    Welcome to your Hump Day guilty pleasure — The Salty Goddess Podcast with Anne Margaret Perry, where confidence meets competence and performative humility gets called out for what it really is. This week’s episode dives into the uncomfortable truth about how people react to your success, achievements, credentials, and growth. From backhanded compliments like “must be nice” to the so-called humility police who think you shouldn’t state your accomplishments, we’re unpacking the psychology of virtue signaling, insecurity, and social gatekeeping in modern professional and personal spaces. Anne Margaret breaks down: Why virtue signaling is often disguised as etiquette The difference between bragging and establishing credibility How backhanded comments are emotional undermining (not praise) Why silence after your wins is still communication How insecurity shows up as moral superiority and faux humility The real reason people minimize your credentials, success, and ambition With salty humor, real-world examples, and unapologetic truth, this episode is a masterclass in intrinsic motivation, professional confidence, and refusing to shrink yourself to make others comfortable. If you’ve ever been told: “Must be nice.” “You got lucky.” “Let your work speak for itself.” “Someone else should say that about you.” This episode is your permission slip to stay accomplished, confident, and unbothered.

    When Empathy Excuses Accountability

    In this unapologetic episode of The Salty Goddess Podcast, Anne Margaret Perry dismantles one of the most dangerous lies people tell themselves: “I understand their trauma, so I should keep tolerating the damage.” No. Absolutely not. This episode is for anyone who: Explains bad behavior instead of stopping it Accommodates dysfunction instead of containing it Gives endless chances because they “know the backstory” Mistakes insight for accountability Confuses temporary improvement with real change Walks on eggshells while someone else refuses to do the work Anne Margaret breaks down the pattern she sees over and over again in patients, clients, students, relationships, families, friendships, and workplaces: trauma removing the lid on behavior — not creating it. You’ll hear hard truths about: 🔥 Why awareness isn’t treatment 🔥 Why empathy without boundaries becomes self-betrayal 🔥 How silent treatment, avoidance, and denial are emotional misconduct 🔥 Why compassion does NOT mean becoming collateral damage 🔥 How insight without sustained behavior change is manipulation, not growth 🔥 When it’s time to stop explaining and start exiting If you wouldn’t tolerate this behavior from an employee, a coworker, or a manager, then why the hell are you tolerating it in your personal life? Time is your most valuable currency. Stop spending it on people who refuse to invest theirs. This episode isn’t gentle. It’s honest. And if it pissed you off a little… good. That means it hit.
