Episode 64:Embracing the Unknown: Nomadic life and our Dom/sub dynamic Welcome back, Devoted ones! We recorded this episode about three weeks after leaving home to become full time nomads, living on the road in our RV and traveling the country. This nomadic life is something we've looked forward to for many years, but the actual process of leaving the only place Dawn has ever called home has been an intense one, to say the least. Up until now, she's never lived more than 20 minutes from the place where she grew up, and there are many generations before her who have almost all stayed very close to home. So this uprooting was an even bigger deal than either of us could have anticipated. This episode discusses what some of that process has been like for her, and how our Dom/sub dynamic has given her the space to let go of what was, so that she can embrace more of herself. We lean pretty heavily into the concepts from Don Miguel Ruiz's book “The Four Agreements” in this discussion, and if you haven't read it, we highly recommend it!

Baeth Davis identifies three key emotional challenges faced by women today: disappointment, rage, and faking contentment. How do these challenges manifest in daily life, and what strategies can help address them? Why do you think individuals might hold onto disappointment, and what can be done to break this cycle? How do societal pressures impact mental health and self-worth, especially among women? How can we as a community foster an environment that celebrates individuality and diversity? The cultural repression of women's rage is highlighted as a significant issue. What are the implications of this repression, and how can women be encouraged to express their emotions in a healthy way? What are some practical ways communities can support emotional healing and growth? How do societal norms around men and women's emotional expressions affect interpersonal relationships, and what can be done to create a more balanced emotional landscape for both genders? How can the integration of cultural and historical understandings of gender roles enhance business practices? What are some real-life examples of individuals or businesses that have successfully done this, and what can we learn from their journeys?   Connect with Baeth Davis Baeth's website Baeth Davis on LinkedIn Baeth Davis on YouTube Baeth Davis on Instagram Resources Special link for the Wickedly Smart Women community: The Career & Life Fulfillment Quiz Apply to Qualify for Enrollment in the Wickedly Smart Women's Start Smart 30 Day Intensive™ Connect with Anjel B.
