Summary
Why is it so hard for us to believe that we’re the authority? It’s because as women, we were socialized to think that way (shocking, right?) — to feel like we’re not quite adults and we’re just faking it till we make it. In this special podcast episode, you’ll hear an interview I did with Sarah Nicole on The Papaya Podcast. We’ll discuss how our socialization affects why we don’t see ourselves as adults, how women are taught to believe that our value fluctuates, and the conflict and tension inherent in being a working mom.

| 0:28.0 | Hello, my chickens. |
| 0:29.5 | So here's my question. |
| 0:30.8 | Have you ever looked around and just kind of thought like, |
| 0:34.5 | am I really in charge of what's going on here? |
| 0:37.6 | I'm an adult now. |
| 0:38.6 | I just do things on my own. |
| 0:40.6 | I have this weird feeling every time I rent a car where like all of a sudden I feel like I'm 17 or something and I'm like they're just going to give me a car which makes no sense because I could literally walk into a dealership and buy a car at any time. |

| 1:21.7 | But we talk about the sort of like, wait, I'm the adult here, but we talk about the sort of |
| 1:24.0 | beliefs women are fed and taught that our value fluctuates. We talk a lot about |
| 1:28.8 | being a working mom and the conflict inherent in that and the tension that women experience. |
| 1:34.9 | I actually coach Sarah, the host of the Papaya podcast through some kind of mom guilt that's |
