This week on Let’s Talk Love we’re joined by feminist life coach, Robin Clark. Robin’s work empowers women to break free from good girl conditioning. She doesn't believe any of us came here to be "nice women" and is the first one to give you permission to set that aside and say or do what’s true for you.

Together we explore how gender roles, anger suppression, and relationship dynamics can impact women.  Robin gives us actionable tools for overcoming patriarchal dynamics ingrained in many of our behaviors and relationships.  This is an empowering discussion about healing from patriarchal conditioning and how we can use anger in a healthy way to fuel positive changes in life.
