Woman Owned: The Growth Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs EP474: Patriarchy Stress Disorder with Dr. Valerie Rein
Once in a while, I will meet a female entrepreneur and author whose work really strikes me as powerful. It’s not only original, but it’s also practical and useful for other women to discover. When I first met today’s guest, I immediately recognized this in her.
Dr. Valerie Rein is a psychologist, mental health expert, and author of Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Barrier to Women’s Happiness and Fulfillment. Valerie’s amazing body of work has the power to shape culture because it is based on her own experience of patriarchal trauma, which we all experience, and how she overcame it.
Now, I know that some of you may be wondering what this topic has to do with entrepreneurship. But this podcast is for women in business, and I am passionate about advancing the conversation around women leaders beyond simply becoming more confident. Today’s conversation checks that box and will be immensely helpful for female founders to hear.
Tune in this week for my conversation with author and psychologist, Dr. Valerie Rein. Valerie shares what Patriarchal Stress Disorder is and how it can show up in women’s lives and businesses.
