94. Sacred Rage: What the Patriarchy Taught Us About Our Anger, and How to Use It
Join the Community: www.thefemininerebellion.com/communityFor nearly a decade, there was a punching bag in my basement. It was my son's kickboxing bag, and at some point I married it with a baseball bat. Guns N' Roses on, bat in hand, the most amazing rage sessions of my life. Here's what I know now that I didn't know then: I was doing the thing women have been told for centuries not to do. I was letting my rage out. This week's solo episode is about what the patriarchy taught us about our anger, what we did with it instead, why so many of us eventually crack, and why your rage, once you put it into action, is sacred.What you'll hear:🔥 Hysterical, unhinged, too much, "is it that time of the month?": the words that turn a woman's anger into proof that something is wrong with HER (and the Greek word for uterus hiding inside "hysteria")🔥 Elizabeth Packard, the Illinois wife committed to an asylum in 1860 for disagreeing with her husband, and what she did once she got out🔥 The Yale study that found an angry man gets a reason and an angry woman gets a label, even when she's the CEO🔥 What rage actually does in your body, why it's rocket fuel, and what decades of swallowing it costs women between 40 and 60 (our bodies keep the receipts)🔥 The phone call this August when I finally cracked, and the conversation that changed things after🔥 Rage Alchemy: the three-step tool for turning your anger into action, plus the furious mother whose rage changed the drunk driving laws in all 50 statesThe framework: This episode lives in The Reclamation. We're taking back the anger they trained us to swallow, and putting it to work.Your homework: one session, one action. The next time your rage raises its beautiful head, let it move through you, finish the sentence, then ask your anger what it wants you to do, and go do it. Then come tell us in our free community. We'll hold it with you and cheer you on: https://thefemininerebellion.com/communityAudre Lorde wrote in 1981 that anger, "focused with precision," can become "a powerful source of energy serving progress and change." A woman's anger can move mountains. So go move one.Loved this episode? A 5-star review is how another woman finds this show. Thirty seconds, and it matters. And send this one to the woman who's a little ragey right now. She needs it.

93. Pleasure, Power, and the Vote: Joy Is Resistance (with Dr. Nan Wise and Natasha of Voting Shoes)
Four days, loves. This episode is the pre-game: me, Dr. Nan Wise (sex therapist, neuroscientist, and the woman who taught me the phrase healthy hedonism), and Natasha, the former legal aid attorney behind @votingshoes, one of the most joyful voting accounts on Instagram. Nan reached out to Natasha and Natty and the Women Take Charge Collective was born. This conversation is what happened when the three of us got in a room: a complete voting plan for Tuesday, a crash course in the down ballot races that touch your daily life most, and the neuroscience of why joy, connection, and pleasure are not a distraction from the work. They ARE the work.What you'll hear:🔥 Why these midterms are Congress's two-year job evaluation ("Congress works for us, and we can fire them")🔥 Down ballot 101: school boards, state legislators, local judges, county commissions, and how to research yours fast before Tuesday🔥 The voting plan, step by step: find your polling place today, vote early, what to do if anything goes wrong at the polls, your rights in line, and how to track your ballot🔥 Dr. Nan on co-regulation and the seeking system: why overwhelm freezes voters, why curiosity breaks the freeze, and why talking to your neighbor is a political act🔥 Pleasure activism and its lineage, from Audre Lorde's "Uses of the Erotic" to Toni Cade Bambara's charge to make the revolution irresistible to adrienne maree brown's Pleasure Activism, and what joy as resistance looks like four days before an electionThe framework: This episode lives in The Rise. Three women met on a Zoom and became a collective. That's how it starts.Make your plan (do this today):Find your polling place and early voting locations: visit your Secretary of State's website (google your state + secretary of state) or from your phone: 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683)If you're in line before polls close, you have the right to vote, no matter how long it takesAbout half the states offer same-day or Election Day registration; check yoursTuesday: wear shoes that mean something, take the photo, tag @votingshoesJoin us: the Women Take Charge Collective is live on Instagram; DM the word "JOIN" to Dr. Nan [https://www.instagram.com/askdoctornan/] and you're in. One goal a week, together, with pleasure. And our free community is always open: https://thefemininerebellion.com/communityAbout the guests: Dr. Nan Wise is a sex therapist, neuroscientist, and author.

92. The Unwritten Rules: How to Unbind the Family Laws You Never Agreed To
Bootstraps. Power through. Chin up. Show no weakness. Nobody ever sat me down at the kitchen table and read me the rules of my house. Nobody had to. I knew them in my bones, and so did you. This week's solo episode is about those rules: the ones you absorbed from your mom's face when the doorbell rang, the ones you're still obeying at 45, at 50, at 62, and the ones I was still obeying this past March, fifty years old, feet throbbing in ski boots I had hated for three seasons, because somewhere in me a little girl still believed that if it hurts, it's probably good for you.What you'll hear:🔥 Walk it off, Jimmy: the bleachers where so many of us learned that getting hurt is embarrassing and crying is worse🔥 The ski boots I wore for three seasons of pain, and the chairlift conversation that ended it ("that's how deep these rules go")🔥 The rules your community named, and mine: keep it pretty on the outside, suffer to deserve anything good, everyone's feelings are your job, and the one that ties them all together: choose yourself, enjoy the guilt🔥 Why breaking a rule still sets off alarms in your body decades later, and how your body learns something new ("I told the truth and I didn't die")🔥 The House Rules Rewrite: the tool for finding your five rules and writing the law of YOUR house, plus the story of a woman whose one "no, thank you" rewrote a rule that had run her since childhoodThe framework: This episode lives in The Unbinding, the first stage of this work. The second you can see a rule, you get a choice: is this mine? Do I want to keep it?Your homework: one rule, one week. Then come into our free community and tell us which rule you're rewriting. We'll hold it with you, that's what we do in there: https://thefemininerebellion.com/communitybell hooks wrote that learning to love our female selves is where our search for love must begin. This episode is what that looks like in real life. One rule. Rewritten. By you.Loved this episode? A 5-star review is how another woman finds this show. Thirty seconds, and it matters. And send this one to the woman who still manages everybody's mood; she needs it.

91. The Cornell 7 and the Boys We're Still Raising (with Cindy Pierce)
This episode contains frank discussion of porn culture, sexual assault, and child sexual abuse, approached with care and for educational purposes. Listener discretion advised. If you or someone you love needs support, please reach out to a licensed mental-health professional or a crisis resource in your area.If you're talking about the Cornell 7 in terms of consent training, you are missing the damn plot. Consent training isn't wrong. It's about thirteen years too late. By the time our boys are five, they've already learned the rules of patriarchal world culture: you have to exert power OVER someone else. Women are worth less. Vulnerability is weakness. And you belong by making someone else feel smaller.Last week I could have worn a hole in the carpet of my office trying to put words to my rage. I have two daughters, 21 and 22, and a son who's a freshman in college. I am smack dab in the middle of this conversation. So I reached out to Cindy Pierce. We'd been introduced, but we weren't close, and she's the only woman I know who is a true expert in this. I laid on my couch, we talked for an hour, and when we hung up I thought... fuck. I wish I'd recorded that. So I texted her over the weekend, and we did.Cindy goes INTO fraternities and sororities for a living. For 22 years she's been in real, deep conversations with these kids, so when she tells you what's really behind this, she's not guessing. She's hearing it from them. And the first thing she'll tell you: our kids can recite consent in their sleep. That was never the missing piece.Go listen. And then send it to every mom of a son you know.What you'll hear:🔥 Why consent education isn't failing for lack of repetition, and what actually makes it vanish under social pressure🔥 The default sexuality educator raising our kids (hint: it's not us), what it's teaching them, and how to interrupt it without shame🔥 Boys' drama is real: group chat kings, targets, and the daily survival pressure nobody is allowed to name, plus the masks underneath ("that's safety in numbers, that's fear dressed up as strength")🔥 Compliance training: be into it but don't be a slut, be strong but stay thin, speak up but be nice about it, and what that training costs our daughters🔥 The practical toolbox: social courage in steps, the five-minute timer talk, open-ended questions that actually work, letting kids pay consequences, and raising humans who are kind 98 percent of the time and difficult when it countsThe framework: This episode lives in The Rise. Women our age are the torch bearers, and this is the work: changing the culture our kids inherit, one kitchen table at a time.About Cindy Pierce: comic storyteller, social sexuality educator, and author. She speaks at schools, colleges, and organizations across the country (yes, she does living-room talks too), and she runs an inn in the New Hampshire woods with her husband. [Check Cindy’s website]Resources mentioned: The Mask You Live In (The Representation Project) Scarleteen Planned Parenthood and the Roo chatbotLoved this episode? Rebels Rising is where we do this work together in real time. And a 5-star review is how another torch bearer finds this show. Thirty seconds, and it matters.

90. The Questions She Never Asked Herself: Psychedelics, Midlife, and Coming Home to You (with Anne Philippi)
This episode discusses psychedelics for educational and storytelling purposes only. Nothing here is medical advice, and nothing is a recommendation to use any substance. Psychedelics remain illegal in most jurisdictions and are not safe or appropriate for everyone. The experiences described took place in legal, clinically guided settings. Please consult a licensed medical or mental-health professional before making any decisions about your health.We're back, loves. And I could not have picked a better conversation to return with. Anne Philippi spent fifteen years in the glossiest rooms in journalism; GQ, Vogue, Vanity Fair, two or three Hollywood stars a week, becoming world-class at one thing: knowing what everyone else wanted. Then came the realization that stopped her cold: "I don't ask myself any questions." What happened next after twenty years of talk therapy had circled the same stories, changed the direction of her entire life, and turned her into one of the defining voices destigmatizing psychedelic medicine.What you'll hear:🔥 Life inside the junket: Hollywood access, the Chris Pratt white-t-shirt assignment, and the slow realization that she'd become an expert on everyone but herself🔥 What twenty years of talk therapy couldn't reach — and what finally surfaced in her first guided journeys (including the vision that told her exactly what mattered to her)🔥 "I had no sense of femininity": untangling the feminine from seduction, the intergenerational erasure she traces through her family, and the jet full of powerful, feminine, zero-competition women that redefined everything🔥 Losing 80% of her friends — why real transformation reorganizes your relationships, and what authentic female support actually feels like🔥 Healthy ambition as a homecoming, the Amanda Feilding story that called her into this work, and where curious midlife women can learn more — safely, legally, and guidedThe framework: This episode lives in The Reclamation — coming home to the self that got buried under the performance.About Anne Philippi: After 15 years in high-profile journalism (GQ, Vogue, Vanity Fair), Anne founded The New Health Club in 2020, the first lifestyle-driven platform in the psychedelic space , and in 2025 launched the New Health Institute, a US-based nonprofit refining cultural narratives around psychedelics through curated Jeffersonian dinners that bring veterans, clinicians, and policymakers to one table.
