Welcome to the Woman Uncaged Podcast Season 3, Episode 15!

 
We’ve all reached for something shiny—on a shelf, in a cart, online—hoping it might soothe a deeper ache. In this episode of Woman Uncaged, we explore the emotional undercurrents of consumer culture: the difference between needs and wants, the myth of retail therapy, and why we keep trying to fill inner emptiness with outer stuff. We talk about the culture of discard, the fear of feeling, and how longing—when misunderstood—can lead us to cluttered homes and hungry hearts. Tune in for a conversation that invites reflection, discernment, and a more satisfying way to meet your true needs.
