The latest episode of The SHE Word is packed with honesty, hard truths and life lessons and one moment in particular is already striking a chord.In the episode titled 10 Essentials That Every Woman Should Know, host Trudy Kerr sits down with Dez Zahra, Denise Kim Gafa and Sue Caruana for a no filter conversation about the lessons women often learn the hard way.From financial independence to gut instinct, from saying no to simply frying an egg, the discussion moves between the practical and the deeply personal.But it is Denise Kim Gafa’s raw reflection on femininity that stands out.“I don’t care if you think I’m too masculine for a feminine meant to be woman body,” she says candidly in the episode. “This is something I struggled with all my life.”Denise opens up about growing up wanting to be petite, cute and sweet, and how she continues to wrestle with those expectations even today.“When I was younger I always wanted to be the feminine type,” she shares. “But every time I struggle with it, it kind of backfires. I should have been aggressive in a healthy way. I should have been myself. I should have been stronger, more assertive.”She goes on to list the parts of herself that don’t fit into narrow definitions of womanhood.“I’m a woman who does sports. I’m a woman that shoots guns. I’m a woman who stands up for herself.”When Sue Caruana asks her directly whether people tell her she is “too manly”, Denise doesn’t hesitate.“Of course. My own therapist has said it to me.”The moment captures exactly what this episode promises: brutal honesty and conversations that challenge long held ideas about what women are supposed to be.This latest episode brings together three strong voices who do not shy away from saying what needs to be said.Whether you agree, feel seen, feel challenged or find yourself rethinking your own preconceptions, this is one of those conversations that stays with you.And as this clip proves, sometimes one sentence is enough to start it.Have you ever been told you were “too much” or “not enough” of something?•
