About this episode
This episode explores why strong independent women often feel alone in relationships despite their capabilities.
You handle everything. You've built a life that proves you don't need anyone. So why does it still feel like nobody really sees you? In this episode, we get into why the very thing that makes you so capable is the same thing keeping real intimacy out - and where it all started. Join me inside Becoming Her - the group where self-aware women who are ready to go deeper than therapy come to liberate themselves from their wounds and patterns and into magnetism and mature love.
