If you’ve ever felt the weight of holding everything together—at work, at home, and in your relationships—this episode is for you.

This week on Female Fridays, I sit down with Roxy Couse, the creator known as The Millennial Manager. Roxy has built a community of nearly half a million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn by telling the truth about corporate life, burnout, and what it really means to choose yourself.

Together, Roxy and I unpack what it looks like to:

• Build a personal brand that feels silly until it works—and embarrassing until it creates freedom
• Let go of being “superhuman” as a defense mechanism
• Redefine success outside of your 9-to-5
• Choose joy that isn’t tied to productivity
• Trust that what’s meant for you won’t miss you

Roxy shares her journey from Senior Director in tech to full-time creator, her viral Love Letters to My 30s series, and the brave decision to walk away from a corporate job that no longer aligned with her peace.

This episode is for the high achievers, the eldest daughters, and the corporate superwomen who feel like everyone else has permission to crumble—just not them. If you’ve ever wondered whether choosing yourself is too risky, Roxy’s story will feel like permission to breathe again.

Key Themes:

• Personal branding for professionals
• Burnout and boundaries in corporate culture
• Eldest daughter syndrome & perfectionism
• Millennial career transitions
• Mental health and therapy for high achievers
• Female empowerment and leadership
