Armenian Women Empowerment

So grateful this year for finally being out of toxic family ties on a special American holiday. Armenian women everywhere are being judged on their tday performance and that’s just sad! Empower the woman in your home making it special for you. I’m glad to be away from that scene and so should you if you have also come out of the cycle of abuse. Learn more about why I’m so grateful and my personal...

End of war rant included in this episode and we need empowered women in the GOVERNMENT HOUSE!! I mean it, we need to be entrepreneurs at the political table, not just at the business table. I’ve been promoting mostly armenian women owned business, so clearly we have a talent that is second to none. We need to continue the unity and buy Armenian so that we stay empowered and confident as a whole. W...

This has been the hardest week for Armenians everywhere to date since we lost the war. Press on we will and buying Armenian is more important than ever before. Staying unified like we have been and supporting our people monetarily is the way up and the way toward existence of us all. The world needs us and we will live on and on despite our enemies wishes for us not to.

In these three segments I advertise your made in Armenian or by Armenians business with love! It’s the least I can do of all with this horrific war going on against Armenia. We are all on the purge of buying the enemies products. With the holidays coming upon us, please take a moment to look into buying an Armenian made product/service or one that is owned by an Armenian.

Standing in my financial truth and breaking through the barriers of financial abuse. It’s been three years since I escaped financial abuse and it’s no wonder why enduring years of that can debilitate and confuse. I think Armenians spend less time on full disclosure and truth bearing in financials than they should. It’s a long time coming, but I broke through those shackles when I stood in my truth...

It’s season two and we’re in the middle of a pandemic and social justice cries out everywhere! We’re in this together theme for 2020 doesn’t end with Armenians everywhere educating, promoting awareness and reporting on the attacks on Artsahk RIGHT NOW as I write this. We will not back down in our efforts to get stuff done! Packing plane with humanitarian aid, hosting fundraising challenges, and mo...

You won’t want to miss this one as it will empower with knowledge about how you’re vote matters. We are stressed out about the unwanted, unwarranted war against us in our homelands and here in America is no different. We want the best for our people and the best is NOT yet to come by voting republican this election year. I won’t even write his name on this episode description as a matter of strong...

This might be a good show to listen to to with the family. I’m empowering our youth to help Armenians in artsahk TODAY! We can do this no matter what age we are, just like ten year old Jackie Coogan helped the orphans of Armenia in 1915. Have no doubts that you can promote awareness and help fight for our brothers and sisters defend themselves from Azeri/Turkish aggression. Get the word out and he...

Are you being robbed of and empowering abundance mindset? I was victims to this thievery and it has everything to do with maintaining our mental well-being! Listen to my story and never feel alone, but do get out of it quick!

We (our sisters in artsahk) are being plundered again by the barbaric Azeri Turk. This time, a mother and child were killed with bombs and chaos of random raids. This is intentional and continued female abuse by a third party. We need to keep them in our hearts and prayers for a peaceful outcome. Attacking our countries fertility isn’t ok!

Let’s face it! Emotional and financial abuse hurt our mental health and it takes some time to heal from that. That level of abuse takes a toll on us to the point that making decisions is taxing and hard. I was finally able to bring myself to buy a car without fear, three years post abuse. It’s not easy and add that to other outside health issues and your current levels of protection and you’ve got...

My son went to his grandmas to cook sarma, and instead of celebrating this, she shamed him. She laughed and said something like, “what are you becoming, a girl or something?” In Armenian. This sort of thing happens more often than we think and it has a lasting effect on our youth if not careful. We need to move into the 21st century and encourage all of our children’s talents and interests no matt...

Welcome to Armenian Women Empowerment! This is a podcast that will help you identify the negative and sexist rhetoric throw your way and to stand up for yourself in its wake. You will hear Jackie’s personal story of how she survived an emotionally, familialy and financially abusive marriage and how to identify and prevent toxic family and professional relationships for yourself. It’s not “amot” to...

When we stand in our truth, we know when it’s time to go and sever toxic ties. Armenians have a tendency to stay too long with their abusers because it’s seen as being “amot” if they don’t, and that’s just further shaming of us. I’m guilty of that too, and I want you to know that it’s going to be the ultimate demise of the Armenian community when we continue to burn the very fabric that which hold...

Sometimes the true trauma is in how our toxic family members, partners and spouses and even adult children, accentuate them, blur them and make us feel worse. In this episode I share a #metoo moment. This podcast is raw. I’m an open book to show how you to need to look at the red flags in front of you, even from those you normally find trust and safety in.

You are not in the back seat of your life. You aren’t bound and set for the kitchen. Wake up and smell the soorj that you make and serve everyone! Switch up this conversation of feminism being something bad. You are your ultimate empowered feminine self when you are treated as equal. Stand up for woman’s rights and call out the sexists. Let’s be an example to our kids of how it’s done with empower...

I’ve a got a meme to share with you that really speaks to my heart about how we, as Armenian women, have much improvement to do with regards to empowering. We have a tendency not to hear eachother and instead of uplift and validation for where we are at in our journey, and in our space, we tend to make eachother feel as if we’re not enough, and have to keep up and catch up to US! Stop, hear, valid...

In this episode I’m talking about the recent vandalism by Azeri aggressors on the Armenian school in San Francisco and the sexist graffiti they spat all over it. Sexism has no place anywhere and yet, Armenians who have had ties to backwards Turkish culture, fall into this same trap giving the total wrong impression to our young people. Let’s switch up the conversation about Armenian women and upli...

Women are being exploited and experiencing stress on all fronts and my sisters in artsakh are no different! We need to find a way to take care of ourselves even during unprecedented times.

In third episode I examine the dictionary definition of the word empower, and how to apply it daily life. You’ll hear an example of my friend who recently took control of her professional life and empowered herself. Whether it’s a family member, partner or boss, you are not to be yelled at or made to feel less than. They don’t get to do that to you, and if you don’t nip it in the bud, they will al...

Unbelievably ugly when our own brothers and sisters disparage and attack our teachers! Teaching has long been gendered work by women, and when we hate on them and show no support for female teachers and leadership, we are being the most disempowering we can possibly be. I’m a teacher and let me tell you, this has been one hell of a week being witness to online vitriol against Armenian teachers and...

How do you empower yourself? In this episode I discuss the importance of staying empowered and how I go about empowering myself each day. Just like exercising our bodies, we need to keep our mind fit so that we stay mentally fit reminding us of our worth every day!

Special Father’s Day segment for those moms that do it all! I know how hard today can be still having to deal with your child’s dad, and some dads don’t deserve that role yet we still take the high road. Let’s give praise to how well Armenian moms get the job of two parents done and done well!

This is part II of my story of my escape from toxicity and how I awoke from an abusive marriage.

Let’s face it ladies, it’s not just sexism that problematic! We have been downing black Americans for far too long in this country. Listen to why black lives matter has everything to do with empowering the Armenian women.
