A space for women to feel like they are not alone in the hardships or struggles that they are facing.

I'm Tired of Being the Strong One: Second Puberty, Past Lessons and Finding Yourself w/ Tahmina Begum

February 01, 2022 • Unswtnd+Unfltrd • Season 4

"It's about time we address the 'second puberty' nobody warns us about."

We are opening Season 4 with the founder of Aram Newsletter, Tahmina Begum!

Tahmina is a brilliant journalist, writer and editor - alongside her newsletter she has written many articles and one of them discussing the second puberty.

She defines this as the necessary shedding of old skin. Not only are you now making choices for yourself but you are also redefining who you are. It’s like a spiritual awakening and a rebirth all in one.

How does one prepare for such a reckoning in life where you also find yourself questioning everything, such as your career, love life, and at times your spirituality!

In this episode we also discuss the tug of war we have within ourselves when it comes to being the strong one and how it affects our relationships and even our love life!

I can't help but wonder how our past lessons in life play a role in all of this?

Tune in to find out!
