Why So Many Women Feel They're Never Enough — Elise Loehnen on Breaking Cultural Conditioning
Why do so many women feel an unspoken pressure to “be good”—to perform endless selflessness at the cost of their own identity?
In this conversation, I sit down with Elise Loehnen, author of On Our Best Behavior, to unpack the centuries-old scripts that bind women to ideals of goodness rooted in the Seven Deadly Sins. We’ll explore the neuroscience behind identity formation, why reputation feels like survival, and how to break free without burning bridges.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
✅ The hidden cost of cultural conditioning on women’s mental health
✅ Why “being good” often comes at the expense of authenticity
✅ The neuroscience of identity and how to rewrite old scripts
✅ Practical steps for reframing self-worth and reclaiming agency
