About this listen

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.
