E37: Women Were Never Meant to Wait to Be Chosen

E37: Women Were Never Meant to Wait to Be Chosen

From fairy tales to dating culture, many women grow up believing their greatest goal is to be chosen by a man. But what if we’ve had it backwards? In this episode of I Choose the Bear, I explore the surprising parallels between nature and human relationships, where, in many species, males are the ones trying to impress females and females are the ones making the choice. I unpack how culture has shifted many women from evaluating a partner to seeking his approval, and why that mindset can leave us overlooking the questions that matter most. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Am I enough?” instead of “Is this relationship enough for me?” this episode is for you. Because healthy love isn’t about convincing someone you’re worthy of being chosen…it’s about two people choosing each other.

E35: Keep Going

There are seasons in life that don’t feel like living…they feel like surviving. Whether you’re still in an abusive relationship, navigating the aftermath of leaving, or carrying a sadness that feels heavier than words can describe, this episode is for you. In this episode, I share my own experience, “I’m not suicidal, but I don’t want to be alive like this” I offer encouragement for the woman who isn’t sure she can take another step.
