S4, Ep9: The problem with female empowerment culture
In this weeks episode, Michelle, shares her views on the female empowerment culture we see played out on social media platforms.
Michelle shares:
Why the female empowerment culture is not trauma-informed
The link between patriarchy, capitalism, and narcissism
The harm caused by the promotion of privilege
The difference between cultural norms V's biological norms
Why our nervous system hasn't evolved at the same rate as technology
The focus on image V's what's on the inside
Why we are more than a story and narrative
The power and agency of shifting the focus to our skills, qualifications, trainings & professional practice
How to integrate an embodied lens into female empowerment
How our nervous system influences what we share and how we share it
We must work together to create a new culture, a new narrative, a new world.
Be brave!
