In this episode of The Sacred Speaks, host Dr. John W. Price sits down with Elise Loehnen—writer, researcher, and author of On Our Best Behavior, a book that explores how the ancient moral framework of the seven deadly sins has been internalized by women, shaping their identities, relationships, and sense of worth. This conversation is not just a review—it's a ritual inquiry. Together, John and Elise explore: The invisible “scripts” that define femininity in a patriarchal culture; How envy, pride, sloth, and other so-called “sins” reveal deeper spiritual truths; What Elise risked—and learned—by stepping out from her “invisibility cloak”; How patriarchal systems harm men as well, and the cost of emotional suppression; How men and women can co-create a future rooted in collaboration, not competition The role of grief, longing, and sacred agency in personal and cultural awakening; Elise also shares behind-the-scenes insight into her writing process, her podcast Pulling the Thread, and her evolving work around binaries, individuation, and collective healing. This episode is part of a broader arc on The Sacred Speaks focused on rebalancing the masculine and feminine within us and in our culture.

Chapter 1 What's On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen"On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good" by Elise Loehnen explores the complex relationship women have with societal expectations and the inherent pressures to conform to traditional ideals of goodness. Loehnen examines the seven deadly sins—pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust—arguing that while these traits are often viewed negatively, they can also serve as powerful expressions of strength and autonomy for women. Through a blend of personal anecdotes, cultural analysis, and historical research, she highlights how these societal norms shape women's identities and behaviors. Loehnen encourages readers to embrace their true selves, challenge conventional notions of virtue, and navigate the balance between being 'good' in a society that often restricts freedom and authenticity. Her provocative insights aim to empower women to reclaim their right to express desire, ambition, and individuality without fear of judgment.Chapter 2 On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen Summary"On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good" by Elise Loehnen explores the societal expectations placed on women and how these pressures can lead to detrimental effects on their lives, decisions, and well-being. The book delves into the concept of the Seven Deadly Sins—wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony—framing them not just as moral failings but as a reflection of the ways women's behavior is policed by culture. Key Themes and Insights: Cultural Expectations: Loehnen examines how women are conditioned to behave in ways that align with traditional notions of "goodness," often sacrificing their own needs and desires to meet these unrealistic standards. Freedom in Authenticity: The author argues that embracing so-called deadly sins can lead to personal freedom and authenticity. She encourages readers to redefine what it means to be "good" and to reject the guilt associated with desires and behaviors that go against societal norms. Intersectionality: The book highlights how race, class, and sexual orientation intersect with gender, complicating the experience of being a woman in today's world. Empowerment through Vulnerability: Loehnen shares personal anecdotes and stories from other women to illustrate the importance of vulnerability and the strength that comes from embracing imperfections and complexities in female identities. Actionable Steps: Throughout the narrative, she provides actionable steps for women to reclaim their power, encouraging them to be less concerned with being "nice" and more focused on being honest and true to themselves, thereby dismantling harmful societal expectations.

My whole life I have strived to be a “good girl.” But after this conversation with Elise Loehnen, I no longer want to be. You will learn... - the history behind the 7 deadly sins and how they've been weaponized by the patriarchy - who Mary Magdalene really was and how she got mislabeled as a prostitute - why thinness is the dominant beauty ideal in our current culture - the connection between PRIDE and ENVY - subtle ways women undermine each other Elise Loehnen is a writer, editor, and podcast host who lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Rob, and their two sons, Max and Sam. She is the host of Pulling the Thread, a podcast focused on pulling apart the stories we tell about who we are—and then putting those threads back together. Ultimately Elise is a seeker and synthesizer, braiding together wisdom traditions, cultural history, and a deep knowledge of healing modalities to unlock new ways to contextualize who we are and why we're here. She's also the author of the instant New York Times bestseller On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good (Dial Press/PRH). The book weaves together history, memoir, and cultural criticism to explore the ways patriarchy lands in the bodies of women and embeds itself in our consciousness—and what we then police in ourselves and in each other. Regardless of our religious provenance, the self-denial implicit in each of the Seven Deadly Sins—Sloth, Envy, Pride, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Anger—reads like a checklist of what it means to be a “good” woman. With awareness, we can begin to recognize these patterns of self-restriction, break the story, and move ourselves and each other toward freedom and balance.

This incredible book “weaves together history, memoir, and cultural criticism to explore the ways patriarchy lands in the bodies of women and embeds itself in our consciousness—and what we then police in ourselves and in each other”.  It is about the way we as women are programmed by culture and society to adhere to certain ideas about “goodness”. in many ways, women, from young are programmed to be on their best behavior, while men are programmed to be powerful, which affects all parts of a woman's life. 

I have the pleasure of speaking with Elise Loehnen, one of my favourite authors whose storytelling resonates deeply with me. We share a journey of realizing the toll of overwork, anxiety, and the pursuit of wellness as a cure-all, only to discover the transformative power of psychedelics.Elise's expertise in content creation was evident during her tenure as the chief content officer at goop, where she co-hosted The goop Podcast and The goop Lab on Netflix.

Do you ever feel like you have to be perfect? The perfect mother, daughter, employee, partner, etc?It's a familiar struggle that I have grappled with in my own life, and as a therapist, I've witnessed this innate desire to be perfect from thousands of women. That's how I first came across Elise Loehnen's bestselling book, On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good.  It is such an intriguing read and I am thrilled to have her on the Cracking Open podcast today.Elise is not only a New York Times bestselling author, but also the host of the podcast Pulling the Thread, where she interviews cultural luminaries about life's big questions. In our conversation, we talk through some of our own big questions like how she got the idea for her book after speaking with the celebrity therapist Lori Gottlieb on the Goop podcast. Ms. Gottlieb told her - pay attention to envy, it can show you what you want. Gottlieb's insight into using envy as a revealing emotion inspired Elise to explore the other six "deadly sins" —lust, anger, greed, gluttony, sloth, and pride—and their impact on women's lives. Not only did this exploration deeply influence millions of women's lives but her own as well."I'm the primary breadwinner. I've killed myself to succeed in life and be a good mother, partner, citizen, employee, and boss. And, you know, I was breathless, exhausted, and recognized that I was running a race with no finish line, that I was competing against a standard that I had not created and that would never give me any rewards that would mean anything to me." ~ Elise LoehnenBoy oh boy, can I relate! Maybe you can too?Join us as we delve into a wide range of topics, such as the Enneagram personality type system, Elise's affinity with spiritual figures such as Mary Magdalene (and how I feel that Elise is our modern-day Joan of Arc!). Elise was previously the chief content officer of the famous lifestyle brand goop. While there, she co-hosted The goop Podcast and The goop Lab on Netflix, and led the brand's content strategy and programming, including launching a magazine with Condé Nast and a book imprint. Before goop, she held roles as the editorial projects director of Conde Nast Traveler and editor at large and deputy editor of Lucky Magazine, where she also served as the on-air spokesperson, appearing regularly on shows like Today, E!, Good Morning America, and The Early Show. Elise is highly accomplished in her career and a staunch advocate for women's self-acceptance. She emphasizes that it's not about striving for perfection but rather about becoming aware of how cultural programming and ancient ideas of morality, such as the seven deadly sins, continue to control and distort women's lives today. Elise believes that trusting in our natural instincts can lead us back to a more balanced, peaceful, and spiritually fulfilling way of living.My conversation with Elise was a breath of fresh air. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.Love,MollyLearn more about Elise Loehnen hereJoin Elise's Substack herePurchase On Our Best Behavior hereListen to Pulling the Thread podcast hereFollow Elise on Instagram

Ever wonder what feminists mean by “the patriarchy?” It's presented as the boogeyman in our culture, but what is it really and where did it come from? If you've always assumed this is just the way the world has always been, but you're tired of being a “good girl” and instead crave being a whole, fully expressed woman, this episode is for you.   To unpack this concept, Eleanor is joined by Elise Loehnen, author of the New York Times Bestseller, On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. They're exploring its historical roots, how it manifests in modern women's lives, and the true cost of constantly playing by society's rules - rules that weren't built for women in the first place.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/ai41

I was doing my scroll of all of my favorite magazine's sites when I saw a headline on Vanity Fair that read “Elise Loehnen Would Like Mothers to Give Themselves a Break.” Now, look, I'm not even a mother, and even I get how much mothers giving themselves a break is necessary. I have so many friends that are moms, and even beyond mothers, just for women, in general, that pervasive guilt always seems to be so present—that we're never doing enough, or, perhaps even more catastrophically, that we ourselves aren't enough. That's why I wanted to release today's episode on the Friday before Mother's Day specifically—Elise is my guest on the show today, and her message is one all mothers and all women need to hear, and her book, On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good, is one all mothers and all women need to read. This isn't just a book—it's a masterclass, a manifesto, a book of a generation. Truly. On Our Best Behavior has one of the best frameworks I've ever seen for a book, one that uses the Seven Deadly Sins—ancient ideas of morality that still control and distort women's lives today—to reveal how these are rules we unwittingly follow in order to be considered “good,” and how we equate self-denial with being good. These unselfish, often distinctly feminine instincts are ingrained in us by a culture that reaps the benefits of it. The Seven Deadly Sins of pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth have exerted insidious power and have done so since their adoption in the fourth century up to the present day. Elise's book is at the same time very modern, tying everything to the present day, but also steeped in history—and, thankfully, it teaches us how to break free from the chains that bind us. The book is a New York Times bestseller and has been since its release in May 2023, a groundbreaking work that every woman and, really, every person needs to read. By the way, Elise taught me that the seven deadly sins were actually once eight sins. I really can't tell you how much this book impacted me, and how excited I am for you to read this book and hear this conversation. Closing out this incredible week on the show, we have Elise Loehnen herself, who is not just the writer of On Our Best Behavior but is also the host of the podcast “Pulling the Thread” and the Substack newsletter of the same name. Elise went to Yale and, interestingly, was a national championship mathlete finalist, which I deeply appreciate made the cut of her bio. She was a deputy editor at Lucky magazine (which we've talked about on the show before, in our episode with Jean Godfrey June), was editorial projects director at Conde Nast Traveler, and was chief content officer of Goop—where she hosted the Goop podcast and the Goop Lab series on Netflix and oversaw Goop magazine. She actually left Goop in 2020 to focus on this book. This is actually not Elise's first book, not by a long shot—she has worked as a ghostwriter on a ton of books in the areas of self-help, style, and business, and has worked with Ellen DeGeneres and Lea Michelle, for example. She's co-written 12 books, and five of those were New York Times bestsellers, which is incredible. On Our Best Behavior is her first book written under her own name and not ghostwritten. Elise is a frequent contributor to Oprah and has written for The New York Times, Elle Décor, Stylist, and more. She is a wife and a mother of two sons, and they live in L.A. I can't wait for you to meet her in this conversation.

The 90s were sick… like literally, sick. Here's what we mean: the popular body type of the day was being Kate Moss skinny. If you missed the 90s or just weren't old enough to remember Kate splashed across all the magazines, trust us, it was an unattainable look.  While it's easy to fall into feeling like we've come a long way since those days we want to face the truth: that the way women's bodies are treated, the messages we receive, and sometimes even the messages we SEND are still perpetuating the idea that being thin means being beautiful. This episode is alllllll about flipping the script (and perspective) surrounding our bodies and saying goodbye FOREVER to the word fat. This episode is for the struggling, the body conscious, the body positive, and the Moms who want to empower their daughters to view their bodies in a loving light.

Picture this: You go to the gym in your free time (LOL) and see a very athletic human maxing out because it's #LegDay. They've got a CRAZY amount of weight on their squat bar and yet they ask for more because, well, they think they can handle it. Now, imagine if all of that weight was to do lists, errands to run, events to get to, things to sign up for, after school activities, and more. That, my friends, is the mental load of motherhood. Today we've got a guest who is NOT all about maxing out when it comes to squatting your mental load as a mom but rather sharing that weight with your partner. Paige Connell is a working mom of 4 and content creator who brings awareness to the mental load of motherhood and advocates for equitable marriages. As if that isn't enough, she's also advocating for affordable childcare (preach!). She has been featured in Scary Mommy, The Today Show, Bloomberg and more! Paige helps mothers put words to their lived experiences so that they can strive for more equitable and happy relationships. The perfect pairing with #LegDay or everyday, this episode is one that speaks straight to the heart. Resources We Shared: Join our newsletter!

Thomas is joined by the author of the New York Times bestseller, On Our Best Behavior, and the host of the podcast “Pulling the Thread”, Elise Loehnen. They discuss what she calls the ‘cultural shadow' of women - the ideas and behaviors that women have been socialized and conditioned to reject - and how women can embrace their complicated totality instead of repressing their authentic selves. Elise's recent book examines women's social conditioning through the lens of the “seven deadly sins”. She and Thomas explore the trap of “goodness” for women and how the standards imposed on them lead to harmful repression, inequality, and resentment. Elise stresses that people of all genders are harmed by unfair standards that are propagated through social power structures, and posits that we can free ourselves from these constricting gender roles by reframing our thinking and integrating our shadows instead of projecting them onto others. ✨  Join Thomas for a free, live online event with Q&A - The Evolving Map for Trauma Healing

In this episode, New York Times bestselling author Elise Loehnen discusses her book On Our Best Behavior, which is about the seven deadly sins and their impact on women's lives and roles in society. She also shares how women are often conditioned to disconnect from their bodies and emotions due to societal and cultural pressures and how health coaches can help them reconnect with their desires, boundaries, and suppressed feelings.   In this episode, we talk about: The inspiration behind Elise's book On Our Best Behavior  How writing the book helped Elise with her personal transformation and how it impacted her well-being and relationships The need for collective work to recognize unhealthy language and behaviors toward women Elise's journey toward self-definition away from cultural and social expectations How can people reconcile their faith with the empowerment and reevaluation of women's roles in society The role of health coaches in helping women reconnect with their desires, suppressed feelings, etc The concept of envy and how it is reframed in a positive way in the book Memorable Quotes “It's really difficult to liberate yourself from these ideas of what it is to be a good woman and stand alone, because you'll be vilified and continually sort of painted as a bad person.” “If patriarchy were so natural, we wouldn't chafe against it.” “We women, through trauma, self-hate, etc., are generally totally disembodied... So the most loving thing a health coach can do is to get women re-embodied and re-in touch with our appetites, our desires, our boundaries, our suppressed and repressed emotions.”   BIO:  Elise Loehnen is a New York Times bestselling author and the host of the podcast, Pulling the Thread, where she interviews cultural luminaries about the big questions of today, including people like Jo Harjo, Loretta Ross, Pico Iyer, Dr. Gabor Maté, and Terry Real.

Hello beautiful souls! What if instead of reprimanding yourself for feeling envious, you allowed that emotion to show you what you truly want in life? What if you did that for all of the so-called “bad emotions" you have? The angels talk about this all the time in my sessions. How we're too worried about being "good" that we stop living authentically, and in some cases stop living at all. I asked Elise questions about all of my favorite parts of her book On Our Best Behavior to bring you every insight to help you challenge your own thinking. The truth is . . . The angels say you're "good" simply because you are and that they WANT you to start living more!

We are kicking off the year with a very enlightening conversation with Elise Loehnen, author of the New York Times bestseller On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. We discuss these seven “sins” and the (wrong) notion we've been fed that a “good woman” is not supposed to indulge them, and why it's so much easier to damage a woman's reputation than a man's.  We chat about embracing pride, using your envy to figure out what you want in life, owning your lustfulness, and why anger is a positive emotion. We also talk about the nonstop policing and judging of women's bodies, why we punish ourselves for being “gluttonous,”  and how we can learn to accept our bodies. There is so much ground covered, but above all –  the importance of women supporting each other in the name of world domination. Before Elise joins us, we're doing a quick Christmas/appetizer contest recap, sharing our goals for 2024, as well as some  from our audience, and announcing the official slogan for the year. Enjoy!

Most of us have heard of the seven deadly sins, but don't really know what they are, where they come from, or how they play into how women are expected to behave in our society. In this episode, I'm joined by Elise Loehnen, author of the New York Times best-seller, On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. Tune in as we discuss the seven deadly sins and their origins (including the eighth sin that was eliminated), cultural programming and the effect it has on our lives, what exactly the patriarchy is and how it came to be, and why envy can be a sign of what you truly want.    Get full show notes and more information here: https://unfuckyourbrain.com/319

In today's powerful episode I speak with Elise Loehnen, author of the bestselling book, On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to be Good. Elise is also the host of the Pulling the Thread Podcast, and prior to her podcast she was chief content officer of Goop. Today we're talking about the Gluttony chapter of Elise's book, and how it relates to the patriarchal system we live in. Elise starts by describing the origins of that system, which has come to define our worldview, whether we realize it or not. While it's started as a hierarchical dominance-based external system, it's become an internal system that we all perpetuate, often unconsciously. We explore how the system specifically plays into our relationship with food and our bodies. Elise describes how the “sin” of gluttony isn't about extreme over-indulgence but rather about our moralizing of food. It's a policing of what we eat and how our bodies look in order to conform and express our goodness. While we're deeply influenced by powers outside of us (think diet culture) we also perpetuate the system internally. We police OURSELVES in an effort to be “good,” and to feel like we have control. However, this need for control disconnects us from real pleasure and from our true selves. We talk about how to get out of this giant web of patriarchal conditioning to gain sovereignty for ourselves.I think you're going to learn SO MUCH from this episode and begin to see how you can reclaim your own power and your own pleasure this holiday season.

This is a channeled transmission of Yeshua, from Thursday, October 12, 2023.  This was part of an online study group for my book, ON OUR BEST BEHAVIOR. Originally, Carissa and I were planning this for August—three days of discussion, no Yeshua transmission—but then Carissa asked to push it to these dates in October, and told me that Yeshua wanted to do a transmission about beauty. Who am I to argue with Yeshua? And who, you might be wondering, is Yeshua? That was my question when I first met Carissa in January 2020. Yeshua is Jesus, or Christ Consciousness. Yeshua was Jesus's name in Aramaic. Carissa is a forensic medium—one of the finest I've ever encountered—and in December 2019, Yeshua pushed into her channel and she became a full-body medium, which means that he knocks out her consciousness and uses her body and voice to talk. It's strange, undeniably. If you've read Jesus's aphorisms or words in the New Testament, this is what you'll hear: As one friend said, Yeshua is like a rapper. There's word play, loop-de-loops, and so much wisdom, applicable to every single day. Sometimes he talks about history—his parents, Jewish law, the prophecies, Mary Magdalene. He was very much a Jew, which history likes to forget, though he frequently says that he came not to change Jewish law but to evolve it, to make it more accessible.  He talks about shadow directly, but always offers that shadow is space, waiting to be filled with light. Typically, he talks about shadow versus light as unrealized versus realized—realized being what we see with our “real eyes.”  He also talks a lot about the void. He talks about the Friday, when he was crucified, as the death day. Saturday is when you move from the tomb to the womb. And Sunday is the resurrection. We all do this all the time in our lives—when we die to relationships, jobs, beliefs. His point: You can't skip the Saturday, the Sabbath. You must accept the full cycle of life. You'll also hear mention of the vertical and the horizontal: The vertical is our access to divine, spirit, the universe, however you perceive energy. The horizontal is our daily lives. It's our job to spill the vertical into the horizontal. In my experience, Yeshua's words are always about breaking polarities and binaries—putting you in a position to re-examine what you've come to accept wholesale or believe. Because, interestingly, he's not at all interested in telling any of us what to believe. He wants instead to open our awareness and perception so that we can love more deeply. He wants to give us new lenses through which to perceive the world, including the sacredness of both life and death. The transmission begins with Yeshua guiding a 20 minute meditation. Please do the meditation, and not while you're driving. Transmissions are mental exercises, certainly—I take pages and pages of notes—but often they can be a full-body experience, so listen with your feet on the ground. One note from Carissa: “The Transmission is the copyrighted intellectual property of Sacred Spirit Illumination and not to be reproduced or used, in part or sum, without permission. However, folks are of course welcome to share the link to the Pulling the Thread podcast with any and all people. We welcome and honor discussion surrounding this important Transmission.” MORE FROM CARISSA SCHUMACHER & YESHUA The Freedom Transmissions: A Pathway to Peace Carissa Schumacher's Website Carissa Schumacher Episode 1: “My Spiritual Teacher” Carissa Schumacher Episode 2: “Why Do We Suffer?” Carissa Schumacher Episode 3: “Understanding Spiritual Power” On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to be Good To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

The seven deadly sins, you know the list: pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. They aren't so much biblical as they are patriarchal, holding women to impossible standards in order to be considered "good" says Elise Loehnen. The constant pressure to 'be good" has very bad consequences for women. Loehnen is a writer, host of the podcast Pulling the Thread and spent seven years immersed in the wellness industry as the chief content officer at Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop company. She shares her own experience, balancing the light and dark sides of life and prioritizing wholeness over wellness in her book, Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good.

Zibby is joined by New York Times bestselling author Elise Loehnen to discuss On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good, a groundbreaking, stunning exploration of the ancient rules women unwittingly follow in order to be considered “good.” Elise explores how the deadly sins continue to circumscribe women's behavior, including her own (for example: a fear of gluttony drives women to ignore their appetites). She also talks about her fascinating research, her podcast, and her hopes for this book. Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/48r2y1xShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!

Elise Loehnen is a writer, editor, and podcast host of Pulling the Thread. Ultimately, Elise is a seeker and synthesizer, braiding together wisdom traditions, cultural history, and a deep knowledge of healing modalities to unlock new ways to contextualize who we are and why we're here. She's also the author of the instant New York Times bestseller On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. The book explores the ways patriarchy embeds itself in our consciousness. The Seven Deadly Sins—Sloth, Envy, Pride, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Anger—reads like a checklist of what it means to be a "good" woman and offers a path forward, moving ourselves and each other toward freedom and balance. Elise is a frequent contributor to Oprah and has written for The New York Times, Elle Decor, Stylist, and more. She has co-written 12 books, including five New York Times Best Sellers. Previously, she was the chief content officer of goop, and co-hosted The goop Podcast and The goop Lab on Netflix. Before goop, Elise was the editorial projects director of Condé Nast Traveler. Before Traveler, she was the editor at large and ultimately deputy editor of Lucky Magazine, appearing regularly on Today, E!, Good Morning America, and The Early Show. She has a B.A. from Yale. In this episode, Nada sits down with Elise to learn what prompted her to write On Our Best Behavior and to unpack how women have contorted themselves to find a place in history. Elise shares anecdotes about how modesty was prioritized and impacted her life. She discusses the importance of women showing up together and gives us context for why collectivism is essential. This cultural therapist (recently coined at a conference and an appropriate title for Elise) is at once a researcher, teacher, student, and friend. Her ability to clearly articulate our cultural condition gives wings to our unnamed inklings and fragmented thoughts. Elise is currently reading The Origin of Satan by Elaine Pagels, Morality by Jonathon Sack, and Integral Psychology by Ken Wilber. You can find additional recommendations at Bookshop, or Goodreads.

Steph interviews Elise Loehnen, the author of the instant New York Times bestseller On Our Best Behavior and host of  Pulling the Thread, a podcast focused on pulling apart the stories we tell about who we are—and then putting those threads back together. Steph and Elise discuss the ways patriarchy impacts how women see themselves and what they police in each other. They discuss how the seven deadly sins impacts moms. Elise shares how the fear of sloth, gluttony, and envy leads to burnout, lack of confidence, feeling guilty about rest, and our relationship with our bodies before,during, and after pregnancy. We begin to dismantle these negative beliefs and thought patterns to help moms feel more freedom and joy in motherhood. Topics Discussed: Ways we subconsciously hide parts of ourselves. How to lean into using your voice and saying what you mean. Ways social media impacts motherhood. How to break free of the belief that you're not doing enough. Navigating postpartum body image and envy.

She is the host of Pulling the Thread, a podcast focused on pulling apart the stories we tell about who we are—and then putting those threads back together.

She's also the author of the instant New York Times bestseller On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good (Dial Press/PRH). The book weaves together history, memoir, and cultural criticism to explore the ways patriarchy lands in the bodies of women and embeds itself in our consciousness—and what we then police in ourselves and in each other. Regardless of our religious provenance, the self-denial implicit in each of the Seven Deadly Sins—Sloth, Envy, Pride, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Anger—reads like a checklist of what it means to be a “good” woman. With awareness, we can begin to recognize these patterns of self-restriction, break the story, and move ourselves and each other toward freedom and balance.

As women, we can often feel pressure to always be “doing,” whether that's working, going to the gym, prepping a project, or just getting ready for the next day. Many of us also have a hard time sitting still, and we may even be perfectionists about some things. (Yes, the data shows that women are more likely to be perfectionists than men.) As the former Chief Content Officer at Goop — and Gwyneth Paltrow's second hire — Elise Loehnen knows this firsthand. In her new book, “On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to be Good” she breaks down all of the outward pressures that continue to hold women back. She shares how we can all break away from the societal notions of feeling like we have to be the “perfect” daughter, the “best” wife, or the “smartest” investor.

When Lisa and I first came across Elise Loehnen's most recent work, On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to be Good, we were taken by the many parallels between Elise's explanation of women's emotional repression and our own work with the TMS community. Elise has written a masterful book that deconstructs the many reasons that women struggle to be heard, both by others and themselves. The synergy between Elise's work and ours is profound. Join us as we chat all together (Lisa and I in our dual interviewing debut!) on how “Niceness”, “Compliance”, “People Pleasing”, “Conflict Avoidance”, and “Sublimated and Unprocessed Anger” are correlated with Cancer, ALS, autoimmune illnesses, and many more.

Should you stop being “good”?    According to the 7 deadly sins, a “good person” needs no rest, has no appetite, has no desires, puts themselves last, and is never upset.    NYT best-selling author Elise Loehnen says we spend most of our energy denying the needs and instincts that make us human - like our needs for love, connection, success, and rest.    It's hard to be “ok” when you've spent a lifetime denying your own needs. In this episode we cover:  How the 7 deadly sins morphed into a rulebook for everyday life Who does she think she is?!  Is the sin of greed keeping you from making friends? Why the most harmful thing you can do to a woman is destroy her reputation Why don't we allow men to be sad? (it's not what you think) The grief in how much time you've lost trying to be good   Looking for a creative exploration of grief?

Women generally hold themselves to certain standards that keep us seen as ‘good' in the eyes of society. We try to play safe and only exhibit certain ‘accepted' behaviors because of this. But why? Why do we hold ourselves to these standards and deprive ourselves of our essential wants, desires, and even dreams? Elise Loehnen helps us dig deeply into that today. She's the owner of the podcast Pulling The Thread, a podcast dedicated to pulling apart the stories we tell about who we are and putting them back together. She's also the former host of the Goop podcast and lives in Los Angeles with her husband and children. Elise helps us reconsider the origin of our desire to be seen as good, as girls and even as women. She challenges a number of long held beliefs, the historical context behind them, and whether it's still right to follow those structures. She also reveals how you can break free of these high and unreasonable standards and expectations set by society for you, and trust your natural instincts, so you can live a more balanced, peaceful and spiritual life. Listen in… Show Highlights Include: How women tend to be harder on women than men (and how it affects us negatively). (06:22). How you can flip your envy to a net positive and gain from it (instead of constantly simmering with jealousy). (14:32) The disparity between how society treats men vs. women (and how it's destructive). (17:34) The shocking origin of the seven deadly sins, and how it influenced our view of religion and the sexes today. (18:42) How we set high, unreasonable standards for what a good woman is for ourselves (and expect every other woman to live up to it). (29:07) The health effects of constantly denying yourself your essential needs and wants.

Elise Loehnan is the host of the Pulling the Thread podcast where she speaks with thinkers and healers about what it means to be human. She is also author of the book, On our Best Behavior: The 7 Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to be Good. In it, she looks at women's behavior through the lens of Judeo-Christian traditions that are culturally and genetically embedded in our consciousness and ultimately hold women back from equality and self-determination. Lots of deep questioning of what and why we do what we do, where systemic norms come from and how they are set up to control our bodies and our behavior.

What does it really mean to be a good person? Have you ever wondered why you consider one public figure to be “good” and another “bad”? Where those frameworks for so-called goodness came from? Turns out they date all the way back to the fourth century, as journalist Elise Loehnen found out while researching her new book “On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good.” Contrary to popular belief, the seven deadly sins — lust, greed, envy, sloth and the rest of the crew — weren't actually a Biblical decree from on high. Regardless of their proximity to God, the expectations set by the infamous sins have been holding women back ever since. So where do we draw the line between “good” and “good enough?” Elise and Nora discuss the origin of sins, why women bear the brunt of these expectations and how to reframe your view of “goodness.” Wanna read the book?

Welcome to the Revelation Project podcast, where we disrupt the trance of unworthiness to guide women to remember and reveal the truth of who we are. In this episode, my guest, Elise Loehnen, joins me to discuss her New York Times Best-Selling Book, On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins And The Price Women Pay To Be Good. A successful writer, editor, and host of the wildly popular Pulling the Thread podcast. Elise begins by sharing what led her to write this book- and her experience with chronic hyperventilation disorder, an anxiety disorder, and her challenge to get to the root of it. Elise discusses the symptoms, treatments and dissonance between her interior struggle and her outward demeanor of success. She reflects on the pressures she began to identify, which led her to the revelation that the underpinnings of her stress and striving were rooted in her unconscious allegiance to “good girl” programming. By revealing the systems of patriarchy and its complex impact on women, Elise delves into early Christianity and the subjugation of women throughout history. We touch on the origins and transformation of the Seven Deadly Sins, the elevation and vilification of Mary Magdalene, and how this impacts us even today. Throughout the episode, we weave in behaviors that hold us back as women such as jealousy and envy, and the role they play in women's lives. We also discuss the societal expectations placed on women and the need to free ourselves from external validation The conversation ends with a powerful message about embracing the feminine and reclaiming feminine values to create change in ourselves and in society. Topics Discussed: * The Origin of the Seven Deadly Sins * The “Boogyman of patriarchy” * Elise's experience with chronic hyperventilation disorder and getting to the root of it. * Exploring the pressures to be enough and the internal voices of self-doubt * Understanding the concept of patriarchy and its roots in early Christianity * The elevation and vilification of Mary Magdalene * Embracing the feminine and reclaiming feminine values * The importance of embracing curiosity and personal exploration ** Mentioned:** * Pulling the Thread podcast * Seven Deadly Sins * Mary Magdalene * Pope Gregory I * Lynn Twist Bio Elise Loehnen Fissmer is a writer, editor, and the host of the podcast, Pulling the Thread, living in Los Angeles with her husband, Rob, and their sons, Max and Sam.

Modern feminists talk a lot about “the patriarchy,” but what is it really? Where did it come from? How is internalized patriarchy showing up in and impacting modern women? And what's the true cost of women being on our best behavior in the name of enduring and thriving in a structure not meant for us?   Eleanor is discussing this with writer, editor, and podcast host, Elise Loehnen. Among many accolades, Elise is the author of instant New York Times bestseller, On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. Elise is sharing her thoughts on the policing women perpetuate onto themselves and other women, the price women pay to be good in our society, and how the more we discover who we are, the more women can be unleashed and unfurled in the world.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/ai11

Did you know I was actually fired from my first job? That's when I first learned I was "unemployable". Join us this week as we explore how my career goals have changed over the last 12 years, the evolution of my daily schedule, and how that has led to me spending so much of my time on my kids' activities.

We are delighted to welcome author Elise Loehnen to the pod today. Elise is the former chief content officer of GOOP and the host of the podcast Pulling the Thread. She is here to talk about her new book On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good. The seven deadly sins are likely not on your radar, but they are subversively controlling and distorting women's lives. They are pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, sloth, and anger, all qualities women deny within themselves in order to be “good.” Weaving together history, memoir, and cultural criticism, Elise's groundbreaking book masterfully reports on this cultural phenomenon and inspires us to untether ourselves from the grip of patriarchy and societal expectations. In this episode, Caitlin and Elise share personal stories about the pressure they feel to over-function and over-compensate as women, the profound ratcheting up of anger and rage they experience in motherhood, how envy can serve as a motivator to discover secret wants and dreams, and the reason why pride is so uncomfortable to feel. We highly recommend grabbing a copy of Elise's book. It will crack you open and help you reclaim the things you sacrifice in order to be a "good" mother, wife, partner, friend, daughter, human.  Connect with Elise: @eliseloehnen Order her book On Our Best Behavior here: www.EliseLoehnen.com The @bigtimeadulting podcast with Caitlin Murray is brought to you in part by a few of my favorite brands & affiliate partners: Knockaround Sunglasses (use code BIGTIMEADULTING for 15% OFF)  Perfect Bar  The best store in the world  The second best store

Why do women feel like we have to do it all?  I've always prided myself in keeping all the balls in the air at once. And I've tried to perfect doing it all– often without even flinching. But because of this, I'm burnt out. And the mental exhaustion is real.  So why is it that we feel like we have to wear so many hats to be recognized as successful women– whether it's in a career, family life, marriage, or all of the above?  I know I'm not the only one working overtime, all the time.  I carry the bulk of the household and caregiving responsibilities, on top of all my career work– every single day.  And the stats across the board back it up– women have higher rates of depression, anxiety, and autoimmunity. Our bodies as women take a beating, but we've been convinced to put others' needs before our own.  To change this mindset and help us recognize we don't need to be perfect at everything, I've invited expert Elise Loehnen on the show. She's here to explain how these impulses– often described as unselfish and distinctly feminine instincts– have actually been ingrained in us by society for a long time.  Elise helps us understand our innate need to be perfect as an aspect of being a woman and allows us to recognize how to adapt when we feel this need to do it all.  Elise recently wrote a book called On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to be Good. And if you've ever struggled with self-sacrifice, or feeling the need to be good, this book is for you.  Today's podcast is one you won't want to miss because Elise does a deep dive into the history of women's behavior– all the way up to the modern day, and discusses how society has created ideas in our brains of who and what we have to be. It's time to break this mold and live the way we as women deserve to. To feel empowered, patient with ourselves, and perfectly imperfect. So listen now to gain thoughtful insight and become the best version of yourself!

This week's interview is with Wendy Leigh, an insightful sex educator and intimacy coach who has made it her mission to help individuals claim ownership of their desires and strengthen their self-awareness. With a previous career in nonprofit leadership development and a personal journey of redefining her own sexuality, Wendy is uniquely positioned to guide clients through an exploration of their own sexual experiences and relationships. Her work encourages open dialogue, acceptance and understanding, promoting a more balanced and whole life for each individual and enabling them to forge authentic and meaningful connections with their partners and themselves. This is Wendy Leigh's story: When Wendy Leigh's marriage came to an end, she courageously decided to face life head-on and attend a transformative sensuality retreat. There, Wendy realized that she could take control of her own desires and prioritize her self-awareness, ultimately leading to a happier and more fulfilling life. Armed with her newfound knowledge, Wendy began sharing her experiences with others, helping them to embrace their own desires and strengths with confidence. Through her unyielding determination to be true to herself and empower others, Wendy Leigh proves that prioritizing one's self-awareness can lead to an incredible journey of growth and happiness. In this episode, you will be able to: Discover techniques for empowering oneself in midlife through sexual exploration. Learn the significance of embracing personal desires and making self-awareness a priority. Gain insights on addressing the societal stigma around sexuality and sensuality, especially for women. Understand Wendy Leigh's approach to enhancing self-awareness and aligning resources with goals. Uncover the specifics about Wendy's program, Seggscamp, and its role in educating and exploring human sexuality.   As Bree's friend Beatrix Ost says, "In Your Body is a Good Place to Be" Trusting one's body and acknowledging its wisdom is critical for cultivating a healthy relationship with one's sexuality and desires. This involves being mindful of past experiences that may have shaped present attitudes and beliefs, and learning to release any lingering shame and doubts. Wendy emphasizes the importance of understanding triggers, accepting the body as a safe place, and allowing oneself the freedom to explore and enjoy their sexuality fully. She contends that this process may be gradual and cannot be rushed but results in increased self-awareness, personal fulfillment, and a more profound sense of connection with oneself and others. The Importance of Role Models and Breaking Stigmas Societal stigmas surrounding midlife sexuality, particularly for women, can create significant barriers to self-awareness and exploration. Breaking down these stigmas and challenging societal norms are essential for fostering a healthier, more accepting attitude towards sexuality at any age. Wendy and Bree both stress the importance of dispelling these societal misconceptions and replacing them with positive role models and examples. By doing so, individuals can feel less isolated and more encouraged to explore their sexuality without fear of judgment or shame. Wendy's work as a sex educator aims to provide people with the support and resources needed to engage in such discussions and make informed decisions about their sexuality. One Step to Boost Libido and Confidence Taking small steps to improve one's self-esteem and libido can help individuals feel more confident and empowered in their sexuality. These steps may include exploring one's body through touch, music, and other sensory experiences that promote a sense of well-being and connection. Wendy suggests that even simple actions, such as wearing matching underwear, can provide a sense of empowerment and self-care. She encourages people to use all five senses to connect with their bodies and create a more present, immersive experience. By engaging in these activities, individuals can boost their confidence and reignite their passion as they navigate the complexities of midlife.

Perfectionism, that nagging feeling of never doing enough, of never being good enough, guilt any time you practice a little self-care. Do you ever wonder where these feelings and inner voices that dog us come from?  It's a question I've given a lot of thought to and deep-dived into in today's Oh Health podcast with Elise Loehnen, author of her newest release, the NYT Bestseller, "On Our Best Behavior: The 7 Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good." Join me for the latest episode of On Health as we explore the roots of perfectionism, being a "good mom," and being a "good girl," and discuss:  Elise's firsthand experience with high-functioning anxiety and its influence on the content of her new book The relentless pursuit of self-improvement and the longing to be "good enough." The idea of "Hungry Ghosts" and how so many of us have narratives and ideas chasing us that make us feel inadequate  What it means to be "good" as a woman and mother, and why we deny ourselves certain pleasures that don't align with this societal mould  The meaning and significance behind "The 7 Deadly Sins", and the effect they have on women  The art of balance and why it's what Elise hopes her readers will take away from the book  Self-inquiry and how Elise is putting this into practice in her everyday life  The wellness industry and the dangerous perpetual perfectionism and purity it pushes  Changing the narrative to support other women rather than tear them down    Thank you so much for taking the time to tune in to your body, yourself, and this podcast!

Previously, Elise was the chief content officer of goop, where she co-hosted The goop Podcast and she also co-hosted The goop Lab on Netflix. We start our conversation with Elise talking me through the pivotal moment at the end of 2019, feeling inadequate and exhausted, and contending with consuming anxiety and panic. She realised the way she was living her life simply could not be sustained. Elise came to recognise that, like so many of us, she was using work - and a ramped up level of busyness - as a tool to numb and to keep her fears at bay. Through the process of writing this book, and ultimately changing her life, Elise learnt the value of sitting in the discomfort, re-connecting to our inner knowing, prioritising rest, and interrupting our social conditioning.She shares her simple steps to get really clear on our basic needs, wants and who it is that we want to be, as a person.SHOWNOTESElise's instant New York Times bestseller: On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good.

This week on the pod, the girls talk to author, podcaster and former chief content officer of goop, Elise Loehnen. Elise has co-written twelve books, five of which have been New York Times bestsellers, and Em and Alex are joined by her to discuss her latest, On Our Best Behaviour: The Price Women Pay to be Good. Why can women rarely recover from their failures? Why is the patriarchy so devastating to boys and men? Elise shares her manifesto, which argues that the seven deadly sins (lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride) have been used by the patriarchy to control women throughout our history. This fascinating theory expands on our episode with Jameela Jamil, back in January 2022, in which the girls spoke about why, as a society, we build women up only to tear them down.

In today's episode,  I have a wonderful conversation with the incredible Elise Loehnen. Elise is a 6/2 Emotional Manifesting Generator, she is a writer, editor, and podcast host who lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Rob, and their two sons, Max and Sam.She is the host of Pulling the Thread a podcast focused on pulling apart the stories we tell about who we are - and then putting those threads back together. Ultimately Elise is a seeker and synthesizer, pulling together wisdom traditions, cultural history, and a deep knowledge of healing modalities to unlock a new way to contextualize who we are and why we're here. Elise is also the author of also the author of the upcoming,On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good (May ‘23, Dial Press/PRH). The book weaves together history, memoir, and cultural criticism to explore the ways patriarchy lands in the bodies of women and embeds itself in our consciousness—and what we then police in ourselves and in each other. Regardless of our religious provenance. This converrsation was facinating for me because I felt lucky as I grew up in a very equal household, my parents didn't fall into the normal gender roles, taking different roles in the home and parenting.Join me in this facinating conversation with Elise as we dive into all of this and so much more.Big Love, MxxELISE LOEHNEN'S DETAILSBook: https://www.eliseloehnen.com/onourbestbehaviorIG: @eliseloehnenNewsletter: https://eliseloehnen.substack.com/Podcast: https://chartable.com/podcasts/pulling-the-thread-with-elise-loehnenOTHER RESOURCESWant more on Human Design?

If you don't already know Elise Loehnen, here's all you need to know – every time Elise speaks, we understand ourselves better. The powerhouse thinker, author, and podcaster is back on the Expanded Pod with some things to say that you've probably been waiting a long time to hear. The energetics of “cringe”, the endless quest for validation from our parents, the reason our culture takes some sick joy in watching women get “taken down a peg”, the power of alchemizing envy into expansion. It gets real juicy. And obviously, we went into Elise's new book, On Our Best Behavior, in which talks about the seven deadly sins and how these deeply embedded cultural “rules” have us stuck in a place where we are psychologically denying our own needs?… Yeah – if you're already mindblown just reading this, know that this is BUT A SAMPLE of how you will feel listening to this convo between Jess and Elise. Hearing Elise, especially through the lens of TBM, reminds us that we are all on this path together – as a TBM community, as women, as a society at large – striving for self-awareness and full self-acceptance at the highest degree.

Author Elise Loehnen has thought a lot about women and desire. In her new book On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good, she breaks down the cultural forces that teach women to be desirable rather than desiring, and the shame attached to a woman wanting something: whether it's sex, success, or a damn slice of pizza. Whether it's lust, and the way we encourage women to police others' sexuality, or sloth, and the way women are encouraged to be their husbands' caregivers, these invisible expectations serve none of us. Instead, Elise talks about ways we can liberate ourselves in ways that improve our sex lives and beyond: how to balance masculine and feminine energies in relationships, how to shed sexual shame, and so much more. As Elise says, “Our bodies are portals; lust is the invitation to enter.”Please note that this episode includes discussions of sexual trauma.

Whether or not we are individually religious, a lot of our lives are governed by our relationships to what the Christian church calls the Seven Deadly Sins - pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. As Elise Loehnen explores in her new book, On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to be Good, that leads us to uphold patriarchy, and sometimes to hurt ourselves and each other. But it doesn't have to be this way. In a candid conversation driven by curiosity and hope, Elise and Jessi explore what we stand to gain when we re-examine our most complicated feelings.

In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Elise Loehnen to discuss the ways in which women have been conditioned to conform to societal expectations of "being good." Elise, author of On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and The Price Women Pay To Be Good, provides profound insights into the deep-rooted conditioning that has shaped women's behavior, choices, and self-perception. From upbringing to cultural influences, we explore the various forces that have shaped our notions of goodness, lust, and greed, often at the expense of their authentic selves. Join us as we unpack the societal pressures, stereotypes, and double standards that women face, and delve into the transformative power of recognizing and challenging these conditioning patterns. Get ready for a thought-provoking conversation.

“If I remember correctly, I think you ran as fast as you could to the thing that you're more comfortable with, which is other people's research, other people's ideas, showing the connection between historical ideas and current, you know, thought leaders and the way they were operating. And so, and what I felt was that you, Elise, were missing. And I think what I really wanted you to do, and this is what I meant by like, show us your journey through these things, is I needed you and, and you got there, to filter and to sort of act as guide for the reader showing us what you were realizing as you were bringing and making these connections and synthesizing all of these other thought leaders, and, you know, expert work because that's the journey we need to be on as reader.” That voice? That's my editor Whitney Frick, and she joins me today for a very special episode of Pulling the Thread, on the eve of On Our Best Behavior's publication—coming May 23. Many of you have been with me as I've written this book, and by osmosis, you probably have some sense of the process, but it felt important to me to celebrate OOBB (as we call it), by bringing you all the way inside. I wanted to do this with the person who knows the text almost as well as I do. Writing a book is really hard—and it's also incredibly co-creative. As someone who has co-written or ghostwritten 12 books, I'm usually the co-creator, holding the structure for the authors while they revisit their lives and mine it for story. In this case, though, it was Whit who helped me, holding the potential of the book as a guiding light for the process. She took me by the hand, bringing me ever closer to myself as I worked through drafts. We both worked really hard on this book—really hard. Distilling, refining, and interrogating the material until we knew the path was so well-trod, readers would be able to easily follow the book's unfolding, and understand exactly what I was trying to say. To say that I'm pleased with how On Our Best Behavior turned out is an understatement—I'm thrilled, which is not something that's easy for me to say. I believe the book is the best I could write, and I'm so grateful to Whit for getting me there. As we explore in today's conversation, I had a very powerful battle with resistance—and am so happy I pushed through. If you haven't yet ordered your copy, On Our Best Behavior is available wherever you get your books starting May 23—in the U.S., Canada, UK, and Australia, with more countries to come.

So much of the stories we tell of who we are have been told by men who have a certain view of the inevitability of patriarchy as the only system that we know throughout the world, ascribing an inevitability about it that is inaccurate and untrue. There have been multiple theories on how the patriarchy emerged in society and ultimately, we'll never completely know as it predates written records. However, a Lithuanian archaeologist by the name of Marija Gimbutas theorized that in the Paleolithic period when the Judeo-Christian patriarchy emerged, a group of Kurgans who are warring men came down from the steps of Russia. At a time of ecological and environmental movement, these primarily warring men came and enslaved people, women, children, marking the start of patriarchy. Marija was destroyed by this theory but was proven to be correct years later. For Elise, she sees that there's a standard of perfection, especially for people like Marija. Men and women are constantly in debates about nature and culture, conflating the two and creating these ideas about what it truly means to be a man or a woman. With anthropologists, they can be either right or wrong about history but for Elise, we cannot move forward without having these conversations.

On today's unwind, I'm speaking with Elise Loehnen, who is someone I have admired for years and someone who inspired me to start this podcast three years ago. I first discovered Elise when she was hosting the GOOP podcast, and I absolutely adored her interviewing style, her delicate questions and the way that she mesmerised me by the sheer quantity of books she'd read and the nature of the conversations she held.Elise has been a great teacher of mine, and so when I discovered she'd written her very own book, I couldn't have been happier to invite her on this podcast because she is truly an incredible woman. Elise is now the host of her very own podcast called Pulling the Thread. She has co-written 12 books, five of which were New York Times best sellers and she's now written a brand new book that has had me spellbound for days. The book is called On Our Best Behaviour: The Price Women Pay to Be Good. And the book uncovers and unravels the seven deadly sins that have seeped into our lives, whether we are conscious of it or not. This book would never have been able to see the light of day a few decades ago because Elise investigates oppressive societal norms so many of us accept and others enforced in a way that exposes how toxic and hurtful they are for humanity, especially women.Elise's new book is out on 23rd May in the UK.Find Elise:Website: https://www.eliseloehnen.com/Pre-order her new book: https://amzn.eu/d/0niHcU3Podcast: https://www.eliseloehnen.com/episodesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/eliseloehnen/?hl=enPlease follow @poppyjamie and let me know your thoughts about the episode!A big thank you to our sponsors:Huel Black Edition is a high protein, nutritionally complete meal in a convenient shake.
