Hi, frahnd!

This season, we sharing how we’ve been struggling with others, the ways its been affecting us, and the small things we’re doing to change our outlooks on our situations and take back the reigns of our social lives.

Today we’re getting real about something that so many of us are unlearning: the influence of the male gaze and how it’s shaped the way we show up in the world. From how we dress, to how we act, to what we post online. It's time to talk about the quiet pressure of being “watchable,” “pleasing,” or “desirable”… and how exhausting that can be.
