Episode 45 - Why are Women so Fed Up with Gemma Hartley

On a daily basis, women shoulder much of the responsibility for meeting the needs of others. This manifests in countless ways, both at home and in the workplace. We carry the mental load required to keep our households and lives running smoothly—whether we want to or not—and this largely invisible, exhausting work is far from a typical 9-to-5. It is constant, so it’s no wonder so many women feel frustrated and depleted from pouring themselves into this often thankless role.  
 
I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with journalist Gemma Hartley and author of the book Fed Up: Emotional Labor, Women and the Way Forward to talk more about the unpaid, invisible work that has left women feeling resentful and angry. 
 
Join us in this fascinating conversation about why women are fed up and how we all (yes, you, too, men!) can create a better future for us all. Now go read the book!
 
Her new book No One Loves an Angry Woman is out in September 2026!

Episode 44 - Resentment: The Quiet Storm

As humans, one of the heaviest burdens we carry around with us is resentment. This silent but deadly emotion begins as a small seedling that we continue to brush off until it snowballs into a gigantic storm that hits hard and often spares no one.
Join me in this episode as I share some personal experiences of how resentment has affected me personally. I'm willing to bet there's something in here that resonates with you, too.

Episode 43 - Welcome Home

Anger and resentful are normal feelings for any of us to have. It’s when we get stuck in these emotions that it turns into a dangerous place to live. When we feel anger or resentment it’s our body’s way of signaling "hey, pay attention to me!" 
That's what this song, Welcome Home, encapsulates.  The desire to feel seen when you're the one at home doing the day-to-day heavy lifting.  A little gratitude goes a long way.
Join me in this episode as we explore these feelings of anger and resentment and what it can cost you if you hold on to them for too long.
