Ladies, here is the missing link to why women constantly feel “not enough”! It’s called Patriarchy Stress Disorder and it has blown my mind and expanded my heart in huge ways. You’re going to love today’s podcast featuring the incredible Dr. Valerie. 

Dr. Valerie Rein 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 bestselling book, Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Inner Barrier to Women’s Happiness and Fulfillment has been heralded by Amazon reviewers as "the most important body of literary work of our modern times" and "perhaps the most important book of the century for women." Her cutting-edge programs have helped thousands of women shift from survival to thriving and master the game of "How good can it get?" in their work and personal lives. More about Dr. Valerie at https://www.drvalerie.com/

In this episode, we explore: 

• The invisible trauma that all women carry, even when they feel like they don’t have any big childhood trauma
• How your DNA expression is ruling your subconscious...and your beliefs and actions
• Why women are feeling deeply unfulfilled and dissatisfied even when we supposedly have it all...food in the fridge, shelter, and even careers we love
• The 5-step system to authentic freedom so you can ponder “how good can it get?”

The notorious RBG, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, was one of only 4 women to ever sit on the Supreme Court of the United States. Women make up only 3% of justices (4 out of 114) and it’s thanks to RBG that we enjoy so many rights as women. Today we celebrate her and honor her legacy.  

Listen in to explore: 

• The history of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and why she was such a badass
• How to honor her legacy with inspired actions to take now: 
  • Watch the RBG movie and bask in her glow
  • Sign the MoveOn.org petition to not fill her seat until after the election: 
  • Contact Senators that are most likely to block a confirmation:  Mitt Romney of Utah and Charles E. Grassley of Iowa may be possible dissenters, too, as might Cory Gardner of Colorado. You can contact each of these senators' offices and tell them why you think it's important to postpone the confirmation until after the election.
  • Call all these senators who said they would block voting in a supreme court justice in an election year
  • Donate to organizations that are working to replace Republican Senators such as Flip the Senate or Swing Left. 
  • Donate and become a member of American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) 
  • Help organizations like Families Belong Together  fight for immigrant rights and follow me on Instagram and Facebook, as I’m working with a local group to plan a vigil for those in ICE custody

This is the final episode of the Aging with Grace Series and I’m so excited to have Jennifer Arthurton on the show. Jennifer is the founder of Old Chicks Know Sh*t, a website, and podcast, that explores the topic of aging with humor and grace. Jennifer had her own midlife reinvention at the age of 50 when she found herself divorced, an empty-nester, unemployed, and bedridden with a serious illness. She knows how daunting it can feel when all the messaging in our culture is telling us that we have somehow become a diminished version of our former selves just because we've reached a certain age.  The truth is we are in fact just coming into the most powerful point in our lives. 

In this episode, we explore: 

• The lost years of womanhood and how to find yourself during them
• How to stand in your power in midlife and beyond
• The way to stop downplaying your accomplishments and embrace your wisdom instead
