Welcome to the sixth episode of the Woman Uncaged Podcast with Laura Gates-Lupton and Linda Katz! In this episode we delve into where our power to dream and positively imagine has gone. Some of the questions and topics we explore include:
- How our imaginations have atrophied except in cases of planning for the worst possible outcome?
- Is a pessimist the same thing as a realist?
- Why are we great in crises, but anxious when things are good?
- Where has our capacity for positive imagination gone and what has contributed to its decline? We explore patriarchy, capitalism, vulnerability, conditioning and more!
- How women have more barriers to dreaming in a patriarchal society and how that often begins around puberty
Two books we talked about:
Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers
The Perfectionist's Guide to Losing Control by Katherine Morgan Schafler
