428: Is Feminism Making Dating Harder? (...

Monica Yates
About this episode

Modern feminism handed us independence — so why are so many women burned out, bitter, and battling in love? Ooooh this one’s spicy and honest — just the way you like it!! 😉😮‍💨🌶️ In this solo episode, Monica’s dismantling the hidden pressure behind the “strong woman” narrative and she’s inviting you into a juicier, softer, more supported way of being. It’s not about going backwards, ladies. It’s about coming home. (And no, you’re not crazy for craving more.)

 

INSIDE THE EPISODE:

 

🔥 The real reason love feels so hard right now (and it’s not because you're broken)

🔥 Why feminism gave us rights… but forgot to give us permission

🔥 The surprising ways “hyper-independence” is blocking your pleasure & polarity

🔥 Why women are more anxious, burnt out & disconnected than ever before

🔥 Why polarity isn’t about power games — it’s about coming home to your biology

🔥 How to stop emasculating men (even when you don’t mean to)

🔥 How your nervous system actually responds to masculine leadership (science, not fluff)

🔥 The real reason trusting men feels so hard — and what to do about it

🔥 Why it’s safe to stop proving your worth through doing, fixing, and micromanaging

🔥 The sneaky ways women micro-control in dating — and sabotage intimacy
