Women, Anger & Emotional Exhaustion — Jennifer Cox on the Feelings We’re Told to Hide

Описание: Why are so many women feeling exhausted, unheard, and emotionally stretched thin?

In this episode, Jennifer Cox — psychotherapist, author of Women Are Angry (Times & Sunday Times Best Self-Help Book of the Year), and co-host of Women Are Mad podcast, unpacks the emotional load women carry every day. From constantly apologising and trying to “do it all”, to the pressure of social media and public scrutiny, Jennifer explains why anger is so often misunderstood and why ignoring it can lead to anxiety, burnout, and depression.

This conversation offers practical, grounded insight into women’s mental health, helping you recognise what you’re feeling, reclaim space, and stop silencing your emotions.
