Let's talk about all the rage

Not the throw-a-chair kind (although, some days… tempting), but the quiet, simmering, flies-in-your-office-make-you-snap kind. The rage that builds when you’re juggling work, kids, hormones, ageing parents and trying to be brilliant at everything - with no one really noticing how bloody hard you’re working.

This week’s podcast episode hit a nerve - in the best way.

I sat down with Jennifer Cox, psychotherapist and bestselling author of Women Are Mad - and honestly, I could have talked to her for hours. Her book was named the Times Self-Help Book of the Year and it’s easy to see why. It’s raw, honest and finally gives language to that low-level fury so many of us carry but rarely voice.

We talk about:

• The moment the penny drops and you realise: it’s all on me

• How postnatal depression, midlife meltdown and pandemic loneliness are all connected

• Why women’s health is suffering (and what suppressed resentment’s got to do with it)

• What happens when we stop gatekeeping and start lifting each other

• And the real reason women aren’t “less resilient” — they’re just bloody done pretending

This episode is funny, emotional and fiercely real. It’s for the women doing it all. The women who’ve had enough. The women who want more, without burning themselves to the ground.

And if it hits home - I’d bloody love it if you could share it with the women you know, you know so I can be world famous. And I’d love to know what you think of the episode.

And in the meantime, let’s stop performing perfect. Because the rage? It’s not a problem. It’s a message - but you already know that.
