Kate Hastings Show

Episode Bio Most women do not recognize self-disrespect when it is happening because it does not feel like a violation. It feels like being flexible, keeping the peace, and being the bigger person. In this episode, Kate breaks down what self-respect actually is, why women specifically lose it, and the quiet patterns of self-abandonment that keep women disconnected from themselves and their own standards. If you have ever talked yourself out of your own instincts, over-explained a boundary you had every right to hold, or stayed in something longer than you should have because the narrative in your head was louder than your own knowing, this episode was built for you. Self-respect is not a feeling you arrive at after enough healing. It is a standard you build through the daily decision to stop making an exception of yourself.
