Why High-Achieving Women Feel Disconnected. Part One. Part One - 132

Published on: 29th June, 2025

Welcome to The Star Monroe Show.

Today marks the beginning of The Wild Love Affair, a new 12-part series of intimate conversations on coming home to yourself, through embodiment, devotional living, and deeper intimacy.

This is a return to the woman you’ve always been beneath the roles, the resilience, and the relentless drive to hold it all together. This series coincides with the release of my new book, My Wild Love Affair.

And we begin where every honest return begins...

The truth about self-abandonment.

Not the dramatic kind that ends in collapse, but the quiet, high-functioning kind that builds silently inside marriages, businesses, routines, and lives that look beautiful on the outside.

Inside this episdoe we explore...

– What self-abandonment really looks like for high-achieving women

– Why it begins in childhood, especially for the oldest daughters

– The slow cost to your body, your intimacy, your joy

– How performing has kept you safe - but disconnected

– And what it means to stop abandoning yourself and come home

The Wild Love Affair is what happens when you stop living the life you were taught to want and start telling the truth about the one you actually crave.

If this conversation stirs something in you, stay with it. Don’t rush to fix it. Just don’t abandon it.

Begin with the book: My Wild Love Affair (available now on Amazon)

About the Podcast

The Star Monroe Show
Deep conversations on intimacy, connection, and authentic love.
This podcast is for high-achieving, hyper-independent women who know how to hold everything together and are ready to choose a new way to live. Hosted by Star Monroe, a licensed psychotherapist with over thirty years of lived and clinical experience, she dives deep into the often uncomfortable work of self-devotion: unlearning self-abandonment, reclaiming your relationship with your body, emotions, and your ability to deeply connect with others.

We explore the reclamation of the feminine, living slower, deeper, and more pleasurably while grounding your life in emotional intimacy and self-trust. This is where your Wild Love Affair begins.

Star Monroe

Having already lived and loved enough for 100 lifetimes, along with my licensing and certifications in psychotherapy, sex, love & relationships, inner child healing, eating psychology, somatic therapy, body psychotherapy, conscious relationships, dominatrix training, what I bring to every table is power, truth, rawness, and soul-medicine that touches my clients deeply.

I’ve been through drug addiction, bankruptcy, failed marriages, single motherhood, building successful businesses since I was 18, and more to arrive at the doorstep of women who are ready to unlock and unleash their greatest powers.

I stand before you a woman whose fire ignites those around her.

You’ve heard of the Phoenix. I am her. I know and understand the nuances of change. I am wise beyond my years and an alchemist of the highest order. Self-mastery is my medicine. I know and understand the workings of the body, energy, the heart, and the mind. So when it comes to my clients realizing their inner truths, developing unwavering confidence, and learning to leave everything that doesn’t serve them behind, I have a 100% success rate.

And they are left with uncompromisable lives that FINALLY LEAVE THEM BREATHLESS.
