Welcome to Deconstructing Gaslighting the podcast. I'm your host, Sarah Morales. Today's episode may be one of the most difficult I've ever done, and that's because the topic is SO TRICKY. It's also super, super important. So, I'm going to ask that you hang with us for a bit. If it feels like a sensitive topic to you, I invite you to give my guest and I just five to ten minutes to see our hearts and hear how we unpack today's topic. That topic is about the ways GASLIGHTING and religion intersects, and the myriad of ways that's playing out in both our individual and corporate lives. Bio: My guest today is no stranger to the pod... Ms. Jenni Rochelle!Story Time: Sarah and Jenni start by talking about the difference between faith (a belief) and religion (a system), in the hopes of setting the stage for a safe place to ask the questions and challenge any toxicity we may see in the religious systems we find ourselves in. They share some of the most common ways people experience religious GASLIGHTING/abuse. Top Take-Aways:Look for signs of religious gaslighting: feeling a LOT of fear, shame or coercion; experiencing isolation/being told not to trust “non-believers”; inconsistency in messaging and/or inconsistency between messaging and living things out; the dogma of there being only one “right” way (values; how to be a good person, etc.) and look for incongruence in yourself – when you can't “shake” a bad feeling in your gut/soul/body Give yourself permission to ask questions… and keep asking them and seek out answers from a variety of sources – not just ones that will reinforce what you've been told already by your “leaders”. Be willing/ready to sit in the cognitive dissonance that this kind of work creates – that means you're doing the work! Trust that the process will bring you to truth.If you want to understand more about the ways gaslighting has shown up in your life, and robbed you of knowing yourself, loving yourself, and trusting yourself, check out my website. I have offerings that will help you break the hold religious GASLIGHTING has had over you and help you step into self-trust and Radical self-love. I invite you to follow me on your preferred social media platform… I'm on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. And remember – you may have crashed and burned; been broke and hurt, but damn it, you're a phoenix and you're rising again. I think it's time we fly.
Love is an interesting thing. As both a word and a concept, it can be confusing, full of pressure, unrealistic expectations, and loss – AND, there are SO many ways we experience GASLIGHTING around what love is, how we should love, WHO we should love, where we find love, etc. And today, my guest and I will dive in to talk about the impact GASLIGHTING has had on this thing we call “LOVE”.

She is the host of the Beauty After Betrayal podcast with new episodes coming in 2024! Story Time: Sarah and Jenni talk about a number of ways GASLIGHTING has impacted this thing we call love - from the notion of "love of my life" to "Twin Flames" to misogynistic undertones. Top Take-Aways: You get to define love, by getting clear on the values that you would use to describe what love does/says, etc. Use bell hook's definition of love as "guardrails"/goals: "“Love is a combination of care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect, and trust.”Protect yourself from "Love-bombing" by not falling for the message that safe love = boring.

Doing Divorce Different A Podcast Guide to Doing Divorce Differently
In today's episode, we are joined by betrayal trauma specialist Jenni Rochelle. Jenni tells us about her experience with sex addiction, betrayal from her ex-husband, and how she got into her current field. She tells us about the three different stages of healing through betrayal. Jenni then dives into what it is like to start dating post betrayal and how to talk with the potential partner about what you've gone through and what triggers you may experience. Tune in for a realistic picture of hope after betrayal. In this episode: [1:14] Jenni introduces herself and discusses how she got into this field. [3:30] What is betrayal trauma? [4:25] When does betrayal become a level of trauma? [6:05] How did Jenni heal from her betrayal, and can the person who committed the betrayal heal? [9:07] What are the three stages of healing? [12:16] What does it feel like to trust someone to start dating again post betrayal? [16:29] What if someone hasn't healed from a betrayal? [19:35] Finding safety in your next relationship when triggers arise. Key Takeaways: People with sex addiction can heal, but it can take a long time. It can take 2-5 years for them to develop empathy. Everyone suffers. Different traumas are handled differently by everyone. There are big T traumas and little t traumas, but they are all trauma. Many trauma behaviors are labeled as co-dependencies, but they are actually a form of PTSD. Trauma is the gift that keeps on giving. The triggers will get less, but there can still be a tiny part of our minds that makes us second guess what's going on in our life with what happened in the past. Quotes: “Betrayal trauma is when a person or institution we rely on for safety and security betrays our trust.” “Look at all of your relationships and figure out the pattern of how you showed up over time.” “We can understand how we've been showing up in relationships, and it's typically unhealed and unprocessed trauma from when we were little girls. Nobody gets everything they need when they are little. So we're trying to work that out. Again it's not conscious. So when we can see that, we can understand and try to make choices differently in relationships.” Guest Bio: Jenni Rochelle is the founder of the Beauty After Betrayal™ community, which has helped hundreds of women reconnect with themselves, their bodies, and their beloveds. With a Masters in Spiritual Formation, she awakens women to their birthright of personal freedom. Jenni is also a thought leader in the field of betrayal trauma. Her podcast, Beauty After Betrayal, has helped thousands of women heal with hope and rise. Inspired by her clients and informed by her own journey, Jenni's work is focused on mentoring high-achieving, emotionally intelligent women to get out of their heads and into their bodies in order to shift their relationships. Jenni is a certified life coach trained according to the Multi-Dimensional Partner Trauma Model (MPTM) developed by the Association of Partners of Sex Addiction Trauma Specialists (APSATS).

I started the Beauty After Betrayal podcast because I wanted to share women's stories of hope and healing. My desire was that it would reach other women out in the world so they would know that they are not alone in their experiences, and to give them hope.Sometimes our life experiences can make us feel like we don't deserve, or that we've been cut off from, all the juicy stuff in life – pleasure, desire, sex, intimacy, and more.Well, I'm here to say, as is my guest today, that there is hope, healing, and goodness that is still available to you regardless of your story.One of my clients, Ellyn, is with us this week and I am so honored that she is going to share her story with all of us. It's a story of betrayal and the journey into healing that helped her claim her big comeback.Ellyn starts her story with her D-Day. She was on a weekend retreat with her ex where they were working on their marriage and their sex life. Before this point, she had always thought the issues in her marriage were her fault... because that's what her ex continually told her.A disclosure during that retreat blew the lid off of their marriage, and as she put it – "the veil dropped." She was finally able to put the pieces together of what the real problems in their partnership were. The porn, the affairs, the emotional abuse, the gaslighting... she broke through all of it with intense clarity and the disclosure actually provided her a moment of relief - she was not crazy.From this life-changing moment of realization, truth and clarity, Ellyn began her journey back to herself. She says that the first thing she had to be willing to do was look at herself and go within to start her healing process."I spent so much time over there trying to fix him, and putting my life on hold, that I forgot there was a 'me'." ~ EllynI invite you to listen to Ellyn's story as she outlines her painful but rewarding path to healing. It's a story you might recognize yourself in. Maybe it will even inspire your own comeback story.Xoxo, JenniConnect with Jenni:Join her Facebook group A Pleasure Full Life with Jenni Rochelle to participate in a private community of women who are ready to embrace their right to big love, great sex, and a pleasure full life!Want to feel like a queen for a day?

I had the joy of speaking to April Codd on this episode of the Beauty After Betrayal™ Podcast. April is the creator of this amazing coaching business called Love Yourself Sexy. How great is that??She's all about empowering women to love yourself just the way you are. She is your biggest cheerleader, your shoulder to cry on, and your mirror to reflect your beauty back to you.April is a momma and a wife who is balancing her life with her entrepreneurship (can I get an Amen??) while bringing women wisdom, embodiment, and real life experiences to help them grasp beautiful and sexy in their own bodies.She is passionate about helping woman love themselves exactly where they are at right now.April and I met at a goddess retreat in Miami where we had an instant connection and she is one of the most gorgeous and sexy women I've ever met because of the way she owns her sexiness.April shares with us how she was in a state of depression, anxiety and self-hatred for much of her life. From the time she was a kid, and way into adulthood, she had lots of people voicing their opinions about her weight.Her constant attempts of trying to be what everybody else wanted her to be consumed every aspect of her life. She tried to be the perfect mother, the perfect wife, the perfect employee, the perfect woman.... and then the pandemic happened.Tune in to hear how losing her job during the pandemic shifted her entire perspective on how she wanted to embody her self and her life, and how it was when she really started choosing herself for the first time."I feel the sexiest thing a woman can do is just be confident in herself, and love herself the most." ~April CoddApril shares with us the tools that she uses to keep her focus on self-love and self-acceptance, how these tools have made her a better parent, and how she now elevates other women and helps them embody their own revolutions to love themselves sexy.Xoxo, JenniJoin my FREE masterclass: How To Create "Everyday Intimacy" on April 7th at 6 PM CST in the Pleasure Full Life Facebook Group - Save Your Spot!----------------------------------Connect with April:Learn more about April and Love Yourself Sexy here.Follow April on Instagram.Join her online community Women's Self Love & Body Love Sisterhood on Facebook.Connect with Jenni:Join her Facebook group A Pleasure Full Life with Jenni Rochelle to participate in a private community of women who are ready to embrace their right to big love, great sex, and a pleasure full life!Want to feel like a queen for a day?

Have you ever found yourself questioning the ideas, opinions, or beliefs of those around you - whether that be your family, your church, your community, or even society at large – but not feel it's OKAY to question them? In today's episode, Sarah deconstructs how that could be due to gaslighting. Our guest today is the Queen of Intimacy, Jenni Rochelle! (https://jennirochelle.com/ (jennirochelle.com); Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejennirochelle/ (@thejennirochelle); Beauty After Betrayal https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beauty-after-betrayal/id1555122535 (podcast)) Word of the day: Indoctrinate: Falls under the umbrella of brainwashing, but different in that with indoctrination, the situations revolve around groups as opposed to 1:1. Here's the definition: to teach (someone) to fully accept the ideas, opinions, and beliefs of a particular group and to not consider other ideas, opinions, and beliefs. When deconstructing, Sarah pulls apart things that almost always overlap – think of H2O, or water. Two parts hydrogen, one part water. The gaslighting we experience in the religious, cultural, and societal constructs are like H2O – but it would be I2C: two parts indoctrinate, one part coercion. Basically, to be loved, approved, and accepted (or “worthy”/wanted), you have to align your ideas, opinions, and beliefs to theirs. Today, Sarah and Jenni explore the ways they experienced this revolving around the topic of sex. So, trigger warning…. Storytime: Sarah and Jenni talk about the ways they experienced gaslighting around sex – messages they were directly/indirectly told as they were growing up that led to these main beliefs: sex is not okay; sex is shameful. They further discussed the nuances of gaslighting around FEMINE sexuality, and the direct/indirect messages that led to these main beliefs: women aren't supposed to like sex; women give pleasure, we don't receive pleasure; women should be responsive - they shouldn't be initiators/we should wait. Deconstruction Zone: Grandmother/religion/culture/society = collective gaslighter. Through patriarchal and puritanical messages, the validity of questioning things was challenged Brainwashing/indoctrinated: there was only one “right” way to enjoy sex + the distortion that even just having curiosity was “sinful”; sinful = unacceptable = threat to the attachment (exclusion). Desire to be loved/accepted/included/wanted by others + the gaslighting = conflict between self-love and getting the love of others. Fell into explanation trap/negotiation trap… sacrificed truth/voice needs because the blame Jenni took on for the gap between what was being “taught” to her and what she felt in her knowing. WAY easier to do than take on a whole-ass construct! Repetition of this sacrificing = Jenni to become disconnected from self = unable to express own feelings/needs/perception (sexually repressed) Set Your Alarm: Jenni shared her tip of “Going slow is your super-power” – getting curious and ASKING the questions where you think/feel something different. To get clear about sexual things, specifically, work on getting in touch with your body; pay attention to the expansion/contraction. Set the snooze: Regarding the Explanation trap – pay attention to when the explanation does NOT bring relief/understanding, but rather causes more confusion, anxiety, and fear. Remember – it's not about becoming who you want to be, it's about awakening all that you already are! Have a question you'd like Sarah to answer?

You are invited to Our Universal (Re)Initiation Into Intimacy with this episode of the Beauty After Betrayal Podcast. This is one of those where I start with an idea or an experience of what I want to share but no idea what might actually come out of my mouth.My hope was to share with you how I have personally been experiencing the return of some of the most important, magical and mystical parts of my life. Namely, yoga retreats and live music.Both of those beloved experiences came fully back into my life on the same weekend this month and, as they did, I was deeply moved by how much I had missed them both!Tears came to my eyes when I walked into Stubb's and saw that it was packed with people who were all there to take part in this shared, powerful, kinesthetic experience…for the first time in two years.We were all there to see one of my favorite bands - Manchester Orchestra - whose album “A Black Mile to the Surface” I leaned on heavy for survival through running and scream singing throughout 2020 and 2021. To have this band be my reinitiation into live music…was perfection.Then the next morning…Jeff and I flew to Costa Rica for the first yoga retreat I'd been on since 2019. Yoga retreats have been an annual cosmic adventure for me that started in 2012 and served as markers throughout the darkest years of my life. Yoga retreats were how I learned to create community, to open up and share with others like me…they were safe ways where I was finally able to experience intimacy. Again, to find myself on retreat with my dear friend and yoga teacher AND with Jeff…was perfection.Yet, I struggled at first to allow myself to enjoy it. You'll have to check out this episode to find out WHY as well as hear how I believe that we are all being called by the Universe right now to this shared, reinitiation into intimacy. Meaning, I feel like we are all standing at the edge of a portal. We have an opportunity to transition into the next phase of our lives. We have the chance to recover and discover pathways to more conscious and intimate lives…if only we can be brave enough to risk it.Xoxo, JenniConnect with Jenni:Ready to take the first step towards more pleasure and intimacy in your life?

I have met so many amazing women through online communities, including my guest this week on the Beauty After Betrayal™ podcast. Allison Vernon-Thompson is the creator of Feminine Fire Method, which is a delicious combination of yoga, pilates, strength training and dance, and it's designed to fit how a woman's body works.I feel like I've tried all forms of exercise over my lifetime, and I can say that Allison's method is one of the coolest ways I've ever experienced moving my body. I love her classes!As a personal trainer, Allison always felt out of place in the gym environment mentality of driving, pushing and giving 110% all the time, no matter how you feel or what's going on in your body that day.Releasing the pressure of the bro culture's approach to fitness has helped her be more consistent, fit, strong, and more connected to her body and feelings than ever before. Now she helps other women achieve this through her Feminine Fire Method."The work that I do is really about tuning into our bodies, using our bodies as the guide for our workout, and really allowing ourselves to be seduced into a workout." ~ Allison Vernon-ThompsonWe talk about embodied feelings and how they influence and inspire how we show up in the world.We discuss how learning to trust ourselves about our bodies and how we feel in our bodies, is the antidote to the toxic shaming messages that women receive from the fitness industry, diet culture, and general media every day.And we share in the excitement that we are both presenters in The Women's Day Event next week!Tune in to this delightful conversation about the importance of giving women permission to be who they are.xoxo, JenniJoin Jenni, Allison and many other amazing presenters for The Women's Day Event on March 8!Register for FREE for this uplifting and inspiring virtual eventREGISTER NOWConnect with Jenni:Join her Facebook group A Pleasure Full Life with Jenni Rochelle to participate in the next free masterclass: Debunking The Myths of Feminine Sexuality this Thursday, March 3rd at 6 pm CST, LIVE in the Facebook group!Don't miss out on The Women's Day Event next Tuesday, March 8 to hear Jenni present at 1:30 pm CST!-----------------Connect with JenniFollow Jenni on Instagram and FacebookJoin her Facebook group A Pleasure Full Life with Jenni Rochelle to participate in the next free masterclass: Debunking The Myths of Feminine Sexuality this Thursday, March 3rd at 6 pm CST, LIVE in the Facebook group!Don't miss out on The Women's Day Event next Tuesday, March 8 to hear Jenni present at 1:30 pm CST!Connect with AllisonLearn more about Allison and Feminine Fire Method here.Take a free class with her during The Women's Day Event on March 8!Follow Allison on Instagram.Join her online community Feminine Fire Method on Facebook.
This week on the Beauty After Betrayal™ podcast we are talking about intimacy.I was recently given the title The Queen of Intimacy because I am here to help women create what I call everyday intimacy.And I believe it is available to us no matter what we've been through... no matter what's going on in our life in the moment, in terms of our relationships... that we can learn to cultivate intimacy.And I believe that's what life is really all about.In this podcast episode, I start with a story about me and Jeff. It's a story that illustrates how we don't always get it right.In all of our relationships – with our beloveds, with our children, with our friends, with our coworkers – where there's attachment, we are always moving through a cycle.The cycle consists of three parts: 1) being securely attached; 2) a rupture occurs; 3) repair happens. Rinse and repeat forever.And the most important part of this cycle is actually the repair: how we come back and reconnect in an intimate way after a rupture.I also honor that of course there are some circumstances where you're in a situation when you don't feel safe – those of addiction, abuse, betrayal, etc... and I'm not asking you to necessarily repair with those people in your life.In those instances what I want you to do is to intimately connect with yourself.

On this week's episode of the Beauty After Betrayal podcast, I have invited one of my beautifully brave clients to share her own journey of betrayal with us.Julie Mahr first discovered me through this podcast, became a client of mine, and is now an alumni of Your Big Sexy Comeback, my signature group coaching program. This interview is a full circle moment for her to now be able to tell her story and reach and help other women who have gone through similar experiences in their own lives.Julie's story begins with the heartbreak of discovering her husband's porn addiction that was suffocating their marriage and her happiness and explained why she felt shut down sexually.She guides us through the ups and downs of her own healing process with a vulnerability and raw honesty that so many of you will resonate with, regardless of your own experiences."Wait a second - there is nothing wrong with me. This is not about me. I didn't cause it, I can't cure it." ~ Julie MahrAs Julie begins to come through the darkness and is finally able to find peace (and herself!) again, you will feel the hope that she now embodies.And when she shares how she has reclaimed her joy and gotten back in touch with her own sexual desires... even as a women of deep modesty and religious faith... you will cheer her on with every word."I'm connected to my whole self again." ~ Julie MahrI cannot wait for you to tune in to this episode, and I hope it inspires you as much as Julie's journey has inspired me. xoxo,JenniBring Your Own Sexy Back!Your Big Sexy Comeback is my 12-Week Group Mentorship for the Smart Woman Ready For Big Love, Great Sex, and a Pleasure Full Life.

Have you ever had a "Waking Up" moment? Where you shift out of your ordinary consciousness and connect deeply with something larger than yourself?Paige Britt is in the studio for this week's episode of Beauty After Betrayal™ podcast, and we talk about these moments and so. much. more.She is a dear friend of mine, as well as a mentor, guidepost, spiritual director, and mystical being who I've had the pleasure of knowing for more than 20 years.Paige is a meditation teacher, spiritual director, and author of the best-selling middle-grade fantasy book The Lost Track of Time (which, although geared towards readers age 8-12, was secretly written for adults).She works with people who are "waking up" to their old ways of knowing, doing, and being that no longer serve them. She helps them wake up to the toxic relationships we all have with our minds, so they can discover what lays beyond when we can get out of our own heads. "Waking Up" is profound and empowering work once we move past the discomfort of discovering that we are so much more than just our thoughts.In my own work with Paige, I'm continuing to learn how to find that ongoing stability of living in awareness. Stabilization is when you are able to return to that open expansive place on a continual basis, knowing that's where your truest self lives.Paige says that "it's the work of a lifetime".This year, one of my big shifts will be helping women get out of their heads and into their bodies, so Paige is the perfect guest to help us kick off the podcast in the new year."Our bodies are one of the most profound doorways into the Divine." ~ Paige BrittJoin us, as Paige helps us remember to trust ourselves and to listen to the small voice deep inside us all; and the importance of finding friends and guides along our path, so we have true and loving mirrors around us to reflect back to us our own perfect nature.xoxo, Jenni_______________Connect with Paige:Learn more about Paige Britt & her work here.

Welcome to the first 2022 episode of the Beauty After Betrayal™ podcast! This year I'm leaning in to some exciting, scintillating, and thought-provoking discussions, teachings, and inspirations around... wait for it... SEX.Yes - sex! And Your Big Sexy Comeback!And you finally getting out of your head, and into your body!Thank you for listening over these past nine months to this incredible passion project of mine that has continued to grow thanks to all of you, and will continue to evolve as I do.Betrayal will always be a big part of what I do because so many women have experienced it.And the more I look at my own story, do my own work, and help women who are healing from betrayal... the more I see that the betrayal itself is merely a symptom of the bigger narrative... of each of our bigger story arcs.So as we move into 2022, you are going to see that more of what I do, speak to, and teach on, will be centered around how we get out of our heads and into our bodies. Because I truly believe that our pleasures and our desires directly correlate to our power: in our lives, our relationships, at work, at home... everywhere! As long as we are disconnected from our bodies, our pleasure and our power, we cannot fully thrive.In this episode, I talk more about these big shifts, along with my own five pivotal stories of what happened to me throughout my life that led me to where I am today.Tune in, buckle up, and let me tell you all about it. Welcome to the Desire, Pleasure and Power Hour, aka Beauty After Betrayal™ Podcast.This is where the real revolution begins, Beauties.xoxo, Jenni______________________New for 2022!A Pleasure Full Life w/Jenni Rochelle:Free, Monthly Masterclasses for Women to Rediscover Intimacy & Radically Embrace PleasureJoin me on the 3rd Thursday of every month where we'll be exploring all kinds of juicy topics - you will not want to miss out!The first class is January 20, 2022 (Year of the Tiger, baby!)It's all happening via my new Facebook group: A Pleasure Full Life with Jenni Rochelle.JOIN THE GROUP!

Nothing beats the power of Sisterhood. According to Brené Brown, “We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection. Carol the Coach will be interviewing Sarah Morales and Jenni Rochelle who will be providing a group coaching proram for partners to heal. The coaches explain "The reason why Sisterhood is such a super healing power is that it offers women the opportunity to show up and be seen, heard and witnessed by other women who know exactly how you feel." Sisterhood offers you all the other elements that are so essential to your healing - safety, self-regulation, support, story, spirituality and strategy. You can literally get all of that from Sisterhood and one of the best ways to get the Sisterhood that you need is through a group coaching program just for women who have been through what you've been through.
Carol the Coach will be interviewing Jenni Rochelle who has written a guidebook on how to survive the trauma of sexual betrayal. It is free and can be found at www.sexaddictionguidebook.com. She will be sharing 6 essential elements for getting through the process of partner betrayal. .Jenni has a heart for partners and she is currently working on a Masters in Spiritual Formation and so she will also be speaking about spiritual truama and how partners need to find support in their faith community so caregivers need to find assistance in making that a smooth process for the partner.
It has been estimated that upwards of 3 to 5% of the adult population struggles with some sort of sex addiction, which is in the millions here in the United States. Add to that the number of partners and family members who are affected, and this addiction touches millions more. In this episode of The PurposeGirl Podcast, I'm fortunate to be joined by Jenni Rochelle, a certified life coach and advocate for women who have been impacted by their husband's sex addiction or have experienced betrayal trauma. Jenni shares with us her personal story of discovering that her former husband is a sex addict, her own resulting trauma, how she found support, and how she has turned her pain into purpose by helping other women who have similar struggles. In this episode, Jenni and I discuss the following: What is sex addiction? What is betrayal trauma? What should someone do if they suspect their partner has a sex addiction? What kind of support does a partner of a sex addict need? What is the Multidimensional Partner Trauma Model? How Jenni works with and supports women who have experienced having a partner with a sex addiction You can learn more about Jenni Rochelle and the work she does at https://www.jennirochelle.com.
