The Voice That Holds You Hostage
Have you ever found yourself sobbing under your desk, feeling like a failure despite outward success? You're not alone. Millions of women live with a relentless inner Voice constantly berating them about their competence, body, relationships, and worth. This Voice isn't random-it's the result of patriarchal programming that teaches women their value depends on appearance, others' opinions, achievements, and universal approval. This creates what Kara Loewentheil calls the "Brain Gap"-the disconnect between what we consciously believe (like feminist principles) and what we unconsciously feel (deep insecurity). Our brains begin life like empty pages, absorbing information from everyone around us through both explicit messages and implicit observations. While many learned thoughts help us navigate life, we also absorb harmful societal biases without realizing it. What makes this particularly insidious is how these thoughts drive our emotions, which then determine our actions. Though we'd like to believe we're rational beings, our behavior is actually driven by our feelings, which are created by our often unconscious thoughts. Societal messages about women's worth are secretly setting the GPS for your brain, directing you away from where you actually want to go. When we question these thoughts, our brains resist through denial, anxiety, or avoidance. This resistance is normal-like a moat surrounding a castle of gold. Uncomfortable to wade through, but necessary to reach the treasure inside.
