In this special episode honoring Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, Hawah shares how author and activist bell hooks has inspired his thinking, how men’s emotional repression contributes to societal harm, and how embracing vulnerability can lead to collective healing and liberation for both men and women.
Featuring the wisdom of guest bell hooks, this conversation highlights the transformative power of feminine leadership, emotional intelligence, and radical love in shaping a more just future.
For centuries, society has prioritized masculine qualities, competition, aggression, and control, while devaluing the feminine traits of empathy, collaboration, and care. The consequences? Political gridlock, environmental destruction, ongoing wars, and fractured relationships. In this solo episode, Hawah Kasat reflects on the impact of this imbalance, proposing that restoring global feminine leadership is essential for our species' survival.
Drawing from feminist thinkers like bell hooks, as well as the governance structures of the Iroquois Confederacy, Hawah explores how societies have flourished when both masculine and feminine energies are given equal value. He also discusses the systemic barriers historically holding women back, from legal restrictions on credit and property ownership to their continued underrepresentation in leadership today.
This episode weaves together personal memories, historical insights, and practical solutions, urging men to embrace vulnerability and advocating for feminine leadership as essential to restoring balance in our world.

- The childhood moment that awakened his sensitivity and awareness of emotions
- How men are conditioned to suppress vulnerability and its long-term effects
