Welcome to Season 4, Episode 3 of the Woman Uncaged Podcast!
What happens when you realize that the life you’ve built—and even the relationships you’ve nurtured—don’t actually reflect who you are? In this conversation, we dive into how so many women begin silencing their true voices in adolescence just to belong, and how that survival strategy often follows us into adulthood. The result? Friendships that drain instead of nourish, partnerships where we feel unseen, and a nagging fear that if we stopped performing, there might be nothing left of us underneath.
We talk honestly about what it takes to unbury that authentic self—why the process can feel terrifying, why midlife often brings this reckoning, and how to begin gently reclaiming your own voice. We share tools, stories, and encouragement for navigating this journey with patience and courage. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this really me?” or longed for relationships that truly fill you up, this episode is for you.
Books mentioned:
Why Does Patriarchy Persist by Carol Gilligan and Naomi Snider
