This episode is a listener requested topic on my origin story. I'll briefly discuss the god awful relationship I was in for 5 YEARS. Then I'll discuss 7 lessons we can all learn so we never make the same mistakes I did.

1. People will push you as far as you let them -- even the nice guys (16:51)
2. A relationship is a web of precedents (18:20)
3. You cannot change anyone (20:14)
4. Not having gender roles creates resentment (23:41)
5. Like begets like (28:09)
6. Your fear of being alone will enable manipulation and abuse (29:40)
7. Ugliness is your body’s way of communicating with you (32:05)

🎙️ About the podcast: The patriarchy is starting to crumble, but sadly it probably won't be fully dismantled in our lifetime. In this podcast, I help women exploit the system's loopholes while finding the hidden ways the patriarchy conditions us to leak our power. Because guess what? Power isn't given, it's either taken or created. And it's time to take back the power the patriarchy stole from us.
