Pre-order Decentering Men: The Definitive Guide to Choosing Yourself by Sherese Charlie Taylor, out March 16, 2027 from Abrams Press: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/decentering-men_9781419792786/

If you started decentering men because someone promised you a better man on the other side, this episode asks you to take an honest look at that motivation. Charlie explains why decentering men in hopes of attracting a better partner still keeps him at the center, and what it takes to own your thoughts, your dreams, and your decisions instead.

Then, in Charlie’s Advice, a 20-year-old listener asks how to build confidence when everything about her future feels uncertain, and Charlie answers with steps she can start using right away.
