Show Notes
“You don’t always have to be doing something. You can just be, and that’s plenty.” - Alice Walker
Buckle up friends. This is a big and very important conversation. Tovah and Rielly talk about white supremacy, the patriarchy, and even capitalism. Truth be told they are all connected. We are definitely not the first to have these thoughts and thus we will be directing you to a lot of great resources including but not limited to Tricia Hersey with the @napministry.
In case you’re wondering what this has to do with burn out, don’t worry, it has everything to do with busyness. The report found that 68 percent of working moms say they’re burned out compared with 42 percent of working dads. Not only are we working more and spending more time with our children—we have less help. This leads to our conversation on the human giver syndrome as recently highlighted in the book Burnout by Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski.
Life feels hard because it is hard. It is time to recognize the system we live in is part of the reason. Whether you’re new to thinking about these issues or not these are important conversations to have and we are glad to have you!
GO BOLDLY HOMEWORK
- Time for some journaling. Ask yourself a few questions:
- Am I assuming this woman has a moral obligation to be pretty, happy, calm, generous, or attentive to the needs of others?
- Am I assuming this man has a moral right and obligation to be competitive and acquisitive, to take and have anything he can, regardless of the impact on others?
- How am I contributing to a patriarchal system? What am I doing every day to make it worse and make it better?
- Take some time to broaden your world. Look in both real life and online to expand your circle to include those who do not have the same life experiences. Listen and learn.
