The episode centers around the character Martha, who becomes obsessively attached to a man named Richard, seeking his validation in all the wrong ways.

Throughout the episode, Leslie provides actionable tips to help listeners build their self-worth from within. She emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries, loving oneself fiercely, and finding joy that doesn't depend on anyone else's approval. Leslie also introduces the Enneagram, a powerful tool for self-growth and self-knowledge, and encourages listeners to explore it as a way to understand themselves better.

One of the most impactful moments in the episode is when Leslie shares her mantra: "You add value to every situation the moment you show up." This powerful affirmation serves as a reminder that we are all worthy because we exist, and we bring value to every space we enter.

Leslie's heartfelt and empowering message is a call to action for all women to reclaim their power, set healthy boundaries, and find joy within themselves.
