SELF with Lisa Clarke

Don't you think it's wild how normalised (healthy) conflict is in romantic relationships, yet when it comes to our friendships, it's barely spoken about, let alone thought of as a positive quality. 

Here to do some debunking and storytelling is my bestie, Kristina. 
Within this episode we share an example of conflict we moved through in our friendship as well as our opinions on how female centred friendships in particular can benefit from some healthy conflict from time to time.

Up until the 1970's the words 'controlling' and 'woman' were never used in conjuction with one another. 
In this episode we take a look back to that time to see what caused the word 'control' to be not only gendered, but thought of as a negative quality. 

Oh, prepared to be outraged. 

Conversation markers: 

• Present day example that prompted this conversation
• The narrative on control and the histroy behind its shift in meaning 
• Understanding what might make someone controlling
• POSITIVES OF CONTROL

Leaving you with the opportunity to get reflective on your own bias (rather what you have been taught!!) and how you can begin to think more positive about that healthy drive within you to be heard, and create impact or influence.

This week we are talking about a topic we should not stop talking about anytime soon: Women's Health.
For this conversation we warmly welcome, Sheree Boyd-Smith to the Self Podcast. 

The touchstones of this conversation include;

• Sheree's diverse nursing experience and her experiences within these areas of the medical industry
• Medicine and Holistic approach to health
• Female focused medical studies (rather, the lack of!) throughout history
• Advocacy, education and support
• Female health professionals paving the way
• Mental + physical health during pregnancy/ childbirth/ postpartum/ menopause
• The respect of Women within all the above topics

Okay so I have already abandoned my initial intention of one world punchy titles for this season - but thats okay, no rules here and anyway I could not sum up this convo in one word.

Super pumped to offer the first episode of our story telling season with a conversation on Mothers through the generations with my Mum, Pauline.

Our conversation blooms around four major conversation points:

• Differences of Mothering in 1954 (my Grandmother), 1989 (my Mother) and 2022 (me). Think expectations, support, co-parenting, education and lifestyle in all 3 generations. We came across some alarming parallels. 
• Learning to advocate for yourself as a (human being and) Mother in your relationship.
• Gender roles and their expiration date.
• Respecting Women, respecting Mothers.

Please note there are themes of Domestic Violence spoken about in this episode.

This 15 minute coaching session is for you to reach for whenever you may be experiencing an anxiety or panic attack. This speaks to that moment when you feel the world is either spinning or disolving around you - in that moment, take yourself to a quiet place and press play on this episode. I hope it offers you relief. 

This is not a mediation or breathwork session.
These are words for you to know that in these moments of complete despair, you are not alone.

A powerful little episode, as identity and self empowerment take centre stage. 
Because, you matter.
Because, it is a wonderful thing to remind ourselves that we have every bit of anything we need inside of us already.

Is there anything more empowering than understanding that there isn't just ONE way to do things?
Understaning that the way that you naturally want to move through, and receive life is not only normal, but there are others that move and receive the same way as you?

That my friends, is being seen - and there is no better feeling.

For both the adult and child in you, enjoy today's episode as we talk around the 7 different ways human beings learn - and I am sure as the world evolves different ways of learning will be added to this list! Bring it on.
