Ladies Don't Complain. They Just Count Their Blessings.

From That's Not Very Ladylike · 16:24

Show by Tracey Willingham

This week I’m taking you back to the holiday season I spent between jobs. I had just walked away from a toxic job, money was tight, it took three months to get hired again, and every holiday ad felt like a personal attack. We get into why be grateful almost always shows up right when a woman says something is wrong, how smiling through hard feelings was a job description before it was a holiday tradition, and why low moods in perimenopause get gratitude-d away. And we get into the hardest part: giving up at least for one week, and saying the true thing at the table: this year was hard, and I’m grateful you’re here.Mentioned in this episode:The Managed Heart: Commercialization of Human Feeling by sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0520272943More on emotional labor: Ladies Don't Question the Cost of Emotional Labor.
