How patriarchy and politics divide women—and how somatic healing can rebuild connection.

In this episode, I explore why so many women are cutting off friendships post-election and how historical and patriarchal conditioning contribute to loneliness and division. I share somatic tools to help you process emotions, have tough conversations, and rebuild trust in your friendships.

In this episode, I’m digging into the far-reaching impacts of Roe v. Wade being overturned—going way beyond the loss of abortion access. We’re talking about how this decision is reshaping maternal care, mental health, and healthcare inequities in the U.S., especially for marginalized communities.

I’m pulling insights from studies that show just how deeply these changes are hitting women’s health, families, and even the medical professionals trying to navigate restricted care.
