Let’s Reframe Workout Guilt
There is a lot of pressure to be everything all at once. There’s not enough time in the day for that and a lot of the things that get sidelined are the things that would make the biggest difference in how we feel. Be the perfect parent, spouse, employee, child, neighbor, friend, or volunteer, and also make sure you take care of yourself because we wouldn’t want you to be a hot mess either. That’s a whole lot of expectations society puts especially on vulva owners.
Health and Wealth
The first question you probably have is why is Pfiff talking about wealth, she is focused on health. Two words my wise friend: financial freedom. As a vulva owner (thank you Dr. Emily for this language!!) your education and cultural narratives most likely did not include the importance of managing your finances and being in charge of your budget, investments, and financial portfolio. It is possible you were told not to talk about money (rude!), that you are not smart enough to manage investments or a portfolio (untrue!), or that your place was to manage the household budget and anything beyond that was not your concern (your money, your concern!).
