    In this weeks episode, Michelle, shares her views on the female empowerment culture we see played out on social media platforms.

    Michelle shares:

    • The link between patriarchy, capitalism, and narcissism
    • The harm caused by the promotion of privilege
    • The difference between cultural norms V's biological norms
    • Why our nervous system hasn't evolved at the same rate as technology
    • The focus on image V's what's on the inside
    • Why we are more than a story and narrative
    • The power and agency of shifting the focus to our skills, qualifications, trainings & professional practice
    • How to integrate an embodied lens into female empowerment

    We must work together to create a new culture, a new narrative, a new world.
