Welcome back to That’s What She Said! In this episode, I dive into what I’m calling the Lilith Era—a time when women are no longer shrinking into “little lady” stereotypes, but reclaiming our power as creators, leaders, and warriors.

We’ll explore:
✨ Who Lilith really was—and why her story was rewritten to demonize feminine power.
✨ The biology of women’s strength, endurance, and emotional intelligence under pressure.
✨ Historical and modern societies that flourished under female leadership.
✨ The myth of “fragile, emotional women” vs. the reality of emotional intelligence in leadership.
✨ Real examples of women warriors—from Vikings to the Dahomey Amazons to resistance fighters.
✨ How reclaiming feminine energy could rebalance politics, culture, and community today.

I’ll also share personal reflections on strength, community, and what it means to truly step into your Lilith energy.
