In this episode, we found ourselves delving into an unexpectedly deep conversation about what women crave in safe spaces. With many moments of raw honesty, this openness paved the way for us to explore the significance of validation and emotional security from a woman's viewpoint.We faced the question: What does emotional security look like in practical terms? Through our personal experiences and thoughtful discussions, we began to unravel the layers of emotional labor and societal expectations placed on women, especially black women. We ventured into the historical contexts that have shaped certain stereotypes, pondering how these perceptions influence women's ability to express vulnerability and seek support.This episode was a journey into understanding the complexities of gender dynamics and emotional well-being. With a commitment to continue this vital conversation in our next episode, we left our listeners with reflections to ponder: "Are we truly listening and providing the emotional security our partners need?"We're eager to further this enlightening exploration of validation, security, and the process of unlearning to relearn. How do we engage in these conversations in our own lives? And how can we better support the women around us to feel heard, validated, and secure?Stay tuned for next week’s episode, where we continue the conversation on creating safe spaces for women.Send us your questions and/or topic suggestions hereLike, share, follow and rate the podcast!
