Nobody ever handed us a rulebook for becoming a woman.

Somehow, though, we still learned one.

In this episode of Just Breathe Confessionals, I'm reflecting on the invisible lessons so many of us pick up without ever realizing it—from carrying an emergency alarm and texting when we get home, to apologizing before we speak, smiling so other people feel comfortable, and wondering who decided these were the rules in the first place.

Along the way, I talk about Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret., Pleasantville, growing up, body image, safety, and the quiet expectations that shape us long before we know they're there.

Because maybe growing up isn't about following the script we've been handed.

Maybe it's about realizing we're allowed to rewrite it.

Welcome to Just Breathe Confessionals.
