Powerback 217: 10 Ways to Beat the Patriarchy Nov 14, 2024

Show notes

If we’re going to dismantle the patriarchal system, we have to stop feeding it. For centuries, women have faced systemic oppression, discrimination, and limited opportunities—and for women of color and other marginalized communities, that fight has been even steeper.

Breaking a system designed to hold women back is a significant challenge, but it starts with small, powerful changes in our daily lives that support our potential instead of reinforcing our limitations.

How do we move forward to create a new landscape of opportunities for ourselves, the women in our lives, and all the girls to come? We take our Powerback®, speak up, stand up, and act.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

10 impactful ways to dismantle the patriarchy in your life
How overthinking and settling feed the very system holding us back
Personal and professional strategies to step into your power
Why self-prioritization is a superpower

If you’re ready to take action but feel overwhelmed or unsure where to start, today’s episode offers simple, actionable steps to start challenging the patriarchy in your everyday life.

Are you feeling the weight of burnout (again) and unsure how to break free from the cycle?
In today’s episode, we’re exploring the journey from burnout to a balanced, intentional life with our guest, Tori.

Together, we dive into self-discovery, setting boundaries, and reprogramming stress so you can start living a life that feels truly aligned.

Powerback 216: Break up with Being Busy Nov 07, 2024

Show notes

“It’s become so normal to be busy that it’s become abnormal to be still.”’

We've gotten so used to constant busyness that it feels strange to just be. While there’s no shortage of advice on managing stress, creating a life with less chaos starts by breaking up with our relationship with busyness itself.

In this episode, you’ll get an exclusive sneak peek into the first of four lessons from The Gutsy Collective, where we’re diving into managing stress. We’re starting with a deep look at why we cling to busyness and the fears that keep us tied to it.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Why we glorify busyness and what it “means” in our lives
How being busy fuels stress, exhaustion, and lack of fulfillment
A new way to respond to the question, “How busy are you?”
How to identify the fears behind your busyness so you can finally let go
How to own and GET what you actually want

If you’re tired of feeling overwhelmed by endless to-dos but unsure where to start, tune in for practical insights to help you make lasting, fulfilling changes.
