    74: Shame Isn't a Boundary: Stop Policing Normal Human Behavior
    2026/05/12
    In this episode, Minaa B. explores a pattern she's seeing: people using morally charged, shame-based language to control others' behavior instead of exercising their own agency through boundaries. She examines how terms like "invasive," "rude," and "offensive" are used to police normal communication behaviors rather than to develop assertiveness and boundaries. Minaa breaks down where your agency actually lies and offers eight strategies for exercising it rather than policing behavior. Resources Work with me: Book a 1:1 therapy consultation.

    73: You Don't Have Imposter Syndrome, You Have a Scarcity Blueprint
    2026/05/05
    In this episode, Minaa B. reframes imposter syndrome as a scarcity blueprint—a relational pattern learned in childhood, not a personal failing. She explores the roots of chronic self-doubt through the first dimension of The Siblinghood Theory: Competition and Scarcity. Minaa examines how growing up competing with siblings and peers for limited love, attention, and recognition creates a blueprint of "I'm not good enough" that follows you into adulthood. She breaks down what happens when you watch others receive what you can't access, when love feels conditional on performance, when nothing you do is ever good enough, and when wanting recognition is treated as selfish. She then offers eight strategies for revising your scarcity blueprint and internalizing your worth. Resources Work with me: Book a 1:1 therapy consultation.

    72: Sibling Codependency: When You Can't Function Apart
    2026/04/28
    In this episode, Minaa B. explores sibling codependency—when closeness crosses into enmeshment and siblings can't function independently. She defines what sibling codependency looks like, why it develops and gives special attention to twins who are often expected to be a single unit rather than two separate people. Minaa then breaks down the crucial distinction between codependency and healthy closeness, and offers strategies for separating while staying connected through healthy boundary differentiation, emphasizing that you can individuate and still maintain a meaningful sibling bond.
