Doing You: The Role of Expectations, Mindset, and Female Competition

Thoughts or comments? Send us a text!Why do so many women question their own ambitions? And why do so many of us seem to instinctively NOT support each other? In this episode, I sit down again with Dr. Kelly Weaber to unpack how society influences the way we make decisions—whether in careers, parenting, or personal growth. We talk about the weight of expectations, the guilt that can come with putting ourselves first, and the subtle ways competition among women can keep us small. Kelly shares her journey of navigating these challenges, and we explore the power of self-validation, finding your people, and rewriting the rules for yourself. If you’ve ever felt like you needed permission to go after what you want, this episode is for you.The Second Shift: Working Families and the Revolution at Home on AmazonLearn more about Arlie Hochschild HERESupport the showBUY ME A COFFEE or SUPPORT ALFIE'S TREAT STASHLearn more about my book, Nature Knows: Grow and Thrive through the Wisdom of Plants HERE.Comments about this episode?
