Rage Becomes Her with author Soraya Chemaly

We have both learned that achieving goals does not increase our value. And expecting ourselves to start new things and go hard in January is stupid. Join me, Marcella Hill and my sister Sharon Johnson as we chat about our new views on setting goals. Trusting Flow vs. Goal Setting Don't Set Goals to Increase Your Value Presence over Doing Hope this episode inspires you to rethink your goals and enjoy being present rather than chasing things to become better. You already are whole as you are. We will all forever be incomplete, so sit back and enjoy whatever ride you want.

Join us sisters, Sharon Johnson and Marcella Hill, as we chat with author Kelly Barnhill about massive life transformations and how to survive and thrive after the unexpected happens. What happens when large parts of how we define ourselves go missing? If you are a writer and can no longer write, who are you? If you are a wife and no longer a wife, who are you? If your body is failing you, who are you? We discuss the power of anger and how to use it. The healing magic of radical acceptance and curiosity. Kelly reads one of my favorite passages from the book that displays how I was feeling in my own body during the beginning of Perimenopause. "It's just too damn small in here!" She is a former teacher, former bartender, former waitress, former activist, former park ranger, former secretary, former janitor and former church-guitar-player. The sum of these experiences have prepared her for exactly nothing – save for the telling of stories, which she has been doing quite happily for some time now. She received the Newbery Medal in 2017, as well as fellowships from the Jerome Foundation and the Minnesota State Arts Board, and the McKnight Foundation. She is the winner of the World Fantasy Award, the Parents Choice Gold Award, the Texas Library Association Bluebonnet, and a Charlotte Huck Honor. She also was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award, the Andre Norton Award and the PEN/USA literary prize. She has been on the New York Times bestseller list for a bunch of weeks now, as well as the Indie Besteller list.  She is the author of the novels THE GIRL WHO DRANK THE MOON, THE WITCH’S BOY, IRON HEARTED VIOLET and THE MOSTLY TRUE STORY OF JACK, as well as the novella, “The Unlicensed Magician”.  Grab a cozy blanket, snuggle up and enjoy being read to and listening to a story that will inspire you to use your creativity to turn rage into art that can inspire change.

Women are not allowed to be angry. We don't know how to be angry. Yet, our society has created enraged women. I discuss RAGE with the author of Rage Becomes Her, Soraya Chemaly. Soraya Chemaly is an award-winning writer and media critic whose writing appears regularly in national and international media including The Atlantic, The Nation, Verge, Quartz, TIME, Salon, The Guardian and The New Statesman.  Her book was part of the beginning of my awakening to realize how much work there is still to be done for women to live in a world where we feel safe. Why is anger allowed for boys but not girls? How can we teach girls to feel and use their anger? Where is this anger coming from? What to do with our anger?

I am asking all the uncomfortable questions about our BUTTS! I just had hemorrhoid surgery and I want to know everything I can to avoid going through that again. More than 50% of humans are living with the discomfort of hemorrhoids and we are all too embarrassed to talk about it. We don't know where to go for help and we don't even know who to ask or how to ask about it. Let's talk about what causes all the pain. But also how to make it pretty. We have a new vibrance for life after 40, we are getting crazy in the bedroom, or we are newly on the market after a divorce and we are done putting up with all the pain of assholes. Dr. Beth A. Moor is a colon and rectal surgeon in Beverly Hills, California and is affiliated with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
