When the bomb drops

When the bomb drops

Welcome to Deconstructing Gaslighting the podcast, I’m your host, Sarah Morales, and today’s episode it going to be a bit different.

On Tuesday of last week, I put the final touches on my next speaking opportunity at a summit. The theme of the summit is post-traumatic growth, and my title, "I no longer fear the storm". Irony can be a bitch, because on Wednesday – the very next day – a bomb my ex built probably 15 years ago blew up.


So today I wanted to talk a bit about what it’s been like for me the past few days, and the observations I have about how allllll the work that I’ve been doing for the past 13 years is serving me – big time! Side note, if you're interested, my talk with be at the Daring Ventures Summit.


Top Take-Aways:

  • Reminder/experience solidarity - that you are NOT alone
  • Feel inspiration or hope
  • What can we learn from Sarah's post-traumatic growth?
  • SUPPORT TEAM is CRUCIAL
  • SELF-CARE is a must
  • HEALTHY DISTRACTION, spending time in your ZONE OF COMPETENCE/GENIUS
  • Give yourself PERMISSION TO FUNCTION AT LOWER LEVELS
  • BE GENTLE WITH YOURSELF
  • Try giving GOOD, CLEAR COMMUNICATION - especially around things you have AWARENESS OF around your TRAUMA SYMPTOMS
  • Find/gather INFORMATION THAT LEADS TO EMPOWERMENT


I wanted to let any new listeners know about the many resources I have on my website.


I also wanted to invite you to follow me on your preferred social media platform, where we can connect and even interact! 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.
