Why Women Struggle to Love Themselves: Binah of Georgia Barnett

In this episode of Binah Says, I sit down with Georgia Barnett - Founder of the Self Love Club - for a deeply vulnerable conversation about the journey back to loving ourselves.

Why is it so hard for women to love themselves? And what happens when we finally stop fighting who we are and begin learning how to love the girl/woman we’ve been all along?

We cried. We laughed. We howled! We opened our hearts and went into the places so many women experience but don’t always feel safe enough to talk about.

We talk about what it means to stop being at war with your body and become your own healer, to transform the inner critic into your greatest cheerleader, and to understand that self-love is not a body size. It’s an energy.

Georgia shares her journey of reconnecting with the Wild Woman Archetype (must read - Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés), trusting intuition as one of our greatest superpowers, and finding healing through women’s circles, creativity, and community. Because sometimes the medicine we’re searching for is simply having people who remind us that we don’t have to do life alone.

We also explore the pressure women feel to settle down, become mothers, and follow a timeline that may not belong to their soul. Should every woman become a mother? What are the tradeoffs of motherhood? And what happens when we surrender our expectations and allow the universe to write a story greater than the one we planned?

From Kabbalah’s teaching of certainty beyond logic to the importance of finding your tribe, nourishing your soul, creating, and learning to love yourself through every season of becoming, this conversation is an invitation to trust your intuition, surrender the timeline, and come home to yourself.

We close the episode with a beautiful prayer from Georgia that I hope stays with you long after the conversation ends.

Thank you, Georgia, for sharing your unique wisdom with us on this episode!
