  • please talk about

    Please talk about the personal effects of suppression of anger within the intimacy of family culture not just the wider culture. Dynamics that "allow" one person to express anger, (usually a parent) and express without regard for others. All other family members (particularly females) are not given permission for response or expression. This form of suppression which becomes oppressive is particular and significant within the culture of the family.

  • Life-changing!

    Authentic, wise, funny and heartbreaking. Listening to these women makes me feel like I’m not alone. It’s like having best friends who don’t judge and always give the best advice ( whilst also sharing their own vulnerabilities which is not always the case with friends in real life ;)Thank you Salima and Jennie! 🙏🙌♥️
