Day 29 of My 40 Day Fast: What Would Happen if Women Stayed Home?

Some women are born with a purpose, and they will be called to fulfill their destiny. They may contribute to the world in a significant way, or even make a ground-shaking discovery. The reality is most of us are out here doing administrative work, and it’s unfulfilling.

That’s what I was doing until I just couldn't do it any longer, and I quit my job with no backup plan. I have since thought about getting back into the workforce, but I’m so repelled by it. I've worked since I was 15 years old. Life’s too short for 40+ hours a week at a job that overworks us and makes someone else richer.

I just want to write, and stay home. I would rather hang out with my future children and husband than fake people at work. Don’t get me wrong, I met great people at work. There's a lot of workplace politics that I didn't really see until I left. The people I was surrounded by were overworked, which made them negative, tired, and complain a lot. They couldn't help it, but it wasn’t a high-vibe environment.

I think that's true about a lot of workplaces, everyone's overworked. I no longer want to be part of that. Spending my days writing and hanging out with my future kids and husband sounds like the dream life, not ‘making that bag.’

The narrative that is pushing women into the workforce is unhealthy because it makes women feel guilty for staying home and taking care of their family. This narrative causes women to feel unfulfilled. I was in the workforce for 25 years. Honestly, it's exhausting out there. I was given the opportunity to work up the corporate ladder, but I am unable to kiss anyone’s butt.

Yesterday I posted a piece about why women need to stay home. You can read it by clicking the story below.

The story is about how the responsibility of producing and releasing healthy, well-adjusted humans into the world lies with women. We have the power to remove disease from the bloodline, which requires us to go through a healing process. You can read about that by clicking the story below.

The healing process teaches us how to raise healthy, well-adjusted humans, and we pass on this wisdom so future generations prevent disease from entering the bloodline. This is difficult to do when we are working outside of the home. Dual income households leave little time for healthy home-cooked meals, and that is just one negative aspect.

A woman should absolutely learn to be self-reliant before having children. Life is unpredictable, and we never really know where it will take us. However, our duty is to heal mentally, emotionally, and physically before having children. The health of the family is also our responsibility.

The cost of living has made it difficult for most households to survive on a single income. The reason costs are so high is because women are in the workforce and the banks take into account that households have dual incomes. Housing prices are largely set because two people are able to pay into a mortgage. A lot of the inflation in society is based on this.

If women pulled out of the workforce and decided to stay home, housing prices would become unsustainable. Banks would be forced to drop mortgage rates, which would effectively lower the housing market in general. In the big picture, women in the workforce makes the rich richer.

When we heal ourselves and remove disease from the bloodline, we take away the strain on the health care system and our reliance on pharmaceutical companies. Again, women in the workforce make the rich richer. Removing disease from the bloodline and teaching our children to live in a way that is disease preventative will make those pharmaceutical companies irrelevant.

Women have the power to create radical positive change in the world. We have the power to take down long-standing structures that have been profiting off of us.

Some may think I'm idealistic, and none of this is actually possible. Whatever is within us, we project out into the world. Whatever beliefs we have about ourselves, we project those same beliefs onto others. If you believe that we don't have the power to do this, it's only because you believe that about yourself.

I have been on this spiritual and healing journey for awhile. I know that the body can heal from disease. I have a severe gut disease and I have been researching health for years. I have been healing and doing the inner work, and so I project that potential out into the world. If I can do it, you can absolutely do it.

*Update* I have had some thoughts since posting this story. I've posted the story below.
