Patriarchy Reframed: Emotional Maturity as the Real Path to Change with Patty Bear
What if the problem isn’t gender—but something deeper we’ve all inherited? In Mind Over Masculinity, hosted by Archita, guest Patty Bear invites us to question everything we think we know about patriarchy.
This episode is for anyone tired of blame, division, and surface-level conversations. You’ll walk away with a powerful reframe: the real work isn’t fighting each other—it’s growing up emotionally. Through stories from aviation, upbringing, and leadership, Patty offers a grounded, hopeful path forward.
