🎙️ Season 2, Episode 7: When Did You Realize It’s A Man’s World?

The wake-up calls that changed everything we thought we knew

💬 Episode Overview

In this deeply personal and powerful conversation, the moms trace the moments — big and small — when the illusion cracked and they realized the world wasn’t built for women to succeed. From pregnancy discrimination at work to classrooms without female role models, from internalized misogyny to the quiet ways patriarchy teaches women to shrink, this episode is about awakening. Cristina, Tiffany, and Jamie reflect on how sexism shows up across childhood, education, careers, relationships, and culture — and how once you see it, you can’t unsee it. More importantly, they explore what comes next: unlearning, calling it out, raising the next generation differently, and continuing the conversation as an act of resistance.
