There’s a weight so many women carry quietly, a burden we don’t name, but feel every single day. In this episode, we explore the metaphor of the albatross: the emotional heaviness we hold when we avoid a truth, a conversation, a responsibility, or a part of ourselves that desperately needs our attention.

Inspired by Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, we’ll talk about the modern albatrosses we wear around our necks… the guilt, fear, shame, patterns, and expectations that follow us everywhere we go. And more importantly, we’ll uncover why the thing we’ve been avoiding might actually be the thing that unlocks our greatest freedom.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:
 ✨ What an “albatross” looks like in your everyday emotional world
 ✨ How avoidance drains your peace, your energy, and your confidence
 ✨ Why the thing you’re avoiding is often the most transformative next step
 ✨ How to gently name your albatross with compassion and honesty
 ✨ Small, doable steps to release the weight and return to yourself

This episode isn’t about shame.
 It’s about awareness.
 It’s about courage.
 It’s about choosing to stop running from the thing that keeps whispering for your attention.

The weight you’re carrying isn’t a life sentence. It’s an invitation.
To truth.
To clarity.
To freedom.
To yourself.

You’re enough. You’re worthy. You’re loved.
