Description
Welcome to How Unladylike! A podcast for women on a path to bettering themselves; personally, professionally, and everything in between! Have you ever felt like, as a woman, that everyone else seems to have all the answers and you feel out of the loop? Well, I'm here to tell you that I don’t have all the answers either, but I would love to help you find them. My goal is to cultivate a space where all your burning questions about what it means to be a woman in this world can be safely asked and thoroughly explored. Not only that but I will introduce you to other women, just like you, who are figuring life out as they go and absolutely crushing their goals at the same time. I want this podcast to give you proof of what’s possible for your own life, and help you achieve it. I promise not to shy away from any topics, no matter how taboo, or “unladylike”.
Let’s set out on this journey together and redefine how we move through the world as independent, informed, and empowered women!

As women, a lot of emphasis is put on how we look. From our weight to our height, our hair length to the way we dress, we are judged and ridiculed. In this episode, host Ayesha is joined by close friend and frequent guest Kyla Mitchell-Marquis to discuss an essay titled “The Male Gaze”, touching on how women are portrayed in advertisements. Listen in as they explain how the male gaze denies women their human identity, dehumanizing and objectifying them.

Some people will never respect you, no matter what you do. I have recently had several conversations with males, that feel as though they are in power, regardless of whether they are or not. It has made me appreciate what the women before me have done and what those that will come after me will have to do. In this episode, I will be discussing the “survival mode” that we as women are made to work under and the pressures we face simply because of the gender we are. If you are someone who is not working in a male dominant industry, this may be an eye-opening topic for you. Links from episode: Ayesha’s Current Obsession: Lululemon Face mask SuperCrush Masks
