Episode Details

In this episode of Wonder in the Weeds, I sit down with my daughter, Faith, to talk about the realities of being a woman in the world today. As a therapist and a mother, I started noticing the deep societal conditioning that taught me to constantly read a room and accommodate others to keep the peace. I brought Faith on the show to get her take on this as a 23-year-old navigating the dating world.

We discuss the pressure to fit a specific mold and what happens when you decide to show up as an unapologetic, confident woman. We also explore the struggle to set boundaries without feeling like you are failing, and we take time to rethink what feminism actually means across different generations.

In this episode, we discuss:

* My realization about accommodating men to keep the peace.

* Why taking up space and dominating a conversation can make people uncomfortable.

* Setting boundaries and refusing to engage in toxic arguments.

* Faith's experience with dating and the societal pressure to find a steady partner.

* Our weekly media recommendations, including the books, shows, and music we are loving right now.
