Culture Changers with Allison Hare

The Matriarchy


Listen Later

My mother died on June 11th, five years ago. This is the episode I recorded right after she passed. It's episode 300, and it's dedicated to her.

What I didn't expect was what her last six months would teach me. About the matriarchy. About worthiness. About the hypermasculine drive that so many of us — myself very much included — run on until we can't anymore. And about what happens when you finally let yourself receive love instead of earn it.

If you still have your mother here, you will want to call her after this one.

In this episode:

  • The real history of the matriarchy — and why it matters that it existed before the patriarchy
  • How watching a parent die dismantles the story you've been living
  • What hypermasculine burnout actually looks like from the inside
  • What her last six months looked like — and why she was happier than she'd been in decades
  • What "being enough" feels like when someone you love shows you it's true
