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...

9 – Why Am I So Tired All the Time?

Dasha Savage · Psychology for Women

We talk a lot about “being in your resource”, but what does that actually mean? And why is it that sometimes, even after sleep, rest, or a weekend away, you still feel… empty? In this episode, I explore the deeper meaning of internal resource: not just self-care routines, but your actual capacity to show up in life with presence, joy, and energy. We’ll talk about: - why your ambitions and your energy levels might be at war with each other - how to recognize the subtle signs that your inner tank is running low - why what we call “rest” often isn’t rest at all - and how to begin...

8 – I'm 40. Is my life over?

Dasha Savage · Psychology for Women

In this episode, we’re talking about something most of us quietly wrestle with: life transitions. Why do our 30s, 40s, 50s feel like turning points no one prepared us for? We’ll talk about: What age-related crises really are (spoiler: they’re not a tragedy) Why your 30s are full of questions, and your 40s might be the most powerful decade yet The crisis of results at 50 (and how to reinvent yourself) Why ignoring change leads to burnout, anxiety, and feeling stuck What to do when you feel like you’re too late This is a gentle but honest invitation to stop...

7 – Why All Your Relationships Fail?

Dasha Savage · Psychology for Women

Some women carry a quiet, lifelong tension in relationships, not because they don’t want closeness, but because somewhere deep inside they learned that love isn’t safe. In this episode, I talk about the Enchanted Princess, a pattern that often forms in childhood when a girl experiences emotional rejection, disconnection, or a lack of consistent support, especially from her father. As adults, women with this script often find themselves entering relationships where they feel invisible, emotionally muted, or constantly on edge. They may expect abandonment even when nothing suggests it, or...

More Episodes

This is for you if you’ve ever found yourself overgiving in relationships, afraid to set boundaries, or quietly hoping someone will finally see your worth.

We talk about:

Why the “good girl” role forms in childhood
How emotional disconnection from the father shapes this dynamic
What it looks like in adult relationships (spoiler: it often involves emotional limbo and self-blame)
The key steps to healing: building your own inner compass, saying no, and choosing what’s good for you

You’ll learn how to move from Cinderella to sovereign woman — someone who no longer waits to be chosen, but chooses herself.

This episode is gentle, personal, and deeply validating. Come as you are — especially if you’re tired of earning love.

Listen now and share it with a friend who always tries to be “the good one.”
