Ep 130: Rad Women

from Bloom Your Mind · host Marie McDonald

There is a goldmine of hacks and inspiration to learn from a specific population of people living in the world right now, and this episode is all about it. Maybe because we grew up in the 90’s, when body image culture caused eating disorders in myself and half of the young people around me. We grew up in a world that thought it had been liberated by the movements of the 60’s and 70’s, but that hadn’t yet publicly recognized multiple systems of oppression that were/are still woven through the fabric of the culture that we lived and breathed. Some of us were eating Special K and gummy bears to stay skinny, some were people pleasing and deferring as we lived up to expectations of the patriarchal systems we ate and slept and loved in. And we thought we were free, back then. But wait until you see us now. There is a generation of women who are more uniquely powerful, free, open and joyful than any one population of people that I’ve experienced before. And it’s the women who are exploring the middle decades of their life. They are owning hormonal and identity changes. They are collaborating and inspiring one another rather than competing and judging. And they are bringing unprecedented levels of joy and connection to the space they are in. What you’re learn in today’s episode: How finding a group of people going through the same moment of life can be the most empowering thing you can do The qualities that middle decade women are bringing to life in this culture, and why it’s such good medicine Why walking away from a conversation and listening deeply both come from the same well of confidence How connection over competition, and inspiration over judgement leads to deep connections and belonging Why hormonal changes are relevant for everyone to know and talk about Referenced on this podcast: Beyond Anxiety Congruence Time Whispering How to connect with Marie:On the Web | The Local BloomInstagram: @the.bloom.coachAll Things Marie on LinkTreeJOIN THE BLOOM ROOM!We'll take all these ideas and apply them to our lives.
