28. The Unspoken Realty of Women NOT Helping Women
Notes
🔥 Adrienne boldly reached out to Antonia after reading her Swaay article about women who do not support other women. 1:03
🧱 Antonia is an Experience Collector. Her choices in life and career were centered around having incredible experiences and building something new. 2:46
📣 We need to talk about hypocrisy: Women are being disloyal to other women, but it’s not often spoken about. 9:07
😡 What to do when you experience a ‘mean girl from highschool’ comment? 10:54
☝️ Having systemic support and practicing diplomatic responses to inappropriate comments at work is essential. 14:52
🤯 The reactions to Antonia’s article were huge, but all reactions were sent in private messages, as this is still taboo. 16:58
🙈 Women focus on talking about men holding them down, but do not apply the same standard to other women. 21:06
😇 Concept of kindness and custodianship vs the concept of the power of a pronoun. 25:11
⚖️ These days leaders have to be able to adapt to new concepts: bias for action, and balance towards thoughtfulness. 28:07
👱♀️ Learn from the youth, open up your social circle and let people inspire you by who they are. 32:52
