Labels are everywhere. We want to belong to certain communities and groups. We want to belong, period. We also want to feel understood, both by others and by ourselves. But what are some downsides of seeking out labels?

9: Why are we so bad at consent and asking for permission?

7: Does the way we dress reveal how intelligent we are?
Sometimes, we realise things about ourselves that aren't very pleasant to realise, and even less pleasant to talk about. In today's episode, Lana shares one of her latest realisations that has to do with the way we we're perceived by other people based on how we dress and take care of ourselves. Do intelligent women dress down and not care about the way they look? And do unintelligent women dress up? Well, according to what we see in certain movies - yes. But what does Lana think about that, and what's her personal experience?
