Women Are Mad

By: Women Are Mad
  • Summary

  • Anger is the one emotion that women aren’t allowed to express. Meanwhile, everything is making us furious. This podcast is about getting women's anger into everyday conversation, and lifting the lid on what we’re all feeling. Each week, psychotherapist Jennifer Cox and actress and writer Salima Saxton invite a brilliant woman to talk about what makes them mad. Salima and Jennifer believe when it comes to anger, ‘better out than in’, and instead of repressing this emotion we should welcome it as a fuel for female-kind. With the Women Are Mad podcast, women finally have a place to bring this uncomfortable emotion. It’s a space to laugh about anger and to learn from it, but definitely not ignore it. Follow us on @womenaremad on instagram and tell us what makes you mad. Jen's book, Women Are Angry: Why Your Rage Is Hiding And How To Let It Out is AVAILABLE NOW! Published by Bonnier and available from all booksellers.
