The Great Divorce is Coming: Women Have Had Enough and Want To Be Free

10/19/24 • 11 min

In this episode, Lynn explores the pivotal question: Is it time for women to break free from societal constraints? For too long, women have been conditioned to be small and subservient, but change is in the air, and it’s time to confront the truths we've been taught.

From the wisdom of our grandmothers to the reality of weaponized incompetence, we discuss the systemic issues that have held women back, including lack of respect, emotional intelligence, and equal partnership in relationships. Women are now choosing independence, whether through opting for child-free lives, prioritizing careers, or leaving unfulfilling marriages.

As more women unite and share their experiences, we ask: Are we on the brink of a “Great Divorce”? This episode delves into the rise of female empowerment, the evolving dynamics between men and women, and the urgent need for men to adapt and view women as equals. Join us as we dissect these themes and ask whether women truly make better leaders, all while embracing the strength and independence that define our time.
