Classic Disney villains aren't just baddies with red nails, colourful eyeshadows, and arched eyebrows, they're a goldmine of information. Just like its Hidden Mickeys, Disney left some hidden messages about patriarchy, female power, and self-actualization among its baddie villains.

🎙️ About the podcast: The patriarchy is starting to crumble, but sadly it probably won't be fully dismantled in our lifetime. In this podcast, I help women exploit the system's loopholes while finding the hidden ways the patriarchy conditions us to leak our power. Because guess what? Power isn't given, it's either taken or created. And it's time to take back the power the patriarchy stole from us.

Welcome to the first episode of Machiavelli vs Patriarchy. In this series, I decode The Prince, one of the most controversial texts in history, to help women flip the patriarchy on its head.

In this episode, I discuss the Machiavellian strategy of why we should never build up another person and apply it to relationship dynamics with men.

First things first, make sure to watch until the VERY END of the episode...you'll know what I mean.

Second of all, the benefit of the doubt is a way we've normalized gaslighting ourselves. We dismiss our intuition, which patriarchy deems un-empirical and unreliable, and give people chances they don't deserve. Rinse and repeat until we get burned enough times that we finally stop.

Patriarchy fetishizes youth and disdains aging. On top of that, it also functions based on zero-sum thinking: that for you to succeed, someone else has to lose. Although these sound like a load of baloney, we're all mirroring these patriarchal mindsets.

That, in turn, keeps us in a debilitating cycle of nostalgia. We romanticize the past and become mentally stuck in a location we physically left.

In this episode, we’ll discuss:
The patriarchal mindsets engrained in us
4 things to unlearn so we stop romanticizing the past
How Charli XCX didn't let brat nostalgia dictate her career
7 effective behaviours of forward-looking people

The past is dead, the future is unborn, and the only thing alive is the present.

✨ Hope you love it and can use this law to make your dreams come true. You are the baddest bitch in the building.

Love, Neeki

No self-improvement journey is complete without unlearning our internalized patriarchy. This doesn't only manifest itself as macro-level behaviours, like being a huge pick me. Some habits are so subtle, they're almost hidden within our subconscious...
