Description
Somewhere along the way, women got the message that being open means being available. That vulnerability means unlimited access. That if you've ever shared a struggle publicly, you're now required to share all of them — to anyone who asks, in any form they want, on their timeline.
In this episode, Leah Pitzenberger draws a hard line between generosity and obligation. She gets honest about the pressure women feel to explain themselves — their choices, their boundaries, their silence — and why "you don't owe anyone your story" is not a warning against vulnerability. It's a reminder that your story belongs to you. All of it. Even the parts you haven't figured out yet. Even the parts that are still healing. Even the parts you just don't want to share.
Privacy is not the same as hiding. And you don't have to justify the difference to anyone.
