Summary

In this episode, I unpack a viral dumpster fire of a post dripping with misogyny, projection, and unhealed wounds masquerading as “truth” (it's an absolute ridiculous word salad worth the listen). We talk incel culture, emotional labor, spiritual bypassing, and why women are tired of having to translate their pain just to be heard. This is an episode for anyone who has ever felt exhausted trying to explain their pain to someone who refused to understand it (or even hear it); for the women who are tired of carrying the emotional labor and for the men who want to do better but aren’t sure where to start. Ultimately, it's for anyone trying to make sense of why the conversation around relationships feels so broken.
