Summary

In this episode of Feminology, I examine the distinctions between people-pleasing and fawning, discussing how intentions shape our relationships. Through personal anecdotes from my film industry experiences, I highlight the difference between genuine connection and manipulative flattery. I also address the implications of choosing isolation over family, advocating for the maturity that comes with marriage and parenthood. Additionally, I explore the philosophical notion of infinity as an anti-concept, and tackle listener questions on gratitude and balancing work with enjoyment. Throughout, I encourage a reflective and balanced approach to interpersonal dynamics and life’s complexities.
