Episode Synopsis

A mother should be a force to be reckoned with. Think … mama bear, think lioness, think queen bee… they are the fiercest and most powerful of all animals. Yet, we have taken a step backward. Somewhere along the way we've lost the alpha piece of us, the part where we are powerful alpha leaders. Somewhere along the way we have become servants to our families, our children. Our homes are run like a hotel where the mom is staff, and the other members of the household are guests. Why? A big piece of it is because of internalized patriarchy. We are repressing our own authority. We are burying ourselves in a cycle of inequality. I'm sure you've known something strange is going on here, you can feel it, but you can't see it. And you don't know a way out. That's where I come in – to help women, to help moms, find their power. In this episode we shine a light on internal patriarchy by identifying three manifestations of it in modern motherhood and we discuss what to do about it.
