TW: domestic violence and narcissistic abuse.

She escaped with a two-month-old baby, two suitcases, and no plan. Just the certainty that staying would kill her.

In this episode, Jessi sits down with Katre Keinast, founder of the Stronger Me Bootcamp and women's empowerment advocate, to talk about what it actually takes to leave a narcissistic and domestically abusive relationship when you're an immigrant, alone, and up against a court system that doesn't believe you.

They talk about why leaving is often the most dangerous moment, what narcissistic abuse really looks like before it turns physical, and how Katre went on to build a community of 800,000 survivors, and why the end of that chapter brought both grief and unexpected relief.

Plus: cheetahs, Glennon Doyle, Taylor Swift, and why fitness might be the most underrated tool for reclaiming yourself.

She had seven children, ran a shop, and still found time to change Finnish law.

In this episode of Angry Women in History, Jessi and Jose dig into the life of Minna Canth: Finland's first feminist writer, playwright, and professional thorn in the side of the establishment.

They talk about how one play sparked a national debate and actually changed legislation, why she was called "controversial" for saying things that were simply true, and what a 19th century argument about prostitution has to do with Sigmund Freud.

Plus: the industrial revolution, deepfake porn, and why Minna Canth always looks slightly annoyed in photos. Honestly, same.

You did everything right. Updated the CV, worked on your mindset, kept applying. And still nothing.

In this episode, Jessi sits down with Erica Terranova, Head of Growth at Moomin Characters and self-proclaimed daughter of rage, to talk about what immigrants (especially women) are really up against when looking for work in Finland.

They talk about systemic racism in hiring, why female immigrants are being pushed into entrepreneurship, and why no amount of mindset shifts or CV tweaks can fix a structurally unfair system.

Plus: marketing girlies, coding history, and why female anger might be the most underrated career tool you have.
