In this deeply thought-provoking episode of 42 Podcatcher, we sit down with Swati Jagdish to explore the profound disconnect between modern societal expectations and our natural biology.
We dive into the reality of human energy, discussing why the standard 9-to-5 hustle culture—which is built around a male 24-hour testosterone cycle—is leading to severe burnout for women who naturally operate on a 28-day hormonal cycle.
Swati also brings her psychological expertise to navigate some of today’s most complex and sensitive issues. We discuss the overwhelming confusion of puberty, the growing reality of the de-transitioner community, and the gravity of allowing irreversible medical procedures, such as double mastectomies, for 13- and 14-year-olds. The conversation also unpacks the unique struggles young men face today, examining what they are taught about "machoism," cliché romance, and society's absolute inability to handle romantic rejection gracefully.
Ultimately, this episode is a guide to unlearning the external noise and expectations placed upon us. While your brain can easily be confused by societal pressures, your body will never lie.
Tune in to discover how to balance the masculine and feminine energies within you, practice somatic awareness, and finally start listening to what your body is trying to tell you.
