In today's episode Devin and Morgan discuss the textbook definition of femininity, because there seems to be a discrepancy amongst society. According to Oxford dictionary femininity is defined as [uncountable] the fact of being a woman, the qualities that are considered to be typical of women. So unlike the presentation social media and society highlights, femininity is not something one can increase through daily meditations, affirmations, training, or tips. Femininity is not something you increase, because Oxford tells us it is not quantifiable. Tune in to hear the journey these ladies went through to learn how to embrace their femininity!SHOP OUR NEW FALL MERCH: https://www.dontbepressedpodcast.com/ Check out a related episode: Can Men Wear a Purse: https://dontbepressed.buzzsprout.com/339854/5615764-4-2020-fashion-trends-can-men-wear-a-purse Episode of Talkin' Sports Like a Girl: https://youtu.be/24h7HuybiKk SUBSCRIBE! Don't Be Pressed: Where we cover PRESSING topics from the point of view of 2 Black girlsLearn more about us on our website:  www.dontbepressedpodcast.comPodcast Link: https://dontbepressed.buzzsprout.com/Listen on the go!

Humans can literally be afraid, have fear, be scared or nervous about so many things but in this episode we tackled fear of business failure.
