Life Happens with Barb & Michelle

Ep. 161 - Embracing the Strength and Power of Women


Listen Later

In this week's all new episode, in celebration of Women's History Month, Barb and Michelle dedicate this episode to YOU—to all women.

They unpack the struggles women face daily—from the impossibly high expectations to the ongoing battle for equality. If you’ve ever felt like you were too much, too little, or simply not enough, this episode is for you.

Here are some key takeaways from today’s episode:

  • Be aware of societal expectations. The beauty standards, lifestyle pressures, and timelines imposed on us are often unrealistic. Release the need to conform to them.
  • Give yourself grace. Who you are and what you do is already more than enough. Trust your own timing and path, even if it looks different from others.
  • Support other women. Show up for the women in your life—listen, check in, and uplift them whenever you can.
  • Speak Up. Push back or speak up when you can against injustice, even in small ways. Sometimes, simply validating someone’s experience by saying, “That wasn’t okay, and you were treated unfairly,” can make a difference.
