What makes something "frivolous,” vs worthy or deserving of your attention and enjoyment? Internalized misogyny that can come to play with how we perceive Taylor Swift, romantic comedies, and more.The perceived validity and worthiness of more "serious" content vs women being allowed to have fun and put themselves first.Questions to explore to overcome feelings of embarrassment and shame about your (or other people's) "guilty pleasures," and the freedom and liberation of allowing more frivolity and personal enjoyment, regardless of how "silly" a thing may be perceived.(This episode contains swearing between 6:45 - 7:02)
