223: The Guilt Spiral That Keeps Women Stuck in Over-giving with Candice Coughenour
Episode Description
You look put-together on the outside. You show up for everyone, you get things done. And yet underneath all of that — you're exhausted and choosing yourself feels like something you have to earn.
If that landed, this episode is for you.
Candice Coughenour is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and owner of Congruent Soul Therapy who specializes in helping high-achieving women who look fine on the outside finally start considering themselves — some for the very first time.
This conversation goes deep on the guilt spiral that keeps so many women stuck in over-giving, and why boundaries, people-pleasing, and identity are more tangled up than most of us realize.
In this episode:
- Why high-achieving women are often the hardest on themselves
- What most people still get wrong about boundaries
- Why choosing yourself brings up so much guilt — and where it's really coming from
- One small way to start choosing yourself this week (and how it applies to your business)
