Pssst… "The Man" wants you to think HIS power is the only kind that matters!
This podcast is a space for the rebels, the deep thinkers, and those who know that the world we’re living in wasn’t built to support true connection, healing, or emotional freedom.
In this episode, we’re breaking down the power dynamics that shape our relationships, families, and even the systems that claim to help us (looking at you, mental health care system 👀). Patriarchal power structures are hurting all of us—whether you’re navigating heterosexual relationships, queer partnerships 🏳️🌈, or just trying to make sense of your identity in a world that constantly tells you to shrink to fit its mold.
It's about time we had some real talk about how we can heal relationships, break free from the toxic masculine/feminine divides, and embrace a new way of living—one where empathy, shared power, and vulnerability aren’t weaknesses but strengths! 💪
So, if you’re ready to unlearn the patterns keeping you stuck and start building relationships rooted in mutual respect and balance ⚖️, this is the episode for you.
We’re just getting started, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us. Make sure to subscribe, share, and stay tuned for more episodes that dig deep into how “The Man” is keeping us all in check—and how we can fight back with a little bit of trauma-competent therapy, and a whole lot of unconditional love. ❤️

What is Therapy Made Me a Feminist?
Welcome to Therapy Made Me a Feminist, a channel where evidence-based practices meet personal stories about healing and finding joy after adversity. I’m a feminist therapist with lived experience navigating a high-demand religion—specifically, the LDS (Mormon) church—and I’ve seen firsthand how it affects mental health. Growing up in a mixed-faith family and conservative regions like Utah, Oklahoma, and Texas, I’ve faced my own mental health challenges, especially the weight of religious and cultural shame.
In this series, I explore the impact of patriarchal systems on mental well-being, especially within tightly-knit, faith-based communities. My goal is to uncover how these systems, often deeply ingrained in conservative cultures, affect all individuals, regardless of gender. From my therapeutic work here in Utah to my personal journey, I’m here to share insights on healing and navigating these complex spaces.
