After realizing the impact of internalized patriarchy (IP) on mom burnout, I have come up with a strategy to deal with it. Join me today as I share this burnout "hack" with you.
Here's what I know about internalized patriarchy:
It's internal, we cause it
Men, in general, don't suffer from it.
(Disclaimer: I'm not sure how gender identification plays into this so I am referring to men and women to keep this concept simple - but know I support all forms of gender associations).
Therefore, here is a hack ... find a man or person who does not suffer from internalized patriarchy (I have affectionately termed this person to be your IP partner) and when you find yourself experiencing IP -- pause -- and ask the other person what they would do in this situation. Bam! Now at least you see what's going on and you have some options to find a way out.
Join me for this episode of BMB where I run actual scenarios in my life by my chosen IP partner, my husband Walter, who shines a light on what he would do in each scenario.
IP is a massive cause of burnout. And I'm on a mission to conquer it! Join me!
