It's Got Pockets
You know that feeling where you find that perfect dress or those bloody brilliant wide leg trousers and they have pockets, well that is what you’re going to get with my weekly podcast.
I’m bringing you real conversations. You know the ones we usually only share in whispers, in those moments when we finally let the mask slip.
I'm bringing you the stories of women who crack the feck on every single goddamn day. The ones who somehow press play even when life gets proper lifey.
It's Got Pockets
Women Are Mad (And We’ve Got Every Right to Be): With Jennifer Cox
Well, this one’s a blink stinking belter.
I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Jennifer Cox - psychotherapist, bestselling author of Women Are Mad and someone who gets it on a soul-deep level. Her book has been flying off the shelves (and rightly so), because it’s finally saying what so many of us have been feeling for years.
We’re mad. And not because we’re hormonal, irrational or overreacting. We’re mad because it’s all been on us for too damn long.
In this episode, we get right into the real stuff:
- The rage that lives in our bodies and why it needs a release
- That "WTF have I done?" moment in early motherhood
- The lonely hell of midlife, menopause and mental load
- The silent toll on women during Covid (and why no one's talking about it enough)
- And why talking about our anger isn’t dangerous - it’s necessary
We also laugh (a lot), swear (obviously) and talk about everything from kids who won’t make their bloody beds to how powerful it is when women stop gatekeeping and start lifting each other.
Jennifer’s six-word legacy?
“Make the world better for women.”
And honestly, same.
This isn’t an episode about staying angry. It’s about what happens when we finally let it out, stop apologising for feeling it and use it to build something better - for us, our daughters, and everyone coming next.
If you’ve ever shouted at your kids and then cried in the kitchen corner…
If you’ve ever wondered why you have to do it all and still feel guilty for dropping a ball…
Or if you’re just flat-out tired of holding it all together - this one’s for you.
🎧 Give it a listen. And then go buy her bloody brilliant book.
We are not broken. We are just done being quiet.
