In a world where the spotlight usually shines on the “main stage,” the power of supporting others often goes overlooked. But being someone who shows up, amplifies, and cheers on others is one of the most valuable skills a thought leader can develop.

💪 Ways to flex your “supporting others” skillset:
- Share opportunities and referrals that align with someone’s mission.
- Celebrate wins publicly...even the small ones.
- Ask thoughtful questions that help others expand their ideas.
- Offer encouragement when the path gets tough.
- Remember that shining the light on others never dims your own.

If you’re ready to be part of a community where support is the superpower then join us in the Speaker Support & Referral Community. We are focused on helping heart-centered leaders get connected and booked! You’ll have access to a global community, monthly virtual events, and daily media, speaking, and podcast opportunities.

Self-gaslighting occurs when you doubt your own reality, feelings, and experiences, usually as a result of long-term conditioning, internalized trauma, or emotional manipulation from others (like a toxic partner, parent, or workplace).

You end up minimizing your own emotions, rationalizing harmful behavior from others, or silencing your own needs…essentially turning the gaslighting inwards.

Here are a few examples of how self-gaslighting shows up:
💔 You dismiss your feelings
“I shouldn’t feel this way. I’m just being too sensitive.”
“Other people have it worse, so my pain doesn’t matter.”
“Maybe I’m overreacting; it wasn’t that bad.”

💔You rewrite your own experiences
“It wasn’t abuse, maybe they were just having a bad day.”
“I must have misunderstood; they didn’t mean it that way.”
“I probably brought this on myself.”

💔 You blame yourself for others’ harmful actions
“If I had been better, they wouldn’t have treated me that way.”
“It’s my fault they’re upset. I need to do more to keep them happy.”

💔 You silence your instincts or desires
“I don’t really need that. I’m fine.”
“Maybe I’m just being selfish by wanting more.”

💔You invalidate your struggles
“I shouldn’t complain—my life isn’t that bad.”
“I’m just imagining things. I need to toughen up.”

When said, “Stop gaslighting yourself” in Episode 4 of the Love Means Business podcast it was a powerful moment that needed to be shared.

Love Means Business is not JUST a podcast...it's a show that is sharing incredible true stories of leaders who have been touched by dark love, learned from it, and not just survived...but thrived! ❤

Some of the most successful people have a story that changed the trajectory of their lives. Many times, toxic relationships played a role in teaching them how to be the strong, fearless, independent, visionaries they evolve into.

If you love true crime, relationships, business, and crazy (but true) stories...this show combines all of that into each episode.

🗺 The best part is every story is like a map to success. It shows anyone who might be struggling with a toxic relationship how to break free and create an amazingly successful life on the other side.

🎥Watch Episode 1 featuring Tiffany VanDeMark on the Love Means Business YouTube channel. She shares her incredible story of being married to celebrity wrestler Ric Flair, the beautiful and scary lessons learned during their relationship, and how she used the experience to fuel her success.

Thank you to our Episode 1 sponsor Dye Culik!

Marriage is never easy, but it can be especially difficult when fame, fortune, and the fragility of losing all of that comes into play. Tiffany joins Love Me...
