  • It’s Not Your Fault: Gaslighting, Fragile Accountability, and Invisible Labor

    It’s Not Your Fault: Gaslighting, Fragile Accountability, and Invisible Labor
    Jan 12 2026
    Why do so many women leave conversations feeling confused, guilty, or like everything is somehow their fault? In this episode of the Advancing Women Podcast, we dive into the subtle but corrosive relational patterns that show up in everyday work and home dynamics. The quiet processes that shift responsibility, distort accountability, and erode self-trust over time. We explore: DARVO” a defensive pattern (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender) that flips accountability and turns the person raising concerns into the “problem”Gaslighting: not the buzzword, but the researched process that erodes trust in your own perceptions over time, especially in unequal power dynamicsFragile accountability: when feedback is experienced as attack, reasonable expectations feel persecutory, and responsibility collapses under discomfortInvisible labor: the mental, emotional, and logistical work women disproportionately carry, and how it fuels the “nagging” trap This episode explains why these dynamics feel so disorienting, how they thrive in gendered systems, and what changes when we finally name them clearly. If you’ve ever wondered: Why you’re always apologizingWhy accountability conversations go nowhereWhy you feel responsible without having real authority This episode offers language, clarity, and release from misplaced guilt. Key takeaway: You’re not imagining it. These are known patterns. Naming them doesn’t make you difficult, it makes you awake. And clarity is where advancing begins.

    Choosing Yourself: Reflections and Intentions for the Year Ahead
    Dec 29 2025
    Episode Description: Welcome, warriors, to the final episode of the year! In this reflective, heart-centered conversation, we pause to honor everything this year asked of us, explore the importance of choosing ourselves, and set intentions for the year ahead, not as a “new year, new you” exercise, but as an invitation to care for and prioritize ourselves with compassion. We dive into: The power of choosing yourself as a practice, with intentionWhy resting, slowing down, and doing less is revolutionary for womenHow perfectionism, “prove-it-again” bias, & societal expectations shape our livesReflections on community, support, and the collective wisdom of the Advancing Women Podcast Along the way, we revisit some of the year’s most resonant AWP episodes: Permission to Pause: Can We Stop Doing and Just Be for a Minute?: Exploring why productivity has become a stand-in for worth and why rest is essential.Go Little: Comfort, Joy, and the Art of Doing Less: Redefining success and learning to embrace the meaningfulness of “small” actions and joy.There Is a Crack in Everything: That’s How the Light Gets In: Inspired by Leonard Cohen’s lyric and Kintsugi, exploring perfectionism, resilience, and honoring the cracks in our lives. This episode is a reminder that choosing yourself isn’t selfish, it’s necessary. It’s about creating space, breathing room, and radical permission to prioritize your needs and growth. Thank you for walking this journey with me, for being part of our warrior community, and for showing up for yourself and each other. Episode Highlights / Key Takeaways: Choosing yourself is a skill or personality trait. It’s a practice that comes from small, intentional actions.Reflection and pausing are just as valuable as action and productivity.The cracks in our lives aren’t failures; they are opportunities for growth, wisdom, and light.Community matters: you are not alone in navigating all the things…Intentions are powerful even if resolutions aren’t perfectly kept; the act of aiming toward growth is what matters. Let’s Reflect: Take a moment to journal or reflect: What does “choosing yourself” look like for you right now?Where in your life can you create more space, permission, or breathing room?How can you step into the new year with intention, hope, and self-compassion?
