What If Everything You’ve Been Taught About Success, Worth, and Womanhood Was Never Meant for You?
What if the rules you’ve been trying so hard to follow—about how to succeed, how to be a “good” woman, how to prove your worth—were never actually designed with you in mind?
In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Brooke Jean, MA, LPC—therapist, coach, speaker, and host of The Unperfected Pod—for an unfiltered, soul-deep conversation about reclaiming your truth in a world that demands your perfection.
Brooke shares the personal stories that cracked her wide open: walking away from the “perfect” corporate life, surviving the ripple effects of community trauma, and facing the raw edges of postpartum depression. These weren’t just painful moments—they were invitations to wake up, unravel, and come home to herself.
Together, we explore:
Why the “good girl” script is a trap—and how it keeps women locked in burnout, self-doubt, and shame
The shift from outsourcing worth to owning it—and why this changes everything
How to feel your feelings without drowning in them or shutting them down
Moving from trauma stories to empowerment stories, without bypassing the very real pain
The radical wisdom of feminine rhythms—receiving, resting, nourishing, then creating
Why so many women feel disconnected, depleted, and unfulfilled—and how to begin reclaiming joy, wholeness, and purpose
Authenticity as a form of leadership—not a trend, but a transformation
This episode is part soul medicine, part revolution. Brooke doesn’t offer polished solutions or perfection. Instead, she offers truth, tenderness, and the powerful reminder that maybe you were never the problem.
Maybe you’ve just been trying to thrive within systems and stories that were never built for your brilliance.
So if you’ve ever felt like you’re too much, not enough, or just plain tired of chasing something that never feels like “it”—this conversation is your invitation to pause, soften, and remember:
You already have the power.
You just have to remember who you are.
