This week’s permission slip comes with a little extra spice—and a whole lot of truth.

Kiwanis is calling out a trend that’s been heavy on her heart: the overuse of the word “gaslighting.”

While real gaslighting is serious and damaging, not every misunderstanding or painful relationship deserves that label. Healing is messy, complicated, and not always wrapped up in trending buzzwords.

This episode is your reminder that honesty and peace matter more than fitting your story into someone else’s narrative.

Key Takeaways

• Real gaslighting is serious, but not every hurtful experience is emotional abuse.
• Misunderstandings and imperfect relationships don’t always equal manipulation.
• Overusing the word “gaslighting” can minimize the true experiences of survivors.
• Healing is about telling the full, messy truth—not just assigning blame.
• Some things don’t need a label—they just need your honesty, forgiveness, and peace.

Let’s normalize messy, honest growth without edits.

This week’s episode is for every woman who’s ever said, "I’m tired," but struggled to explain why.

Inspired by the real, raw reality of carrying an invisible mental load, Kiwanis breaks down why it’s not just what you do that’s exhausting—it’s what you carry that nobody sees.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re juggling a thousand things in your head while smiling on the outside, this one’s for you. You are not crazy. You are carrying more than most people realize. And you’re allowed to rest.

Key Takeaways

• The "invisible to-do list" is the mental load nobody sees—but you still feel every day.
• Midlife adds extra layers to that invisible list: kids, parents, careers, health, and dreams.
• Chronic tiredness isn’t always about physical exhaustion—it’s emotional and mental, too.
• You deserve to set boundaries, ask for help, and honor your unseen work without guilt.

Let’s build a world where rest isn’t earned—it’s honored.

This week’s permission slip is a deep exhale in audio form. Inspired by a real-life meltdown moment and the wisdom of The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins, Kiwanis shares how one simple phrase—“Let them”—can be the reset you didn’t know you needed. If you’ve ever felt like everything’s on fire and you’re the only one holding the extinguisher, this episode is your reminder: you don’t have to fix it all. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do… is breathe.

Key Takeaways
• “Let them” is not about giving up—it’s about letting go.
• You don’t have to explain, defend, or fix everything around you.
• Your peace is more important than someone else’s perception.
• You’re allowed to walk away, take a breath, and choose yourself without guilt.
