The Pat Poems Episode 8: Leadership & Pushing Against Cultural Norms

In this episode we explore leadership through family dynamics and the power of feminine and masculine energies. In that exploration we also discuss cultural narratives around gender roles and I share my experience as part of a matriarchal family.Other topics we get into include the impact of shame, sexuality, pathologization of emotions, servant leadership, the complexity of female alliances, and the need for both feminine and masculine energies for ultimate success.We also recite multiple Pat poems and dive into the influence of poetry on identity . By the end of this episode we hope you can identify your leadership style and find ways to imbue softness and strength side by side, ways to share your power with those around you to create opportunities for mutual growth.Check out our instagram page and leave a comment!Episode LinksCassandra Speaks, by Elizabeth LesserHarvard Business Review: https://hbr.org/2016/04/research-we-are-way-harder-on-female-leaders-who-make-bad-calls Stillness Speaks, by Eckhart Tolle
