As a dietitian, Debra spends her summers split between school gardens and the hospital, and she comes home each day to her two young kids. Because of that, the joys, messiness, and challenges of feeding people are never far from her mind—they are part of both her professional work and her personal life.
She is especially mindful about helping people build a healthier relationship with food. Whether through Food Connection, Cafeteria Climate, Community Gardens, Food Access, or Universal Meals for All, Debra believes food should bring people together, not make people feel like they are constantly falling short.
Summer is a perfect example. Between backyard barbecues, vacations, birthday parties, and having kids home from school, there is often extra pressure to "do food right." Debra works to help people let go of the idea that they have to eat perfectly or be "good enough" and instead find more joy, flexibility, and connection around the table.

Theme: Setting the stage, from small-town Flushing to full-blown financial independence. The Intro: A bubbly, high-energy greeting. Briefly cover your "elevator pitch" (Broad student, MHRLR admit, fitness instructor, brand partner). * Leaving the Small Town Behind: Discussing the mindset shift from growing up in Flushing to wanting more out of life. + Covid Sophomore year – missed a lot * Financial Independence as Fuel: How paying your own way through college wasn't just a burden, but the exact catalyst that made you ambitious. * Takeaway for Spartans:* You don’t need a safety net to succeed. Financial independence forces you to be resourceful, network harder, and say "yes" to opportunities that others might skip.

Dr. Ken Stringer is a Michigan State College of Osteopathic Medicine professor and world-renowned clinician. His Clinical practice was at Okemos Pediatrics, which is part of the MSU Health Care team. Dr. Stringer retired after 42 years of practice. He is currently teaching medical students in their Clinical Skills course, where they learn to listen to heart sounds, look into ears, etc.
Highlights of his clinical career involved -* taking care of sick children, i.e.
* asthma,
* cardiac issues and
* gastrointestinal concerns.
Dr. Stringer has treated Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and we discuss this and many other issues that affect teenagers.
Other highlights of his medical career included being a team physician for high school and collegiate athletes, and also a physician at the US Olympic Committee Sports Festival in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Over the 42 years of teaching medical students, it has been an honor to be a mentor to these students with their enthusiasm of learning medicine during their Medical School careers. It has been great to see so many of them turn into caring, compassionate physicians, like Dr. Michael Shingles.
Dr. Stringer was trained in Pediatrics at the Children's Hospital of Michigan in Detroit, before beginning my career with MSU College of Osteopathic Medicine Pediatric Department. Ken is married to Nancy, and they have three sons. Ryan, David, and Jeremy, who with their exceptional wives have given us 8 grandchildren!!

Anna Thomas has got this college stuff down, graduating with a perfect 4.0 she is a consummate winner. Here are her tips for collegiate success in her undergraduate career at Michigan State University
1. Being Prepared
● Learned this lesson early in my college career- moving from TX to MI, winter was quite
The shock to me made me question if I had made the right decision choosing MSU,
Once I got appropriate clothes, I was better able to handle the cold. This lesson can be
applied to many other things in life- being prepared for class, exams, presentations,
interviews, etc.
● Global Learning Conference presentation
2. Getting a job early on in college
● Kept me out of trouble, important to get in the field experience, and understand what you like
and don’t like networking, building a resume and LinkedIn, developing skills,
● Briefly talk about experience at the anaerobic digester and EDL
3. Balance
● One of my key takeaways from NZ, talk about their culture, choose classes that make
You happy that helps balance out the super stressful ones you are required to take for
Your major, like my boxing class or basketball class, this semester. Stay on top of your
schoolwork, but also go out and enjoy time with your friends, because you will never be
at this stage of your life again.
4. Experiment, be present, and attentive
● College is a time to experiment, go across the world, and try new things
● Ex before college I rarely hiked. If I took half my advice of trying new things, I would have
just tried it out, hiked up the hill, down the hill, and just called it good. It takes being mindful
to realize this is something I thoroughly enjoy doing. Then, taking it a step further and
figuring out what specific things about it I actually enjoy? The effort, the way it makes my
body and mind feel to accomplish something difficult, that I love seeing different
landscapes and unique environments across the world, giving me a greater sense of
purpose and reason to fight for a more sustainable future. Then, taking it even further
and thinking about how do I continue to incorporate it into my life now and in the future.
Career? Just a hobby? Slowly overtime gather data points about yourself to help build a
life and career that is fulfilling to you.

Is it better to have a method, or a system? Is it better to be goal oriented or strictly success/failure.
What is the 'Prime Objective', how is it associated with achieving goals?
Was Scott Adams correct when he alluded to 'goals are for losers and systems are for winners'? Is that, in fact, true? Of course not, and that was not Scott's intention.
Goals are steps in life, in the journey of life, so just be aware and live on!

We spend more on healthcare than any nation in history… yet Americans are dying younger than people in every other peer country.
We spend more on healthcare than any nation in history… yet Americans are
dying younger than people in every other peer country.
Every generation deserves a healthier America than the one before it.”Dr. Matt McCord — an anesthesiologist and acute pain physician who has spent 32 years on the front lines of American healthcare. Over those decades, I have watched something deeply troubling unfold:
America leads the world in healthcare innovation, yet those breakthroughs have never
translated into better or more efficient care — and now the gap is widening in the wrong
direction. — pulled downward by four forces we created ourselves:
routine opioid prescribing that turns acute care into lifelong dependence,
smoking and preventable disease,
metabolic illness we refuse to prevent, and
a healthcare industry bloated with middlemen who profit when care fails.
Our team wants to help wean America off its dependence on opioids and rebuild the health of our communities.
So, we found Opioid Free America for one reason:
The tool we need to fix this already exists — claims data.
For too long that data has been hoarded, distorted, or weaponized against patients, employers, and prescribers.
We are reclaiming it.
We turn that data into the most powerful force for good American healthcare has ever
seen.
exposing waste,
predicting risk early,
identifying harmful prescribing patterns before addiction starts,
and empowering clinicians with insights they were never given.
This is not simply about ending unnecessary opioid exposure — though that alone will save countless lives. It’s about something bigger:
Leaving the workforce, our communities, and this country in better shape than we found it.
Our mission is to partner with prescribers — the people at the front line of pain care — and give them the education, standards, and data-driven tools needed to prevent addiction before it begins.
We advance safer care, opioid-free recovery, and evidence-based alternatives that protect patients rather than expose them.
Better health. Lower costs. Longer lives.
It all begins with data — and ends with America leading the world again in health, not
falling behind.

Talking to Quinn about effort and hard work is fun, not only do we talk real life, but we get to mix in the college athletics perspective. This includes (from the article Quinn wrote)
* The Effort Paradox (SKOOL Website-Parents of student athletes forum)On the surface, it doesn’t make sense. Our brains love efficiency, right? Save energy, do the least amount of work necessary. But at the same time, we crave effort.
* We Need Work to Feel Like We’ve Earned It
Humans are meaning-making machines. When something comes too easy, we don’t trust it. It doesn’t feel real.
Think about it—how many times have you heard stories of lottery winners who end up miserable? Or people who inherit wealth but struggle with purpose?
* Effort Is IdentityThis goes beyond just chasing goals. Hard work becomes part of who we are. Look at high performers—whether in business, sports, or any other field. Many of them don’t need to keep pushing. They’re already successful. Yet they do it anyway.
* The Real Takeaway
Instead of resisting hard work, lean into it.
The struggle, the long hours, the moments of doubt—that’s not just part of the process. That is the process.
So next time you’re knee-deep in something difficult, wondering why the hell you put yourself through it, remind yourself of this:
* You don’t just need the work.
* You want it.
* And deep down, you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Small wins, small acts of kindness they all add up to significance, but how significant? That is the impetus behind the topic of 'Quantifying Your Impact' and "The Legacy Tree".

Hearing is SO important, so why do we know so little about the depth of care we can find with a great audiologist? In this episode Dr Evan Draper, audiologist, share some great tips on how to prevent your life from becoming quiet.
https://www.allabouthearingservice.com/
Dr Draper and I discuss these points on this show-
Get a hearing test.
Our hearing changes gradually over time as we age. We don't usually notice these changes, because they happen slowly, and because they affect only part of the sound spectrum at a time. Even if you don't think you have significant difficulty hearing, you might be surprised by what you're missing. And even if your hearing is great, it's good to establish a baseline for ongoing measurements. (If you want to talk about dementia risk and stuff, that can go here.)
* Look for an audiologist, because expertise matters in diagnosing and treating hearing loss.
There are two kinds of professionals that work with hearing: audiologists, and hearing instrument specialists. Audiologists now require doctoral degrees, while HIS only need a high school diploma. Just like physicians and pharmacists, it used to be that audiologists tested and diagnosed hearing loss, while HIS dispensed hearing aids. Since hearing aids are more complicated than a pill, that clear-cut division broke down, and now most state laws treat the two nearly identically. (Audiologists will refer you to an otolaryngologist, or ear/nose/throat doctor, if you have any medical issues.)
* Hearing aids can help a lot, but there's more to it than just the devices.
There are many hearing aids on the market. Generally, the more you pay, the better the hearing aids will do in background noise or other complicated sound environments. But no matter how much you spend on hearing aids, they won't be perfect out of the box. You'll need a good audiologist to configure and program your hearing aids, so they're right for your hearing and your lifestyle. And wearing hearing aids can be an adjustment process: you may need to gradually work your way up to your full prescription volume over the course of several weeks. (If you want to talk about over-the-counter hearing aids, maybe that can go here.)
* Speaking of expertise, make sure your audiologist performs some kind of Real Ear Measures.*
Your audiologist should test how hearing aids are working while they're in your ears, as opposed to just a laboratory environment. Everyone will tell you it's a good idea, but not enough providers actually do it.
I've seen plenty of patients wearing hearing aids that don't fit well and sound annoying. These folks might even be convinced that they need new hearing aids. I can usually make adjustments so people's hearing aids are more clear and comfortable than they've ever been.

In this provocative interview with former Michigan State University wide out Tre Mosley and mentor Brock Fletcher understanding the depth of what a D-1 student athlete must endure to be successful is not emphasized enough.
In this episode be listening for talk about-
* Levels of maturity in young people
* NIL (name Image Likeness
* Tim management
* Interpersonal skills
* Bringing value to others
* Why Tre chose MSU for a college
* Mark Dantonio
Tre Mosley attended high school at West Bloomfield. In Tre's junior season, he brought in 55 receptions for 1,030 yards and ten touchdowns. Coming out of high school, Mosley was rated as a three-star recruit, the 21st-ranked prospect in Michigan, and the top overall receiver in Michigan in the class of 2019.[2] Mosley also held offers from schools such as Michigan State, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Oregon, Purdue, and Cincinnati. Mosley ultimately decided to commit to play college football for the Michigan State Spartans.
In the 2019 regular season finale, Mosley tallied eight receptions for 73 yards, as he helped the Spartans beat Maryland. Mosley finished his freshman season playing in six games where he caught 21 passes for 216 yards and a touchdown. During the COVID shorted 2020 season, Mosley caught just seven passes for 71 yards. In the 2021 season, Mosley would have a breakout season notching 35 receptions for 530 yards and three touchdowns. During the 2022 season, Mosley hauled in 35 receptions for 359 yards and four touchdowns. In Mosley's final career season in 2023 he notched 28 receptions for 288 yards and two touchdowns. After the conclusion of the 2023 season, Mosley decided to declare for the 2024 NFL draft.

Home sellers, just like buyers, have a specific set of concerns and questions they need answered to feel confident in the process. Their questions often revolve around pricing, timing, and what to expect during the transaction.Here are the top 10 questions home sellers have, based on common inquiries and market trends:1. What is my home really worth? This is the most fundamental question. Sellers want to know a realistic and accurate valuation of their property in the current market. They often seek a comparative market analysis (CMA) from their agent, which compares their home to similar properties recently sold in the area. 2. How do we determine the best asking price? While related to the home's value, this question is about strategy. Sellers want to know if they should price it high to leave room for negotiation, or price it competitively to attract multiple offers and a bidding war. The answer depends heavily on local market conditions. 3. What repairs or improvements should I make before listing? Sellers want to know what they can do to get the best return on their investment. They are looking for advice on whether to undertake major renovations or just focus on smaller, cosmetic fixes like a fresh coat of paint, decluttering, or enhancing curb appeal. 4. What are the total costs involved in selling my home? Sellers are often surprised by the number of fees they are responsible for. They want a clear breakdown of all expenses, including real estate agent commissions, closing costs, title fees, transfer taxes, and any money they may need to spend on staging, photography, or repairs. 5. How will you market my home to attract buyers? Sellers want to know their agent has a comprehensive marketing plan. This includes questions about professional photography, virtual tours, online listings (on MLS, Zillow, etc.), social media promotion, and open houses. 6. How long will it take to sell my home? This is a question about a seller's timeline. They want to set realistic expectations for the process, from the time it is listed to when the transaction is closed. This timeline is crucial if they are also planning to buy a new home. 7. Is now a good time to sell? Sellers are always trying to time the market. They want to know if it's a seller's market (fewer homes for sale, high demand) or a buyer's market (more homes, lower demand). Their agent should provide a clear picture of the current market climate in their specific neighborhood. 8. What should I disclose to potential buyers? This is a key legal and ethical question. Sellers want to know what property issues or defects they are legally required to disclose to buyers to avoid future legal complications. The rules for disclosure vary by state and local laws. 9. What if a buyer's offer comes with contingencies? Offers with contingencies (e.g., home inspection, appraisal, or financing) are common. Sellers want to understand what these mean, which ones are negotiable, and what the risks are of accepting an offer with certain conditions. 10. How will you handle multiple offers? In a hot market, sellers may receive multiple offers. They want to know how their agent will organize and present these offers, and what strategies they can use to negotiate the best possible price and terms, not just the highest bid.

In this episode Dr. Anthony Avellino and I discuss the following points surrounding transitions in life:
* Performance living: Performance = skill minus interference
* Refirement zone vs retirement: what is your purpose? What brings you joy?
* Transitions cause stress (from high school to college to job to …)
* Stress = pushing past one’s perceived limits and then allowing for recovery
* Stress, anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, debt => impediments to success
* Expectations to perform, be perfect, be tough…
* Social media and perfect life…
* Keep climbing the ladder (each rung closer to success)…
* Resilience and Well-Being
* Resilience = acquired ability to recover, adapt, and grow from stress
* Resiliency and well-being by managing stress with coping and self-care skills?
* Time management
* Healthy sleep, eating, exercise habits
* Learning opportunities to build resilience…
* Building blocks to success => Turn obstacles into opportunities…
* Kindness, compassion, love, and respect (for yourself and others) => healthy relationships
* “You are powerful. Being empathetic, compassionate, grateful, caring, and kind are human being’s greatest strengths.”
* Wonder Drug (Drs. Trzeciak & Mazzarelli): 7 scientifically proven ways that serving others is the best medicine for yourself!!
+ Start Small: 16 minutes Rx; give, help, care, and connect more; kind acts, compassion, and selfless service for others
+ Be Thankful: write/send thank you notes as appreciation
+ Be Purposeful: being part of something larger than yourself that can make a difference for others; what can I do to make your day a little better?
+ Find Common Ground: children, sunset, cry, etc
+ See It: see it to feel it
+ Elevate: gravitate toward people who do kind things for others and are happy about it, and you’ll boost your own happiness
+ Know Your Power: using your time, talent, and treasure to serve others; strengthen relationships; decrease chronic stress and systemic inflammation and boost immune system; hope matters and belief in recovery matters

CEO and Founder @EffortOverResults Coaching / Keynote Speaker / ICF Certified Leadership / Performance Coach / Former Pro Athlete / Host of the “Effort Over Results” PodcastWith over two decades of experience spanning leadership, coaching, and advisory services, I am committed to empowering organizations to foster resilience, retention, and results. As Founder and CEO of Effort Over Results Coaching, I partner with leaders and teams to cultivate effort-first cultures where motivation, accountability, and alignment thrive. By prioritizing effort over outcomes, I aim to help organizations unlock untapped potential while championing inclusivity, trust, and sustainable growth.
Founder and CEO of Effort Over Results Coaching
Helping leaders and teams unlock resilience, retention, and results through an EOR culture
Effort is what moves the needle. Not just results.
After 20+ years in leadership, coaching, and competitive athletics — I’ve seen firsthand what organizations miss:
They measure what’s easy, reward the visible, and lose the very people who keep the lights on.
EOR Coaching helps organizations build a culture that sees effort clearly and values it loudly
What We Do:
We build effort-first cultures inside organizations so people are not just productive — they’re motivated, accountable, and aligned.
Our services include:
• Leadership Coaching (1:1 + team)
Develop high-trust, effort-driven leaders who inspire action
• Company Workshops & Trainings
Live and virtual sessions to install the EOR framework
• Effort Assessment & Culture Diagnostics: Proprietary tools that measure psychological safety, recognition, risk tolerance: before and after our engagement.
• 12-Week Leadership Curriculum
A program that helps teams embed EOR values, language, and systems.
• The EOR System
Our full-stack leadership methodology
• Keynotes & Speaking Engagements
Real stories, real talk, and real strategy
Why Effort Over Results?
Because in today’s economy, talent isn’t leaving for more money — they’re leaving for more meaning.
When you recognize and coach effort, here’s what you unlock:
Higher retention
More innovation
Faster learning
Lower burnout
Stronger culture
Authentic leadership
Psychological safety
Who We Work With
• Founders & CEOs building strong, sustainable cultures
• Fast-growing companies scaling to 100+ employees
• Senior leaders looking to upgrade team performance without pressure
• Organizations tired of turnover, tension, and “checked out” employees
• School districts, coaches, and parents implementing EOR in youth development

Reflections from a builder, operator, and reinvention partner. For more information about Wendy or to get in touch with her, please visit:
Wendi Burkhardt
Email Wendi
Tom's takeaways from this episode with Wendi, as well as words from Wendi can be found below!
- WHAT is success?
Success isn’t one-size-fits-all. For me, it’s about surrounding myself with people—capital partners, collaborators, and teams—who share my values and care about the same outcomes I do. Alignment is everything.
Success is the quality of people you surround yourself with—and ensuring they’re aligned with what you care about.
- HOW do you achieve it?
By stepping into complexity and finding the opportunity others overlook.
Rolling up your sleeves, doing the work, and being curious.
- IF you’re stuck, what do you do?
Reconnect with what has always driven you—even if your current role doesn’t.
Don’t be afraid to try something new
- WHEN do you know it’s time to evolve?
When your comfort zone starts to feel like a cage.
You know it’s time to evolve when the version of success you’re living no longer feels like yours.
What The Tom Matt Show's Audience Should Know About Me - Wendi Burkhardt
1 I build things—from the ground up and the inside out.
I’ve led startups, raised capital, fixed broken systems, and helped organizations grow through transition. Whether launching a proptech platform for aging adults or leading growth at a private equity firm focused on special-situation tech companies, I know how to build value where others see complexity.
2 I’ve reinvented myself—and helped others do the same.
I’ve shifted from founder to investor, from mission-driven tech to buyouts, and from operating a company to advising others. Reinvention isn’t just a theme for me—it’s a lived experience. I help leaders and organizations navigate those same crossroads with clarity and confidence.
3 I’m values-driven—but results-oriented. I believe in doing meaningful work—but it has to work. I’ve built business models that are financially sustainable and mission-aligned. I care deeply about impact, aging, housing, and equity—but I lead with discipline, accountability, and data.
4 I don’t believe success is one-size-fits-all. Titles, exits, and metrics matter—but what really matters is whether your life and work reflect who you are and what you value. I’ve helped founders, executives, and platforms recalibrate not just what they’re doing—but why.

Audio expert, professional musician, DJ, talk show host, producer, Mitch Anderson, and his 'Black Circle Radio' are a force to be reckoned with. In this episode we talk about Mitch's top shows he has produced for us, including Rob Helm, Danielle Radin, Roland Lazenby just to name a few.
Also we talk about Mitch and his journey into sobriety, which of course I support entirely.
Take a listen to Black Circle Radio when your done with this episode!
Fun fact: The theme song for The Tom Matt Show was originally named, "The Expanding Grip"!
Song written by The Arc of All and Mitch Anderson as the duo The Source of Light & Power

There are many factors that are leading us to wonder what is next in real estate? What is "The Next Big Thing" according to Brock Fletcher of the Selling Team of Keller Williams Realty"
- In April, the average mortgage rate was 6.71%. Median home values are up 2.7% year over year at $403,700.
- In 2025, affordability may improve somewhat as rates are predicted to ease while price growth moderates.
- But because there's so much uncertainty in the economy right now, this forecast could change.

For his 30th visit to our program Craig Stiles, Ameriprise Financial, the #FinancialFitness topic on our show is HUGE! Rest assured everything is going to be fine.
For example here is an article supporting this episode from Edward Jones Investment-
Overall, stock markets have rebounded nicely over the last two weeks with the S&P 500 up about 8%, as first-quarter data has held up and policymakers seem to be making progress on trade. Keep in mind that two or three pullbacks are normal in any year, especially as markets digest potentially higher inflation and softer growth. Nonetheless, we may see better sentiment heading into year-end, as the Federal Reserve likely lowers interest rates, and earnings growth looks to recover heading into 2026.

Spain's push for net-zero backfires with crippling power outage across 2 nations.
Government explanations fall short as experts point to complications related to the renewable energy transition.
One of the first claims about what happened there was a so-called "induced atmospheric vibration." That happens when there are rapid changes in the weather that alter the oscillations in the electric grid’s overhead lines, according to Professor Jianzhong Wu at the University of Cardiff focuses on Multi-Vector Energy Systems. He is also an electricity grid expert, among other things.
However, Wu was not convinced that "vibration" caused the outage.
"I am not aware of extreme weather conditions in Spain today (my daughter is on a School trip in Spain, and she told me the weather was really nice there), so I am not sure whether this is the real cause," Wu wrote in an article for the Science Media Centre on the same day as the outage.

Get ready for this deep dive episode with our friend and sponsor, Craig Stiles of Ameriprise Financial. Talking all things fiduciaries in this one. A fiduciary is anyone who must act in the best interest of a client or customer. Attorneys, bankers, and company board members are all examples of fiduciaries. Because they're legally required to maintain their client's best interests, they offer a higher level of trust to those who work with them.
Benefits of working with a fiduciary
- Unbiased advice: Fiduciaries are legally required to provide unbiased advice.
- Transparent fees: Fiduciaries are more transparent about their fees.
- Fewer conflicts of interest: Fiduciaries have fewer conflicts of interest than other financial professionals.
- Tailored advice: Fiduciaries can provide advice and financial planning strategies that are tailored to your goals.
- Peace of mind: You can have peace of mind knowing that your wealth is being managed in your best interest.

Dr. Deborah Heiser is back and we are so stoked to talk about her new book,
'The Mentorship Edge: Creating Maximum Impact through Lateral and Hierarchical Mentoring
Learn how a mentor relationship can make your life more fulfilling The Mentorship Edge: Creating Maximum Impact through Lateral and Hierarchical Mentoring explores how we connect to others, feel valued, get pleasure from life, and believe our lives have meaning through forming mentor relationships with others.
This book covers traditional hierarchical mentorship we're all familiar with, along with lateral mentoring, where you connect with a friend or colleague―someone you can be vulnerable with―whether they work in your department, another department, or outside of your organization entirely.
Insight in this book is drawn from The International Association of Top Professionals 2025 Top CEO and Mentor of the Year Deborah Heiser's experience running The Mentor Project, a nonprofit mentoring organization with more than 100 mentors at the absolute top of their fields. In this book, readers will learn about:* The proven benefits of mentorship in both work and home life * Mentorship in various fields, including business, research, entrepreneurship, and art * Classic examples of the power of mentorship, like when Steve Jobs asked Steve Wozniak for engineering help when he was at Atari
The Mentorship Edge is an essential guide to demystify the special concept of mentoring and inspire individuals to engage in mentoring naturally, whether hierarchically or laterally, based on their goals and passions.

Allison McClintick is an amazing fireball of leadership skills and has a passion for #accountability.
Topics we cover in this episode are:
-WAKE UP! See "constructions" for what they are and think for yourself (Kind of like a "matrix" conversation)
-GET OVER IT! To find peace, you need to put trauma "in its place" (emotional frequency and its impact on brain and body)
-TAKE CARE OF YOUR SH$T! Your emotional life is no one's responsibility but your own-even if someone wronged you legitimately. (Emotional accountability)
-DO THE WORK! Enlightenment is VERY uncomfortable. People think they are ready-often they aren't. Because it can HURT to do this work but doing the work is the only way to find PEACE if you have work to do.

As explained by Psychologist Debbie Heiser gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse and mental manipulation that will leave you questioning your own reality and have you wondering if you’re in the wrong in nearly every argument. Plus, gaslighting doesn’t just happen with significant others — it can happen with your family, your friends, your coworkers and even acquaintances.
