Conditioned Subjugation of Women's Desires
Women are often socialized to prioritize the needs of others over their own desires, leading to a lack of self-awareness regarding what they truly want. This conditioning creates discomfort when feelings of envy arise, prompting women to criticize those who trigger these emotions instead of examining these feelings for insights. The podcast highlights the significance of acknowledging and sitting with uncomfortable feelings, such as envy, to better understand personal desires. Such self-interrogation can serve as a pathway to reclaiming personal agency and understanding the transformative power of desire.
