Psst… “the Man” thinks you look really really pretty in that little cage he put you in!

In this episode of “Therapy Made Me a Feminist,” we’re unboxing the “Good Girl Syndrome” and exploring how societal expectations shape our behaviors and self-worth. Join us as we break free from the mold and redefine what it means to be “good.”

Psst... just because you love them unconditionally doesn't mean you owe them endless tolerance!

In this episode, we dive into the true meaning of unconditional love and how the Man has twisted it into something it's not. We’re taught that to love unconditionally means to sacrifice our well-being, to tolerate mistreatment, and to put others' needs before our own, endlessly. But here’s the truth: love doesn’t require abandoning your boundaries. In fact, real love includes them.

Join us as we unpack the myth that unconditional means unprotected and explore how setting limits doesn’t diminish our love but strengthens it. We’ll discuss the power of boundaries, how to hold love and self-respect in the same space, and why saying enough can be the most loving choice of all. Because unconditional love doesn’t mean unconditional tolerance—it means staying true to ourselves and others, honestly.

Psst... "the Man" LIKES it when we struggle to understand each other!

In this episode, I team up with Meredith Ethington from Perfection Pending to explore how black-and-white thinking drives wedges between us, even within families. Together, we dive into the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways "the Man" fuels division, making it harder to find common ground or true understanding.

We also discuss my vision for SafeHuman, a resource in the making that would aim to provide a lifeline for anyone in crisis who feels alone and without support. We talk about why access to safe, understanding connections is essential and how SafeHuman could help bridge the gap for those in need.

Tune in for an eye-opening conversation about unity, support, and the power of seeing the full spectrum in others.

Psst… “the Man” wants to take all your crayons away!

What if “the Man” wants you to live in black and white? In this episode of Therapy Made Me a Feminist, we’re diving into how society often stifles our creativity, pushing us into a limited, colorless way of living. 🎨 From gray corporate offices to rigid “all-or-nothing” thinking, we explore how "the Man" keeps us from experiencing life in full color—both literally and symbolically.

We’ll touch on the history of these constraints, how trauma impacts our ability to see nuance, and ways to break free through creativity, mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Let’s reclaim our vibrancy and live a life that’s bold, expressive, and unapologetically colorful. 🌟
