S1E03 Choose You
09/06/22 • 46 min
In this episode Bianca is joined by Amy C. Willis and Michelle Cruz to talk about a hidden source of rage for many folks who identify as women: the neglected need of choosing you.
As women, we are socialized to always be of service to others and to leave ourselves last, which of course leads to burnout, depression and can even drive some to the trenches of addiction and suicide. Bianca, Amy and Michelle help us identify the many places where we can start choosing ourselves. They guide us through some of the challenges we might face and they remind us of the wonderful treasure that we will find on the other side.

BiancaShe's belly crawling like a soldier y'all you can see her, but she's belly crawling like a soldier.
