Standing Naked is where high-capacity women come to exhale.This is a space for the woman who’s spent a lifetime holding it all together, strong, capable, composed — and is quietly craving something real.Hosted by Daveda, Standing Naked is a podcast about emotional awareness, identity, and the courage it takes to come home to yourself.It’s for women who are ready to stop performing and start telling the truth, the kind of truth that leads to genuine self-trust, embodied freedom, and a deeper connection to who they’ve always been beneath the armor.Through raw solo episodes and intimate guest conversations, Daveda explores the intersections of the unconscious, mindset, emotion, and embodiment, decoding the ways our nervous systems, conditioning, and beliefs shape how we show up in the world.Here, nothing is off-limits: the ache of comparison, the beauty of boundaries, the holy mess of becoming, and what it really takes to live open in a world that rewards performance more than presence.Because this isn’t about being perfect —It’s about being present, powerful, and free.🎧 New episodes weekly.

    Episode 15: Are You Running Your Life… or Is Your Life Running You?

    When you step into something new, you’re not always starting from scratch — sometimes you’re stepping into patterns that were built by someone else. In this episode, Daveda shares how quickly we can absorb those patterns without realizing it, and what it looks like to get back in the driver’s seat so your life, and your work, doesn’t start running you.doesn’t start running you.

    Episode 14: Why You Want To Fix How They See You (And Why You Don’t Have To)

    There’s a moment where someone sees you differently than you see yourself… and everything in you wants to fix it. In this episode, Daveda talks about the pull to fix how you’re perceived — especially when you know you’ve acted in integrity — and what it looks like to stay rooted in your truth without trying to manage someone else’s version of you.

    Episode 13: Are You In Danger… Or Just Uncomfortable?

    We’ve started using the word “safe” for almost everything. But what if the moment you’re calling unsafe… isn’t actually about danger at all? In this episode, Daveda unpacks the difference between real danger and emotional discomfort — and why confusing the two can train your nervous system to treat vulnerability, feedback, and growth like threats. Sometimes it isn’t that you’re unsafe. Sometimes it’s that you’re uncomfortable. Sometimes it’s discernment. And learning to tell the difference can change how you show up in relationships, in rooms where you’re stretching, and in moments where honesty feels risky.

    Episode 12: Why You Feel The Need To Over-Explain — And What Changes When You Don’t

    Why does it feel so uncomfortable to just say something… and leave it there? If you find yourself adding the extra paragraph, clarifying your tone, or trying to make sure everyone “gets it,” this episode is for you. Daveda unpacks what’s really underneath the urge to over-explain — the nervous system spike, the fear of being misunderstood, and the quiet need to manage how you’re perceived. What begins to change when you stop trying to control the narrative and start trusting yourself instead is subtle, but powerful.

    Episode 11: Humility Isn't About Being Small — It’s About Shining As Bright As You Can

    Somewhere along the way, a lot of us started confusing humility with hiding. In this episode, Daveda unpacks what real humility looks like — not shrinking so others feel comfortable, but being grounded enough in who you are to shine without apology. She shares how a recent conversation reminded her that humility and radiance can coexist — that you can hold deep respect for others and still honor your own brilliance. If you’ve ever dimmed your light to seem humble or questioned whether confidence makes you “too much,” this one’s for you. It’s a reminder that true humility isn’t about disappearing — it’s about showing up fully, knowing your light doesn’t take away from anyone else’s.

    Episode 10: The Boring Middle: What’s Really Happening When Nothing Feels Like It’s Happening

    If you’ve been feeling like life’s gone a little quiet — not stuck, but strangely still — this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale. Daveda unpacks what’s really happening in “the boring middle,” that space after massive growth or shedding when it seems like nothing’s moving… but everything actually is. She explains how this recalibration phase is where your nervous system expands, your identity catches up to your growth, and the new you begins to settle in. You’ll hear why stillness isn’t complacency, why calm can feel unfamiliar, and how to trust the quiet as proof that your transformation is already taking root. This is your permission to stop forcing movement and start noticing how much has already changed — even in the space that feels like nothing’s happening.

    Episode 9: No One Can Make You Feel Anything — Except When They Do

    In this episode, Daveda gets real about one of the most over-simplified sayings in the personal growth world — “no one can make you feel anything.” She unpacks why that idea, while partly true, is also incomplete. Yes, we’re responsible for what gets triggered inside of us — and we’re still human. People can say or do things that hurt, and denying that only disconnects us from our truth. Daveda shares a personal story of being triggered, what it revealed about old roles she used to carry, and how she now separates what’s hers to hold from what belongs to others. It’s a conversation about self-trust, emotional awareness, and holding people accountable without abandoning yourself in the process.
