The Mental Load Women Carry with Arianna Brown
In this episode of Women Lead, Nadia interviews Arianna Brown, a senior sales leader and advertising growth expert. From her global adventures to thought-provoking discussions, they explore topics like cultivating a positive mindset, embracing change, and the persistent issue of the mental load carried by women.
They also delve into the impact of legislation on families, the media's influence on gender roles, and the progress we're making in reshaping societal norms. Arianna shares her insights on building self-confidence and the importance of sharing experiences. "Confidence comes from believing in yourself and validating your own thoughts and opinions."
They also touch on the influence of Disney movies growing up and how those storylines have evolved in 2024 with new heroines, but most importantly, how those narratives have reinforced certain gender norms for young girls. Arianna provides some stellar recommendations for inspiring resources.
3 Big Takeaways
- “People will essentially reciprocate the energy you put out into the world” - Arianna Brown
- No one is immune to insecurity. It’s how you approach it and keep putting yourself out there. Keep trying. Keep throwing yourself into the ring!
- Legislation needs to support women by allowing for adequate maternity AND paternity leave, and childcare aid and support. Companies also have to recognize that more flexibility for parents can be life-changing, and ultimately help each employee be more productive.
