Finding Equilibrium Podcast- Defining Masculinity and Femininity in Todays Society

By: Stacy Fayling & Chad Akers
  • Summary

  • Welcome to the Finding Equilibrium podcast, where we dive deep into the battle of the sexes because let’s be real: the relationship between men and women is complex, nuanced, and often fraught with tension. Women are expected to be assertive and career-driven, while men are encouraged to embrace their emotions and be more vulnerable. But are we really finding balance and harmony, or are we just creating more confusion? We know that finding true equilibrium requires us to confront the uncomfortable truths and challenge the status quo so rather than shy away from the tough conversations, we embrace them head-on. We’ll delve into the cultural narratives that have shaped our perceptions of masculinity and femininity, and examine how we can break free from the constraints of societal expectations and ideations, like why women are pushed to act more like men, and why men are becoming more like the women they were raised to protect. We’re not here to tiptoe around the issue. We’re here to call it out because we believe that by creating a more equitable society, one that values and respects the unique strengths of men and women, we can unlock a world of unlimited potential. So, whether you’re here to explore the battle of the sexes, or simply seeking inspiration to bring your own assets to the table, we invite you to join us for some thrilling and controversial conversation. Let’s level up as a society and create a future where men and women can thrive together and find equilibrium.
