S4 E1 Poorna Bell on wrestling, real friendship and race

Women Are Mad

Poorna Bell is a gladiator.

In her real life, and also in the way she courageously handles her most painful and confronting emotions.

In this conversation, we explore Poorna's experience of her own rage, from the smallest transgressions related to parking spaces and the crush to exit planes, to the heartbreaking anguish of losing her partner to addiction. Poorna shares how her relationship with exercise, and particularly wrestling, challenges conditioned bonds of femininity, and offers her psychological release.

About our guest:

We know that you will love this woman and her work as much as we do.
