Rage Against the Audacity

Rage Against the Audacity

Rage Against the Audacity is a podcast about toxic family dynamics, emotionally immature parents, emotional labor, family estrangement, and the audacity epidemic of grown adults who never learned to manage their own feelings. No therapy speak. No toxic positivity. No "just communicate better" advice. Just validation for the self aware, the empath, the family scapegoat tired of being everyone's emotional janitor.

You're not ambushed by it. But you deserve to know it's there. **---I did the viral thing. I let ChatGPT roast this channel. The feedback was fair, thorough, and a little bit hilarious, and it led to some real changes in how this show operates.
