Armenian Women Empowerment

My whole life in retail I used to hear people say that as a response to how are you doing? The response was always, I’m better than I should be. Well now I understand that and that of the human potential to thrive up and out of any situation. It’s uncanny! But here it is, appropriately titled, I’m better than I should be. Happy listening!

Encouragement goes a long way. If we aren’t encouraging toward each other as Armenian women, then what are we? Just like everyone else in the world that demeans and bemoans the woman in general, don’t be that! Let’s uplift in every way and encourage each other to move forward and ahead even in the most precarious of times. I recently moved across state and felt the love and encouragement of friend...

You hear me say all the time on this podcast that we need to support each other! Armenian women are supported by the strength within them and the support and acknowledgment of others and from others. Be a good feminist!

Why don’t we feel comfortable with apologizing appropriately? Why do we sorry shame each other? If a kid says sorry, then probably truly are but we want MORE! We can’t stop at sorry, and that’s where the shame lies. Saying sorry is underrated and undervalued. Say it and feel happy immediately. Say it and get it out of the way and open to make better relationships happen for you!

Manifest your voice and look for inspiration from everywhere. Recently I was inspired by my child who said just enough to get me going on what I needed to do. You too can find that when you put the energy out there to gain a voice for something that needs to be spoken, your truth and your will, that comes up for you at just the right time. Don’t ignore the signs, don’t brush them off and do speak...

It’s Armenian Independence Day and also mine!! Five years ago I became an independent empowered Armenian women. Taking control of our choices and decisions to become a better version of ourselves is never a bad thing. Keep striving for a better version of you and don’t settle for anything less. Happy Independence Day!

Why do we have 50 ways to say you’re fat but not the same or more to say your healthy and fit? We have a way about us, especially the old Armenian aunties that can uplift or drop us in a heart beat. Let’s make the most of our words and choose kindness over back handed compliments and flat out insults. Let’s choose to say something good about eachother!

Great time to take care of yourself and the mothers in your life. Do something different and off the grid today with some pampering tips that cost little to no money at all! It’s about you mothers and Armenian mothers are the most empowered!

It’s kind of interesting how I started this podcast out on a Sunday and on Monday our world was rocked by the Supreme Court leaked opinion on a woman’s right to choose. This podcast isn’t really about that, but I don’t think there are coincidences in the world. This podcast was certainly meant to be in the energies this week. Let’s always try to protect and keep our right to choose anything as we...

My grandparents who survived the Armenian genocide were courageous to have gone through that chaos. So grateful to them for being here today and to be able to continue the courageous journey throughout my life. Never forget where you come from and what you’re made of. 🇦🇲

In this episode we unpack a lot of issues with regard to how women are encouraged, uplifted and celebrated in the Armenian community. The fact of the matter is we do more to endorse the same folks all the time and if you don’t know or aren’t related to them, you’re out of luck! It’s time to diversify. Also up for discussion today is how we need to put the Armenian women first in the April 24th pro...

A slap in the face has exploded all over the earth and all I could think about was how I could have used a will smith in my life once in a while. Armenian men have been less than valor full for women and the females in the family even a little less than that. There is certainly some honor to what will smith did for his wife Jada, and I’m turning Themis unpopular action on its ear to prove a point....

Lemons have a bad rap as being sour and distasteful but when added ingredients make it tasty we can ditch that old adage and start fresh! We have the tools to make that healthy lemon taste good no matter what and can utilize this method when addressing truths of our lives. Time to switch out the old adage for new!

Part 2 of the reason why having a word of the year to live by is so empowering. Listen to how my word has benefitted me already only a couple months into the new year. I’m making it easy for you to at least consider this focus on yourself by explaining the how and why! Also in this podcast, I discuss why we shouldn’t stay on the sidelines of our lives no matter what others think or say about it. T...

Stay quiet 🤫 when the toxic try to drag you into their drama. It’s common for us to take what’s given and absorb all that negativity. It’s normalized culturally to continue to spin in another’s web of junk. When you decide not to respond and to stay quiet, they listen. It’s heard loudly that you’re not going to engage. Listen for more on this and remember to have an empowered woman’s month this M...

When you failed it seems like all is lost but what’s really happening there’s an opportunity has opened up for you to now really get a hold of your goals, and push forward with that dream that nobody thinks you can succeed at getting.

Don’t let the holiday pressures eat you up this Christmas 🎄. Be yourself, be careful and conscious of who YOU want to surround you this holiday. Family pressures to be together even with family who isn’t deserving of our attention isn’t needed. Those pressures for social norms of holiday show ups needn’t be your reality. Take control and be happy in your own space with the most important persons...

All I wanted was a hair color but I got more of some colorful language at me instead. We need to stop treating each other like children who need reprimand. It’s disparaging and cruel and so very much part of our culture and it’s got to stop!

What are you grateful for? I’m grateful to my podcast listeners and people like you who empower Armenian women each and every day of the year!

Karoline knows all too well the trials and tribulations that Armenian women go through to get something done for themselves, even if it’s just a mere good nights sleep. Come with me and take a listen to this undeniably important conversation about how we encounter emotional and familial abuse of Armenian mothers. These conversations are difficult but important to have so that we can evolve and gro...

Absolutely! Gabby Pettitos unfortunate story is a mere slice of what the emotional abuser is capable of doing. Victims of emotional abuse already have life long irreversible affects to contend with but homicide terminates all chances of recovery. Do Armenians participate in this gaslighting, disparaging and otherwise abusive banter toward women? Sadly yes, and we need to call this out and check ou...
