The Patriarchy, Pain & Uncovering our Desires with Dr. Valerie Rein

In this episode, I have the honor of interviewing my mentor, Dr. Valerie Rein, author of "Patriarchy Stress Disorder" (if you don't already own it, go buy it now!). This episode is full of richness as we dive into how understanding the patriarchy is actually crucial for our healing journey. Next we explore intergenerational trauma, some misconceptions in the self help world on what it means to be authentic, and then lastly, dive into what it means to pursue desires - and how to even tell if the desires are true to you, or just another manifestation of a "should" we place our ourselves. This conversation was SO SO good & I cannot WAIT for you to get to listen in! Dr. Valerie Rein is a psychologist and women’s mental health expert who has discovered Patriarchy Stress Disorder (PSD) and created the only science-backed system for helping women achieve their ultimate success, happiness, and fulfillment by healing the intergenerational trauma of oppression. She holds an EdM in Psychological Counseling from Columbia University and a PhD in Psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. Her #1 Amazon bestselling book, “Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Inner Barrier to Women’s Happiness and Fulfillment” has been heralded by reviewers as "the most important body of literary work of our modern times" and "perhaps the most important book of the century for women." Dr. Valerie's cutting-edge programs have helped thousands of women shift from “how much can I bear?” to “how good can it get?", from survival to thriving, in their work and personal lives.
