Today I'm joined by Dr. Jessica Zucker — clinical psychologist, author of "Normalize It" and "I Had a Miscarriage", and a powerful voice in the movement to help women speak openly about what's often left unsaid. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, New York Magazine, Vogue, and Harvard Business Review, among others. She's been featured on NPR, CNN, The Today Show, and Good Morning America and earned advanced degrees from New York University and Harvard University. In today's episode, we talk about... Why it's essential for women to start speaking their truths — even when it feels uncomfortable How to share hard things without being labeled as negative or too much The power of normalizing struggle instead of staying silent about it How to truly support someone when they're opening up about something difficult Why we need to talk more openly about the identity shift and emotional impact of becoming a mother What it takes for women to drop their armor and step into real vulnerability How to stop taking it personally when others can't hold space for your pain The unspoken pressure on women to show up perfectly ...and so much more. If this conversation resonates with you, please share it with a friend, post it on Instagram, or leave a quick review. You doing this helps more women find the show, and it means so much to me.
