We've been told to find great careers, but don't work too much! Or you'll have no time for love. If you're married, they likely told you too that you look like you're neglecting your husband and your kids too if you have any.

It feels like we have to do it all, but are told it's too much or never enough. In this episode of Hush Podcast, we're diving deeper into the crazy expectations women face. From being top-notch workers and loving moms to perfect daughters and ideal partners, it seems women are expected to do it all but are still told it's not enough.

So the story goes: Boy and girl meet. Boy and girl date. Boy and girl become official. Boy and girl marry. Boy and girl move into a home together, and everyone lives happily ever after right?

As of lately, more and more couples are deciding to tackle the roommate test before saying their I dos. And while moving boxes and making a copy of one's key has become a normalised milestone in one's relationship, it still has people questioning — does living together before marriage ruin relationships?

The societal expectations for a woman are hard to achieve. It's like attempting to reach an equilibrium that ceases to exist. Remember! You can be angry, but you not too angry. You can be funny, but not overly so. You can be intelligent, but not a smartmouth (it's not ladylike!) And most importantly, you can be emotional, but never too sensitive. As women, we are constantly policed to believe that being too little or too much of something is the be-all end-all of our identities. When that shouldn't be the case. In this episode, the HUSH girls break down these harmful stereotypes and challenge the status quo, while embracing the quirks on what it truly is like to be a woman in this day and age —female rage and all.

Have you ever heard the phrase ‘women are hard to read?' This leaves us to wonder…really meh? Because as members of the superior gender, there could be nothing simpler. A woman who responds with ‘I'm fine' after being asked what's wrong —really isn't fine. And when she tells you ‘nothing' for the second time, you can bet that this silent treatment she's giving you isn't over nothing. Finally when she tells you to ‘just leave it' —please don't. Now if you're a man reading this, we don't expect you to have it all down from the get-go. Your struggle to decode us, our texts, our conversations, our behaviour, our social cues will not be in vain. But take it from us when we say, you'll need a pen and notepad for this one, because you're in for a full session of women speak 101.

Moving on from a relationship is never easy, whether it takes someone 2 weeks or a year, there is no fixed timeline to the grieving process. But is there such a thing as moving on too quickly?

The time it takes for someone to step into the dating world again hinges on so many factors —was their previous relationship endgame or was it just a situationship? Had they mentally checked out months before or did the breakup come as a surprise? Are they currently seeking what we call a ‘rebound' relationship and if so, does this actually mean they have moved on?

Red flags, green flags, and now… beige flags. We analyse every word, action, and gesture, seeking hidden meanings or potential signs of compatibility or incompatibility. However, should we immediately hop on the trend and go, "Then it must be true!", or should we take the time and allow ourselves to experience the natural flow of a connection?
