Woman Searching for Meaning
Ep. 13: Women walking brave
Walking down the street shouldn’t feel like a battle — but it often does.
In this episode, I talk about learning to stand tall, to build that quiet confidence that keeps you unbothered when men with bad intentions won’t leave you alone.
But what if that composure often turns into distance? If the armor that protects also isolates through the mask of indifference?
...until the street becomes a place where no one meets the other’s eyes. A reflection on confidence, vulnerability, and what is lost in the silent negotiations of safety.
