EP167: Who were you before you learned to be palatable?

At some point, most women learn that being themselves comes at a cost.So we soften. We shrink. We edit. We become easier to swallow.In this episode, Dana dives into the moment palatability entered the room—when being “too much” became something to fix, not honor. We unpack how being agreeable, low-maintenance, and likable is rewarded… and what it quietly steals from us in the process.This conversation is about unlearning the conditioning that taught you to be acceptable instead of authentic—and reclaiming the version of yourself that existed before you learned to manage other people’s comfort.You’re not here to be digestible.You’re here to be real.
