Summary

Maybe the apocalypse isn’t what you see in the movies. It’s not power grids collapsing, fires burning everywhere, and zombies coming for us all. Instead, it looks like society being okay with abuse and asking us all to move on. In today’s episode, Rachel has entered a new level of feminine RAGE. She talks more about the abuse women and children suffer at the hands of men and the micro-aggressions from non abusers that keep us all from holding the bad men accountable. It’s time for the men to step up. Rachel’s shares hard conversations she’s had with her own husband and how you can speak to your partner about what a just and equitable world looks like. If we are going to survive the patriarchy, we need our men to listen. Tune in for an emotional and fiery episode that may be the spark we need.
