If you know, are, or care about a woman - read this ⬆️ ⬇️
I’ve recently become obsessed with the podcast (not *just* because I have my own dogfish story which I’ll tell another time!) and am currently inhaling the entire back catalogue.
Yesterday I listened to an episode (‘The Art School Stalker’) which struck a deeeeep nerve ‘cos any woman that listens to this episode will relate to the following sentiment:
“I felt really uncomfortable around him but he hadn’t actually done anything wrong, so I told myself I was overreacting.”
Raise your hand if you are a woman who has been in an uncomfortable situation with a man who, for no particular reason, gave you the heebie jeebies?
Keep your hand up if you stayed in that situation ‘cos you didn’t want to be rude, you felt like you were overrreacting, and you didn’t want to make him uncomfortable (GOD FORBID)?
I’ve done this about one million times and so has *every single woman I know*.
This podcast episode is mandatory listening, as is Gavin de Becker’s book ‘The Gift of Fear’ which is about the same thing - trusting your intuition (or your femtuition IYKYK) ‘cos it’s your greatest safety signal.
Trust me on this one 😮💨
