Welcome to the third episode of Machiavelli for Women. In this series, I decode The Prince, one of the most controversial texts in history, to help women flip the patriarchy on its head.

Most of us need to get better at reading between the lines. On top of that, too many of us don't see reality for what it is, because we're clouded by projection, fairness, and reciprocity. In this episode, I'll walk us through a 4-step funnel inspired by Machiavelli's The Prince and Discourses on Livy that'll help us make sense of people's behaviour and buffoonery.

🎙️ About the podcast: The patriarchy is starting to crumble, but sadly it probably won't be fully dismantled in our lifetime. In this podcast, I help women exploit the system's loopholes while finding the hidden ways the patriarchy conditions us to leak our power. Because guess what? Power isn't given, it's either taken or created. And it's time to take back the power the patriarchy stole from us.
