Join us in this thought-provoking episode of the White Feminism Podcast as we delve into the complex layers of white feminism, inspired by insightful discussions and personal reflections. Our guest, Jacqueline Mayorga Rivera, along with our host Doctora Nicole, sheds light on the nuances of privilege, power, and accountability within feminist discourse. From the origins of the 40-hour work week to the heroic narratives surrounding missing persons cases, we explore how white feminism often perpetuates systemic inequalities rather than dismantling them.

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of The Daily Radical: A Social Justice Podcast. This week our host, Dra. Nicole, is joined by the insightful Christina Gonzalez to delve deep into the topic of Toxic Monogamy Culture.

This episode covers:

1. Christian expectations of monogamy and marriage placed on women, and how this impacts the way we navigate relationships.
2. Non-monogamy is traditionally portrayed as deviant and unethical. We are only offered one option, and taught not to question it.
3. Consensual non-monogamy and a critical feminist analysis of monogamy. What assumptions do we make about relationships, especially in a heteronormative context?
4. Assumed promiscuity in non-monogamy**.** Non-monogamous relationships are not always about just sex, but sometimes they are and there is nothing wrong with that.
5. Healthy communication. Assumptions made in monogamous relationships are often derived from poor communication. What questions should we be asking our partners?

Today we are speaking with April Mayorga (IG @‌AprilMayorgaMFT) on Codependency as an Act of Survival. While we may think of codependency as negative, it is simply a morally neutral coping mechanism that helps us survive trauma. Join us as we discuss what codependency is (and what it isn’t!), where we develop it, and what to do if we exhibit codependent tendencies or engage in codependent relationships.
