Sexuality and Stigma: Why Misogyny Fears Women’s Freedom 06.01.2025

In this episode, we dive headfirst into the cultural and systemic issue of misogyny and how it specifically targets women who are open about their sexuality. From the historical roots of slut-shaming to the damaging double standards that persist today, we explore how society polices women’s bodies and choices. We also discuss the personal and societal cost of these toxic norms, why empowerment thr...

Self Love: The Ultimate Act of Rebellion 17.04.2023

When was the last time you showed yourself the kind of love you give so freely to others? In a world that profits from our insecurities, choosing self-love is nothing short of a revolutionary act—and in this episode, we’re breaking it all down. Self-love isn’t just about bubble baths and feel-good mantras (though we’re all for that too). It’s about setting boundaries, embracing your worth, and rew...

Self-Sabotage: Breaking Free from Your Own Worst Enemy 12.09.2022

Why do we stand in the way of our own success? Why do we set goals, dream big, and then—without warning—pull the rug out from under ourselves? In this episode, we’re diving deep into the messy, frustrating, and all-too-common phenomenon of self-sabotage. Whether it’s procrastination, perfectionism, or that little voice in your head whispering “you’re not good enough,” self-sabotage can hold us bac...

Rape Culture: Breaking the Silence, Challenging the Norms 05.09.2022

In this powerful and unfiltered episode, we tackle the pervasive issue of rape culture—how it’s woven into our everyday lives, the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways it shows up, and what we can do to challenge it. Rape culture isn’t just about individual acts—it’s about the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors that normalize or excuse violence, harassment, and inequality. But the good news? Change begi...

Overstepping: When Boundaries Are Crossed and Lines Are Blurred 29.08.2022

In this episode, we’re diving into the art of boundaries—or more accurately, what happens when they’re ignored, crossed, or completely trampled. Whether it’s that friend who “borrows” too much of your time, a coworker who overshares a little too much, or even your own tendency to push limits, overstepping is a boundary issue we all encounter. But how do we recognize it, address it, and make sure w...

Fawning: When People-Pleasing Becomes Survival 25.04.2022

We’re kicking off Season 2 with a deep dive into a topic many of us can relate to but rarely discuss: fawning . You’ve heard of fight, flight, and freeze, but what about fawning? This often-overlooked trauma response is all about people-pleasing as a means of self-preservation. But where does it come from, and how can it impact our relationships, mental health, and sense of self? In this episode,...
