260. How to Claim Your Authority

Women are taught that someone else always knows better than we do. Even in areas where women are stereotypically presumed the authority, like running the household, we’re still constantly told that we don’t know what we’re doing! (Think all of the messaging about how we should parent our children or how we’re doing meal prep all wrong.) Tune in to this week’s podcast episode to find out how this socialization plays out in our lives, what is the most important thought work you can do, and how you can start taking back your authority. Get full show notes and more information here: https://unfuckyourbrain.com/260Mentioned in this episode:Have you been secretly dreaming of becoming a coach?I've got something for you.

How to Stop Giving a Fuck What Other People Think

“Maybe this is dumb, but… ,” “I know I shouldn’t feel this way… ,” “Does that make sense?”These may seem like simple, innocuous words, but they’re just an outward example of the many ways that women and people socialized as women don’t trust their own authority. It’s no wonder that as women we struggle with people pleasing, seeking validation, and not being able to tune into what we really want - we’re literally socialized to do these things.Find out more here: https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/the-society**This is an updated audio from 7/4/24**

255. Healthism, Chronic Pain, and Thought Work: A Conversation with Deb Malkin and Michelle Kapler

Sometimes, despite our best efforts, our bodies simply don’t work the way we want them to. Maybe it’s an occasional occurrence for you or maybe it’s something you live with every day. We take on all sorts of messages about what health is (and what it’s not), how we get healthy, and how we stay healthy. But is all of the social messaging we absorb really helping us measure health? Or is it something that has been designed and packaged to tell us how to measure our own morality and worth?Tune into my conversation with two of my students, Deb Malkin and Michelle Kapler, to learn why health is so challenging for so many of us, how we try to control our health, and how (as usual) trying to control something we can’t control, can make everything feel worse. Get full show notes and more information here: https://unfuckyourbrain.com/255Mentioned in this episode:Have you been secretly dreaming of becoming a coach?I've got something for you.
