EPISODE 1: What Have You Been Carrying?

Show Notes:

Title: What Have You Been Carrying? (Shed & Shine Ep. 1)

Length: ~13 mins

Description:

In this premier episode, Dr. Sarah Lee invites you to pause and ask a radical question: what if the path you're on isn't yours—but one you inherited? Sarah explores how social conditioning shapes our ambitions, our worth, and our voice. This episode blends psychology, soul, and a deep exhale of truth.

What You’ll Learn:

Why women (especially from marginalized backgrounds) often carry inherited stories of “success”

How social identity theory and stereotype threat impact career decisions

Why reclaiming your own story is necessary to forge forward and find freedom
