Before we dive back into the final episodes of our What’s Underneath: Masculinity series in partnership with Man Enough, we are kicking off the new year with an episode featuring Man Enough co-host herself, Liz Plank! In this episode, Liz, an activist, author of "For the Love of Men," and co-host of both the "Man Enough" and "Synced" podcasts, shares her journey of becoming a self-loving feminist, complete with imperfections and contradictions on the path to embodying her own beliefs. At 36, Liz is breaking free from a lifetime of body image struggles, toxic dating patterns with unavailable men, and the pressures of starting a family in her 30s. Instead, she is wholeheartedly embracing the richness of her single life. Inspired by the summer of Barbie, Beyoncé, and Taylor Swift, Liz is confident that women no longer need to be in opposition to men or to act just like men in order to be powerful, but can rather define their own lives and culture on their own terms.
