Do you have patriarchy on your brain? I can 100% guarantee that you do, and we need to get it out of there. However, such is the insidious nature of patriarchal socialization, it can be pretty difficult to see where this is happening in your own life. But you’re going to find out today.
If there was one thing that our human brains have the most trouble with, something we all tend to spin out on and catastrophize about, it would be uncertainty. There is no amount of learning or teaching that makes you immune to this, which is why I’m bringing it back this week on our Greatest Hits series.
On this special episode, I’m talking to Hannah Berner from the Berning In Hell podcast. She is a former competitive tennis player, podcast host, and standup comedian, and I love that we come from such different worlds. It made for an extremely interesting conversation where we shared our perspectives on everything from imposter syndrome, to the lack of diversity in standup comedy, and I can’t wait for you to listen in.
The whole endeavor of thought work boils down to self-inquiry and self-responsibility, and feeling “triggered” is an opportunity for us to lean into the uncomfortable emotions we often want to avoid. And on this Greatest Hits episode, we’re diving into why this is fundamental work.
Now that summer is here and places are starting to ease or even eliminate COVID restrictions, many of us are heading out, wearing less, and seeing more people than we have in the last year. So, if you’re finding that your thoughts about your body are starting to spiral, or your body image feels triggered by the notion of other people, this is the episode for you.
If you think you’re someone who isn’t creative, or you currently don’t like yourself and self-love is something you’re trying to obtain, you’ll see how everything I’m talking about today is linked, and how you actually have all the power you need in your hands right now to create the life and world you want.
