Should I Stay or Should I Go? How to Handle Judgment, Shame, and Outside Opinions
In this week’s episode of The Illicit Feminine, host Elizabeth Marth continues the powerful exploration of the question: Should I stay or should I go? This time, she shifts the focus to the external—family, friends, culture, and community—and how their opinions, judgments, and projections can weigh heavily when you’re navigating decisions about your relationship.
Elizabeth unpacks how outside influences often mirror our own deepest fears and insecurities, and how setting boundaries, standing in your truth, and practicing self-love can help you hold steady when everything around you feels uncertain. She reminds listeners: this work is not about the choice to leave or stay—it’s about coming home to yourself.
Episode Highlights:
01:53 Introduction: Why external influences matter in the stay-or-go journey
03:30 The role of family, friends, and community when a woman questions her relationship
05:40 How judgment, blame, and shame from others mirror old wounds of rejection and abandonment
07:290Why boundaries are for you—not for others—and how to hold them with integrity
10:03 The discomfort of growth: why standing in your truth feels shaky but necessary
12:57 How to respond when others’ fears, beliefs, or past experiences are projected onto you
14:39 Tools to support your younger self when old wounds of rejection resurface
16:02 The deeper lesson: every challenge is a call to self-love and sovereignty
17:56 Invitation to Elizabeth’s new six-month journey for women ready to release confusion and reclaim clarity
