An Honest Conversation on Violence Against Women in Entertainment and Setting Boundaries with Ava EP7

Midlife Muse: Things Your Mother Never Told You

Are you seeking to achieve deeper intimacy and understanding in your relationships? Do you want to truly connect with your loved ones on critical societal issues? If so, you're in the right place. We dive into the heart of complex relationships and societal perceptions to spark a more profound understanding of how the media we consume affects how we show up in life.

In this special episode, I sit down with my daughter, Ava, to explore the often uncomfortable yet crucial conversations about violence against women in entertainment and the importance of setting boundaries. You may not have even noticed the on-screen violence, as we as a society have been so conditioned that it is okay to see women being raped and beaten. But once the veil has been lifted, you will see women's current male-depicted role in most media.

Have you ever felt uneasy about your partner’s media choices but didn't know how to address it? You’re not alone. Many of us have been told to let it go, not rock the boat, or that it’s not a big deal. But the pain of suppressing your truth and seeing no change in your relationship will lead to unhappiness.

Ava shares her discomfort with a popular TV show, Game of Thrones, the portrayal of women, and how she opened a conversation with her boyfriend about his TV choices. This discussion opens a deeper conversation about media influence, relationship dynamics, and societal norms. We offer a fresh perspective on approaching sensitive topics and setting healthy boundaries.

This raw and honest episode dives into the intricate layers of relationships and societal issues. Together, we'll explore the power of meaningful conversations and media and discover their profound impact on our lives and relationships.

Join us on this journey towards greater connection and understanding.
