Get Comfortable
Women Downplaying Themselves for Men
Show Notes

Today we are going to be talking about the ways in which women tend to downplay themselves, minimize things and just generally take a back seat to make men around them feel more comfortable. Now, we are all for treating men well and even making them comfortable. Where this becomes an issue for a lot of women is when the comfort and needs of men are prioritized over their own comfort and needs. This can lead to a lack of sense of self, resentments and lots of stress for women. We look at some examples of ways that this can show up in daily life and talk about areas that we have struggled with. Then we throw out music recommendations in Jo Jam and get a little (way) too personal answering some questions in our Dish Bish Segment at the end!

This episode covers: 

  • Way that women suppress or downplay things for men 
  • Examples of things women might downplay and how this can show up in day to day life
  • What is toxic femininity and how does it tie in? 
  • Self awareness and how to show up authentically
