The podcast talks about why no one under 60 years old should write relationship advice columns, the dangers of the "you deserve it all" ideology and the biggest challenges women face in their careers.
The podcast explores how gender stereotypes can affect relationships and where people typically turn to for advice. The host examines how personal experience and societal norms shape how advice is received and given.
The speaker discusses the challenge that comes with constantly seeking approval or pleasing male authority figures in her life, such as her father or boyfriend, and how it affects her ability to be true to herself and have open communication with them.
The more one pulls away from being a mindless consumer, the more one might notice that they use consuming culture as a stress relief and to distract themselves from their real problems. This may be more common in women than in men due to societal pressures and expectations.
The concept of not settling in relationships can be damaging, as it can lead to wasting time waiting for the perfect person and equating self-worth with finding a flawless partner. Getting advice from older and experienced couples may be more beneficial than consulting mainstream media on relationships.
The speaker discusses how women tend to fill their time when not in relationships with friends or sex, and how many women fail to ask for what they want both in their personal and professional lives.
Sometimes we put labels on ourselves and others that don't necessarily align with who we really are as people. It's important to tune into your gut and be true to yourself rather than conforming to societal expectations.
A woman discusses the challenges of deciding when to have children and the societal pressures and expectations that come with it, from potentially being seen as problematic or demanding to the struggle of wanting a child but also needing to maintain employment.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of not losing touch with your friends as you age, especially for men who might think that their friends with kids can't hang out anymore. He encourages people to not count anyone out automatically, and to make an effort to stay in touch and maintain friendships.
Host interviews political figures, comedians, and adult performers, providing personal advice and discussing topics such as cancel culture.
