Welcome back to the Feral Podcast, where we explore what it means to heal, reclaim, and come home to yourself. 🌿

In this episode, we follow Rebecca’s journey from Hella to Gezellig — from chaos, overdrive, and burnout into the grounded, cozy sovereignty of her true self.

This conversation is especially for the women who know this path well:

• 💎 Late-diagnosed, neurodivergent, first-born daughters

• 🌿 Raised in high-control religious systems and/or narcissistic family dynamics

• ❤️ Who have spent their lives healing themselves and others, carrying wisdom forged in fire

We talk about:

• 🔥 Breaking the cycle of overcommitment, ADHD overwhelm, and nervous system shutdown

• 🌿 How to move from chaotic hustle to cozy presence (why gezellig is more than “cozy”)

• 💎 The shift from survival mode to sovereign embodiment

• ⚡ What happens when lifelong healers finally reclaim their own energy and rhythm

If you’ve devoted yourself to holding everyone else together, this episode offers both relief and recognition. You are not alone — and there’s a gentler, more sovereign way forward.

So many of us have masked just to belong — especially in spaces where, deep down, we never truly fit. Our nervous systems got wired to stay “good,” keep the peace, and disappear. Evelyn’s story is a Towanda moment. By choosing herself over invisibility, she gently retrained her body and her boundaries to feel safe being seen.

The result? A life where she’s fully present, vibrant, and center stage in her own story — while still holding the relationships that matter most. In this episode, we explore:

🌿 How “good girl” conditioning shows up in the nervous system

💌 Why real community helps us feel safe and seen

✨ The difference between masking for survival vs. showing up as ourselves

🤝 How choosing visibility can actually deepen connection This one’s for every ex-good girl who’s ready to stop disappearing — and start belonging.

What happens when a woman trades her divine spark for proximity to power? Serena Joy thought she could bend the knee and stay safe — but in the end, she built the very leash that strangled her.

In this first episode of Feral Podcast, Lori Randall Stradtman uses Serena Joy as a case study in internalized misogyny and the cost of self-erasure. Through cultural critique and critical discourse analysis, Lori connects the story world of The Handmaid’s Tale to the lived reality of dangerous women today: late-diagnosed ADHD, firstborn daughters, women raised in high-control religions and/or narcissistic family systems.

✨ What you’ll hear:
– Why Serena Joy embodies the trap of bending the knee for belonging
– How internalized misogyny builds cages instead of safety nets
– The psychology of collapse and scapegoating
– Why oxytocin (not fear) is the nervous system’s true regulator
– What it actually means to be a dangerous woman in 2025

This is where deconstruction meets dangerous women. Together, we decode cultural scripts, expose control patterns, and transmute them into sovereign power.
