This one’s for the women who won’t stay quiet.

Hey Reader,

Season 2 of Roar drops Monday—and I promise, it’s worth the wait.

In Season 2, I’m talking to women who aren’t just showing up—they’re shaking things up. From political journalists to femtech founders, musicians to movement makers, every guest has one thing in common:
They’re done waiting for permission.

It’s timely, too.

Just this week, Senator Cory Booker gave a 25-hour speech on the Senate floor calling out injustice, pleading for truth, and reminding all of us that silence isn't neutral—it’s a choice. He said what so many people feel: These are not normal times in our nation, and they should not be treated as such.”

That spirit runs through my conversation with Jennifer Bendery in our kickoff episode to season 2.

Jennifer is a fierce political journalist who’s spent her career holding power to account and asking the questions many people are afraid to.

She’s smart. Sharp. And she’s saying the quiet parts out loud.

If you’re tired of feeling like the world is on fire and no one’s talking about it—you’ll want to hear what she has to say. (Here's a little glimpse of the episode!)
