This episode is about boundaries, autonomy, and the subtle ways women are conditioned to shrink, soften, and over-accommodate in order to maintain peace.
We talk about:
• Why centering your own needs is not selfish
• The difference between communication and control
• Why advocating for yourself may disappoint people who benefited from your compliance
• The importance of privacy, respect, and mutual effort in long-term partnership
If your self-advocacy makes someone uncomfortable, that discomfort is not automatically your responsibility to fix.
This conversation is about clarity. Not cruelty.
Respect. Not rebellion.
And choosing yourself without apology.
