Even in 2023, there are still gender stereotypes that exist when it comes to defining masculinity and femininity. As children, society seems to gear boys and girls towards certain colors, toys, activities that society has determined the norm for that gender. Then as we grow into adults, there are expectations that we act a particular way, dress a certain way, and like specific things based on our gender.

The truth is, that in every individual there are both masculine and feminine energies not determined by our gender and generally one is more dominate than the other. During this episode, Leslie and I we discuss some of the toxic gender stereotypes we believe that still exist today and each of our experiences exploring our masculine and feminine energies. We also discuss raising our children to embrace both their masculine and feminine energies in everything they do, whether it be the clothes they wear, the toys the play with, the activities they participate, and the feelings and emotions they experience.
