What happens when women stop trying to become someone else and start telling the truth about who they already are? In this episode, Lisa and Kari sit down with Megan Dirks, founder of The Girl on the Left, two-time international bestselling author, and brand strategist, for a powerful conversation about visibility, self-worth, and the pressure women feel to package their lives into neat transformation stories. Together, they explore the hidden costs of glow-up culture, why fear of being seen is often rooted in very real experiences, the difference between vulnerability and performing healing, and what becomes possible when women stop waiting until they're "finished" to own their stories. Lisa also shares what it meant to contribute a chapter to The Girl on the Left Volume 2 anthology and why this project resonates so deeply with her.
