The Paradox of Womanhood: Motherhood Edition

Adrienne Irizarry, HWH Season 4 Episode 8

The impossible standards of womanhood are exhausting. We’re expected to be powerful but not intimidating, beautiful but effortless, caregivers but never needy. It’s a paradox that keeps us chasing an ever-moving finish line, always feeling like we’re falling short. But what if the feeling of “not enough” isn’t personal—it’s systemic? 

In this episode, we unpack the societal and generational conditioning that fuels this illusion, and we explore tangible ways to break the cycle. The truth is, you were never the problem. The rules were.
