In this episode, I’m doing something different—reading one of my Sunday articles aloud. This article, "Wired for Safety," gained traction in an old-school viral way, and I felt it was worth sharing. This was inspired by an Instagram exchange where a woman called me a "heretical witch" for stating that the female body is an oracle. Despite her outrage, I stand by my belief that a woman’s body is designed in a way that naturally sustains life and ensures safety.

A woman’s nervous system isn’t just about her survival—it’s wired to manage her environment. Our biology is wired to assess safety, which is why we experience stress, fear, and uncertainty so intensely 

The male and female brains are structurally different, which significantly influences how each gender perceives and interacts with the world. While male brains are generally larger due to body size, female brains have stronger connections between the hemispheres, particularly in areas like the hippocampus and corpus callosum. This allows women to process emotions and logic simultaneously, whereas men tend to compartmentalize and focus on tasks sequentially. 

Recognizing and embracing these differences can lead to greater understanding and harmony in relationships, as well as a deeper appreciation for the unique strengths each gender brings to the world. I’m diving into all of this and so much more in this episode, and I hope you’ll join me. Tune in today!
