The 2020/2021 Summer Olympics have come to an end, but we share our thoughts on some of the highlights from these games. There were a ton of “firsts” and some amazing wins by incredible female athletes. We also share our thoughts on mental health awareness in high level sports as well as the ridiculous uniform requirements some sports have. We discuss our favorite parts of these Olympics and some of the interesting facts we’ve learned while listening to the commentators. Of course, with so much going on, we did not have time to cover everything, but we want to wish a massive congratulations to all of the Olympic athletes that put their blood, sweat, and tears into these events. Thank you and we’re so proud of all of you!! Check out our post on Instagram for an update on how the games ended as this episode was recorded prior to the end of the Olympics, and make sure to give us a follow @myovariesmademedoit

Today we’re discussing the popular TED talk given by Sarah Knight, The Magic of Not Giving a F**K. Her take on this common phrase is to have f**ks represent your time, energy, and money. And honestly, when she breaks it down that way it makes it a lot easier to not give a f**k about things you truly don’t care about. Join us, as we share our takeaways from this talk and how we feel it can be used in everyday life. And if you’re interested in checking out Sarah’s TED talk (which now has over 9 Million views!), click here. Make sure to follow us on instagram @myovariesmademedoit

Like many of you, we grew up in the era of Britney Spears and the overly sexualized pop-stars and overbearing media. With the release of New York Times' recent documentary, Framing Britney Spears, about the events that went down from the beginning of Britney's rise to fame, through her eventual break down and conservatorship, we recount our memories at the time and how they have changed since then. We also discuss other interviews from this era that have since resurfaced regarding women in Hollywood and the intrusive and inappropriate questions they were asked, along with the repulsive way our society/the media victim blamed, victim shamed or blatantly allowed the sexual harassments of women on screen. We share some of our own experiences dealing with this topic growing up, and our hopes for future generations both in society and in the media. 

What are your thoughts? We'd love to hear from you. Connect with us on Twitter @myovariesmademe. To read the full Buzzfeed article we reference, click here. If you haven't seen the Framing Britney Spears documentary, we highly recommend you check it out, it is available on Hulu and YouTube. 

Today we wrap up our four-part series on Cuties with an important quote from director Maïmouna Doucouré asking, what she considers to be the real question of this film: "Can we, as women, truly choose who we want to be beyond the role models that are imposed upon us by society?" We discuss this topic as well as another important observation by the director: "Isn't the objectification of women's bodies that we often see in the western culture just another form of oppression?". With so many stories resurfacing recently about how the media has failed our young women over the past years, now is the time to hold a mirror up to society and ourselves and really question what we're accepting as societal norms when it comes to our young women and men.
