In this episode, New York Times bestselling author Elise Loehnen discusses her book On Our Best Behavior, which is about the seven deadly sins and their impact on women’s lives and roles in society. She also shares how women are often conditioned to disconnect from their bodies and emotions due to societal and cultural pressures and how health coaches can help them reconnect with their desires, boundaries, and suppressed feelings.
In this episode, we talk about:
The inspiration behind Elise’s book On Our Best Behavior
How writing the book helped Elise with her personal transformation and how it impacted her well-being and relationships
The need for collective work to recognize unhealthy language and behaviors toward women
Elise’s journey toward self-definition away from cultural and social expectations
How can people reconcile their faith with the empowerment and reevaluation of women’s roles in society
The role of health coaches in helping women reconnect with their desires, suppressed feelings, etc
The concept of envy and how it is reframed in a positive way in the book
Memorable Quotes
“It’s really difficult to liberate yourself from these ideas of what it is to be a good woman and stand alone, because you’ll be vilified and continually sort of painted as a bad person.”
“If patriarchy were so natural, we wouldn’t chafe against it.”
“We women, through trauma, self-hate, etc., are generally totally disembodied... So the most loving thing a health coach can do is to get women re-embodied and re-in touch with our appetites, our desires, our boundaries, our suppressed and repressed emotions.”
