Episode 7: Whew, this one goes deep, y’all. 💥 If you’re an empathic, heart-centered woman (hello, most of us!) who’s staying in a marriage because you don’t want to hurt your partner… this episode is a loving wake-up call. 💔✨

I’m breaking down how guilt—especially the guilt we’ve been trained to carry—keeps us spinning in confusion and stuck in marriages that no longer align with our truth. And let’s be honest: most of us were raised in patriarchal systems that taught us to prioritize everyone else’s comfort over our own clarity. 😩

In this episode, we’ll dive into:
 🔁 Why guilt feels so heavy (and how patriarchy planted that seed)
 🧠 The coaching principle that changed everything for me: you are not responsible for other people’s feelings
👀 What to watch for when a partner is guilting or manipulating you to stay
🚫 Why emotional protest behavior isn't love—it’s control dressed up in “I miss you”
🔥 What real, mature love sounds like (and why you deserve that kind of partnership)
🌱 How to reclaim your power, set boundaries, and stop contorting yourself to keep the peace

I’ll also share my own personal stories (including some seriously ✨Taylor Swift “Blank Space” vibes✨ from my dating life) to show how this stuff plays out in real time—and why it’s so freeing to stop carrying responsibility for other people’s reactions.

Here’s your permission slip, friend: you get to make the right choice for YOU, even if it disappoints someone else. You are not selfish. You are sovereign. 💪💫
