Why Strong Women Struggle to Ask for What They Need

In this episode, Perry explores why so many women struggle to say no, ask for what they need, or speak up without guilt. She weaves together psychology, history, culture, and nervous system science to help you understand that your difficulty with boundaries is not a personal failure — it’s an adaptation. If you’ve ever rehearsed what you wanted to say and then softened it…If you’ve ever said “I’m fine” when you weren’t…If you’ve agreed to something that drained you and later felt resentful… This conversation is for you.
