[ENCORE] Giving Her a Voice with Monica Packer

<p>Ep 82: This one&#39;s from the archives, back for encore because it still hits. Monica Packer of the <em>About Progress</em> podcast joins me to talk about the pull toward perfection so many women inherit — and then we go looking for where that pattern actually started in her family.</p><p><br></p><p>We dig into her second great-grandmother, Lucy Rose Ehmann, and a story that&#39;s been sitting with Monica&#39;s family for generations — one involving a birth out of wedlock, a name that doesn&#39;t match the record, and a marriage that may have been anything but a choice. It&#39;s a hard one, and Monica meets it with a lot of honesty.</p><p><br></p><p>Monica also talks about her own path through perfectionism, why &quot;progress over perfection&quot; became her life&#39;s work, and what it means to honor the women who came before you by doing the things they never got to.</p><p><br></p><p>Find Monica and <em>About Progress</em> at <a href="https://www.aboutprogress.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.aboutprogress.com/</a> and on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/aboutprogress"><u>https://www.instagram.com/aboutprogress</u></a> </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Grab my free guided meditation here: The Pattern That Isn&#39;t Yours: </strong><a href="https://knowyourancestors.co/pattern" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>⁠https://knowyourancestors.co/pattern⁠</strong></a><strong></strong></p><p><br></p><p>If this one landed for you, I&#39;d love a rating and review — it&#39;s still one of the best ways to help people find the show.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Follow me on:</strong></p><p>Instagram: ⁠<a href="https://www.instagram.com/meganhillyer" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/meganhillyer</a> ⁠</p><p>TikTok: ⁠<a href="https://tiktok.com/@meganhillyer " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://tiktok.com/@meganhillyer⁠ </a></p><p>Facebook: ⁠<a href="https://www.facebook.com/knowyourancestorsco" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.facebook.com/knowyourancestorsco</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@knowyourancestors" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.youtube.com/@knowyourancestors</a></p><p><br></p>
