Friends, we're going there - let's talk about how to transform culture and smash the patriarchy. But first, let's define what the patriarchy is… it's a social system in which men hold primary power and they predominantly hold roles of political leadership, moral authority, social privilege and control of property. This affects us all… including men, as well. So surely, there is something better.

My special guest today is Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza and they are simplifying how to transform culture and smash the patriarchy. Their work in the world is all about helping folks understand their role in all of this and show us the way to lean into deeper connections, greater understanding, and most importantly, get into relationship with others who are nothing like us.

Here's how.

My special guest today is Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza and they are simplifying how to transform culture and smash the patriarchy

We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

• Their take on "cancel culture" - what it is and what it does to shunt productive conversations and true action towards positive change - also, how to create safe spaces for sometimes awkward conversations
• "Diversity and inclusion" are such buzzwords these days… How can small business owners make positive change in their workplace and company culture that actually will move the needle forward
• What two questions you need to ask yourself first when considering your own identity and the positive changes you want to see and create in the world next that will transform the culture around you
• How to get into deeper relationships with people who are different than you and how to move past the fear of getting out of your comfort zone to (actually) do it
• …and ultimately, learn how the patriarchy is affecting our society in ways that may NOT be seen on the surface… And how to begin to dismantle it, in big or small ways.

If you've been listening to The Simplifiers Podcast for awhile now, you know we don't shy away from hard conversations.

And this is not an easy topic to simplify, but one well worth having.

My hope always is to help us all spark new ideas, new questions to ponder around the work table, and to help create positive change in the world. Thank you for tuning in and being open to consider new viewpoints that might be challenging to your current beliefs. We learn together - we grow together… it's time to simplify!
