⚠️ Content warning: Sexual violence, workplace harassment, trauma🎙️

What happens when the place you’re supposed to feel safe becomes the place that breaks you?

In this powerful episode of The FEMCAST, Jan Cruickshank shares her deeply personal story of workplace sexual harassment and assault — and the devastating aftermath of trying to speak up. From shock and self-blame to facing disbelief from those meant to protect her, Jan exposes the brutal reality many survivors face when systems prioritise reputation over safety.

This conversation goes beyond one woman’s story. It shines a light on workplace cultures that enable abuse, the silencing power of NDAs, and why accountability for perpetrators remains dangerously rare.

This episode is raw, honest, and necessary listening for anyone who believes safe workplaces are a basic human right.

If we want change, we have to start by listening.

🎧 GASLIT BRAIN SERIES | THE FEMCAST PODCAST

What if workplace bullying isn’t just damaging confidence… but changing how your brain functions? 🧠

In this powerful episode, we expose the hidden neurological, emotional, and physical toll of toxic work environments — particularly on women and those navigating power imbalances at work.

Featuring the lived experience of mental health expert Dr Krystal Culler, this conversation explores how workplace gaslighting, institutional bullying, and unchecked toxic leadership can trigger anxiety, cognitive burnout, physical health crises, and long-term trauma.

We unpack:
• How workplace stress rewires the brain
• Why women are disproportionately targeted through subtle and relational bullying
• The warning signs your body is under psychological threat
• How gaslighting erodes confidence and professional identity
• Practical strategies to protect your brain health and plan safe career transitions
• Why organisations must move beyond wellbeing talk to real accountability

If work has ever made you question your worth, your memory, or your resilience — this episode will validate what you’ve experienced and help you understand why it happens.

Because surviving work should never come at the cost of your health.

Kelly Donovan’s story sounds like a movie script, but it’s an 8-year living nightmare.

After being gaslit by the police when reporting domestic abuse by one of their own, Kelly became a serving officer to change the culture from within.

Instead, she found a system designed to protect itself at any cost. So far they have spent an eye watering $600,000+ in taxpayer dollars to silence her, with an estimated $1M bill by the time justice is served.

We sit down with Kelly for "The Gaslit Brain" series. This isn’t just a story about survival, it’s a masterclass in the personal cost of truth. She chose integrity over her career. She chose truth over silence.

But the "Blue Wall of Silence" had other plans.

On this episode on The FEMCAST podcast with Dr Jen Fraser PhD, Kelly joins us for our "Gaslit Brain" series to discuss:

✅ The reality of institutional betrayal.
✅ The psychological toll of whistleblowing.
✅ Why the system spends millions to make "problems" disappear.

It's a harrowing look at whistleblowing, institutional betrayal, and the "Gaslit Brain." Kelly reveals the shocking reality of her 7-year legal battle, where Canadian taxpayers have already footed an eye-watering $600,000 bill so far just to keep her quiet.

Topics covered in this video:

👉 Institutional Betrayal: Why organisations protect predators and punish truth-tellers.

👉 The Whistleblower’s Toll: The impact on health, family, and finances for a single mother.

👉 Systemic Corruption: How evidence "disappears" when the perpetrator is one of their own.

👉 The Path Forward: How Kelly continues to navigate a broken system with her integrity intact.

He served 28 years in the Met. Counter-terrorism. Leadership. The front line of public safety.

Then the institution turned on him.

In this episode of The FEMCAST, as part of our Gaslit Brain Series, former Met Police officer Jonathan Wilson reveals how he was bullied, sidelined, and systematically gaslit by senior leadership after raising serious ethical concerns.

What happened to Jonathan wasn’t a “personality clash”.

It was institutional abuse — and the Casey Report later confirmed everything he tried to warn about: misogyny, racism, homophobia, bullying, nepotism, and catastrophic leadership failure at the heart of the Met.

This is the same broken culture that has allowed male violence against women to flourish on their watch — including by serving officers now jailed for femicide.

Dr Jen Fraser features Jonathan’s experience in her new book The Gaslit Brain, because his story is a chilling, real-world case study of how gaslighting operates at institutional level — and what it does to the human mind.

This is not just a policing scandal. It’s a public safety crisis, and it affects every one of us.

🎧 In this episode of The Gaslit Brain series on The FEMCAST, we dive into the chilling concept of malignant self-love — the driving force behind narcissism and psychopathy — as explored in Sam Vaknin’s groundbreaking book Malignant Self-Love.

We unpack what happens when people with no empathy or accountability rise to positions of power — from workplaces to politics — and how their behaviour corrodes entire systems. Through the story of a whistleblower who exposed corruption and paid the price, we reveal how society often protects toxic power while punishing truth-tellers.

This conversation shines a light on how narcissists manipulate, gaslight, and objectify others, creating environments that foster fear, silence, and mental harm. We explore why psychological safety must be recognised as a human right, and how empathy and education are our greatest defences against manipulation and abuse.

Join us as we expose the patterns of power and control — and imagine a future built on empathy, accountability, and safer communities for all.

💡 Listen now and learn how to spot the signs, protect yourself, and become part of the movement for change.

What happens when manipulation becomes a management style?

In this powerful listener-submitted story, we expose the hidden epidemic of psychological abuse and gaslighting in the workplace. From shifting goalposts to manufactured chaos and control, this episode unpacks the chilling tactics used by abusers— and the devastating toll it takes on victims’ mental and physical health.

We confront how organisations protect perpetrators, silence whistleblowers, and enable a culture of coercive control. Together, we explore why education, empathy, and resistance are vital to building psychologically safe workplaces and reclaiming our collective humanity.

🎙️ A must-listen for anyone who’s ever doubted their own reality at work.

The Gaslit Brain Series: When Empathy Wins

This week, empathy won.

With Catherine Connolly elected as Ireland’s new president, we’ve witnessed what it looks like when leadership is grounded in courage, clarity, and compassion — not control.

In this powerful episode of The Gaslit Brain on The FEMCAST, host Anita Whyte Moran and bestselling author Dr Jen Fraser — author of The Gaslit Brain — explore how empathy can rewire our brains, rebuild our workplaces, and reshape our societies.

They break down the neuroscience of empathy and gaslighting — from how domestic violence traps victims through “learned helplessness,” to how workplace abuse and political manipulation mirror the same patterns of psychological control.

Together, they ask: what happens when empathy disappears from leadership, and what kind of healing begins when it returns?

This episode dives deep into:
🧠 The neuroscience of empathy and control
💔 How gaslighting shows up in relationships, workplaces, and politics
🔥 Why domestic violence is the microcosm of wider social violence
🌍 How empathy-driven leadership can change everything

As Ireland embraces a new president who leads with empathy, we’re reminded that this isn’t softness — it’s strength.

Because when empathy vanishes, people break. But when it leads, humanity heals.

🎙️ The Gaslit Brain — a FEMCAST original series hosted by Anita Whyte Moran and Dr Jen Fraser.
