Growing up in a house filled with dirty feather boas and fearless mice, Emi Nietfeld dreams of escaping to the Ivy League. Emi’s single mom believes in her, but can’t stop hoarding—catapulting Emi into the underworld of troubled teen treatment, foster care, and homelessness.

Eight years later, she is the founder, CEO, and creative director of Nasty Gal, a $100 million plus online fashion retailer with more than 350 employees.

What if a lifetime of being told to repress anger, hide it away and fear it, has shown up in your body in a myriad of ways you can't control?

Women are never allowed to really express their anger, and it is making us all mad. From toddlerdom when girls are conditioned to be 'good' and not make a fuss, to the sandwich years of midlife when the burden of myriad responsibilities is overwhelming, women's anger is hidden, repressed and toxic.

“Masculinity Is Not Something Given To You, But Something You Gain. And You Gain It By Winning Small Battles With Honor.” - Norman Mailer Today, a man's largest problem is frequently more significant than his struggle with himself and his daily worries. The largest struggle a man has in a culture that doesn't value manhood is the bitterness he feels for not being recognized and rewarded for all he does to support his wife, his family, and society as a whole.
