Why So Many Women Don’t Feel Great (And What to Do About It)

By Kim Murphy | Empowerment Coach for Women 50+

What if I told you that not feeling great isn’t your fault?

That the exhaustion, the self-doubt, the never-ending pressure to change your body or prove your worth — it’s not something you created. It’s something you’ve inherited.

And if you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought:

• “I should be doing more.”

• “If I could just lose weight, I’d finally feel better.”

• “I don’t even know who I am anymore…”

You're not alone.

You're also not broken. You’ve simply been conditioned to believe that you’re not enough.

Let’s talk about why — and what you can do to finally start feeling good (maybe even great) again.

The Roots of “Never Enough”

From the time we were young girls, the messages were clear:

• Be nice, be quiet, be thin.

• Put others first.

• Don’t make a fuss.

• Don’t take up too much space — emotionally or physically.

We internalized those messages. We became caretakers, perfectionists, people-pleasers. And in the process, we lost ourselves.

Society told us that our worth was measured by what we looked like, how much we weighed, and how well we served others.

So we dieted. We hustled. We shrank.
And still, somehow, we never felt enough.

The Weight Loss Industry Profits from Your Insecurity

Let’s be honest — the $70 billion diet industry needs you to feel bad about yourself.

Because when you feel unworthy, you buy. You buy the shakes, the pills, the plans, the promises.
And when they fail (because they’re designed to), you blame yourself.

This constant cycle of hope, restriction and disappointment doesn't just hurt your body — it chips away at your self-worth.

You are taught to distrust your own hunger.
You are told your body is the problem.
You are sold a fantasy that never delivers.

And after years (or decades) of this, you end up tired, discouraged and disconnected — not just from food, but from your whole self.

Micro-Aggressions and the Subtle Ways We’re Shamed

If you've ever been called “too sensitive,”
If you've been dismissed, ignored or interrupted,
If you’ve been judged for your body, your emotions, or your age…

Then you’ve experienced micro-aggressions — subtle (but powerful) jabs that communicate:

“You don’t belong.”
“You’re too much.”
“You’re not enough.”

Over time, these moments build up like invisible bruises.
They tell your nervous system it’s not safe to be fully you.
So you quiet yourself. You dim your light. You play small.

And the saddest part?
You start believing you deserve to.

But Here’s the Truth…

You were never the problem.
You are not lazy, weak or broken.
You are not too old, too heavy or too emotional.

You are a woman who has carried more than her share — and now, it’s time to put some of it down.

You deserve to feel strong in your body.
You deserve to feel at peace with yourself.
You deserve to feel great — not someday, but now.
