Every Womyn and Her Dog – Episode 6

So many women have become experts at coping.

Holding everything together.
 Managing everyone else.
 Pushing through exhaustion.
 Functioning on autopilot while quietly feeling disconnected from themselves.

And because they’re still “doing life,” no one realises they’re surviving.

In this episode of Every Womyn & Her Dog, we unpack the difference between coping and truly thriving — and why so many women normalise survival mode without even realising it.

Joined by Katelyn Dwyer-Taylor this conversation explores the hidden emotional load women carry, the conditioning that keeps them stuck in over-functioning, and what begins to shift when a woman decides she wants more than just “getting through.”

Together, we explore:

• The hidden signs a woman is surviving rather than thriving
• Why coping is often praised and normalised in women
• The emotional, mental, and physical impact of living in survival mode
• How conditioning, roles, expectations, and life experiences shape coping patterns
• The disconnect many women feel from themselves, their needs, and their desires
• What starts to shift when a woman stops settling for survival
• Why thriving isn’t about perfection — but reconnection
• The discomfort and identity shifts that can come with choosing more for yourself

This conversation is for the woman who quietly feels exhausted by constantly “holding it all together.”

The woman who looks functional on the outside… but internally feels flat, disconnected, overwhelmed, or like she’s simply existing.

Because maybe coping was never meant to become your permanent way of life.

And maybe there’s more available for you than just surviving.
