In this mini I talk about the overlooked struggles of being a conventionally attractive woman—not to compare pain, but to highlight a specific kind. From being seen as a commodity to facing constant judgment and objectification—these issues aren't about beauty itself, but they're all actually rooted in misogyny. I reflect on public figures like Britney Spears and Amanda Bynes, and how the pressure to perform beauty has driven some ...
This episode was supposed to be a mini, but it definitely wasn't! This month, I unpack the truth behind lust, and how it’s typically deeper than just being horny. I explore how lust is often a symptom of unhealed trauma, repressed emotions, and a desperate hunger for connection and validation. From the different ways men and women experience and express it, to the way it masks as empowerment or desire but often stems from wounds. I...

In this episode, I’m getting real about aging as a woman. Patriarchal society has told women that aging is a curse and something to dread, and that beauty has an expiration date. But that is simply not the truth. In this mini, I share my thoughts on why holding positive perspectives on aging isn’t just healthier, it’s actually more realistic.
