Thank you for this video and for speaking on the issue of overwhelm. The drive towards always being productive and extraordinary puts undue pressure on many people sadly. But for women it creates an additional issue in that it forces the necessity for masculine rhythms of working and a masculine mindset to inhabit the traditional traits for success. As a Wife and Mum works full time I find it incredibly hard to transition out of my masculine and into my feminine at the end of the work day. This has been detrimental to my marriage as I try to take charge and lead at home. Additionally, my focus on my family and not striving for promotion puzzles my work colleagues and superiors as I am a prime candidate and poster child for women's advancement!!! Although many people talk about work life balance - what I've realised is that it isn't about balance it is about priorities. And for me, a shift was needed from career woman to Daughter of God, Wife and Mum and then (further down the line) work. I'm praying for you that you find peace ❤
It does! Your point about masculine rhythms of working is so true. Lol- my manager has come to accept that I think but I still remember her look of surprise when I told her I do not want to become a director. So true!! Without realising it I swapped chasing career success for chasing success here on the Internet with content creating- pointless/meaningless as it's the same thing as thr end of the day. I cut that bit out of this video as I know most people do not create content so thought it wouldn't be relatable, but maybe I should talk about it anyway. Thanks for sharing, Debra- you know I resonate with what you're experiencing, xxx
