Dasha Savage · Psychology for Women

Today’s episode is based again on a letter from our listener. She writes about feeling completely exhausted, on edge, and unable to control her emotions anymore. About yelling at her kids, losing her temper, then drowning in guilt and trying to “pull herself together”... only to end up in the same cycle again. In this episode, we’ll talk about what’s really going on, where this anger is coming from, and what can help her start to find a way out of this state. *** Follow for more episodes on relationship dynamics, healing the father wound, and learning to live from self-worth, not...

11 – Daddy issues?

Dasha Savage · Psychology for Women

In this episode, we explore the deep and often unnoticed impact the father figure has on our inner development and the choices we make later in life. Even when a father was physically present but emotionally distant or cold, the imprint of that relationship can remain hidden until adulthood. We look at how early experiences with a father shape our self-esteem, sense of safety, and ability to form close relationships. Why do so many women choose partners whose behavior unconsciously mirrors familiar traits of their fathers, even when those choices bring pain? Why do men who grew up with absent...

10 – Before You Burn Out Completely

Dasha Savage · Psychology for Women

What does it actually mean to feel resourced, and how do we find our way back when we’ve drifted far from that place? In today’s gentle and personal episode, I’m sharing one of my favorite concepts from Russian: “being in your resource.” It’s that grounded, steady inner state that helps you meet life’s chaos without being consumed by it. We’ll explore the two kinds of resource: Global resource: the big-picture safety nets that hold you Local resource: the small, daily rituals that either drain or restore you I’ll also walk you through a simple mindfulness...

Why do some women find themselves stuck in the same relationship patterns—over and over again? In this episode, we talk about the hidden “scripts” many of us carry into adulthood—scripts that were often written in childhood, shaped by our early bonds with our parents and the way we witnessed love, conflict, and connection unfold around us.

We’ll explore both constructive and destructive relationship scenarios—what they look like, how they feel, and what kind of beliefs tend to drive them.

You’ll learn what happens when a woman enters a relationship with clarity, self-worth, and emotional maturity… versus when she’s unconsciously repeating old patterns that keep her disconnected, unfulfilled, or searching for someone to “complete” her.

The first scenario we unpack is the Sleeping Beauty—a dynamic often rooted in a deep emotional fusion with the father figure, where a woman may struggle to see men clearly and relate to them as real, flawed, equal human beings.

If you’ve ever felt like your love life is stuck on repeat—or if you’re simply curious about the emotional blueprints women carry into relationships—this episode is for you.
