In this episode, we feature Dr. Shefali, a clinical psychologist who specializes in the integration of Western psychology and Eastern philosophy.She has written four books - three of which are New York Times best-sellers.  Her most recent work is entitled, "A Radical Awakening: Turn Pain Into Power, Embrace Your Truth, Live Free".This conversation can help people who feel suppressed embrace their power.We further investigate the salient differences between men and women at multiple levels of analysis - the biological, the cultural, and the archetypal.  From parental expectations, to entering public life, to the mating game, to marriage, we speak candidly about the fact that the male experience and female experience are not one and the same.0:00 Intro1:59 Dr. Shefali's background3:45 Questions from "A Radical Awakening"6:06 What does compassion mean?7:48 Women reclaiming their authentic selves9:44 Unrealistic standards put on women13:16 We don't live a life, we live a pattern14:56 Sensitive children are more impressionable16:13 Why men want to orgasm so often19:00 The "choosy" female in the mating game21:05 The reality of men preying on women24:38 The archetype of the "good girl", the giver, and the taker27:33 Breaking out of patterns shakes up our relationships 29:40 What's wrong with the marriage model?31:38 The tension between culture and the invidivual33:29 The virtue in recognizing impermanence35:14 Woke culture is too fixated on identity 37:41 Wrap-up38:36 "One Final Question"====================Buy the book!
