YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn our latest chat on the Why Smart Women podcast, my dear friend and mentor, Gai, and I discussed how engaging with our relationships often means balancing empathy with tough love. Explore how storytelling and identity shape our connections and why maintaining your sense of self is crucial when supporting others. We’ll introduce you to the concept of "tend and blend," a fascinating gendered response to danger revealing how women might move towards threats, not away, as a survival tactic—a counterintuitive yet insightful survival mechanism.
We examine how clinging to past mistakes or outdated narratives can hinder growth and how breaking free from these patterns can lead to personal evolution. Through acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), we highlight how avoidance of unpleasant emotions can trap us in unhealthy cycles. Together, we explore the power of changing our self-perception, and embracing new identities.
