It’s Not Just You: The Hidden Legacy Behind Women’s Burnout

Have you ever wondered why, despite our societal progress, women still wrestle with the guilt of not conforming to traditional roles? Join us as we unravel the invisible threads of societal expectations and generational beliefs that still influence our perceptions. We take you on a riveting journey from the mid-1970s, when a woman needed a man's signature to open a bank account, to the current era, where most families need two incomes to live comfortably. We explore the astounding transformation of women's roles and the long road to equality filled with challenges and victories, like Billie Jean King's stand for equal prize money in tennis and the slow acceptance of women wearing pants in public.Ladies, we know the road less travelled can be daunting and lonely. That's why we bring you this episode, offering an empathetic perspective on the difficulties ambitious women face today. We guide you through the impact of early-year programming on our subconscious minds and how it shapes our beliefs, affecting our choices and breeding guilt. But don't fret. We’re here to help you shake off these shackles of guilt and find your tribe, people who understand and can help normalise your journey. This episode is not just a history lesson; it's a guide for women striving to balance their lives while fueling this seismic societal shift. So tune in, lean in, and let's rise together!To view the Transcript from this week's episode, you can find it on our Balance & Beyond Podcast webpage: https://www.balanceinstitute.com/podcast/2023/23Send a text message to JoThe Balance & Beyond Podcast Hosted by Jo Stone, founder of The Balance InstituteFor women who are already succeeding, but beginning to wonder if they're willing to keep losing themselves in the process.We know high achievers, because we are one.
