You're not stuck - you were just given the wrong rules.

Welcome to the kickoff of my 4-part podcast series Feminine Freedom, where I share the raw, real story behind my wake-up call—from doing everything “right” (and burning out in the process) to redefining success on my own terms.

We’re in a moment where more women are starting businesses, climbing the ladder, and stepping into leadership—but at what cost? Society still expects us to “do it all,” and it’s driving us straight into exhaustion.

This episode explores what happens when we stop grinding and start flowing. I’ll walk you through how I went from achievement-addicted and chronically stressed to reclaiming my health, stepping out of default domestic roles, reprogramming my beliefs around money, and finally… finding a deeper sense of freedom and joy.

Whether you're a high-achiever, a recovering perfectionist, or a woman craving a different way—this series is for you.

We’ll explore:

• Why burnout hits women harder (and why it’s not your fault)
• How I unknowingly brought my hustle home
• The moment I made a 5-figure investment in myself with no job (and why it changed everything)
• Why the old rules of success don’t work—and what to do instead

This is more than a podcast. It’s a permission slip. A new manual for success, designed by women—for women.

Upcoming episodes will dive into:
→ Health (your body isn’t a machine)
→ Home (ditch the domestic default)
→ Wealth (bold self-investment & feminine money)
→ Happiness (joy as a metric of success)
