Show Notes:
In this raw, unfiltered, and powerful episode of Fly to Freedom, I sit down with Jennifer Cox, psychotherapist, co-host of the global hit Women Are Mad podcast, and author of the award-winning book Women Are Angry: Why Your Rage is Hiding and How to Let it Out.


Jennifer brings her unrelenting passion to the conversation as we dive into the hidden emotional cages women are placed in, the societal pressures to suppress anger, and the real-life consequences of internalised emotions.

From sharing her experiences as a therapist to unpacking her personal journey, Jennifer holds nothing back as we tackle tough questions about feelings, boundaries, and the untapped power of rage when it’s expressed in healthy, transformative ways.
