Take a wild journey with Winter Blazze & Violet Cruz as they hash out the expectations of women. They open doors to the understanding of explosive negative feelings when expectations are not meet or when they are expected to meet them. It’s time that we express our truths with confidence.
We are expected to take on everyone's emotions and sometimes that is just too damn much. Not to be mistaken with burnout, you've probably experienced compassion fatigue already. #amazonians #wisdomtalks #compassion #amazoniantalk
We've heard more and more about gaslighting, but many of us don't know what it is and what it looks like. You could be the one doing it or someone doing it to you. Lets have a teachable moment. #gaslighting #amazonians #wisdomtalks #kickbackconvo Join us on every Mon at 11AM CST on the Wisdom app for our live talks about the previous episode
Okay, we all have expectations of when someone should respond to you. Whether it's during a conversation or by text. Sometimes using the phrase, “I need time to process” isn't going to cut it. #amazoniantalk #podcasts #toomuch #wisdomtalks Join us every Monday for the live talks on the Wisdom App at 11AM CST!

Why do people EXPECT others to be okay with constantly crossing someone's boundaries and then get shocked when that person says or shows there're done? Stop putting your head in the ground. Join us on Mondays for the live #kickbackconvo @11CST on the Wisdomapp!
It's expected that women tend to be the better communicators. And while there may be some truth to it, there has to be a willingness to listen to understand, instead of trying to be right or dominating. On BOTH sides. #languagebarrier #amazonians #wisdomtalks #kickbackconvo Join the ladies on the live talk, Widsom app 11AM CST this monday *** We do not claim and rights to the song referenced in this episode"

The expectation of women having to have it all together ALL the time is the reason why they always feel so lost. Focusing on so many things at a time, they begin to lose themselves year after year. It's never too late to wake up and notice you're missing pieces of you that you once knew were there! #imhere #wisdomtalks #kickbackconvos Don't forget to submit the Amazonian Phrase and join us on the wisdom app every Mon @11AM CST for the live recaps ***We do not own or claim to own the rights to the music clip used by India Arie***

Ladies, we got rolls, FUPAS and much more. Why are we expected to not have them, especially after childbirth or the massive amount of stress we are under on a daily bases? Let's talk about vanity sizing too.... #stress #anxiety
Should you have more than one checking account and does your spouse need to know about it? #stash #checkingaccounts
We have accepted being the butt of the joke, but why? We are mimicked and constantly impersonated as mothers. We are expected to keep accepting it because it's "funny". Well not anymore...really. #notfunny
Let's look at what our “better half” really means. It's not our significant other. It truly is a part of you that YOU haven't discovered yet. #wisdomapp Stop expecting your mate to be your better half.
Just a fun episode exploring a few expectations of gender roles when it comes to building items.
Friendships are a challenge, especially when you get older. Most times we expect many things out of friends and sometimes we feel what you give is not reciprocated.
Most times we are trying not to rock the boat in many of the relationships we have, but in reality, we are really acquiescing to things. "Acquiesce" To assent tacitly; submit or comply silently or without protest; agree; consent:
Setting boundaries is healthy and NOT selfish. Something as simple as saying "No" when someone asks you "Can I ask a question?" and then proceeds to ask it anyway before you answer. Take it literally and say "No" if you don't want to answer the question at the moment. IT IS OKAY! Why are we expected to be at everyone's beck and call even when it comes to answering questions?
More times than not, mommas are the disciplinarians and there are some negative emotions that come from being the one who has to be in control of all the No's thus making them look like the "bad guy" the majority of the time.
More times than not, black women are called "Aggressive" when sporting confidence and poise. They are often expected to dim their light and keep their head down. Women in general who are highly educated and then some, get smacked with similar negative labels and expectations.
We are not too old for some game therapy...are we? We think NOT! Sometimes our escapism is playing games, and there is nothing wrong with that. #Amazonians #gametherapy #escapism We'll see you guys in the next season. Thanks so much for supporting us!
2021 is over and now some of us still feel iffy about 2022 even though it just began. There are some things these #Amazonians still have to get off their chest. Someone can only keep helping you so much and when they stop…don't start complaining about everything thing they tried to help you with. #notourproblem
Now, this expectation is for the ones who can't hear when you're standing 5 feet from a person speaking to you, but know their whole phone call conversation. #nosy
Are you that person that leaves pieces of toilet paper on the floor or anything else of that matter around the house and walks right past it? We're sorry to announce that you are one of those people that practice "Willful Neglect". #pickitup
We cook and clean and do everything in between. Sometimes we just don't want to do more! Perfection is not a specialty.
Are you a bad mom? Let's put some BAD MOM expectations into perspective...shall we?
Grocery shopping and gas are a pain in the a** now. Given the current inflation, do you realize if you got a 4% raise and inflation increased by 6% that you are still spending more money? #Amazonians let's find some savvy ways to ease this financial reality.
We think sometimes we have an expectation that nothing can ever go wrong in the bedroom. An elbow to the nose or a slip in the shower with a head slamming to the side of the bathtub....#sexfails #moodkiller
RBF aka Resting B*tch face is a term that has been around. But it has more of a meaning than you think...
We run here and we run there! Everything isn't always for Sh*ts and Giggles...
We do more lying to ourselves than we think. When's the last time you looked in your closet or drawers and said to yourself "one day" to an outfit you were so cute/sexy in but wore 5+ or 10+ years ago?
Do you have a naughty piercing or what's now called a "tramp stamp"? All the women who ever got a tattoo in the area where this is now deemed for some reason, terrible, are expected to feel guilty. Cut that ish out!
LAST BONUS! It's a first. We invited 3 men on the show at a time to give their opinion on how they would SURVIVE different "elements" of situations and relationships. #Amazonians, you know what we're talking about. How well do you think your significant other will do in an apocalyptic situation or if they were left to some house duties while you were out?
Winter and Violet are back at it again with their annoyances; one of them being paying taxes on already taxed items. Government double dipping?
A bonus to you #Amazonians. Nicole Simmons gives you her insight into working in the entertainment industry and what it demands at times as an independent filmmaker. How do you feel about reality TV and the way it represents women?
Another expectation of women is also managing all the bills. Sometimes autopay isn't that beneficial, despite merchants trying to push this as a "feature".
We are digging a little bit deeper on this one with our next guest. How do you feel about women proposing to men, how often do you think women take advantage of men? Sexual dominance? Is it a thing? #genderoles
Our fellow #amazonianallies have more to say than just sitting on the sidelines. We have brought on a guest for Ch. 1 and for next week Ch. 2 to get some opposite opinions to share with you #amazonians. You have to listen with more than just your ears...
They're BACK! Season 3 is finally here. Winter and Violet have more great things to offer you. Let us know #amazonians if you feel like being bold after this episode! Don't forget to become a Patreon member.
With all the smart devices and automation we have, stop working so damn hard in your house. Let it start working for you! Automation is easier than you think.
Well we talk about moms of humans all the time. Why not take a break and talk about parents of 4 legged babies.
Now Amazonians..... many of us would just like the history of gender roles to be switched from time to time OR just plain forgotten actually. WHY are these gender rolls still being expected from us today???
This one is a little tough. Today we can't expect everyone to be or react a certain way when it comes to racism. As children, in many generations, they sang and danced to racist rhymes. They didn't know at the then and everything was innocent because during that time it was for entertainment...or was it???
Listen up #Amazonians! We have to stop comparing ourselves to others and allowing those expectations to guide us. We get it...its easier said than done because of society's standards. Lets work on being worthy in our eyes first.
Whoa! Is your phone your new significant other? Don't expect us to be all calm, cool, and collected, when you have spent the majority of your time with something else.
The lies we are expected to navigate and how WE (yes us women) are actually Santa and Mrs. Claus.
The expectation of keeping up with the Kardashian's or any social media or print models is beyond outdated. It's a nice pivot to focus on self-care and embracements...don't you think #Amazonian?
Assumptions, Assumptions, and more Assumptions. Are you expected to pick up where someone else left off?
We talked about the guys last week, it's only fair we talk about us this week and the Panty Monster. All of us have one, if you think you don't, you have one now for sure!
No true expectation for this one, other than why did us women didn't know adjustments happened on a daily basis. Men... our Amazonian Allies, this one is for you. We must know....what is going on down there? #babypowder #cornstarch
It's interesting how men expect there to be only 3 things we do for the vagina AKA the Pink Garden. There's definitely a lot more women have to consider and "take care of" besides keeping her clean, giving birth and sex. Sources: New Dimensions in Women's Health 3rd Edition
