053: The Elements of Power in Relationship
Sex.Love.Power.: The intimacy podcast for powerful women & those who love them
This week, I'm bringing back the most popular episode of the podcast for your listening pleasure.
The 12 Elements of Power framework is more relevant now than ever for us as feminists who don't want to think about power in an essentialist sense, don't want to think that there are particular qualities that we don't have access to because that hasn't been our lived experience. What we know is that we have within us, for instance, both the capacity to be self-reliant, and the capacity to be connected. Those are two of the elements of power. And all of the elements come in pairs like this that we'll talk through today.
In this episode we’ll talk about
How Driving and Receiving are two sides of the same coin… We can only do so much “making it happen” without a commensurate capacity to “let it in.”
Why “masculine” traits and “feminine” traits are a fallacy, even though there’s plenty of evidence for them, and what’s more true than that kind of gender essentialism
The twelve precise capacities every human possesses and needs to master to be fully powerful in love and elsewhere in life
"With each pair of elements, we become more and more whole as we master those skills."
