Yeah. Same. And that’s exactly why this conversation with Dr. Mindy Pelz hit me so damn hard. Because somewhere along the way, so many of us learned that love had to be earned. That being “good,” “pretty,” “useful,” or “low-maintenance” was the price of belonging. And before we even realize it, we’ve completely lost our voice. In this episode, Dr. Mindy and I go deep into why women stop trusting themselves, how culture conditions us to abandon our own needs, and what it actually takes to reclaim your confidence, boundaries, and sense of self… without guilt. This is not about fixing what’s “wrong” with you. It’s about remembering who you were before the world told you to shrink. And homie… if you’ve ever felt exhausted from trying to be lovable - this one’s for you. Here’s exactly what we dive into: - Why girls lose their voice around puberty and how that sets us up for boundary issues later - The invisible “burden bag” women carry to earn love (and why it’s draining our health) - The 8 science-backed ways to get your voice back and stop outsourcing your worth - How oxytocin can keep women stuck in toxic relationships (and how to break free) - The three types of women you need in your circle: butterflies, potentialists, and anchors - The powerful “lime tree” metaphor that shows what real feminine strength looks like Chapter Titles Follow Dr. Mindy Pelz: Website: https://drmindypelz.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrMindyPelz Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.mindypelz Follow Me, Lisa Bilyeu: Website: https://www.lisabilyeu.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisabilyeu/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisabilyeu Want to search through every episode, explore specific topics, or ask me questions directly?
