Send us Fan MailThere's something really interesting about getting older as a woman.I think most of us spend our 20s worrying about things that, with hindsight, didn't matter at all....Our bodies.What people think.Whether we're getting it right.Whether we're too much.Not enough.Too loud.Too needy.Too independent.Too emotional.Then somewhere along the way we hit our 40s and think:Jesus Christ. What was I worrying about?This week's conversation with Jen went in all sorts of directions. Boundaries. People pleasing. Confidence. Saying no. The fear of disappointing people. The stories we tell ourselves about what will happen if we stop making everyone else comfortable.And one thing kept coming up again and again.How often women abandon themselves without even realising they're doing it.I loved this conversation. It's honest, funny, thoughtful and one of those chats where you find yourself nodding along thinking...oh thank god, it's not just me.enjoy.Here is the RAIN practice recording. https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-g6t5e-11c8f85Jen Maxwell is a feminine leadership guide, fire walking facilitator, tantra teacher, and creator of the RISE™ Framework.
