Thank you to everyone who tuned into our live video!
The “Quiet Revolution” starts here:
Dominique and I sat down to talk about the things women are usually told to keep quiet—our desires, our exhaustion, and that “never-ending” anger we’re supposed to pretend isn’t there. We’re ditching the scripts, giving the finger to the status quo, and figuring out how to turn our rage into the fuel we need to actually be free.
Here’s the breakdown of what we covered:
Tossing Out the Scripts: We laughed about how we’ve been conditioned to accept tropes—like the “physically imposing man”—that center the male experience while leaving our own pleasure and desires in the dust.
The Bedroom vs. The Boardroom: Dominique explained her “behind closed doors” theory: that the power dynamics we deal with in our most intimate spaces are actually linked to the same power struggles we face in the outside world.
Rage Woven into DNA: We talked about a powerful story where a woman realized her rage wasn’t just a mood—it was woven into her DNA. We’ve been trained to be “nice,” but holding that fire in is literally making us sick.
Holy Rage as Soul Food: I shared why I created my Holy Rage workshop—it’s a safe space to stop apologizing for our anger and start metabolizing it into fuel for our own liberation.
Dominique’s Impolite Society: Dominique introduced us to Impolite Society her “Romance and Revolutionary Practice Learning Guild.” It’s a space where highly sensitive warriors use romance novels as a gateway to have “impolite” conversations about gender, power, and shifting the culture.
The Quiet Revolution: We agreed that for women who are already exhausted by life’s labor, the best way to rebel is often through a “quiet revolution”—starting with our own minds and the communities we build together.

Let’s chat in the comments:
That “DNA” comment really hit home for us. Does your rage ever feel like it’s part of your cellular makeup? How does that show up for you?
Where in your life are you currently “giving the finger” to the status quo—or where are you itching to start?
We talked about “quiet revolutions.” What is one small, “impolite” thing you’ve done lately that made you feel more like yourself?
