In this episode, we’re unboxing Invisible Strings —and investigating the unseen forces that quietly shape our choices, silence our voices, and keep us in boxes we never asked for.
We’ll journey from the rigid 1950s housewife trope to the current far-right rhetoric creeping into our modern world, exploring how control over women has been systemically woven into everything—from education and economics to politics and power.
This episode gets historical, a little political, and deeply personal. You’ll hear the story behind my song Invisible Strings, written as a battle cry for every woman who’s been told to stay small, stay silent, and stay put. Together, we ask the question: How do we cut the ties we can’t even see?
If you’ve ever felt held back by expectations, by systems, or by the subtle messages that tell you who you’re supposed to be—this episode is for you.
David Thiele Produced Invisible Strings and crushed it!!
