Female Rage Gets Shit Done (with Molly Darling)

Content warning: This episode contains brief mentions of suicidal ideation; they are not discussed at length or in detail. Please take care while listening. Artist, imagination doula, and mom Molly Darling joins host Emily Hessney Lynch for a wide-ranging conversation about evolving identity and how to take the leap and cross the threshold into something new. In the first half of the episode, we discuss the many lives Molly has lived before 40, faith deconstruction, divorce, and discovering she was a lesbian in her 30s. During the second half of the show, we discuss how important it is to let kids have different experiences than you, learning how to say "I fucked up and I'm sorry" to your kids, the value of female rage, and figuring out how to listen to your body and trust your own intuition rather than operating from a place of fear.
