Narcissism and gaslighting are terms that are being thrown around more and more in popular culture--and they’re not always being accurately applied, which means that sometimes conflict is increased rather than diffused. In this podcast episode, I break down these two terms and how we can be aware of narcissism and gaslighting behaviors, and apply these terms accurately to resolve, rather than inflame, conflict in relationships.

Committed to being offended? What’s that? It’s what’s going on in those relationships where no matter what you do, no matter how much you stretch or bend or try to make things work, the person interprets everything you’re doing through the lens of thinking you’re rude...and getting offended. Today’s podcast episode breaks down the signs that this is happening--and how to respond from a place of courage.

It’s painful, but true--sometimes, you get happier, but people resent your happiness. When people resent your happiness, you may be struggling with knowing what to do.

Today’s podcast looks at how to navigate the tricky terrain of handling people who resent your happiness.

Starting the path to change isn’t enough--we also need to start cultivating accountability for ourselves. We can use habit-formation and the brain’s capacity for neuroplasticity there, too. In this Courage Habit focused episode, Kate + co-host Andy Sewell look at how to create community and how that ties in to courage.
