Summary
In this episode I interview psychologist, author, and speaker, Dr. Valerie Baker who pioneers healing Patriarchy Stress Disorder™ (PSD)--the trauma of 1000s of years of oppression imprinted in women's DNA.
Dr. Valerie calls PSD the invisible inner prison that keeps women from experiencing their ultimate success and happiness.
In over 20,000 hours of her work as a therapist and coach to successful women, Dr. Valerie has guided thousands of women's PSD jailbreaks. She helps high-achieving women who're sick and tired of sacrificing their health, sanity, and love lives to heal PSD so they can finally marry their professional and personal success and happiness--and fully enjoy it.

| 1:12.3 | Okay. So about a month ago, someone in a Facebook group I'm in mentioned that there was a |

| 1:29.3 | I just kind of rolled my eyes and I started to scroll on by. But then I saw the title of the series, |
| 1:36.0 | this three podcast series. And the title was patriarchy stress disorder. |
| 1:51.9 | And I got to tell you that the minute I read those words, everything shifted for me too. |
| 1:56.5 | I didn't even know what they meant, but I knew exactly what they meant. |
| 2:01.5 | Now, some of you listening, especially the women, may have felt your breath catch in your throat when you heard those words. Others may have thought, huh? So if that's the case, listen on. |
