She's So Emotional
Manage episode 447602806 series 3534140
In this episode of Frustrated and Exhausted, we’re unpacking the stereotypes around emotions in the workplace, especially the idea that women are “too emotional.”
Is it true that women are more emotional than men, or are we just expected to express emotions differently? I’ll share research that challenges these outdated beliefs and explore how these stereotypes impact women’s experiences and growth in professional settings.
We’ll also look at how organisations shape what’s “acceptable” when it comes to showing emotion, and I’ll share practical tips for navigating these unspoken rules.
This episode is all about finding ways to honour our emotions without letting workplace norms hold us back.
