Unmasking the Pressure: How Societal Expectations Hold Women Back w/ Michelle Gauthier

In this episode of the Podcast with guest Michelle Gauthier, we dive into the wild world of societal pressures that have us women bending over backward to people-please and chase perfection like it's a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. We're here to spill the tea on why self-awareness and setting boundaries are your new best friends. I’m all about shouting from the rooftops that it's time to put our own well-being at the top of the to-do list, way above those pesky societal expectations. Tune in for some juicy, practical strategies to embrace your authentic self and rock that self-care game. Let's shake off those ingrained behaviors and strut into a life that's fulfilling and empowered! What we covered:  - Personal experiences with stress, burnout, and self-care practices.- The impact of societal rules and expectations on women.- The pressures of perfectionism and the unrealistic standards women face.- The influence of appearance and societal judgments on women's self-image.- The concept of people-pleasing and its roots in socialization.- The importance of self-awareness in recognizing people-pleasing behaviors.- Strategies for setting boundaries and prioritizing personal needs.- The significance of authenticity in personal growth and fulfillment.- Encouragement for women to challenge societal norms and embrace their true selves.- The hope for future generations to be more aware and empowered in their choices. ✨ Stay Connected and Take Your Self-Care Journey to the Next Level ✨Hey there!
