You did everything “right.” You got the job you worked hard for and found a partner that checks (some of) your boxes. You go to yoga, read all the self-help books, and even tried to have a 5a-9a before your 9a-5p. But you have nothing to show for it. You’re exhausted, burned out, anxious, depleted, and defeated. You’re at your breaking point. This isn’t what you expected life to feel like. It’s not you. It’s society. Women have been socially conditioned for - well, forever - to live up to ridiculous, contradictory expectations. These messages are implicit, but they teach us to be small, and prioritize others before ourselves.
