In this episode of The Dr. Zoe Show, licensed psychotherapist and life coach Dr. Zoe Shaw welcomes author and self‑publishing consultant Debbie London to discuss the hidden "facades" women often present in romantic, familial, friendship, and business relationships. The show opens with Dr. Zoe sharing a personal "win" (using a sibling’s conflict‑resolution technique with her own children) and a "fail" (missing a parent‑teacher conference). Debbie then shares her own win—recognizing she was still drawn to an ex after a ten‑year gap—and her fail—realizing she wasn’t providing enough early‑stage accountability for her writing clients. They introduce Debbie’s book Your Facade Is Showing, explain the concept of soul ties, and explore several common facades: trying to fit a perceived ideal, playing the savior/codependent role, demanding perfection, pretending everything is okay, and staying silent about issues. Throughout, they emphasize self‑awareness, authenticity, and the importance of setting boundaries. The episode concludes with Dr. Zoe’s mental‑health tip on curating a positive social‑media feed and standard calls to action for coaching, newsletters, and future episodes.
