Ever felt that tug to be liked while also wanting to stop caring what anyone thinks? We go straight at that tension and unpack a more honest path: receiving deeply without handing away your power. Instead of preaching cold self-sufficiency or chasing approval, I share show how to anchor in your body, honour real needs and build secure, reciprocal relationships.

It starts by naming the subtle ways the get loop shows up: replaying conversations, over-explaining, scanning for cues, or bending to keep the peace. From there, we explore the difference between wounded and divine feminine energy, why control over perception is a losing game, and how grief, boundaries and self-trust shape who gets to be close. You’ll hear a clear, lived distinction between hustling for validation and grounded receptivity, brought to life through a vivid restaurant analogy: fully savour what nourishes, lovingly set aside what doesn’t, and keep your centre even when others project or pout.

This conversation reaches into business, dating and family life with practical takeaways you can use today. Learn to treat desire as data rather than a problem to hide, shift from grasping to receivership, and build a filter that protects your energy. When you stop managing other people’s stories, overflow becomes possible: better habits, richer support, cleaner boundaries and connections that actually feel safe. If you’re ready to stop walking on eggshells and start letting goodness land, this one will meet you where you are and call you higher.
