    How to Have More Joy, Pleasure, and Fun This Summer

    enJuly 29, 2023

    Podcast Summary

    • Summer experiences shaping young mindsSummer camps and schools offer unique opportunities for growth during formative years, catering to various interests and preferences.

      Summer experiences, such as summer camp or summer school, can have a profound impact on individuals, especially during their formative years. While some may enjoy the traditional outdoor and athletic activities of summer camp, others may find intellectual and social growth through programs like summer school. The speaker shares her personal experience of disliking traditional summer camp due to her introverted nature and preference for cleanliness. However, she discovered the joy of summer school at a young age through the Center for Talented Youth (CTY), which provided her with a taste of college life and a community of like-minded, intelligent peers. This experience shaped her perspective on summer programs and instilled a love for learning and independence. Now, she is excited to offer a new feminist summer school program through The Clutch, which aims to provide similar opportunities for intellectual and social growth for participants.

    349. How to Stop Giving a F*ck What Other People Think

    In celebration of Independence Day, I'm discussing one of the ultimate forms of independence - breaking free from caring about what others think. As social creatures, humans have evolved to rely on relationships for survival, making us sensitive to others' opinions. However, this conditioning is often even deeper for women and can impact every aspect of their lives, including their careers, relationships, self-worth, parenting, and so much more. If you want to stop obsessing over what others think and start living unapologetically, where do you begin?

    Join me as I dive into why women struggle with this issue and provide actionable steps to rewire your brain and liberate yourself from this mental burden.

    Understanding what you want is key to creating a life you won’t regret when you die. So why do so many women struggle to pinpoint exactly what that is? If you can relate, in this Greatest Hits episode, I break exactly down what it means to want something (and why women especially might struggle to identify that), how to know what YOU truly want, and how to decide whether it's worth pursuing.

    346. Why Rest & Pleasure Can Be Hard - But Are Keys to Being Happy

    Do you find it hard to relax if there’s still laundry to be done, or if someone’s mad at you? Most women do. The reality is that most of us find resting and feeling pleasure in general extremely challenging. But why?

    Join me for part two of our mini-series on happiness this week to learn why we find it hard to rest, relax, and enjoy ourselves, and why it’s critical that we learn how to. I’m showing you how our socialization has alienated us from our bodies, the conflicting definitions of happiness we’re fed as women, and the importance of learning how to be physically present.
