Why People Don’t Want Advice. Teodora Mețiu | The Feminine #1

Описание: If you’ve ever felt like you aren’t being heard—even though you talk a lot—this episode will hit you exactly where it hurts.

In today’s episode of #TheFeminine, I am joined by Teodora Mețiu, a refined and powerful communicator who shows us how to use words without betraying our inner truth. We talk about communicating in truth, about the voice as a "snapshot of the soul," and the real reason why we often end up arguing over appearances rather than what’s truly hurting us.

Teodora explains something clearly that has stuck with me: words are the last problem. The real issue is that we don’t know how to read our emotions, define them clearly, and translate them correctly. This is where conflicts, impulsive reactions, mounting tensions, and the feeling of "you don't see me," "I'm not important," or "you're pulling away" begin.

In our conversation, we also discuss a simple but powerful exercise: asking yourself "why?" repeatedly until you reach the actual pain behind the reaction. Because behind anger, there might be fear, a need for safety, a desire for closeness, or an old wound you’ve never named.

We also touch on anxiety and the fear of the unknown—how things change when you stop trying to chase fear away and instead acknowledge it, letting it exist without letting it lead you. And yes, we talk about breathing as the first "word" that can stop a conflict before it even starts. Instead of saying something that will hurt, you take a breath and regain control.

We discuss femininity, the balance between career and family, roles within a couple, and that healthy "fluidity." Sometimes the leader is whoever is best suited for the moment, without power struggles or rigidity. Most importantly, we talk about how to keep the spark alive in a relationship—how not to become "background noise," how not to live on repeat, and how to remember that the state we speak from is more important than the perfect lines.

Finally, we are left with one of the most powerful ideas of the episode: love is not just romance, and "allowing myself to be loved" is not the same as "loving." Love is presence, choice, care, effort, and a way of seeing the other person even when you are tired, agitated, or drained of energy.

If you’ve ever felt lost in relationships, roles, routines, or your own emotions, this episode could be a great beginning.
