Descripción

At some point, being the “bigger person” stops being growth and starts becoming self-abandonment. In this episode, we’re talking about the uneasy side of people-pleasing, the guilt, the overthinking, the fear of seeming “mean.” I’m sharing stories of times I stayed quiet when I should’ve spoken up, said yes when I meant hell no, and kept the peace while I fell apart inside. We’re also getting into how therapy helped me realize that boundaries aren’t rude, silence isn’t noble, and shrinking myself to make others comfortable isn’t love, it’s survival. If you’ve ever felt exhausted from being the dependable one, the understanding one, the “I’ll let it go” one… this episode is for you. Let’s talk about why setting boundaries is a form of self-respect, and why you don’t owe anyone your silence just to be likable. It’s time to retire the bigger person. She’s tired. She deserves peace too.

03. Marriage: Cheat Code for Men, Hustle Mode for Women

Why do married men tend to earn more, while women don’t see the same career boost? In this episode, I dive into the “marriage premium” backed by studies from the St. Louis Federal Reserve, Pew Research, and more, and break down why marriage often works like a career cheat code for men. From Olivia Pope’s truth bombs in Scandal to the real-life story of Big Eyes painter Margaret Keane, we’ll explore how women have historically been the hidden force behind success—without the recognition. I’ll also share personal stories from my own life, funny Reddit takes, and cultural commentary that’ll make you laugh while you think. Spoiler: the guys yelling “she’ll take half!” usually only have about $3k in their bank account. So grab your cafecito and tune in—we’re talking money, marriage, validation, and why women have always been their own biggest hype squad.
