Have you ever heard the phrase “He’s punching above his weight” and stopped to think about what it really means? It’s often said as a joke, but underneath it lies a deeper issue—the idea that a woman’s worth is defined by how she looks, while a man’s worth is measured by his success, humour, or status.
In this episode, we dive into the impact of the male gaze and the unrealistic pressures placed on women to be seen as ‘attractive enough.’ We explore how these outdated ideas shape relationships, self-worth, and body image—and, most importantly, how we can start to break free from them.
I'm talking about:
✅ Why the phrase “He’s punching” is more damaging than it seems
✅ How media, dating culture, and social norms reinforce the male gaze
✅ The emotional impact of feeling like you have to ‘maintain’ your attractiveness
✅ How to reclaim your body and self-worth from external validation
✅ Ways to challenge and shut down these outdated ideas when you hear them
Also, there's an update on my coaching prices. I've DROPPED them! Take a look at the "work with me" link below.
