Women usually come to me about something specific: him, the divorce, the relationship they can’t seem to leave, the co-parent who still knows exactly how to get to them, the boss who gets under their skin, the work they love that keeps taking more than it gives. Any of these is a good place to start.

Once we’re working together, something bigger tends to surface: what you were taught about being a good woman and how much of it you never chose, the unequal load you carried, who got to hold the power, and the rules you learned along the way: give more, ask less, keep the peace, and call it love or loyalty. Once you see it, you can see whose rules you’ve been following.

The breakup, the boundaries you can't keep, or the burnout brings you in. What you find changes everything after it.
