Sisterhood and Sexism: A Raw Dialogue on Tales of Recovery
I catch myself criticizing somebody else's freedom, owning their body, owning their beauty... It just breaks my heart, but it also opens it up, because I see the hope of opening up and what we're speaking out loud is allowing others to step into.
Have you ever felt the sting of sexism or the disconnect it fosters among women? In this heartfelt episode of Tales of Recovery, host Gris Alves welcomes back Mimi Young for an unfiltered conversation about the ways sexism impacts women on personal and cultural levels. They dive deep into their own experiences, revealing how these ingrained systems create competition and insecurity among women, often leading to betrayal from those closest to us—mothers, grandmothers, and peers.
But it’s not all doom and gloom; they also explore the path to reclaiming sisterhood, trust, and mutual encouragement. The duo doesn’t shy away from controversial topics, including the influence of abrahamic religions on sexism and the internal policing that women often impose on each other. Through their candid discussion, Gris and Mimi shed light on the necessity of breaking free from societal and familial constraints to truly own oneself and one's reality.
This episode is a powerful reminder that healing begins with speaking out and supporting one another. Tune in for a conversation that promises to be as enlightening as it is empowering.
