What happens when a woman is proud of herself? When she celebrates her wins without apologizing?

If you've been conditioned to believe that pride is dangerous, that being "too much" will cost you friends, safety, or likability, this episode is for you.

This week, we're diving into why women have been taught to shrink, stay humble, and never claim their gifts. We explore what we're teaching our daughters when we downplay our own abilities and why it feels safer to be underestimated than celebrated.

Your playing small serves no one. Shining brightly gives other women permission to do the same.

This episode is part of a multi-part exploration inspired by the work of On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen. You don't need to have read the book to tune in. You’re welcome to join wherever you are.

What if the difficulty you've experienced in female friendships isn't actually about you, but about something we've all inherited?

In this episode, I'm joined by Katherine Phifer, a mentor in feminine energetics and leadership. We dive deep into the sisterhood wound—a generational pattern that affects how women show up in relationships with each other and explore what it takes to build authentic, life-giving friendships as mothers.

We explore:

• What the sisterhood wound is and where it comes from
• The difference between friends, community, and your village
• The language we use about other women and what it reveals

This episode shows us that you can show up as yourself and be in relationships that are life-giving and authentic, but it requires conscious work to heal the patterns we've inherited.

We'd love to hear what you think!

Envy is one of those things we’re not supposed to talk about, especially as mothers. But what if it’s not something to fix or suppress, but rather to examine?

In this episode, Shannon explores envy as a signal rather than a flaw. The moments where other women irritate us, trigger us, or make us uncomfortable often point to desires we’ve learned to ignore, downplay, or explain away.

We talk about comparison, judgment, generational conditioning, and the quiet ways women are taught to stay small, and what becomes possible when we get honest about what we actually want.

This isn’t a call to self-improvement or confidence-building.
It’s merely an invitation to notice what stirs, without rushing to make meaning of it.
