from Women's Empowerment School Hosted by Sylvia Becker-Hill on 5 Steps You can Take to Empower Yourself
As women, we have a lot to overcome in the process of reclaiming our power. Not only are we fighting the biases of people around us, we also have to overcome our own subconscious belief that power is inherently male. How do we go about rewiring our brains and empowering ourselves to take control of our lives? On this episode of Women's Empowerment School, Sylvia is tackling the topic of power. She shares her expanded definition of power to include an influence over our own behavior and thinking in addition to the behavior of others. Sylvia encourages us to consider the power dynamic between the male and female adults we grew up with and the way we have been hardwired to associate power with men. Sylvia covers powerful female figures in history, discussing how Roman historians portrayed Cleopatra and why the idea of a powerful woman as unnatural and dangerous persists to this day.
