Episode Description
We all go through life, absorbing social constructs from our families, communities, cultures, etc. More often than not, very few of those constructs and what is considered "normal" as a definition of those constructs are authentic to who we inherently are.
In this episode, we explore one of the constructs that we've explored A LOT in our own lives and in our relationship - gender "norms." As we've unraveled from old, untrue definitions of what gender means to us in our own lives, we've redesigned our lives with roles and tasks that are true to who we are instead of those that are traditionally defined by the "gender roles" within a family, business, community, etc.
We use gender to showcase how a construct can be questioned and actually deconstructed. There are endless constructs that plague individuals. Gender is just one of those. Our intention in his episode is to share a dialogue and strategies that spark reflections and potentially change for any listener about ANY construct that is no longer true.
