Let's Just Face It
Welcome, I’m your host, Luna. Life has a way of leading us through storms — the kind that shake us, break us, and drench us in shadows. But even the darkest skies eventually give way to light, and every storm carries within it the promise of a rainbow.
This podcast is a journey of transformation — where we take the heavy, hidden, and painful parts of life and turn them into strength, wisdom, and hope. Together, we’ll explore what it means to walk through darkness and emerge into light, to reclaim your power, and to find beauty in places once filled with sorrow.
Here, you are not alone. Each episode is an invitation to rise, to heal, and to remember that even the smallest flicker of light can illuminate the path forward.
Join me as we step out of the storm and into the rainbow — one story, one breath, one moment at a time.
Through our storms, we find the rainbow - Luna

99. Unveiling Dog Whistling in Abusive Relationships
In today's podcast episode, we delved into the disturbing world of dog whistling within abusive relationships. This manipulative communication tactic is used by abusers to exert control and maintain power while evading direct accountability for their harmful actions. Similar to a dog whistle emitting high-frequency sounds only dogs can hear, abusers use subtle language, gestures, and actions with hidden meanings understood only by the victim. These hidden messages serve to isolate, manipulate, and emotionally control the victim, leaving them doubting themselves and their reality.
The podcast provides a comprehensive breakdown of how dog whistling operates within abusive dynamics. It highlights covert communication, isolation tactics, code words, and the implantation of fear to keep the victim compliant and fearful of consequences. The emotional and psychological impacts are significant, leading to anxiety, depression, and distorted self-perception. The episode emphasizes the importance of recognizing dog-whistling, seeking external support, and building a solid network to break free from the abusive hold. By shedding light on this manipulation tactic, the podcast aimed to empower listeners to identify and address such behaviors, fostering awareness and conversations about healthy relationships.
