Welcome to Episode 2 of Series 2 where we dive into a topic we're deeply passionate about: Gaslighting. We discuss how we've encountered this in a multitude of ways in both our personal and professional lives as well as how women with prior experiences of sexual or physical violence may be more susceptible to gaslighting. We touch on the many ways women might experience gaslighting in the corporate environment, how our experience with it spurred us into writing our book and starting this podcast (!) and how to deal with gaslighting when it happens. We know this is something many women encounter all too often so we hope you'll finish this episode feeling supported and ready to challenge gaslighting when it next rears it ugly head.
