    111: How to Stop Fawning & Reclaim Your Boundaries as a Woman | Perri Chase

    Check out the replay of my masterclass Reclaimed Relationship here. You’re not being “nice”—you’re lying for safety. In this episode, Kelly sits down with feminine embodiment teacher and unapologetic truth-teller Perri Chase to expose the hidden cost of the fawning response—why it works, what it protects, and how it hijacks your nervous system, your relationships, and your sense of self. Perri, creator of the transformational practice Sex Bomb and a leader in modern feminine awakening, brings a raw and riveting perspective to the conversation. Her work unpacks the addictive loop of shame, the villainization of women’s needs, and the subtle ways we betray ourselves daily under the guise of “being good.” With decades of lived experience, provocative teachings, and a sharp lens on spiritual bypassing and codependent dynamics, Perri doesn’t just talk embodiment—she lives it. This is not your average empowerment episode. It’s a permission slip to stop performing, start feeling, and finally claim what you actually want. You’ll Learn: How the fawning response rewires your nervous system to lie for safetyWhy shame can become a seductive, self-reinforcing addictionHow to identify and interrupt codependent communication loopsWhat sexual energy reveals about your capacity to hold intensityWhy regulating your nervous system doesn’t always require slowing downHow unmet needs mutate into people-pleasing and self-abandonmentWhat “negative empathy” teaches about dissolving the victim-perpetrator splitHow to use sensation-based awareness to dissolve reactive patternsWhy “being good” often masks an avoidance of boundaries and truthHow to shift from external validation to internal energetic sovereignty Timestamps: [00:00] Introduction [01:05] What the fawning response is and why it works [04:52] The link between fawning and lying for safety [10:50] The cost of being “nice” instead of honest [13:40] How feminine awakening shifts priorities from safety to self [16:42] The fear of chaos and suppression of feminine life force [20:15] The difference between survival-driven tribes and conscious communities [24:40] What a healthy masculine container feels like in partnership [27:00] Shame as a wet blanket and addictive emotional loop [33:50] Why “there are no victims” isn’t always useful [36:25] Family constellation theory and the victim-perpetrator mirror [43:00] Transitioning from mental awakening to body-based awakening [45:35] How sexual energy helps regulate the nervous system from within [48:50] The shift from managing thoughts to creating from stillness [54:10] The danger of staying in relationships out of fear of loss [56:50] Maturing into a woman who no longer needs to fight to be herself [59:50] Breaking generational silence around female embodiment 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

    110: Why Many Women Play the Wrong Role in the Relationship (Pat Allen Book Review)

    Join Kelly's Reclaimed program and membership here In this provocative solo episode, Kelly unpacks the life-altering insights from Pat Allen’s classic book Getting to “I Do”. Drawing from her own experience and years of clinical observation, Kelly explores the often uncomfortable—but liberating—truths about masculine/feminine dynamics, romantic polarity, and the myth of the “career woman.” She breaks down why women’s power lies not in doing more or achieving more, but in mastering the art of the “no,” cherishing themselves first, and choosing the dynamics that truly serve their deepest desires. Whether you’re single, dating, or married, this is a blueprint for reclaiming your feminine essence and reshaping your relationship reality—without another strategy, seduction tactic, or self-help checklist. You’ll Learn: How polarity clarifies power dynamics in romantic relationshipsWhy seeking both respect and cherishing can sabotage intimacyHow to choose between being a career woman or a woman with a careerWhat the “five-second gaze” reveals about feminine initiation and nervous system capacityHow withholding sex until commitment rewires relational self-worthWhy honoring your “no” is the ultimate feminine flexWhat happens when women unconsciously reject the men they claim to loveHow emotional and intellectual pedestals define partner rolesWhy many high-achieving women feel resentful, bitter, or overwhelmed in relationshipsWhat asking for more love or attention signals about relational misalignment Timestamps: [00:00] Introduction [01:00] Why modern relationships are struggling [01:58] Difference between being cherished and respected [03:05] Why demanding both respect and cherishing doesn’t work [04:00] Choosing your relational orientation [05:02] The meaning of a woman with a career vs a career woman [06:00] The gaslighting of career fulfillment [07:02] Honoring the power of your no [08:00] Why sexual access should come after commitment [09:05] Defining commitment [11:02] Living from your pleasure and feminine gifts [12:00] How to stop chasing femininity and power [13:02] Why you should not ask a man for more love or attention [14:00] Traits of a cherished woman [15:03] Traits of a respected partner [16:00] Why respected partners focus on giving [17:02] Red flags in dating and complementarity [18:00] Manipulation and mother wounds in relationships [19:00] How projection blocks intimacy [20:00] Staying until you reach apathy and empathy [21:02] Signs a man is truly committed [22:00] Why early stages of dating matter [23:00] Applying these ideas to marriage Resources Mentioned: Inspiration derived from this book by Amy Loftus Getting to 'I Do' by Pat Allen and Sandra Harmon | Book or Audiobook Dr. Christiane Northrup | Website Vital Mind Reset by Dr. Kelly Brogan | Website Laura Doyle | Website Find more from Kelly: Instagram: @kellybroganmd Website: kellybroganmd.com Join Kelly's monthly membership, Vital Life Project here.
