66: GUEST | Stop Waiting to Be Chosen with Fanny Tristan29 Sept 20251 h 21 min

Being single isn’t a waiting room. It’s the classroom. The mirror. The runway. The f*cking launchpad.

In this richly layered episode, I'm joined by Fanny Tristan, trauma-informed LCSW turned coach and founder of Her Soul Supply, to unpack the emotional gymnastics so many women perform in the pursuit of being chosen by a partner, by their family, by society.

We talk love, loneliness, lifestyle design, and what happens when women stop outsourcing worth and start reclaiming their voice. From navigating breakups and identity shifts to dismantling systems that tell women they’re “too much” or “too late,” this conversation is a full-body permission slip to rewrite your story on your terms.

If you’ve ever felt behind, unworthy, or like you needed to shrink to fit the timeline... this episode is for you.
