Why do so many brilliant, capable women feel like they’re never enough, no matter how hard they try?

This episode dives deep beneath the surface of perfectionism to reveal its true roots, not in personal ambition, but in systemic control. What if the pressure to "get it right," look the part, and keep everyone happy isn’t 'how you are'.. but a deeply ingrained tool of the patriarchal playbook?

You’ll hear:

• How perfectionism subtly shapes our careers, relationships, and self-worth
• Why the "inner critic" might actually be a survival voice passed down through generations
• The emotional toll of chasing an ideal that was never designed to be achievable
• And most importantly: a new, liberating path forward

This episode is not just a mindset shift. It’s the reclamation of a different path. Let's begin your journey out of the perfectionism trap.

If you’ve ever questioned your worth, even while achieving extraordinary things, this episode is for you. I'm pulling back the curtain on the hidden roots of the "impostor syndrome", tracing its quiet but tenacious ties to the structures of patriarchy.

You’ll discover why so many brilliant, capable women (just like you) doubt themselves, and why it’s not our fault.

It's not our fault but it's our responsibility to rewrite the story and to stop perpetuating the idea the women "have the impostor syndrome". So press play and start seeing your self-doubt through an entirely new lens.

Why so many women are afraid of visibility? In this episode, we look at the systemic reason (beyond personal stories and triggers). We look into how centuries of persecutions have left scars on our collective memory, shifted the balance of power, and altered the course of women's lives for generations.

Join me for a thought-provoking episode today and a journey into the untold consequences of the massive persecutions from the past. You will discover why understanding this hidden history might just change the way you see the present.

Tune in to explore:

• The real reasons women were accused — and what made them a threat
• How fear, division, and control reshaped entire communities
• Why this story is not just about the past, but about reclaiming power today

This is a story that deserves to be remembered and understood correctly. Let's dive into the episode

In this episode with my client Amina Sellal we delve into the process of building her business. Amina came to me when she had 100k followers on Instagram- but no business. In this episode she shares her journey as a content creator that helps women understand the connection between their symptoms and lifestyle choices and the impact on their health. She also shares the different milestones we worked on together

• including the creation of her mailing list Hormone Harmony Club
• her website
• and the Hormone Harmony Reset program.

As a teacher of hormones and feminine cycles, Amina deeply understood the power of cyclical living. But as many of us know, even when we understand its power, fully embodying and integrating it into our daily lives and businesses can be surprisingly challenging. We think we’re living in tune with our cycles… but often, we’re not.

Through our work together, Amina began applying the Feminine Creative Cycle Framework in a real, embodied way — and it became the foundation for building a business that’s not only sustainable, but deeply aligned with her natural rhythms.
