Being strong, capable, and self-sufficient is often celebrated, but for many women, independence isn’t empowerment, it’s a nervous system survival strategy.

In this episode, we explore how hyper-independence forms when your body learns it can’t safely rely on others, but how this is also part of your power in discerning who CAN support you and who CAN’TWe unpack how this shows up in relationships, why receiving can feel uncomfortable, and how attraction patterns shift when the nervous system learns that closeness doesn’t equal danger.

You’ll learn the difference between dependence, independence, and healthy interdependence, and why true sovereignty includes the capacity to discern, lean, receive, and co-create with others from conscious choice.
