Women’s Sovereignty, Archetypes & Self-Worth | Stacey Simmons | The Elisha Show

What if your worth was never something you had to earn, prove, or get from someone else?

On this episode of The Elisha Show, Amb. Elisha speaks with Stacey Simmons, a Los Angeles-based psychotherapist, author, and certified therapist, about personal sovereignty, women’s empowerment, and the psychological patterns that shape how we see ourselves.

Stacey shares her journey from the entertainment industry to psychotherapy and explains why sovereignty goes beyond freedom. Drawing from her book The Queen’s Path, she explores how cultural expectations can cause women to fight against themselves, why women’s journeys differ from the traditional hero’s journey, and how understanding archetypes can help us develop healthier relationships with ourselves and others.

In this episode:

✅ The difference between personal sovereignty and freedom

✅ Why the traditional hero’s journey can overlook women’s experiences

✅ How cultural expectations pressure women to be likable, quiet, and perfect

✅ The inspiration behind Stacey’s book, The Queen’s Path

✅ How understanding archetypes can reshape our expectations of parents and partners

✅ Why defining your values and living by them can bring greater peace

✅ How women can embrace their identities without diminishing themselves to meet society’s standards
