Hey friend, hey!
Welcome to Episode 7 of Season 7 of The Self Love Podcast by Love, Maaden, "Take Off The Cape." We're setting the table around the scriptural truth in Psalm 4:8, declaring God as our peaceful sanctuary and the source of rest, especially when societal pressures move us to don the invisible cape of "superwomen."
The weight of being everything to everyone is a burden generations of women have shouldered. In this episode, we dissect the challenges tied to this expectation, exploring strategies through scripture, science, and self-care to reshape what it means to show up for ourselves and those around us. We reflect on the roles and demands placed on women and the emotional and sometimes physical impact of the expectations. We also share our personal self-care practices and experiences where turning to God really has provided relief from the burden, allowing us to hang up the cape.
Our practice is to commit to a nightly assessment this week. It’s quick and doable. Here’s how:
Reflect on how you showed up each day with grace.
Release any unrealistic expectations from yourself or others.
Set boundaries around what you will and won’t carry into the next day.
Relinquish the rest, finding solace in God's peace.
We also both opened the episode with a “leav it” this week. Mine was a beauty product that you can skip, and Tennille’s is hilarious. Tune in to find out!
Thank you for joining us for another week. We are grateful for you, and you are so loved.
Love, Maaden
