This week we delve further into the essential conversation about creating safe spaces for women, continuing from where our last discussion ended. Have you ever pondered what it genuinely means for a woman to feel safe and understood? We unravel the complexities of emotional expression, the societal pressures women endure, and the roles men can assume to nurture a supportive environment.We explore how societal expectations and "programming" from a young age can shape our views on what women should be, do, and feel. The discussion reveals the subtle ways in which women, especially black women, are taught to prioritize everyone else's needs above their own.But what does it look like when a woman starts pulling away from vulnerability? We discuss the red flags men should watch out for. It's a call to men to be more attentive and present to women’s emotional needs in order for them to open up to their partners.Join us as we continue to explore and unlearn, striving to understand the nuanced dynamicsof support, communication, and love in relationships.Send us your questions and/or topic suggestions hereLike, share, follow and rate the podcast!
