That’s the goal. Leaving our comfort zone is scary, but it’s almost always worth it in the end.

Ayyy! Me too 😅

Thanks, appreciate it! Hope you're having a great day! 💪

Just don’t have it in me to give up. Even when I want to.

Appreciate that man! Glad to hear from you! Hope you and the family are doing well! 🖤

Haha! 🤣

I appreciate you sharing this with me. I can't imagine what the death of a child feels like. That said, I'm comforted that you have such a strong support system around you. I'm so sorry for your loss. Feel. Deel. Heal is such a great mantra to keep with you. Every day is a smaller step towards healing. 🖤

Are you implying feeling emotions is a female trait? Or maybe that being impacted by grief is not manly?

@@SoulSearchingLG feeling emotional is part of being human. Expressing emotions too freely can be a feminine trait. Man up and don't wear your emotions on your sleeves. The feminization of men is over

We'll just have to agree to disagree. Sharing emotions isn't a trait that belongs to either gender. Like women, men feel a wide range of emotions. Men are driven by testosterone while women are driven by estrogen, but at the end of the day they're still chemicals inside of our bodies that cause us to react emotionally. I'll never tell you (or anyone) how to feel. But I do hope that you broaden your mind to better understanding the benefits of being in touch with, processing, and sharing these things with those you trust around you.

@@SoulSearchingLG i know plenty of men in touch with their feelings... they're gay. If you're gay, that's fine but I've seen a man express his feelings to other men. That's what a wife is for

The women around me feel different than that. I’m not female, so all I can do is listen to their experiences and try to empathize in some way. The Girl Boss era is phenomenal, I’m all for more female empowerment…but you’re only seeing one side of the coin. Sure, men have been conditioned to “protect” women, but the flip side of that is that women need to be protected. Who do you believe they need to be protected from?

@SoulSearchingLG Did you even read what I typed? Cause you didn't respond to it. Lmao, You love the girl boss era? The problem with the girl boss era is it teaches women to behave like a narcissistic man. Only concerned with, money, status, and appearances. A good leader is an excellent servant, they live for their people, they would die for their people. They are not cold hearted, smug, self serving social climbers. Now if you retort(which you will) that women are being taught to be good leaders, you are a liar, a bad faith actor(which you are), and you have no business trying to present yourself as someone spreading wisdom(which you dont). Look at the language they use, they constantly use these words, women need to be in positions of power. Lol, if you ever here men trying to get into leadership talking about wanting to be in "positions of power", don't ever let those men control anything, that's not how leaders perceive the true burden of leadership. As for your question, who do women need to be protected from, cowardly, sleazy, con artist like you. That's who.

Your entire argument stems from the belief that a women preaching "girl boss" era teaches women to behave life narcissistic men. I disagree. Of course, anyone can act like an asshole...male or female...but a movement designed to help empower women comes from the place of equality not divisiveness. So alright, let's break this down a bit. First, saying the "girl boss" era makes women act narcissistic is painting with a broad brush. The whole "girl boss" thing is more about pushing back against a business world that's been mostly male-dominated. Sure, some might take it too far, but we can't lump everyone together. Now, on leadership: Absolutely, a leader should be all about their team - guiding them, supporting them, and even having their back. Leadership isn’t just about being in charge; it's about caring for the people you're leading. When women talk about wanting to be in "positions of power", it's not always about controlling everything. It's more about having a seat at the table, making decisions, and making sure everyone's voice is heard. Historically, guys have been the ones in those roles, so when women talk about power, it's in a different context. As for your understanding on leadership, we appear to agree. A good leader ALWAYS leads from a place of compassion, empathy, understanding, and strength. Leading with the sole intent of being "in power" doesn't fall to anyone other than assholes. And as I described above, anyone can be an asshole...male or female. Lastly, trust is big. We've got to listen to each other and keep the conversation respectful. Name-calling doesn't help anyone. You don't know me. You haven't attempted to get to know me. Yet, you call me a "cowardly, sleazy, con artist" out of the blue when I did nothing by respond to your initial comment with respect. it's super easy to to do in the landscape of today's internet. But I implore you to take your own advice, be a leader, and lead by example. And yeah...tough skin, can't take the heat get out the fire, or whatever other BS some people might feel still matters...but from me to you...be better. We might not always see eye to eye, but we can definitely learn from each chat we have. How's that sound?

@SoulSearchingLG So I'll be honest, I skimmed your reply a couple days ago, and I'm not gonna read it again, I just thought it would be fun to respond now that I have time. You said the girl boss era isn't about power, but it is about genuine leadership, a seat at the table so they can also make decisions? You said I can't generalize based off the few bad apples. While of course there are amazing women out there who should be taken very seriously, I struggle to see even one place, even one singular conversation being held in these female spaces that isn't revolving around gaining control(a seat at the table,lol), or about gaining control so they can give special privileges to certain demographics once they get there(lift up other voices,lol) quite literally that is the ENTIRE message. Just because you phrase it as seat at the table, and lift voices, doesn't mean that it negates the fact that, the seat means power position(which most of the time they don't even mask that language), and lift up other voices, means give systematic special privileges to people we women deem fit. Which inevitably means push down people we deem unfit. These are not the qualities or conversations that revolve around good leadership, I've never heard one single conversation about being held completely accountable for your people's stumbles, I've never heard one conversation about sacrifice for the greater good. There is no conversation out there about developing female leadership that is centered on building good leadership qualities, ALL the conversations are based off of attaining power, and subsequently using that power to put other people in power simply based off of their immutable characteristics (gender, race, sexuality). These are facts, the girl boss messaging is twisted, there is so so much it gets completely wrong. Let me ask you something, who creates life? Look around at every single person you see, who made them? Most definitely a woman, how is it empowering to not even acknowledge the most miraculous and awe inspiring thing a woman can do. To throw it in the waste basket, and pretend that the most powerful thing a woman can do is wear a pant suit and join middle management, lol. It's disgusting, it's the most successful psy op of all time. Women freaking create life, hence society protects them, they are in a very real way our greatest asset, and we ignore that. So they can social climb, and make money, so they can be a boss chick. Getting back to how I know you are a coward. Many reason, but I will stick to this, you are a follower, you ignore what is right in front of your face to follow the narrative(women oppressed, woe is me, oppression, oppression)because there is no sane person with a backbone who can ignore how twisted that narrative has become.

You’re beginning to feel far too black and white to have a constructive conversation with. The world isn’t all or nothing my friend…it just isn’t. You keep saying you “never” see this or you “never” see that, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t going on. I don’t know you, so I won’t pass judgement…but I get the impression that you might need to spend more time with women who care about workplace dynamics. I have been lead by female leaders both younger and older than me (I’m 36 by the way) who I would run through a wall for. They embody the strength and positivity of the “girl boss” movement. I doubt it was by choice or even that it was something they were intentionally doing, but they were lead to that spot by male and female leaders of their own. For half a decade I helped run my company’s (Fortune 500 company) internal leadership development program. I’ve had the opportunity to work with brand new employees as well as internal employees who wanted to work their way up the leadership ladder…and I just don’t see your viewpoint appearing all that often in actual practice. It’s what I did for a living for a long time. Now again, my small sample size isn’t the entire world…but my perspective of overwhelming positive for the intentions behind leadership development for both men and women. That said, we still (which was my initial point in my video) have a long way to go to curb the systematic disadvantage women have in the workplace becoming leaders. Also…stating ”these are facts” after an opinion doesn’t make that opinion a fact. I understand your viewpoint on this matter is subjective, but unless you’ve got some data to back up those claims…I’m reading a lot of opinion (from the both of us) and not much fact.

Absolutely agree!

Definitely one of my favorites!

I appreciate that man!! I hope you’re doing well and thank you so much for watching.

You're the best! I honestly feel like this is the right place and time for me to get back on this horse. More to come.

WOW! Crazy how both massive and extremely tiny life can feel at times. The thing I try to remember is that my own experience, while small in the grand scheme of things, is still worth everything to me. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Appreciate the love 💪🏾
