In this episode we uncover how patriarchy erased women’s pleasure from medieval medicine to Freud to today’s orgasm gap.

In this rapid-fire reaction episode, we’re listening to TikToks that will make you say wait, why aren’t we talking about this more?

From the untapped power of menstrual stem cells, to the absurd fact that female CEOs just recently outnumbered CEOs named John. We’ll also explore how men’s health impacts pregnancy outcomes (including preeclampsia and morning sickness) and how it’s literally cheaper to feed and house people than abandon them.

Therapist Laura Federico and midwife Morgan Miller join us to talk about their new book, The Cycle Book—a practical, myth-busting guide to hormone tracking and body literacy. We explore why so many women feel disconnected from their bodies, how the medical system pathologizes normal cycles, and why learning your body’s rhythm is a radical act of resistance.

In this episode, we are joined by Shanna Pearson, a leading ADHD coach and author of the upcoming book Invisible ADHD (release date 9/9/25). Together we explore the often-missed signs of ADHD in girls and women. We unpack why ADHD often looks different in women, how traits like selective mutism, emotional sensitivity, and people-pleasing can delay diagnosis, and what happens when those internalized patterns carry into adulthood. Shanna brings a powerful mix of personal vulnerability and expertise to this important conversation.

Whether you're exploring your own neurodivergence or supporting someone who is, this episode challenges assumptions and offers practical hope.

In this episode we uncover how midwives and herbalists (once trusted healers) were branded as witches in a campaign to strip women of power, land, and medical authority. We trace that legacy from witch trials to Nazi-era rollbacks of women’s rights to the ongoing failure to ratify the ERA in the U.S. The question remains: Who feels threatened when women have control over themselves?

This episode unpacks how sexism and racism are baked into modern medicine. From the late inclusion of women in medical research to the biased history of BMI and organ transplant inequality, we expose how systems built around male and white norms continue to harm women and people of color.

Sometimes resistance looks like a spider plant, a pair of pants, or a tampon in your purse.

This episode uncovers the feminist history hiding in everyday life—houseplants, bicycles, tampons, and kitchen tables. From Victorian parlors to queer plant havens, we trace how women turned care into rebellion and domestic space into power.

In this throwback-style episode, we riff on the viral “Princess Treatment vs. Bare Minimum” TikTok trend, including a flipped version where Jay asks the questions.

We also dive into candid roleplaying where Katie becomes a guy who just doesn’t get it and Jay responds in real time.

To close, we get honest about white privilege—specifically, how much privilege Katie holds as a white woman compared to women of color—and how feminism has helped shine a light on that privilege.

Why do so many men shut down emotionally - and what is the cost of that silence, not just for men, but for the women who love them?

In this episode, we welcome our very first male guest: Owen Marcus. A leader in men’s emotional development and author of Grow Up: A Man’s Guide to Masculine Emotional Intelligence.

We unpack:

-Why emotional shutdown isn’t a flaw—it’s a nervous system survival response

-Tools for men to better express their emotional experiences

-The emotional labor women take on when men can’t express themselves

-What healthy masculinity actually looks like when men feel safe enough to feel

This conversation is not about blaming men—it’s about breaking the cycle.

If you’ve ever loved a man who felt distant, frozen, or “fine” on the surface but unreachable underneath—this one’s for you.

– Grow Up by Owen Marcus
