What's The Point
nothing stays the same. everything is subject to change. how we sit in the uncomfortable and surrender to life’s ups and downs is one of the greatest skills we can acquire. it’s easy to think we’ll be happy “when”—we make a certain amount of money, meet the right person, get to a certain destination, but even after that, the goalpost is going to move. in this new season of What’s the Point? we explore how to navigate the critical junctures—both expected and unexpected that fundamentally change who we are—whether it be weight loss, career change, divorce, death, grief, breaking up or falling in love.

Unleash your femininity with Amy Stanton
Amy Stanton of Stanton & Company and coauthor of The Feminine Revolution joins to talk not marketing, not PR - but masculine and feminine energies. Amy is a pioneer in a new era of women’s rights that is not competitive, but rather a complementary approach. Traditionally, female attributes are looked down upon as “weaK” - however, what we reframe these qualities as strength? We don’t need to be more of anything that we aren’t but rather unblock the femininity that’s within us. We go over why we don’t need to be more masculine, but what we need to do instead. We answer questions such as: how do you know which feminine archetypes are true to you (we both have a mix of masculine and feminine)? How do you cultivate the femininity that has been buried in a patriarchal society? How do we show up differently in our relationships —work, platonic, familial and romantic proudly and courageously as both and all of what we authentically are?Follow the show on:InstagramTikTokProduction by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.

Emily is an open book—she tells us how to be alone and love it and how to enjoy your own company, especially as a method to recharge being an entrepreneur in NYC’s fast paced society. We discuss how rules and rigidity can actually serve you if executed with grace, the shame she felt about being “single forever” and the blocks she dismantled along the way to find a relationship where she truly felt seen.

You don’t have to be a monk to be spiritual with Desirée Pais
Desirée Pais is the founder of BENSHEN.co, a platform that empowers women to unlock their personal power through access to wellness tools for the modern day human. BENSHEN is a true testament that you can live a healthy, spiritual life, and have fun at the same time - you don’t have to follow every rule and become a monk to lead a life of integrity and of your dreams. While this is Desirée’s company, her life could not have been more opposite from BENSHEN’s mission in her early years. Desirée wasn’t always a spiritual saint— it was in fact her struggle with living in extremes—struggling with an eating disorder, autoimmune, depression and chronic skin issues that pushed her to explore outside of her comfort zone. We discuss the toxicity of living in the extremes, engaging in mindfulness practices for one self vs. ‘because it’s what one should do’, romantic relationships and the misconception of things not working out because ‘you keep choosing the wrong partners; vs. ‘you didn’t choose yourself’.Production by Peoples Media Hosted on Acast.
