It all started with one word: hysteria. Did you know it comes from the Greek word for uterus? And that for centuries, women with depression or anxiety were diagnosed with a "wandering uterus"? Yeah. It's dumb.

In this episode, Lynnsey and Adriana go deep on the origins of the patriarchy, how it has shaped everything from language to religion to the way we experience our own bodies, and why even the most loving, safe relationships can't fully undo what's been wired into us at a species level.

This one is real, raw, and a little bit spicy. You've been warned.

In this episode:

• The wandering uterus, hysteria, and centuries of medical gaslighting
• Women as the only species that must coexist with its natural predator (and what that actually means)
• How the patriarchy harms men too, and why toxic masculinity is everyone's problem
• The erasure of the divine feminine from religion, language, and culture
• Deconstruction from religion/patriarchy and how hard it really is to rewire
• Why we're not asking for a matriarchy, we're asking for divine balance

We want to hear from you!

• What was the moment in this episode that made you go "wait, WHAT?"
• Do you think biological rewiring from thousands of years of patriarchy is reversible in our lifetime?
• Men listening: how do you feel navigating these conversations? We genuinely want to know.
• Would you prefer an all X-chromosome species or do you need the diversity? 😂
