The Dr. Valerie Podcast

Candid conversations with women entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders about living, loving, and creating in the patriarchal culture—where it's never been safe for a woman to be visible or powerful. If you feel like you're running into an invisible inner wall when you reach for more happiness and fulfillment; if you've tried just about every strategy, self-help, therapy, and still something is missing—you want to be in on these conversations. Your host, Dr. Valerie Rein, has discovered the origin of the invisible inner wall—and it is not personal. It is rooted in the collective feminine experience of millennia of oppression imprinted in women's DNA, which she termed Patriarchy Stress Disorder® (PSD). We hope this discovery will be a game-changer for you and the tools and strategies we share on this show will help you unlock your ultimate success and happiness and fully embody your true beauty and your true power.

In today’s episode, Dr. Valerie has a guest! Brooke Adams Law is a writer, writing teacher, and retreat leader. Brooke uses writing as a tool to help women step into sovereignty.

 

In her programs and writing workshops, she teaches the art of reclaiming your voice and rewriting your stories. Her novel, Catchlight, won the Fairfield Book Prize in 2019 and is now available on  Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Catchlight delves into the theme of intergenerational trauma, asking the question "Who are we without our memory?".

 

Brooke listened to her authentic wisdom and said YES to her desire to join Dr. Valerie’s programs, The Thriving Solution & The Thriving Circle. Since then, a lot has changed in herself, her life, and her work and mission in the world.

 

For the next few days, Dr. Valerie is inviting powerful women who are ready to experience that deep transformation on this journey to freedom, pleasure, intimacy, love, and authentic expression, just like Brooke did.
