  • A Woman's Invisible Burden: Good Girl Image & Social Expectations
    Oct 2 2024

    Share Your Feedback & Love

    Have you ever wondered why most women tend to be people pleasers in their adult life???
    In this thought-provoking episode of “Crossroads and Conversations,” Geeti and Komal delve into the pervasive issue of the “Good Girl” image and the heavy social expectations placed on women. From a young age, girls are conditioned to fit into a narrow mold of being a good girl—the ones that share their possessions freely, don't say 'No", extend themselves to fit everyone's asks, feel shame about their femininity, and strive constantly to please family and society. Meanwhile, boys are encouraged to be ambitious, strong, and providers, leading to a stark contrast in upbringing.
    Geeti and Komal explore how these societal norms shape women into people pleasers and men into individuals who often lack sensitivity. They discuss the invisible burden of unpaid labor that women carry, the lack of recognition for their contributions, and the impact this has on their self-worth and purpose.
    Drawing from their own experiences and those of other women, they offer insights on how women can acknowledge their contributions, demand respect, and redefine their roles both inside and outside the home. This episode is a powerful call to action for women to embrace their worth and challenge the societal norms that have long constrained them.
    Tune in to hear Geeti and Komal’s candid conversation on breaking free from the “Good Girl” image and reclaiming their rightful place in society.

  • Episode 2: The Flawless Beauty Myth: A Woman's Perspective On Beauty Standards
    Sep 4 2024

    Share Your Feedback & Love

    Welcome back to another episode of Crossroads and Conversations! I’m Geeti, and as always, I’m joined by my best friend and co-host, Komal. Today, we’re diving deep into a topic that has shaped and, at times, burdened our lives: the relentless societal expectations for women to look perfect at every stage of life.

    From our teenage years, we’ve been bombarded with messages about having perfectly styled hair, acne-free skin, achieving the ideal height and fair complexion. As we grew older, the pressure only intensified—maintaining the “ideal” weight, and even the unrealistic expectation to remain ageless in our 60s. And let’s not forget the post-pregnancy pressure to snap back to a pre-baby body.

    In this episode, we’ll share our personal experiences growing up under these pressures and the profound impact it had on our self-worth and mental health. We’ll also discuss how these expectations are becoming even more stringent for the next generation, extending beyond women to boys and men as well.

    But it’s not all doom and gloom. We’ll explore actionable steps we can take to challenge and change these harmful standards. Together, we’ll uncover ways to embrace our authentic selves and empower others to do the same.

    So, grab your favorite cup of chai or coffee, settle in, and join us as we break the mold and redefine beauty on our own terms.
