Have you ever felt like you’ve spent years supporting your husband, raising kids, running the home—and now that there’s finally space for you—you feel stuck?
In this episode, I’m answering a caller who shared that her husband has had huge career success (bonuses, boards, recognition), while she’s been the backbone of the family. Now that her kids are older, she’s craving more for herself—but she doesn’t feel like she has the power to make the big moves she wants to make.
Cue: resentment.
If you’ve ever felt envy, bitterness, or powerlessness in your marriage—even though you love your husband deeply—this episode is for you.
I dive into:
- Why resentment isn’t about him—it’s about what you’re making it mean
- What to do when you feel stuck in your role
- How to reclaim your power, purpose, and agency without waiting for permission
- The truth about money, motherhood, and making decisions as a team
- What resentment is really trying to tell you (and how to use it to evolve)
This is your guide to stop minimizing your role, stop giving your power away, and start leading your life with intention. You are not stuck—you’re just being called into your next chapter.
