Ranting and Raving and Leaning On One Another: How We're Getting Through This Election

Welcome to Episode 14 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In this week's episode, we address the elephant in the room: the election happening in the U.S. on Tuesday. While we intended to focus on ways to care for ourselves and one another during challenging times, we also needed a space to rant and rave about how the cages appear to be strengthening and multiplying rather than dismantling.

We dive into...
- How many of us are struggling during this time and how the heck are we supposed to get through the next few days
- Why obsessively following the news isn't helping
- How we are seeing stress and anxiety with our clients
- How the United States can be an indicator of where tides are turning world wide
- Odessa, Texas' transgender bathroom bounty law
- Why this election is deeply personal
- The importance of figuring out ways to move forward and how that requires us to stay resourced
- How having a safe space to cry or rage is vital, as is claiming our joy
- The importance of sisterhood and relationship
- How misogyny is the undercurrent of many of our conversations on reproductive rights
- How the reality of abortion differs from the stories that are told
- Why the standard idea of caring for ourselves isn't enough; we need to care for and with one another
- The importance of getting in touch with your anger

Correction:
Linda misspoke. The party in Sweden she was referring to is actually called the Sweden Democrats.
