🌟 Episode Summary
In this bold and deeply honest conversation, Keri welcomes coach and writer Galina Singer to explore what it really means to live beyond the status quo. Together, they examine the quiet (and not-so-quiet) ways women disrupt inherited roles—especially around marriage, motherhood, aging, identity, and the body.
From redefining partnership and parenting to navigating menopause and political despair, Galina speaks to the power of self-responsibility, embodied sovereignty, and the courage it takes to become “nobody” in order to become fully yourself.
This is a must-listen for anyone questioning long-held roles, longing for wholeness, or feeling the call to live with deeper truth and integrity.
