Welcome back to The Rebel’s Way podcast—your no-BS guide to breaking the rules, trusting yourself, and building a life that actually feels like yours. Today we’re burning down two things that keep women stuck: the endless good-girl apology and the tired “put your oxygen mask on first” advice.

Inspired by a long summer, a pastry in the river, and a realization about how women are conditioned to only care for themselves in crisis—I’m talking about what it looks like to stop waiting for the emergency and start breathing now.

In this episode, we dive into:

The problem with the oxygen-mask cliché (and why it pisses me off)

The difference between proactive vs. reactive self-care

How to tell if something’s truly fueling you—or just numbing you

Why you don’t need permission to breathe—you just need to choose it

This episode is your reminder that you don’t need a crisis plan for self-care. You don’t have to wait until you’re gasping for air to finally put yourself first. You can just breathe—every damn day.

Challenge for You:

This week, notice the moments you’re tempted to apologize or wait until you “deserve” care. Instead, choose one thing that feels good—just because you love it. Do it without guilt, apology, or explanation.

Welcome back to The Rebel’s Way podcast—your no-BS guide to breaking the rules, trusting yourself, and building a life that actually feels like yours. I’m your host, Starlyn, and today we’re unpacking one of the sneakiest ways we sabotage our own peace: expecting people to magically know what we need.

Inspired by a solo mountain getaway (that wasn’t quite as solo as planned) and my ongoing battle with mom guilt, we’re talking boundaries, expectations, and why silent resentment isn’t the vibe.

In this episode, we dive into:

Why unspoken expectations will wreck your peace every damn time

The real reason people aren’t meeting your needs (hint: they don’t know them)

How mom guilt keeps us stuck in default mode

My not-so-glamorous lesson in screen time, FaceTime, and setting boundaries

The uncomfortable magic of actually sticking to your boundaries

This episode is your reminder that no one’s a mind reader—and if you want space, peace, or support, you’ve got to say it. The badass life you’re building? It starts with clear expectations and owning your own damn needs.

Challenge for You:

What do you need that you haven’t said out loud? Your mission this week: tell one person exactly what you need—without guilt, apology, or hoping they’ll just guess.

Welcome back to The Rebel’s Way podcast—your no-BS guide to breaking the rules, trusting yourself, and creating a life that actually feels like yours. I’m your host, Starlyn, and today’s episode is part pep talk, part construction confessional, and all about the real truth of slow progress.

Recorded mid-drive to the mountains (because inspired chaos is kinda my brand), this one’s for anyone staring down a long-ass goal wondering if it’s ever going to come together. Spoiler alert: It will. But not on your timeline—and that’s okay.

In this episode, we dive into:

🛣️ The myth of “should be further along by now”

💥 What HGTV won’t tell you about real transformation

⚡ How to keep going when the finish line disappears

💡 The invisible progress that’s just as important as the flashy wins

🎯 The radical pride of doing hard shit yourself—slowly

This episode is your reminder that you're not behind—you're building something that actually matters. And that kind of work? It takes time. It takes guts. And it makes you a total badass.

Challenge for You:

Make a list of all the hard shit you’ve done that no one claps for (especially YOU). The inner work. The learning curves. The almost-gave-up moments. Then look at it and say, “Damn, I did that.”
