In this candid episode of 'Beyond What Hurts Us,' Kristen and Leslie get real about the ways misogyny rears its ugly head in our everyday lives. Whether it's the most powerful man in office, the obnoxious character at the bar, or sometimes even the men we share our beds with, women have been dealing with the likings of women-hating behaviors since the beginning of time.

This week, we invite you to join us on a personal journey of healing from misogyny while pondering a pressing question: 'Why are we so pissed off?' We'll closely examine how men in positions of power have exerted their influence over our every move, and how women have not always enjoyed the freedom to lead safe, autonomous lives.

Consider this: Women in the United States couldn't open their own bank accounts until the 1970s – a relatively recent revelation that might startle you. This episode pays tribute to the women who paved the way before us, enduring the unjust hardships of navigating a predominantly male world.

We'll also delve into the emotional toll of code-switching, the art of adapting to diverse environments to make our relationships work. Through relatable anecdotes and real-life stories, we'll illuminate practical steps to heal from the pervasive impact of misogyny in our daily existence. Together, we'll navigate the path towards more equitable relationships and create an inclusive world that speaks to everyone's experiences.
