How do the patriarchal systems we grew up in as women shape who we are today? Do we see differences in how they affected us, even though we come from different cultures and backgrounds?

In this episode, Doreen and Jey sit down to discuss how many of their experiences as girls and women are shared, despite growing up in different parts of the world. They talk about what was expected of them while growing up, what “being a good girl” meant in their families, and the different ways boys and girls were raised.

Together, they explore cultural similarities and differences, reflect on the experiences they have in common, and examine how these expectations and social norms have shaped their understanding of womanhood. Through personal stories and honest conversation, they ask what it means to challenge these narratives and define womanhood on their own terms.
