It enables us to create a version of ourselves that's not weighed down by our fears and limiting beliefs. It's no surprise so many celebrities have an alter ego...and that religions (literally) demonize people who channel them... ✨Hope you love it and can use this law to make your dreams come true.

Short form content has enshittified a lot of the discourse around women empowerment. A lot of “feminist” content has been condensed into easy to digest soundbites that follows a specific formula (which I’ll get into). In this episode I’m going to discuss three big cases of what I call “brain rot feminism” (aka pseudo women empowerment or choice feminism) that have probably shown up on your feed at some point.

Welcome to the second episode of Machiavelli for Women. In this series, I decode The Prince, one of the most controversial texts in history, to help women flip the patriarchy on its head. In this episode, I discuss the most dangerous type of friend in our circle. This person hides in plain sight and their danger might be dormant for years, until triggered. And sometimes, that dangerous friend is not even a person at all... BTW this article by Elizabeth Stice was my inspo for the AI angle of this discussion. xoxoxo Neekolo Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 3:57 What Machiavelli says 13:04 Two reasons women aren't united 23:12 The MOST dangerous of all 29:48 How to take back control If you get ads at the beginning of this episode, add ~3 minutes to the timestamps Music credit © Chœur des Marais, Villefranche sur Saône, Fr __________ 🎙️ About the podcast: The patriarchy is starting to crumble, but sadly it probably won't be fully dismantled in our lifetime.

Have you ever wondered why every Abrahamic religion treats menstruating women as dirty and spiritually contaminated? That’s because religion took creation – something that’s uniquely feminine – and attributed it to a male god. And because it couldn’t erase the physical evidence of female creation, it warped it into something shameful and impure. In this episode, I roll up my sleeves and answer the questions many of us are afraid to ask. I’ll discuss: How religion began 250,000 years ago as a shamanistic practice with female leadersThe catalyst that made religion devolve into a patriarchal institutionThe neuroscience research showing how religion shuts down parts of our brainHow religion & girlhood socialization contain complementary grooming mechanismsThe missing piece explaining the paradox that women tend to be more religious than menWhether Abrahamic religions can ever serve women& the spiritual tool that women need ✨ God isn’t a woman. Woman is god. 📚 Get your copy of How to Hack the Patriarchy on Amazon or purchase the EPUB file.

Have you ever wondered why someone ghosted you? I bet you felt pretty crappy afterward, and spent days thinking of something you said or did that pushed the person away. You probably replayed your interactions over and over again to spot where it all went wrong. I have some good news for you that will settle the question of "Why do I keep getting ghosted" once and for all. After this episode, you'll never ask that question again, I guarantee it.
