ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We’re talking about labels again! Today the princesses chat about labels and how they relate to identity: why we use them, why we don’t, and the power of reclaiming them.
In This Episode
We broke this talk into three sections:
Why choose to use a label?
* Labels can help you figure out who you are (especially if you are going through changes)
* They don’t have to be concrete, just because you use a label doesn’t mean you are committed for life
* Builds strength & character
* You don’t necessarily want to use them lightly, but also don’t stress too much about being perfect first
* Labels can help you feel connected to others especially if the direction you’re headed isn’t A “popular” one
Why do some choose not to use labels?
* Worried about alienating people
* Feel they haven’t “earned it yet”
* See others getting ripped to shreds over not doing it right
The power of labels & reclaiming them
* Labels can be for ourselves, yet it’s common for other people to take them over/taint them
* Taking over or turning labels into something gross is a tactic, (if we are comfortable) we shouldn’t let other dictate what a label means (e.g., feminism)
* Callie tells a work story
