"Guard your consciousness because our consciousness is our most most precious thing that we have."
Welcome to the grand finale of the Bewitched series. Robyn and I wrap up this intense journey, reflecting on lessons learned and closing the book. We discuss the ethical responsibility we felt and the personal cost of sharing these stories.
I share 11 patterns of manipulation I tracked across guest stories, explaining how they relate to childhood relational trauma and exploiting "soft spots", like creating trauma bonds and gaslighting.
Robyn adds personality insights, contrasting the Dark Tetrad with the Light Triad. We touch on how traits like openness and agreeableness, combined with trauma, may make accomplished, intuitive women susceptible. Discernment is crucial.
We also address the question of why Betty's identity was not revealed.
We're excited to continue podcasting, collaborating on new content focusing on ethics, integrity, and standards in the healing and spiritual leadership space.
We want to thank all of the women who wanted to come forward with their stories and experiences. And also, everyone who showed their support, caring and interest in the series. You rock!
This episode is an invitation to safeguard your consciousness, become aware of red flags, do your deeper work, and keep the conversation going so these patterns don't happen in this way again.
