33 min - The Gen X Woman Blueprint
This week we’re talking all about The Gen X Woman Blueprint. What makes us tick? Why do we do the things we do? And how is our Gen X Woman Blueprint holding us back? So often the things that hold us back from living the best, juiciest, highest version of our own lives have to do with the values that were instilled in us at a very young age. The good news about that is that we can decide, in any moment, to adopt thoughts, beliefs and values that will serve where we WANT to go.

About Defending Lady Macbeth
From the publisher's feed
Was Lady Macbeth a cunning, evil, manipulative, murderous villain, or a fierce, smart, badass influencer who did what needed to be done? Now I’m not saying conspiring to murder your husband’s boss is OK! (it’s bad!) But what’s a woman to do when she has IDEAS, a POINT OF VIEW and a PLAN and absolutely no “right” to show up in her power?
I’m calling you, beckoning you, down a dimly lit hallway, a gravelly, uneven path, where we will hold up Lady Macbeth as our cautionary tale of what happens when you step outside the socio-political roles that history has written for YOU, for US, as WOMEN.
When we say - THIS IS WHAT I WANT, and then go after it.
When we show up in our sovereignty as WOMEN.
When we let our AMBITION show, even just a little.
When we stand naked and visible in our POWER.
We are going to LAY BARE all that history has given us on female agency, ambition and power by having juicy conversations with leading experts on women and gender studies, Medieval experts, and Shakespearean scholars about what life was actually like for women during Lady Macbeth’s time in history vs. the experience we live today.
We’ll also talk with bad-ass women (like you!) who have laid their ambition out for all to see and have suffered the overt and subliminal consequences that are built into our social, corporate, and family structures.
We’ve been conditioned for thousands of years as women to give up, deny and side-step our own agency. To not rock the boat and to never show up visibly in our own power. OR ELSE.
This show is all about revealing our current reality by unearthing the past, all in an effort to create change at scale in our future, for women everywhere. The BIG questions we will be grappling with are, “How far have we, as women, REALLY come since the Middle Ages?” and “How can we normalize women’s ambition, help them activate their agency, and stand firmly and boldly in their power?”
