If you’ve ever felt undervalued as a woman, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Satisfied Woman Podcast, I name the invisible labor women do every single day—the emotional work, relational work, and regulatory work that quietly holds families, relationships, workplaces, and communities together.

Women are the emotional calibrators of their spaces. When things fall apart, people don’t go looking fo...

In this episode of The Satisfied Woman Podcast, I issue a radical 2026 challenge for women who are exhausted, overextended, and quietly self-abandoning: just stop.

Stop overgiving.
Stop saying yes when your body says no.
Stop carrying what isn’t yours.

We explore why women are conditioned to overdo, overfunction, and absorb e...

Have you ever felt guilty — not because you did something wrong, but because you thought you might disappoint someone else?

That’s feminine guilt. It’s not about your behavior being out of alignment, it’s about carrying the emotional weight of everyone around you. And it’s one of the biggest reasons women stay stuck in overgiving, burnout, and resentment.

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
