Send us a textI am thrilled to welcome Lianne Torres to “Emotional Abuse Is Real” today. Lianne is a self-love coach, speaker, domestic violence survivor and advocate – and she is the host of the “Watch Us Thrive” podcast. Just like I do with “Emotional Abuse Is Real,” Lianne uses her podcast to not only share her own story of abuse but to raise awareness about toxic relationships, overcoming trauma, and healing. Like me, Lianne is devastated that Donald Trump was elected to a second presidential term. The way she sees it, the American people have returned to their narcissistic, abusive partner. We spend most of the episode venting our frustration and voicing our sadness because, even though it's been a month since Kamala Harris lost the election, many of us continue to deal with a lot of raw emotions. And we're here to tell you that we can still be upset. This was a cathartic conversation for both of us, and I can't wait for you to hear it.

Send us a textAlthough I initially planned to take this week off, I needed to record some episodes that directly addressed the U.S. presidential election, so here we are.For the next few podcast episodes, I'm chatting with women who, like me, are deeply affected by the election results, and still navigating through their sadness. I especially wanted to speak with women who, like me, are narcissistic abuse survivors directly triggered by Donald Trump's win. On today's episode, I welcome Skye Polk. Skye is a Dallas-Fort Worth-based content creator focusing on raising awareness about chronic illness and mental health. Several years ago, Skye was diagnosed with a blood circulation disorder called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, or POTS. She's also spent the past six years in narcissistic abuse recovery, having grown up with a narcissistic father. Skye's mission is to use her voice to help support others dealing with experiences similar to hers, so I'm thrilled that you all will hear our conversation.Connect with Skye:InstagramThreadsBlueSkyTikTokLearn more about POTSGretel Pod-Ponders Life and Loss with Bede and other guestsGretel le Maitre is an ordinary, curious lady who is about to lose her...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showGet my free download, "Discover Your Brand Voice in 3 Easy Steps"Follow me on Instagram, Threads, and BlueSkyListen to the podcast on YouTubePlease support the show by buying me a coffee!You can also reach me through my professional websiteIf you're interested in sharing your story on the podcast, please fill out this form.You can also drop me a line at hello@sareneleedswrites.com or DM me on Instagram.

Send us a textOn today's episode, I welcome a 26-year-old emotional abuse survivor named Lara. Originally from Germany, Lara was raised in an ethnic Turkish household under an abusive mother. Due to the rules of her culture, Lara was forbidden to move out of her family's home until she got married. But once she turned 18, Lara realized she was in an untenable situation. With zero family support, and through her therapist's encouragement, Lara escaped her childhood home and moved to France, where she now lives and works as a high school teacher.

Send us a textOn today's episode, I welcome Jennifer MD Cox. Jennifer is a fiction writer, a licensed mental health counselor, a parent, a spouse, and a member of the LGBTQ+ community who identifies as pansexual. Jennifer and I covered a lot of topics throughout our conversation, but in particular, we focused on an emotionally abusive relationship she endured while a college student. What I learned from Jennifer is that members of the LGBTQ+ community are at an increased risk for emotional abuse because many are already cut off from their families due to homophobia. Since they are more vulnerable, we must keep telling these stories of abuse. Also, as the author of the novel Getting to Know You, Jennifer is working to change the narrative about LGBTQ+ relationships and emotional abuse.Connect with Jennifer:TikTokThreadsInstagramNine Star Press#LMHCWholovestowriteWatch Me Do ItTwo 40-something single ladies dive into dating, divorce, men, friendships, work & more Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showGet my free download, "Discover Your Brand Voice in 3 Easy Steps"Follow me on InstagramListen to the podcast on YouTubePlease support the show by buying me a coffee!You can also reach me through my professional websiteIf you're interested in sharing your story on the podcast, please fill out this form.You can also drop me a line at hello@sareneleedswrites.com or DM me on Instagram.

Send us a textOn today's episode, I welcome Valerie Probstfeld. Valerie is a nurse practitioner, writer, podcaster, as well as the creator and host of the To Mom Is to Love platform. To quote Valerie, the To Mom Is to Love community embraces imperfection, and promotes love as a verb. My conversation with Valerie touches upon several important topics, including her own childhood emotional abuse, as well as the concept of medical bullying. We also chat about how we are both trying to break harmful generational cycles in our respective parenting journeys. There is something for everyone in this episode, whether you're a parent or not, and the biggest takeaway is that we're all guilty of being too hard on ourselves.

Send us a textInstead of my usual “Emotional Abuse Is Real” content this week, I have another special bonus episode for your listening pleasure. I'm back as a guest on Krista Dykes' “Secret Mom Hacks” podcast, and this time we are talking about one of my favorite topics: Self-care for moms (a quick note on that: You do NOT have to be a mom to indulge in any of the self-care suggestions I make on this episode. Everyone needs self-care.) Krista also allows me to share about my terrible experience with a postpartum doula when my daughter was born eight years ago. To be clear, I think postpartum doulas offer wonderful support to moms, but as you'll discover from listening to my cautionary tale, it's imperative that you do your research before hiring someone for this critical period after your child arrives. As always, I'm so grateful to Krista for letting me chat with her about these subjects, and I'm thrilled to now share it as a bonus on my own podcast feed. “Emotional Abuse Is Real” will return with brand-new guests next week on October 23.

Send us a textOn today's episode, we conclude my conversation with emotional and narcissistic abuse survivor Josephine*. A reminder that if you haven't listened to Part 1, Part 2, or Part 3 yet, now is a good time to go catch up.In Part 4 of my conversation with Josephine, we wrap up her story by discussing her acrimonious divorce from her first husband, and how she eventually connected with her supportive second husband. Even though Josephine is in a healthy marriage now, she and her daughter are still victims of her ex-husband's coercive control. We talk about how the systems that should have protected her, like law enforcement and the court systems, failed her and her daughter, and why victims must educate themselves as much as they can when separating from their abusive partners. *Name changed to protect the guest's privacySupport the showGet my free download, "Discover Your Brand Voice in 3 Easy Steps"Follow me on InstagramListen to the podcast on YouTubePlease support the show by buying me a coffee!You can also reach me through my professional websiteIf you're interested in sharing your story on the podcast, please fill out this form.You can also drop me a line at hello@sareneleedswrites.com or DM me on Instagram.

I really do believe that ChatGPT makes me way more productive and I get way better results from what I do. The Americans would say garbage in, garbage out. On this side of the Atlantic, we're more likely to say rubbish in, rubbish out. If you're putting generic prompts into ChatGPT, then you're going to get generic results.In this week's episode of The Social Media Takeaway, I'm going solo and sharing with you exactly what I do to get better results and quality content from ChatGPT so you can get those too for your business. I'll dive into the key differences between the free and paid versions, explain why specific prompts yield better results, and show you how to create detailed buyer personas with ChatGPT. I share useful prompts that I use, which you can find on my website, so make sure to check that out! WEBSITEIf you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe to my podcast because more like this is on the way!If you'd like to book a call to see how I can support you head over to my website here. www.sellonsocialmedia.academy/helloAnd please connect on social media and let me know what you thought of this episode!LinkedInInstagramFacebookFacebook GroupCheck out my 2024 Social Media Content Planner & Guide on Amazon (Amazon UK) (Amazon USA)

Send us a Text Message.On today's episode, we're talking more about emotional abuse in multi-level marketing companies with my guest, Luana Barajas. Luana lives in Southern California, she's a mom to three kids, works full-time as a middle school teacher, and recently published her debut novel, V. As a Latina in a predominantly white MLM, Luana experienced not only the typical predatory behavior of MLMs but also performative allyship toward BIPOC consultants following the murder of George Floyd. This blatantly racist behavior drove her to quit the company once and for all.

Send us a Text Message.For the second episode in my series dedicated to MLMs and toxic health and wellness groups, I'm thrilled to welcome Lily Thrope to the podcast. Lily is a licensed clinical social worker in private practice in New York City, specializing in disordered eating and body image. When she was in college, Lily fell into a group that she now calls a “yoga cult.” While the group Lily joined wasn't a multilevel marketing business per se, you'll discover through our conversation that it held a lot of similar qualities to MLMs and cults. Fortunately, Lily had a good friend who helped her spot the red flags in this group, and she eventually walked away. Now, Lily is here to discuss her own healing journey and her role as a therapist who helps others heal as well.

In this week's episode, we're exploring the Right Angle Cross of Planning, which includes gates 37, 40, 16 and 9.  This incarnation cross is a combination of 2 tribal gates (37+ 40) and 2 logical collective gates (16 + 9).
