The closer we can get to ourselves, the more we can be in our bodies and let all of those bad feelings come up and recognize that they are part of our wholeness and part of our humanity and essential information and beautiful in and of themselves, to want things, to have desires, to have appetites.
Do you ever feel the weight of trying to be the perfect mother, daughter, employee, or partner? Molly Carroll tackles this all-too-familiar struggle in a heartfelt conversation with Elise Loehnen, a New York Times bestselling author and host of the podcast 'Pulling the Thread'. In this episode of 'Cracking Open', Elise discusses her book 'On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good'.
Inspired by a conversation with celebrity therapist Lori Gottlieb, Elise explores how societal expectations and the quest for 'goodness' affect women's lives. She dives into how emotions like envy can reveal our true desires and how confronting other so-called 'sins' like lust, anger, and pride can lead to a more balanced life. Elise's insights are not just thought-provoking but also practical, offering a new perspective on embracing one's authentic self amidst cultural pressures.
If you've ever felt the burden of perfection, this episode promises to be a revealing and liberating listen.
