Episode #44: The Guilt Trap: Why Women Feel Responsible for Everyone Else’s Feelings (Stop Overgiving & Start Reclaiming Power)

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.

In this episode of The Satisfied Woman Podcast, I unpack:
✨ The difference between healthy guilt vs. feminine guilt
✨ Why women feel responsible for everyone else’s feelings
✨ How cultural conditioning + evolutionary biology fuel our guilt
✨ The hidden cost of emotional labor on women
✨ A 7-day “No Apologies” Challenge to help you reclaim sovereignty

It’s time to stop shrinking, stop apologizing, and start standing fully in your feminine power.
