we being visited by ‘aliens’ or are there other intelligent beings already among us that we can’t see, called earth aliens? What is real and what is a hoax?   

UFOs now rebranded as UAPs to stop men in suit giggling, are now part of the mainstream conversation, and one of the pivotal moments for that was when the Pentagon ‘declassified’ those 3 videos. And now that Frederik Dirks Gottlieb started a podcast called ‘Flyvende tallerken’ aka flying saucer on the biggest radio station in Denmark (called: Danmarks Radio aka DR) well the conversation is now truly out in the open!

I am so excited to bring him to you and share his podcast with you all! Frederik went into his podcast ‘Flyvende tallerken’ with an open mind and it shows with the big array of guests he’s interviewed from: Luis Elizondo to Mick West without forgetting Avi Loeb and his co-host Anja C. Andersen, an astro-physicist at the Niehls Bohr institute, who’s by his side every week to help us understand the science behind it all.

Frederik is a Danish podcaster, journalist, film producer, radio & TV host, creator and host of the VERY popular ‘Flyvende tallerken’, and together we discuss all things UAPs and what it means for us as humans and our reality, if we even really know what that is….

Today we talk about how we both sank on the 2020 boat and what helped us bounce back. Both with very different surroundings and support systems.



*Content note: this episode discusses anxiety and suicide prevention, discretion is advised*



We go over:

• How to deal with a crisis.


• When your livelihood is taken away from you, how to cope so you can move on to your next chapter?


• In order to be the best parent for your kids, you sometimes need to prioritise yourself.


• To quote Jordan: “That’s the thing with mental illness. As your life changes, so does the illness, and you have to adapt.” If a coping mechanism doesn't work anymore, drop it and replace it with something else, don’t stunt your process.


• When you’re feeling depressed or anxious, how do we convey how we’re feeling without freaking people out or making them feel powerless?


• When mental health issues are part of who we are, we shouldn’t apologise for that.


• We all have mental health.


• When pulling away from your partner because you’re ashamed of showing them your mental health, that can be a breach of trust.


• Why spreading the message and exposing herself like this, is so important for Jordan.


• The 5 warning signs your friend may not be doing well and needs you to check in [WHAP which stands for Withdrawal - Hopelessness - Agitation - Poor self care &/or Personality change].


• The Upper limit problem.

Book referenced: The Big Leap

*Recorded in November 2020

We cover:

• How we’re all justified in our mind to believe what we believe. We didn’t get there for no reason, we have history, proof or trauma that makes us convinced - for better or worse.


• Why do people only want others to co-sign on their opinions, and not what will challenge it.


• When genuine, good movements, get taken over by people with bad intent.


• Cognitive dissonance and symptoms of emotional abuse from 2020.


• Identity politics: How to have a conversation with someone who stands in complete opposition to our beliefs and how to lead with curiosity, not judgement.


• To enter a debate and how-to counter productively by removing emotions.


• The coddled and validated society is causing a lot of damage and hurt in today’s society.


• Why it’s not ok for trolling behaviour, masking behind any movement, to be tolerated.


• Should we be embarrassed by our partners' political views in public?


• How certain communities have been more unfairly hit by 2020 (pandemic, job losses and more).

Why compatibility isn’t what we think it is.

+ The first year is not always a smooth sailing, problem-free honeymoon, Kalanit explains why some of us stumble in the first year whilst others on the seventh. Neither are a good or bad sign but it’s how you handle it that’s key.

+ How to deal with conflicts with our partners and why they are “gold” in the IMAGO philosophy. 

+ How to grow and become a better partner for them or the next one (they leave, they lose).

+ How to forgive ourselves and our partner - feelings of guilt and shame, anyone?

+ Why it’s important to not paint your partner as the bad one during conflicts but to remember the good parts.

+ How to express an issue without it being a big deal aka without your partner feeling attacked.

+ How to not lose yourself in a relationship and why it happens.

+ Knowing the difference between: Needing space in service for yourself or in service for the relationship?

+ Is breaking up always the end?

We go over:

// What we want and need and how that influences your home and sense of belonging.

// What do we need to feel at home anywhere in the world?

// How we can achieve that even on a budget.

// Expat, immigrant, local, how do we all really feel?

// Our home needs to change with us, as we grow and evolve as people, the reflection of ourselves will change too. So how does this all tie into being expat/immigrant or what Nic has renamed being a local, and having a sense of belonging.

Tune in to see how.

And if you're worried it’ll be boring science, don’t worry, you're getting:

// Some ammo for those annoying friends trying to convince you to do the same diet as them.

// The words snootch and topless do come up in the episode and yes it’s relevant...

Shannon Higgins, a Licensed Professional Counselor is herself a survivor to thriver of narcissistic abuse from her ex-husband, this took place well after she specialized in her field of abuse. This can truly happen to anyone.

*Content note: this episode discusses abusive relationships, discretion is advised, if you experience any unease from this, please contact a local mental health helpline or a Trauma Trained Therapist*

We go over:

// What is a narcissist? There’s a spectrum, including the healthy kind.

// What is gaslighting?

// I read your submission of real life gaslighting stories both at the beginning & at the end of the episode.

// You don’t have to have had a toxic childhood to be a target of gaslighting.

// Not all gaslighters are narcissists, they can simply be toxic people but not actual narcissists.

// Is gaslighting always intentional, even when parents do it?

// How & why people become gaslighters.

// How to deal with a gaslighting parent.

// Complex PTSD.

// Why we think it’s our fault when we’re being gaslighted.

// The signs that you’re being gaslighted.

// The Human Magnet & Trauma Bonding Syndromes.

// Why gaslighters thrive on targeting successful people.

// Abuse amnesia and cognitive dissonance.

// The importance of not throwing the label out ‘just because’ someone doesn’t cater to our every whim or just isn’t a very good communicator as it invalidates those who really go through such a destructive ordeal of being emotionally abused and vilifies those who simply lack a skill but aren’t malicious.

// The difference between pushing back because we are secure versus gaslighting.

// Why some find it harder to ask and express what they need which in turns enables a toxic relationship.

// What specialist therapies Shannon recommends if you suffered from an abusive relationship (be it intimate or from a parent).

// It doesn’t always look like a big deal (but it is!) & why the outside world does not understand your situation and often blame the victim to be the instigator.

For current therapies, you can look up a Trauma Trained Therapist that uses one or a combo of these therapies:

// Brain Spotting is phenomenal and has long term benefits.

// Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.

// Somatic Experiencing Therapy.

// EMDR.

// Brainspotting.
