Here's a surprising fact.

Most women aren't afraid of telling the truth.

They're afraid of what telling the truth will cost them.

Their reputation, their safety, their community, their sense of belonging.

They called her bitter exists because those fears are learned and they're enforced.

This podcast is about those moments when that silence

stops working, when carrying the weight of the story becomes heavier than being misunderstood.

When women decide that clarity is worth the risk, we talk about faith and fallout, power, and abuse. When women are brave

enough to say, that wasn't okay. If you've ever been warned, the naming harm would make you

cynical, angry, or bitter. If you were told that your questions were the problem, this space is for you,

because bitterness isn't a failure.

It's the beginning of sight.

And once you see clearly, you can't go back.

They called her Bitter, a collaborative podcast production by Sarah Bader with Sons of Patriarchy

and Margaret Bronson of Deconstructing Dulas coming February 19th.
