Escape the Strong Woman Trap

Escape the Strong Woman Trap takes a hard look at the cultural beliefs and political landscape that sets strong, driven, ambitious women up for a life spent constantly saving others from themselves, filling in gaps, and going it alone like a hybrid of Wonder Woman and Working Girl. Part social commentary, part empowerment anthem, Escape The Strong Woman Trap gets real about the double bind women put themselves in trying to prove their worth while playing a rigged game not their own making. To get what you really want out of life you need to learn how to Escape the Strong Woman Trap.

    Episode 2--One of the Boys

    Ever hear women say they don't want to be called feminists because they don't want to be thought of as victims? Ever been told that the secret to getting ahead is being one of the boys? Ever wonder why both those things are f****d?

    Episode 1--It Can Happen Here

    It can happen here. The small acts of tyranny and terror that we say yes to in service of being "reasonable" or to just get along give way to greater tyrannies and terrors. The events of today shouldn't come as a surprise if we look at how we as women have been trained to respond all along.
