feminine rage, policing behaviour & how culture shapes expression - ep 15

this week’s episode dives into feminine rage, policing other people’s behaviour, and how culture shapes the way we express emotion. meg grew up in a repressed aussie-irish household where women weren’t “supposed” to get angry, while erica’s hungarian upbringing was the complete opposite — expressive, loud, and unapologetic.

we talk about what happens when anger is discouraged, how it shows up later in life, and why letting yourself feel it can actually be freeing. there’s also a mini rant on diet culture, some personal updates, and our current hyperfixations (as always).

if you’ve ever been told you’re “too much” or struggled to express yourself without guilt, this one’s for you.
