In this episode, I’m talking about the Cornell 7, the “not all men” conversation, and the reality of living as a woman in a world where we’re constantly taught how to protect ourselves, yet so often questioned when something happens to us. This episode isn’t me saying that every man is dangerous. It’s about why so many women feel like we have to be cautious all the time, why we don’t always know who is safe, and why somehow the blame so often ends up being put back on us. I know this is a heavy conversation, but I felt like it was something I needed to talk about. I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone, that your fear is valid, and that there is power in women talking about these things openly and believing each other. 🤍 Trying Not to Care is sponsored by Fabletics - Shop now at fabletics.com/TNTC to get 70- 80% off everything when you sign up as a new VIP.

Being kind doesn’t make you a pushover...being kind without boundaries does. 😐 In this episode, I talk about the difference between having a good heart and abandoning yourself to keep everyone else comfortable. I also break down 5 practical ways to be kind without being a pushover: 1. Being kind without needing to sacrifice your boundaries 2. Give because you want to, not because you feel obligated to 3. Be soft in tone but firm in substance 4. Be interested without becoming responsible 5. Match effort instead of constantly compensating for other people Trying Not to Care is sponsored by Nutrafol - Get $10 off your first month’s subscription and free shipping when you visit Nutrafol.com and enter promo code TNTC
