    Episode 726: The Truth About Strong Women, Self-Abandonment, and Learning to Say No with Allana Kaivalya
    May 13 2026
    This week, I'm back with Alanna Kaivalya, PhD, author of The Way of the Satisfied Woman and expert on mythology, feminine psychology, and spiritual empowerment. This is part two of our conversation, and it might be even better than the first. We picked up right where we left off, and Alanna came with receipts. She goes deep on the practical, embodied, sometimes uncomfortable work of actually stopping the self-abandonment cycle. Not just recognizing it, but interrupting it in real time. We talked about what it means to reclaim your energy from the people and systems that have been draining it, what happens in your relationships when you start saying no, and why so many of us are still waiting for permission we were never going to get. (Link to our first conversation is in the show notes.) What you'll hear about in this episode: The one practice Alanna teaches every woman first: tuning into your body's “sacred no” and how to use it as a real-time pattern interrupt before you abandon yourself again Why stopping your over-functioning will feel messy at first, and why that mess is the point, including the laundry that will pile up and why you should let it The feminine guilt trap: why women feel guilty not for what we've done, but for what someone else might feel, and how to tell the difference between genuine wrongdoing and simply inconveniencing people Why Alanna believes the “let them” philosophy is being used against us, and why she wants to make accountability sexy again instead What Alanna's own past relationship revealed about the danger of “masculine armor,” and what happens when a capable woman attracts a partner who uses her strength as permission to stop showing up Last, a reminder to follow me on Substack if you want to get my longer form writing I’ve been doing lately. I’ll be writing to unpack some pretty big topics, and would love to interact with listeners of the podcast over there 😀 Resources from this episode:Follow me on SubstackAlanna’s previous episode on the podcastAlanna’s websiteAlanna Kaivalya, PhD, is a bestselling author, educator, thought leader, and expert on mythology, spirituality, psychology, and women’s empowerment.

  • Episode 725: How to stop comparing your personal development journey to others

    Episode 725: How to stop comparing your personal development journey to others
    May 6 2026
    This solo episode from the archives comes from something one of my clients told me about, and it was the same thing I’ve heard from many women in this community. My client went to a live event-- a personal development sort of conference/retreat. She went alone, and this particular client is, like many people, massively uncomfortable with vulnerability, but really wanted to change and grow, so she did the vulnerable thing by going alone to this event. Everyone around her seemed to be having these massive breakthroughs, and she just... wasn't. I've been there and probably so have you. It's one of the most common and least-talked-about frustrations in personal growth. Today I'm getting into “comparisonitis”, specifically around your personal development journey, and why what you see other people experiencing has very little to do with what's actually available to you. What you'll take away from this episode: Comparing is normal and human and the goal isn't to stop, it's to notice it and get curious instead of staying stuck there Someone else's aha moment is happening through their lens, not yours. The same lesson can land as a 10 for them and a 2 for you, and that doesn't mean you're behind Sometimes you're just not ready and no amount of seminars will force a transformation before its time Most growth isn't seismic, it's small shifts, new tools, and slow perspective changes adding up over time There are seasons in this work. Transformation, healing, action, and rest. You don't have to be in overdrive all the time Stop measuring your journey against someone else's highlight reel and come back to what's actually in front of you. Listen to the episode as I talk more about what to do if you find yourself comparing your personal development journey to someone else’s.

    Episode 724: You're Not Waiting to Be Ready. You're Waiting to Be Safe.
    Apr 22 2026
    Facebook showed me a memory this week and I had to share it with you. (See it here!) Ten years ago I wrote that. Word for word, I still mean every single sentence. I've been saying some version of this for my entire career– write the thing, use your voice, stop waiting until you're brave enough or good enough or done caring what people think, because that day isn't coming and the regret of not starting is so much worse than the fear of beginning. The thing that’s different now, is the world. I mean, it was bad then in April of 2016, but we hadn’t even had DT’s first election into office yet. Today, women's voices have never been more needed or more threatened at the same time. The stories that get told shape what people believe is possible. The narratives that go unwritten leave a hole that no one else can fill, because no one else has your exact life, your exact perspective, your exact fingerprint on the page. This is why Shannon Kaiser and I created The Words You're Here to Write Masterclass. Not because the world needs more books. Because the world needs YOUR book. Your Substack, your essays, your voice. Your truth in whatever form it's asking to take. This is a 6-week live mentorship for women who are done waiting. You'll walk away with: ✓ A clearly defined and positioned writing project✓ A structural framework and 50+ pages of real written momentum✓ Cleared fears and roadblocks that have stalled the work✓ A publishing path and the confidence to use it✓ Freedom from the conditioning that taught you to stay silent✓ A community of women doing this work alongside you The program starts April 30th. Enrollment is open now. I've been saying this for ten years and I'll still be saying it in ten more. But I'd really love for you to not need me to say it anymore because you already did the thing.
