What happens when women are taught to be palatable instead of powerful?

In this episode of Business Origin Stories, I sit down with Sophie Jane Lee, CEO and founder of Electric Peach, to talk about her debut book, Beyond Palatable—a bold, compassionate manifesto for women who are tired of shrinking, apologizing, and silencing themselves to fit in.

Sophie shares her deeply personal journey, from growing up undiagnosed neurodivergent and struggling with addiction, to reclaiming her voice and helping thousands of women do the same. We explore why women silence themselves, why women silence each other, and how centuries of conditioning still show up in modern spaces like social media, leadership, motherhood, and visibility.

This conversation dives into:

• Why “being seen” still feels dangerous for so many women
• How shame, perfectionism, and burnout keep women small
• The difference between women being silenced and women silencing themselves
• What community, ritual, and cycles can teach us about coming home to ourselves
• Why using your voice will always invite resistance—and why that’s a sign it matters

This episode is honest, expansive, and deeply human. If you’ve ever felt like you were too much, not enough, or afraid to take up space, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

Sophie’s book Beyond Palatable is available for pre-order now, with release on International Women’s Day.
