When it comes to social movements, humans tend to swing from one extreme to another. Today we sit down with our good sis Adella Afadi to ask the question, have we gone too far with some of our responses to internet trends and conversations on the male gaze, being a ‘pick me’ and recovering from people pleasing?

This was such a wholesome episode. The chat about the male gaze was great but the mutual encouragement at the end took everything to another level. I feel like I eavesdropped on a great conversation between two great women! Thank you so much for sharing!

Such a lovely convo! It also reminded me of how often times Christian women want a guy who knows God but not per se a man of God because of the lack of roughness and the "cringe".

Everyday 'Christian men with edge' 😭 how about the edge of the CROSS!!!

Adella inspires me, and your relationship with your husband inspires to look for something worthy and worthwhile. Hope I'll find it someday. Thank you for the grace God's given you to be you. Thank you for being you.

Lovely conversation. When Adella was talking about the hate towards women who hv reached an 'untouchable', what came to my mind as a psychologist is a concept called relational aggression. I think it can helps us understand why we end up being that way. But thoroughly enjoyed listening to you young ladies ❤ Courtney love you mucho ❤❤❤

I missed Renee. Idk, Adella. Obviously I’ve been under a rock. It’s very nice to meet her. I enjoyed everything about this. I’ve never really thought about the male gaze 🤔 thank you

I get what Adella is talking about people hating on influencers once they get to a certain level and I have seen it happen to those influencers she named, its so vile.

Love the guest's openness! Courtney, hopefully the guest you've had on will help you to be vulnerable about yourself on this channel about how you perceive yourself, your thoughts on the male gaze and your celibacy journey. You've never shared. Great conversation today girlies!

Hey sis! Thank you for your thoughts and glad you enjoyed the episode 🥰 we tend to allow the guest a bit more space to share their thoughts - esp because Courts already has so much content out on her own journey on the male gaze, desirability, and celibacy and in past TMS episodes. Good to know a reiteration may be needed ❤️
