Summary

In today’s episode, Rachel answers a very specific question: does she hate men? The answer to this is… no, not all men. But the truth is, the male population as a whole is not giving women a lot to feel confident in right now. From charlatans in the healing space preying on the vulnerable, to the lack of prosecutions resulting from the Epstein files, and the shocking rape academy online, we live in a misogynistic system that is meant to protect men and allow women to be harmed and abused. But what can we actually do about it? This episode is a call for all of us - especially the “good men” out there - to step up and make a change. Have the hard conversations with your friends, say something when you see something, and don’t lay down and accept things as they are. We must make a change for our wives, our sisters, and our daughters - and it starts with doing the work in mundane moments of our own lives.
