Summary

As a historically patriarchal institution, marriages of the past benefited the man far more than the woman. A man and woman became one legal entity, but the woman was essentially absorbed by her husband — she couldn’t hold a profession or make legal decisions for herself. She existed for procreation and unpaid labor. So what happens when despite knowing all of the statistics and all of the history, you think you still might want to get married? In part 2 of this series about my engagement, I focus on the decision to get married as it relates to socialization, why we can’t completely desocialize our brains, and why sometimes you just have to live with ambiguity and ambivalence.

I have created a brand new private podcast called how to coach like a feminist, adding

1:00.7

a feminist lens to coaching or cognitive-based therapy.

1:04.0

So whether you are a certified life coach or licensed mental health professional, this

1:08.6

is essential listening if you work with women or people socialize as women.

1:12.9

You may not identify as a feminist, but society identifies your clients as women, if they

1:18.3

are women or socializes women, and that means that their brains are being impacted and

1:23.4

1:28.4

That is why having a feminist lens on your coaching or on your cognitive-based therapy

1:32.9

is so important.

1:35.3

So in this private podcast, I'm really distilling down to the essence, the most important

1:41.1

powerful points on kind of every stage of having, especially a coaching, but also some

1:48.4

forms of a therapeutic relationship from how you market and describe yourself in your
