About this listen

Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I’m not like other women”?

In this episode, we explore where that quiet need to be “chosen” comes from — and how so many of us learned, often without realizing it, to please, adapt, and shrink ourselves just to feel safe, seen, and loved.


I share my own story of unlearning the “pick-me” pattern — from being agreeable and easygoing to finally embracing my full, authentic voice.

You’ll hear about how social conditioning, media ideals, and early praise for being “the good girl” shaped our generation — and how to slowly break free from that cycle with compassion and awareness.


This episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t have to be different to be worthy.

You don’t have to earn your place.

You don’t need to be chosen — you already belong.
