It’s more like a therapist-informed group chat, poolside conversation, and existential crisis debrief all rolled into one.</p><p>We talk about the stuff high-achieving women quietly struggle with:</p><ul><li>why you can explain your patterns but still repeat them</li><li>why rest feels unsafe</li><li>why setting boundaries feels like guilt with a calendar invite</li><li>why success doesn’t automatically create self-worth</li><li>and why being “the strong one” is exhausting</li></ul><p>Some episodes are funny. Some are vulnerable. Some feel like the conversation you wish someone would’ve had with you years ago.</p><p>If you’re trying to become a healthier, more authentic version of yourself—without toxic positivity or pretending to have it all figured out—you’re in the right place.</p><p><br></p><p>New episodes weekly.</p><p>Reach out to Elizabeth directly at <a href=\"https://themichiganlpcsupervisor.com/contact\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">ecarrlpc@gmail.com</a></p>","author_name":"Elizabeth Carr"}
