February 24, 2026 Maya's People-Pleasing Problem: Self-Abandonment 101
You've been so busy taking care of everyone else that you forgot to take care of yourself. Sound familiar?
In this episode, we follow Maya a composite of the clients I see every single day, a woman who says yes when she means no, apologizes for taking up space, and has completely lost herself in the process. People-pleasing isn't just a bad habit. It's a trauma response. And in under 20 minutes, we're breaking down exactly how self-abandonment shows up, why you do it, and what it's really costing you.
This one is personal. Take it that way.

February 10, 2026 Joan's Control Issues: When Perfectionism Ruins Everything
Joan Clayton had the career, the house, the plan... and the anxiety to match. In this premiere episode of "Lessons from Girlfriends," we're breaking down why the most successful people often struggle the hardest with control and what Joan's perfectionism can teach us about our own patterns.
In this episode, we explore:→ Perfectionism as a trauma response→ Why career wins don't fix emotional wounds→ The exhaustion of trying to control everything (and everyone)→ Cultural pressure on Black women to "have it all together"→ How micromanaging relationships backfires every time
If you've ever been called "the planner" of your friend group or felt like everything falls apart when you're not in control... this one's for you.
Episode Takeaway: Identify one area where you're over-controlling and practice letting go. Control is an illusion. Influence is what you actually have.
