Episode #30: What We Lose When We Ignore Gender Roles in Modern Families


Listen Later

In this solo episode, I share my thoughts on a topic that feels more relevant than ever: the impact of burnout and the societal pressure to erase gender differences. Drawing from my decades of experience as a coach and therapist, I open up about how this push for sameness is leaving many women — and families -- emotionally drained and disconnected.

I reflect on the pressures women face to excel in every aspect of life, from thriving in their careers to being the perfect parent, and how this relentless drive is stealing their energy and joy. I also dive into the beauty of our unique gender strengths and how these differences can create stronger connections and partnerships when embraced, rather than ignored.

This episode is a heartfelt exploration of societal expectations, the importance of reclaiming your energy, and how we can cultivate meaningful relationships by celebrating who we truly are. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or questioning how to balance it all, this conversation is for you.
