Gaslighting is one of the most searched words right now—and for good reason!

In this episode of The Road Leads Back to Me, Coral breaks down what gaslighting really is, why it happens, and how to recognize it in your relationships, career, and everyday interactions.

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that makes you question your own reality, your feelings, and even your memory. It’s confusing, uncomfortable, and often difficult to confront—but once you learn how to “clock it,” everything changes.

Coral walks you through:

• What gaslighting actually is (and what it isn’t)
• Common phrases and behaviors to look out for
• Why gaslighting makes you feel like you can’t trust yourself
• How it shows up in dating, friendships, and the workplace
• The role of self-worth and boundaries in breaking the cycle
• What to do in the moment when you feel it happening

Through real-life examples and a trauma-informed lens, Coral gives you the tools to ground yourself, trust your intuition, and stop second-guessing your lived experience.

Because you are not crazy.
And you deserve honesty, respect, and emotional safety.

And always remember, the road always leads back to you!
