"Remember Who the F*ck You Are!" You're 90 mins Away From NEVER Being Manipulated or Silenced again! PT 1

You know those times when you KNOW something is wrong, but everyone around you gaslights you into thinking it's all “in your head”? Or when a woman finally speaks up about abuse, only to be dismissed as “crazy” by her family, the police, even doctors? Homie, grab a pen: This one is going to drop truths that might just save a life.

I'm sitting down with the powerhouse psychologist and best-selling author, Dr. Jessica Taylor. She’s known for her unfiltered work helping women who have experienced abuse, writing bombshell books like Why Women Are Blamed for Everything and Sexy But Psycho, and training police and legal pros on the REAL ways women get silenced by the mental health system. Jessica is here to break down why the quickest way to shut a woman up is to call her “mad”, and exactly how this dangerous narrative gets weaponized against women who speak out.

We tackle why society is obsessed with pathologizing women, how the court system often falls for it, the horrifying old-school roots of “hysteria,” and how women start to believe these lies about themselves (sometimes with deadly results). And trust me, Dr. Jessica Taylor is about to shatter every stereotype you think you knew.
