What really is toxic femininity—and how is it shaping our lives, relationships, and sense of self? In this powerful episode of Hey Soul Sista, I chat with mindfulness teacher Charlotte Thaarup about how cultural conditioning teaches women to be “nice” and self-sacrificing, and how those patterns can become toxic.
We explore everyday examples—like people-pleasing, gossip, victimhood, and indirect communication—and how they play out in friendships, workplaces, and relationships. Charlotte also shares practical tools for breaking free from these scripts and stepping into authenticity, accountability, and freedom.
If you’ve ever struggled with being “too nice” or dimming your truth, this conversation will inspire you to reflect, reset, and reclaim your voice.
