044 Safisfizers and Maximizers
Often in life, we are challenged to avoid making mistakes, to not own up to our mistakes if we make them, and certainly we lean on our reputation for forgiveness in the unavoidable wake of being mistaken. It seems like the crushing weight of not choosing the right partner, early on, weighs heavy on many of us. On today’s show, I suggest letting go of the fear that you are unworthy of the love that you long for. I believe that everyone is a personal magnet for the love they deserve. Sometimes we get the love that we deserve, and it forces us to become better people. I have been made better by the men who have let me down, rejected me, and lead me astray on my journey. I have been refined to a higher purpose, and I am no longer in fear of my shadow self. Since I am finally able to see my dark side, I can avoid being a maximizer- always looking for the next best option. Share your thoughts with me on IG @dailydoseofbpod or Brittanie Jay on Facebook

043 Masculinity Overload
Relationship dynamics in the 21st-century are difficult to navigate. While fragile and soy-fed men and women continue to fill up the dating pool until it reeks of toxic waste, many humans are still trying to sort through what to expect from their counterparts. On today's show I talk about the disparity between supply and demand of masculine ability. So many women find themselves working hard and pursuing excellence- which makes them uninteresting to the high performing masculine who seek nearly pure feminine traits. Will men breach this gap emotionally so they can be evenly yolked or will women move out of the workforce? Are single mothers who can still bear children really the worst choice for traditional men? It's always complicated. Tell me your thoughts! IG @dailydoseofb Facebook @brittanie jay

042 Barbie in Review
On today's show I address the plotless dystopian movie Barbie that I unfortunately paid to see. While assuming the film would be a nostalgic and probably left leaning film about pink and feminism- I was quickly surprised to find no plot line and a lot of misandrist mocking of men and traditionalist world views. While the expectation that this movie would be conservative is laughable, I expected at least a veiled pursual of extreme anti-male propaganda which ended up being the forefront plot. While the males in the movie were sad, pathetic losers- Barbie and the two supporting female leads have to fix the world by restoring women to the top. ⠀ This movie was a waste of two hours and fifteen dollars - should have just watched feminist twitter for two hours instead.

041 Almost Christian
On today's show, I discuss my history growing up in a Baptist church, and how that molded my religious views. While my intellectual knowledge of Christian theology is not some thing I happily ditch, I also can't claim to be someone who wants to label "Christian". I have developed virtue, not by knowing about a guy who died and rose again- but by realizing the deeper, richer meaning of Christ- and how we must all take up our cross and find responsibility in our lives by chasing meaning and truth.

040 Rejection is Redirection
On today's show I explain my feelings around "losing" relationships and how it has always looked like providence in hindsight. Like many of us, I have felt the incredible stress that comes with feeling rejected - that deep abandonment wound that pops back up from childhood or losing a partner that had a deep meaning. While it can be difficult to get through losing someone in business, in friendships, or even intimate partners- esp when it triggers you- life will unfold and show you why you always deserved better.

039 Thief of Joy
On today's show, I explore how comparison, even to our hopes and dreams or fears can steal the joy of being. Whether it's being in a relationship with an ideal, instead of the person in front of us, or it's longing to feel like an upgrade from someone's ex - it's easy to get lost in comparison. Why do we settle for black and white thinking? Why do our brains construct things to cheer us up or make us sad? We can stay present and absent of comparison to have the most content joy. That's the real flex. Leave your thoughts on my instagram or Facebook! Follow on IG @dailydoseofbpod or Facebook @brittaniejay

038 Misogyny
On today's show, I confront facts and misinformation surrounding the word misogyny. While this word was once used only to denigrate the worst of opinions held against women - it is now a catch all term that includes an attack on behaviors that just a few decades back were considered highly polite- such as opening a door for a woman. I am no stranger to the horrific "manosphere" logic that degrades single mothers, sexual liberation, access to birth control and many other modern scernarios - but I think if we take a deeper look we will find most people are just seeking to cope with desperate situations. Empathy is the way we can curb misogyny and not further shaming men for vaguely distateful behavior. Have you seen real misogyny in your life as a woman? Has a woman ever mislabeled you as a misogynist? Chat with me on IG @dailydoseofbpod or @brittaniejay on Facebook

037 Gold Digger, The Misnomer
I'm going straight for the jugular on today's show - while I look at the term "gold digger" and where it gets a basis. Are beautiful women really looking for a luxurious lifestyle? While many men look at the highest status guys and think they are attracting "gold diggers" (and that may be the case irregularly), they fail to recognize the deepest of truths about evolutionary biology. The hard truth is that women were not designed to hunt and provide. Our genetic make up, build, and muscularity leave much to be desired on that front. While we know the world is full of predators, on a subconscious level, we look for a man who can fend them off. These men have the discipline and skills to keep us SAFE - money is simply a biproduct. Sometimes money is used to confuse women into thinking a man is high status (and ambitious) when he is truly peacocking - in many instances a man who show dominance in his domain is paid in status. Women want to move that status closer to protect future offspring - and there's nothing gold digging about a mama bear! Are you convinced? Have any feedback? As always, I love to hear your thoughts.

035 Self Medicating
On this episode, I chat about my feelings around self medicating -- a vague but necessary subject. Each of us knows what our unhealthiest self turns to and it becomes bad for us when we confuse the self medicating to be self serving. Regardless if it's porn, alcohol, cigarettes, cannabis, social media or something more nefarious like pharmaceuticals -- we have to be mindful of treating ourselves for wounds that we find inside. Our closest friends and allies should be leaned on when it comes to checking in on ourselves. From our view- whether we have a healthy outlet for our experiences or are are using a substance to cope - we often can't always see this truth for ourselves. Do you find yourself self medicating on occasion? Chat with me @dailydoseofbpod Facebook @brittaniejay

034 Skeptical Government Skeptic
Happy Memorial Day - and we've got a doozy of an episode where I unravel my inherent skepticism of even my own world view! While, I've been a proud Anarchist/Voluntaryist for a while, I've run into a lot of folks who seem to miss the importance of respecting individuals and not institutions. That means we have to also respect humans WITHIN institutions who genuinely want what's best for their community (even if it's misguided.) My experience with government workers is that most do want to help, serve, and care for their local folks and the country, but do not realize how counterintuitive their departments can be to the ideals of freedom and self ownership. If we stay skeptical and humanize statists, we can expect the same understanding in return -- and that's something worth celebrating. Find me on IG - @dailydoseofbpod Find me on FB- Brittanie jay

033 Female Friendships
Dedicated to my own Best Friend Today's episode is a reminder to all women how important it is to have female friendships. Not only is it more satisfying to live each day full of feminine energy, love, and folks who truly relate to your lived experience -- it is an essential practice to being in balance for other relationships. I am closer to myself than I have ever been, simply, because I have a friend to vent to and be witnessed by! I am more open to a romantic relationship that doesn't feel feminine, because I no longer have the need for a man to fill the role of a best friend for me. I feel that attraction is often lost in relationships when we relegate our partners to solely being our best friends, our teammates, our housemates etc - we can appreciate the specialness of a romantic connection after we have the other things on lock! I'm so thankful that I stopped competing with, stopped tearing down, and stopped ruining my female friendships. Nothing has made my life more satisfying than all of the women I know.

032 Maturity Gaps

032 Maturity Gaps
On today's show I attempt to flesh through the problem with dating very young, barely legal women. My target age group is 18-20 but I suppose those are not firm numbers and there are definite exceptions to my rule. However, as a group- I feel It is best that men in their thirties avoid taking the responsibility of young women on due to their lack of maturity. Are age gaps really the problem in relationships? Absolutely not. Many women find the love of a man who is older to feel very secure and comforting. There is an undeniable sexual attraction between a young and fertile woman to a man with the status to build a life and home. He wants to choose a wife with the best chances for reproduction and she wants the best outcomes for her kids. That doesn't negate the fact that taking on a very young woman and leading her into commitment as an older man comes with some very serious potential consequences. Maidens will all wake up (either before or after bearing children) to the fact that their relationship experience is majorly lacking. A woman may overlook or feel careless about it, but often resentment bubbles up and divorce is primarily sought by women. Are men miscalculating what a healthy grown woman really is? Can it be calibrated to be exactly 18? Are there other metrics like maturity that should have to exist in the contract of marriage? That'swhy being under the influence makes a contract invalid- folks are supposed to be of sound mind. What say you, listener? @dailydoseofbpod on IG @brittaniejay on FB

031 Attention as Currency

031 Attention as Currency
On this episode, I address a common misconception among folks in the "red pill" community. While evolutionary biology does dictate so much of male and female behavior the generalization that only women see attention as currency is a pretty big miss. On the whole, all humans need attention and all humans fight for attention. As babies, we cry for attention to survive. As we age we become more sophisticated. This means that women will cast a wide net for validation in hopes that one of those men will want to meaningfully invest. Men cast a similarly large net when it comes to sexual advances, hoping that some of those advances are met with affirmation. We are so much more alike than we are different as men and women, but there's still the need for all of us to look deeply at ourselves and figure out what motivates us so that we can self-validate and be whole.

030 The Cost of "NO"
On today's show, I cover a topic that's one of the most important to date. The power of saying yes, to opportunity, and the cost of saying no to growth. Many of us wrestle with feelings of inadequacy and lack. Often that lack creates a cycle in which we box ourselves out of new opportunities. As I've grown, I realize that the only way to be my most authentic self, was to welcome change, and cling to only those things that truly represented me and aligned with my integrity. Sometimes that meant letting go of big things, and in my case, it involved letting go of a marriage. It can be a scary place to do the brave things that other people shy away from doing. Those people don't understand the cost of saying "no", but there's always room for change. Have you paid the cost to say no? Where in your life do you wish you would have said yes?

On today's show, I discussed the importance of not to miss categorizing, or miss characterizing someone based on their Internet persona. While it's fun to get to know someone on the Internet that you would never have the chance to meet in real life, we all have to be careful not to confuse that with a genuine connection. Even I am guilty of finding a super high-status hottie's Instagram, and thinking that I had a connection with him that I truly didn't have. Even when you are on the Internet has a personality, you can brush up against the dehumanizing parts of social media. We are all capable of wandering into the pitfalls, if we are not careful.

026 Feminine and Soft
On today's show I explore what is meant by some of the language around attraction. This subject has felt elusive to me for many years, but I've been looking inward at what sides of me are "feminine and soft" and what parts have generated the most attraction. While many women project their own ideas (in regards to masculinity) and try to be the opposite - making themselves small or needy- to catch a man with what they believe are their feminine wiles, I am uncovering that this projection is a misstep. The way a woman stays "soft" by my limited experience with masculine men is by maintaining a sense of wonder and awe for masculine energy. What day you men?

On this episode, I bring my best friend on the pod to discuss a topic we both have experience in to varying degrees. Abuse is a huge problem in relationships, according to self reporting and vital statistics, but it is scary to think that people may not truly understand when they are abusing just as much as they are being abused. Female techniques for abusing their male partners is very different than the angry male counterpart, so we discuss all types of abuse to flesh out what that even means. Are women more empowered to leave because of their own ability to provide or are they finding themselves in a feedback loop of "everything is toxic and everyone is a narcissist" on the web?

After deconstructing political ideology and many areas where I had tossed the baby out with the bath water (when it came to social values)- I ended up in a position tightly held by many evolutionary biologists which also happens to coincide with many historically Christian ideals.

In a world where women can do everything that men can do, I decided to explore whether they should... While I have always considered myself to be an egalitarian feminist- I believe that women should have all of the same rights under the law that men do - I can't help but wonder how our western world has changed as women grew in economic staying power. My personal goals have always been centered around the care for my family, which has now narrowed to my children, but that has clearly become a more difficult focus to have as the cards are ever stacking against the traditional family and traditional mothering. Will more women give up their "boss babe" status in an attempt to nurture their children in the most intimate and meaningful way possible? I sure do hope so.
