## Resource

If you've been doing the work of decentering men but feel like something isn't clicking, this is the episode you need. Because the first step to decentering men is decentering romance — and most of us have never even questioned the story we were sold about what our lives are supposed to look like.In this episode we're getting into where the conditioning actually started, how fairy tales, rom-coms, and even our mothers shaped us into women who were taught to wait to be found instead of building a life. We're talking about the male gaze we internalized without knowing it, what we've been outsourcing to the idea of a relationship, and what it actually looks like to stop waiting and start living.This is not about giving up on love. This is about reclaiming your life.Single (Not Spiraling) is the podcast for women who are decentering men — one honest conversation at a time.
