That’s Not Very Ladylike is the podcast for every woman who was told to be polite, stay calm, or stop being so dramatic, meanwhile her hormones, boundaries, and sanity were quietly falling apart. Hosted by Tracey Willingham, licensed social worker and the voice behind That Hormone Girl™, each episode starts with one rule: Ladies don’t…and then they do it anyway. Together, we unpack the unspoken expectations, the emotional labor, the generational BS, and the hormone chaos modern women are carrying and we get honest about what it actually takes to feel like yourself again. If you’re ready to question the rules, trust your body, and stop shrinking to make everyone else comfortable, you’re in the right place. © 2025 Tracey Willingham, That’s Not Very Ladylike Podcast.

Women are disconnected because they were never taught they’re allowed to want it. So we fake it. In relationships. In work. In lives that look “fine” but feel empty.

In this episode, we talk about why pleasure gets labeled selfish, the emotional and hormonal cost of living without it, and what shifts when a woman stops performing satisfaction and starts asking for more. If life is functioning but joy feels missing, then this one’s for you.
