Stop Doing the Math on Your Age. Gloria Steinem Didn't Ep 84

Send us Fan Mail Did you know the most famous feminist in the world didn't get married until she was 66? In this episode I'm paying tribute to Gloria Steinem and everything she did for American women, whether you realize it or not. Yes, that "a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" line. Yes, Ms. Magazine. And yes, the fact that women in this country couldn't even get credit in their own name until 1974. Why does this matter to you today? Because a lot of us are still carrying around old programming about what our worth is tied to. I'm talking about de-centering men, a concept from Cherise Taylor's book Decentering Men. It's not about giving up on love. It's about no longer obsessing over him, auditioning for him, or building your whole life around whether or not you find him. Can you want a relationship and still have a full life? Absolutely. I talk about what it actually looks like to want love without centering your entire existence around it, and why that's the version of you that men are actually drawn to. If Gloria Steinem can get married for the first time at 66, stop doing the math on your own age. I'm proof it can happen too.
