The Selfish Woman

Society EN ↓ 144 episodes

Selfish is the key that unlocks the dungeon. This is feminism for the woman who's been in the trenches of life for decades. The kind that comes from surviving marriages, rebuilds, and decades of following rules that were never heard. The confession booth for women who are done being good.

Ep. 110: Why Women Don't Ask (And What It's Costing Us) 21.07.2025

We've been told our whole lives not to want too much, need too much, or ask for more.  So we don't.

Because I'm going to do this my way and just like Sinatra, baby, we're all learning this together.  I...
