Why do so many women feel exhausted, invisible, and disconnected from their true selves—yet still try to be "liked" by everyone? In this firecracker episode of The Hint Hive, host Kelly Hint unpacks the insidious conditioning that teaches women to prioritize being nice over being real. From childhood messaging and media myths to the workplace penalty for being assertive, Kelly calls out the systems that reward self-sacrifice and punish boldness.
You’ll learn how the pressure to be likeable leads to burnout, weak boundaries, lost identity, and missed opportunities—and how internalized misogyny fuels the whole damn machine. But this episode isn’t just truth bombs—it’s a blueprint for change. Kelly shares powerful, practical steps to help you stop people-pleasing, start honoring your desires, and reclaim your voice unapologetically.
If you’re ready to stop shrinking and start showing up as your full, messy, powerful self, this episode is your permission slip—and your rally cry.
