## Resource

In this week’s episode of The Audaci-Tea Podcast, hosts Lisa and Sovereign explore what womanhood looks like when it is no longer shaped by patriarchy, the male gaze, or the need for male approval. Together, they break down how women are conditioned to perform, shrink, and self police, and what it actually means to live authentically, freely, and on your own terms. But first, in Tea Time, Lisa and Sovereign discuss the killing of Imani Smith, a Broadway actress best known for her work in The Lion King, a disturbing video of a man threatening women’s rights, a viral Reddit breakup story, and the public reaction to Stefon Diggs and Cardi B (Please note, this episode was recorded BEFORE new broke of Stefon Diggs being charged with folony strangulation of a woman). Later, in the Mailbag, they respond to a listener asking whether men become meaner toward women once they turn 30. 🎧 This episode unpacks how reclaiming womanhood is a deeply personal journey, why empowerment comes from within, and how women can detach from patriarchal expectations without losing themselves in the process. 🎙️ Topics Discussed: Womanhood outside of patriarchy and the male gaze Decentering men and reclaiming women’s autonomy How the male gaze shapes women’s identity and safety Self discovery, authenticity, and personal agency Women, aging, and male resentment Choosing fulfillment over external validation ✨ Links and Resources Mentioned:Former ‘The Lion King’ on Broadway child actress killed in New Jersey stabbinghttps://www.wbaltv.com/article/former-the-lion-king-on-broadway-child-actress-killed-in-new-jersey-stabbing/69872197 Homicide leading cause of death for pregnant women in U.S.https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/homicide-leading-cause-of-death-for-pregnant-women-in-u-s/ Gen Z Leads Resurgence In…
