In this episode of My Mama Summer, my husband, Brendan Murphy, joins me to dive deep into the often tricky and controversial world of modern feminismâunpacking how itâs evolved and why it might be doing more harm than good for women today.
Together, we share our take on how feminism, rather than empowering women, often leaves them feeling powerless by promoting victimhood and pushing them away from their innate feminine strength.
We chat about the growing criticism of traditional feminine traits like caring, nurturing and softness, and how some feminists label these qualities as "low value."
We also explore the unrealistic expectation for men to be more feminine while still maintaining masculine roles, creating a confusing imbalance in relationships and society. From the feminisation of men to the suppression of masculine energy, we donât hold back in questioning how this narrative serves anyone.
With honesty and vulnerability, we share how rejecting these modern ideas, embracing traditional gender roles, and focusing on âinner workâ has brought us both a sense of balance, fulfilment and deeper connection in our relationship.
If youâve ever felt like something is off with the current conversation around feminism or questioned how it impacts men and women in real life, this episode will give you a freshâand much-neededâperspective.
Tune in to explore the âunseen chainsâ of feminism, and how reclaiming true feminine power can lead to personal freedom, stronger relationships, and a more aligned life.
Warning: This podcast is not a highlight reel. (And I think that's a refreshing thing in a world of superficiality and false pretences.)
Go behind the scenes of my life as I build an online business, raise a family with intention, live abroad in a new country, and unpack trauma, programming, and reparent myself openly in the public realm.
In every episode, youâll get insights into the depth of what it really takes to build a business, whilst being a present mama, living a life outside the box, and doing the work it takes to be who weâre meant to be.
My Mama Summer is my journey to becoming whole.
