The Wellness Revolution Podcast with Amber Shaw

376. Why “Having It All” Is a Trap and What Women Really Need Instead with Alanna Kaivalya

What if success isn’t what makes you powerful but the freedom to finally feel satisfied?

 

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I’m joined by Alanna Kaivalya, Ph.D., spiritual teacher and author of The Way of the Satisfied Woman: Reclaiming Feminine Power. 

 

Alanna shares her perspective on why today’s women are burned out, emotionally depleted, and carrying an invisible weight of expectations. We talk about the lies women are sold in marriage, motherhood, and the workplace and how to begin untangling from them so you can live on your terms. This episode is a must-listen for any woman ready to soften, heal, and reclaim her power.
