The Pot Stirrers

Welcome to The Pot Stirrers, a virtual feminist supper and book club for anyone who wants to make soup and also burn the patriarchy to the ground (metaphorically, mostly).

I'm Lauren, a feminist therapist, and I started this club after a lot of you told me you were feeling the same two urges I was: to get cozy and feed people, and to be absolutely furious about how women are treated. You get to do both here.

How it works:

❤️‍🔥 We meet once a month over video on the last Sunday of the month from 7-8:30 pm ET

❤️‍🔥 Bring a bowl of soup, or whatever you've got

❤️‍🔥 We talk about the reading, and probably everything else that's making us mad

What we read:

Feminist nonfiction, essays, memoirs, and novels, with a focus on authors from underrepresented communities.

Membership:

Membership is $5 a month, which covers the platform. If you come to your first gathering and it's not for you, I'll refund you, no questions asked. If $5 is a stretch right now, message me and I'll set you up with a free spot.

Club guidelines:

Cis women, trans women, and nonbinary folks are all welcome in this club. Trans women are women. Transphobia, racism, and "just asking questions" will get you removed, with no warnings and no debates.

Come as you are, cameras on or off. You don't have to finish the reading to show up. Keep what people share in the club, in the club.

And one important note: this is a book club and won't be a substitute for therapy. I may be a therapist, but at soup night I'm off the clock. If you're struggling, please reach out to a therapist or call or text 988.
