INTRO into The Project: The Truth About Being ‘Too Emotional’

Have you ever been told you’re too emotional? That your feelings are too intense, too disruptive, too much? In this powerful debut episode of The Not Viable Project, host Shannon explores the real meaning behind the phrase that has been used to silence women for generations.Drawing from personal experience, feminist theory, psychology, and raw statistics, reveals how the label “too emotional” is less about feelings—and more about control. From workplace gaslighting and emotional suppression to the epidemic of gender-based violence, this episode examines how society weaponises emotional language to shame women, dismiss truth, and uphold power.If you’ve ever cried in the bathroom, been called dramatic, or told to calm down when all you were doing was surviving—this episode will speak directly to your fire.Send us Fan Mail
