What if the most selfless act you could take… is the one that disappoints everyone else?

If you’ve been conditioned to believe that love is earned through over-giving, self-sacrifice, and constantly pleasing others—this episode of The Femme Cast might shake something deep within you. I know, because for most of my life, I was the woman who believed that being “good” meant abandoning myself. I gave until I was empty. I performed for approval. I said yes when my soul was screaming no.

And then… I did the unthinkable.

In 2016, I bought a one-way ticket to Southeast Asia. No plan. No approval. Just a whisper from my heart that said: go. That trip cracked open everything I thought I knew about love, worthiness, and what it truly means to live in integrity with yourself.

In this raw and transformational episode, I’m sharing:

  • The toxic beliefs women are taught about love, sacrifice, and self-worth
  • Why people-pleasing is not love—it’s a survival pattern rooted in fear of rejection
  • The truth about being a "good woman" vs. being a sovereign woman
  • How to break free from codependent conditioning and reclaim your desires
  • The power of doing the "unpleasing thing" and why it’s the most courageous, selfless thing you can do
  • How one bold decision changed the entire trajectory of my life
  • A daily challenge to help you reclaim your voice, your truth, and your freedom

This episode is your permission slip to disappoint everyone else—so you can finally stop abandoning yourself.

You don’t need a logical reason to follow your heart. You just need to trust that your inner knowing is reason enough.

Let this be the sign you’ve been waiting for.
