“Fine” Is Not the Truth | Reframing Language & Speaking Up After Domestic Violence

This week’s Getting to After episode might be our most powerful yet. It’s a micro masterclass in learning how to reframe your words, regulate your body, and reclaim your calm.

And yes, since it’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we’re closing our Overcoming Silence 2025: Breaking Through Silence series with truth and tenderness.

In this episode, Morganne and I walk you through four real-life role-plays: conversations at work, with family, with educators, and with medical professionals. We help you practice how to move from “I’m fine” to honest, safe expression.

You’ll learn how to:

• Prepare your nervous system before hard conversations using simple EFT karate-chop tapping

• Speak truth with safety, self-protection, and compassion

• Use affirmations to anchor calm afterward

• Rebuild confidence and language that honors your truth

💜 Whether you’re a survivor or simply a midlife woman learning to speak up again, this episode will meet you where you are — gently, powerfully, and without judgment." — Chatone Morrison

Key Themes: emotional freedom technique (EFT), midlife empowerment, language reframing, nervous-system regulation, post-DV healing, survivor support, self-advocacy, honest communication
