Embracing Risk Even When It Scares You

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you!Welcome to the final episode of season 5 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In this episode, we start with a quote we can’t shake: “A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.” From there, we dig into the gender gap around risk taking. Men are often encouraged to try, fail, and try again. Women are more likely to be trained to be cautious, to act as the brakes in relationships, and to carry the invisible labor of safety planning. We also get vulnerable about how we are being called to embrace more risk when it comes to Woman Uncaged and what that brings up for each of us.  Along the way, we pull courage from women’s history, name the harm of patriarchal systems, and come back to what makes any of this possible: sisterhood, community, and a web of relationships that helps us keep going.If this conversation lights something up in you, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more women can find these unfiltered conversations. What’s one risk you’re ready to take, even if your hands shake?Mentions:Golda Meir Quote: When PM Golda Meir was asked to place a curfew on women in Israel to help end a series of rapes, Meir replied “But it is the men who are attacking the women. If there is to be a curfew, let the men stay at home.”Book: Romantic Outlaws: The Extraordinary Lives of Mary Wollstonecraft & Mary Shelley by Charlotte GordonSupport the show~Linda's book: Homecoming: One Woman's Story of Dismantling Her Inner Cage and Freeing Her Wild Feminine Soul   ~Laura's Monday Money Missives: https://goodwithmoney.substack.com/~Linda's Wild Woman in the Burbs: https://lindasewalliuskatz.substack.com/Support the Show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2281161/supporters/newEmail us: [email protected].
