Welcome to Reclaim Your Wilde, This is all things women. We are peeling back the conditioning we were handed and the freedom of reclaiming ourselves. Nothing’s off the table. We were all handed a rulebook. Be nice. Don’t be too much. Somewhere along the way it stopped feeling like rules and started feeling like who we are. This is where we break free of it, out loud and together. All things women are on the table here. Sex, mothers, money, menopause, friendship, grief, creativity, marriage, faith. The body we were told to shrink and the voice we were told to lower. Myth too, and the women we were taught to fear. If we were told not to talk about it, we’re talking about it. Hosted by Perry Janssen, psychotherapist, author, emotional intelligence and somatic expert, this podcast is your weekly breath of renewal — where psychology meets spirituality, and healing meets real life. Here, we explore what women are really facing today: stress, burnout, people-pleasing, perfectionism, emotional exhaustion, relationship challenges, the menopausal festival, and the longing to live with more ease, vitality, and self-connection. Each soulful episode offers inspiration, emotional insight, and critical tools for revolutionary self-care - the kind to restore your energy, lighten the challenges, and remember that your Self is sacred.

    The Invisible Load Women Don’t Realize They’re Carrying

    You are not just carrying your life.You are carrying everything that keeps everyone else’s life running. In this episode, Perry names something many women feel but rarely articulate — the invisible load. This is not just about tasks or responsibilities. It is the constant mental tracking, emotional attunement, and anticipatory thinking that happens in the background of daily life. If you’ve ever felt tired without knowing why…If you’ve ever sat down to rest but couldn’t fully relax…If you’ve ever felt like your mind never truly turns off… This conversation is for you.

    Why Strong Women Struggle to Ask for What They Need

    In this episode, Perry explores why so many women struggle to say no, ask for what they need, or speak up without guilt. She weaves together psychology, history, culture, and nervous system science to help you understand that your difficulty with boundaries is not a personal failure — it’s an adaptation. If you’ve ever rehearsed what you wanted to say and then softened it…If you’ve ever said “I’m fine” when you weren’t…If you’ve agreed to something that drained you and later felt resentful… This conversation is for you.

    The Rollercoaster of Grief

    Grief is not the neat stages we were taught to expect. It's waves, surprises, moments you think you're okay and then suddenly you're not. In this deeply personal episode, Perry shares her family's recent loss and decades of experience working with grief. She explores what grief actually feels like, why it doesn't move in straight lines, and how we learn to live with it without rushing ourselves out of it. If you've ever felt confused by your grief or wondered why it doesn't follow a predictable path, this conversation is for you.

    What 30 Years of Women's Pain Has Taught Me

    For more than 30 years, women have sat across from Perry and shared their stories—their exhaustion, heartbreak, shame, anger, trauma, and the fear of being too much or never being enough. This episode distills the profound lessons learned from three decades of listening to women's pain. Perry shares that women's pain is not personal failure or weakness. It's often a response to living in a world that's asked women to bend, shrink, endure, and disappear to belong. This is not theory. It's truth learned from real lives, real bodies, real spirits, and real hearts.

    The Beauty and Intelligence of Anger

    Anger has been treated as something dangerous—something to avoid, fix, or suppress, especially for women. We were taught to be kind, accommodating, and to keep the peace, even when something inside said "this is not okay." But anger is not the enemy. It's one of the most intelligent emotions we have—communication, information, a signal that something matters, hurts, or needs attention. In this episode, Perry explores why women were taught not to feel anger, what happens when it goes underground, and how listening to anger can become one of the most powerful acts of self-care and self-respect.

    Healing Begins With Safety, Not Shame

    So many women are trying to heal by being hard on themselves—judging their patterns, criticizing the parts of them that learned how to survive. But here's the truth: You don't heal by rejecting those parts or versions of you. You heal by understanding her, by listening, by honoring, and by offering her the safety and compassion she probably didn't have. If you've ever felt ashamed of your coping mechanisms, confused by your reactions, or frustrated that you're still stuck in patterns you thought should be past, this episode is for you. Perry explores why survival patterns aren't character flaws, why compassion isn't optional, and how to finally step out of self-attack and into healing.
