The Dr. Valerie Podcast

Candid conversations with women entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders about living, loving, and creating in the patriarchal culture—where it's never been safe for a woman to be visible or powerful. If you feel like you're running into an invisible inner wall when you reach for more happiness and fulfillment; if you've tried just about every strategy, self-help, therapy, and still something is missing—you want to be in on these conversations. Your host, Dr. Valerie Rein, has discovered the origin of the invisible inner wall—and it is not personal. It is rooted in the collective feminine experience of millennia of oppression imprinted in women's DNA, which she termed Patriarchy Stress Disorder® (PSD). We hope this discovery will be a game-changer for you and the tools and strategies we share on this show will help you unlock your ultimate success and happiness and fully embody your true beauty and your true power.

In today’s episode, Dr. Valerie has a guest! Caroline Garnet McGraw is the author of the forthcoming book You Don’t Owe Anyone (Broadleaf Books, April 20, 2021). They speak about the struggle to rest as a high-achieving woman. How living under the weight of expectations caused Caroline to be disconnected from her body for most of her life. But also, how she freed herself and wrote a book about it.

 

Caroline is also a coach and the creator of A Wish Come Clear, a popular blog devoted to trading perfectionism for possibility. Caroline is a two-time TEDx speaker, and her essays have been featured on The Huffington Post, Momastery, and Women For One.

 

If you resonated with Caroline’s story, and you desire to experience what healing PSD can make possible in every area of your life, we’re currently enrolling our Spring cohorts in our programs.
