As we have been witnessing the protests raging across Iran after the brutal death of Mahsa Amini, we are also hearing of intensified violence against the women there. In order to more deeply understand the current climate, I reached out to my Iranian friend and sister Priya Assal and invited her to join me for an interview. If you want to hear why what is happening in Iran should matter to us here...

In 2016, Amy Mcphie Allebest published her piece " Dear Mormon Man ,” which went viral during the #metoo movement, helping crack the foundation of deeply rooted inequalities within her church and worldwide. The feminist awakening started long ago, yet part of the issue we face in making progress as daughters of the patriarchy is that our vast repository of herstory isn’t shared widely, taught, or...

I loved my conversation with Akilah S. Richards and walked away with a much deeper understanding of the value of unschooling in America. Conventional schooling is deeply rooted in colonization, industrial progress, and control over our personal autonomy. Akilah is passionate about mindful partnerships and parenting. Since 2016 she has hosted Fare of the Free Child, a lifestyle and parenting podcas...

Who gets to define what is deemed beautiful? Why do we leave it to others to define what it means, and how can we change the toxic nature of our culture's obsession with beauty myths and lies? Beauty myths cause tremendous harm, from body shame to dysmorphia, from starving ourselves through diet culture, to spending thousands of dollars on fixing or altering our appearance - all the while feeling...

Ok, Listeners. Oh, my heart! This story is going to blow you away. Be prepared to have your mind and heart blown wide open and keep the tissues nearby, just in case. What happens when a couple goes from infertility to the conception of multiple eggs, has their own healthy baby, and then decides to donate the rest of their fertilized eggs so that they can be adopted by another family who is having...

We've been taught to believe that myths are untrue, yet this indicates how atrophied our cultural mythic imagination is. As a result, myth has been relegated to consumer entertainment or dismissed as irrelevant to us vs. a potent way to more deeply understand ourselves in reciprocal relationships with others and the world. Ours is a fact-based, linear, logical, and control-based culture that doesn...

Emotional labor is the exertion of energy for the purpose of addressing people’s feelings, making people comfortable, or living up to social expectations. It’s called “emotional labor” because it ends up using – and often draining – our emotional resources. Emotional labor was a feeling I knew well before I knew it was a thing! It's such a relief to put language to something I could not previously...

"Maybe the journey isn't so much about becoming anything. Maybe it's about unbecoming everything that is not you so that you can discover, reveal, and embrace the truth of who you are." "It's "unbecoming" for a lady to sit like that, Monica." "Stop making faces like that! It's unbecoming for a little lady, and besides, your face might freeze!" Unbecoming is a term that has been used to manipulate...

In today's episode, Helen MacMillan shares her personal story and celebrates the birth of her new book, "The Gift of Pain." The first time someone suggested that pain could be a gift, I resisted with every fiber of my being, and yet, it took some time for me to recognize the deep wisdom it continues to teach us when we are willing to listen. And once we allow pain to come and sit at the table with...

"As the old ways of ruling and operating crumble and we consciously co-create from our hearts and souls the new world we truly want to inhabit, we are called to also learn new ways of being, new habits that can hold and nurture this growth. As more of Who We Truly Are is called on line, we are served best when we learn how to work with our energy and consciousness, for this is where we will be cre...

This past year I completed my 8-month rites of passage teacher training with Sarah Durham Wilson. It’s by far one of the most provocative and potent trainings I’ve ever done. It helped me truly understand the core wounds of women conditioned by patriarchy and how to assist women in healing those wounds. In this episode, I have the honor of introducing you to my teacher and her work and celebrating...

This episode was very emotional for me and brought up many memories of my past experience with abuse. I am deeply moved by Shannon’s work and look forward to her upcoming documentary about domestic and emotional abuse called Trapped By Faith. Abuse in any situation is devastating, but marital abuse has its own elements of crazy-making. Combine this with confusing messages from your faith and it ca...

I am thrilled to have my dear friend and colleague, Monette Chilson, back to talk about her new teaching platform WomanSpirit Reclamation and the power of circling with women to unlearn what we’ve been taught about the feminine. An excavator of sacred feminine lineage, Monette Chilson founded WomanSpirit Reclamation to support women in navigating their awakening from patriarchal indoctrination thr...

In this episode, I had the pleasure of welcoming back Dr. Terrlyn Curry Avery to talk about anti-racism. In our first discussion, we explored her work in helping heal religious trauma, which is also intersectional to racism and a by-product of patriarchy. Today we dove into her book Dismantling Racism from the Inside Out, and how these times invite us to reckon with our internal bias and require u...

Join us as we take a deep dive into the disguised gift of a personal apoca...

I’m back with another dose of the enchanting Sophie Strand. Listen in as we dance in the magic of storytelling, ecology, revelation, and contemplation. Sophie is someone who understands the power of myth-making and storytelling. She honed her abilities when she learned she had a life-threatening disease and began to write as if her life depended on it. What she came to realize is that all of our l...

"I’m not the guy who has got it all figured out. During the Covid pandemic, I had the opportunity once again to face an inner and outer unraveling. For months at a time, I experienced a paralyzing despondency borne of the calamity I saw overtaking society: the very Age of Separation I had been proclaiming, for years, to be nearing an end. Instead, it was reaching new extremes. At the same time, my...

Chemistry is important to me, as are relationships. I usually conduct what I call “chemistry calls” before I agree to interview a guest on the podcast. Pat and I had some chemistry. I immediately fell in love with her accent, authenticity, and humor. So much that 90 minutes later, we were still gabbing away. I loved our conversation. Pat is both wise and hysterical! She’s taken menopause into a wh...

I hope you enjoy this moving and provocative interview on Mother Daughter healing with Sara and Charlotte Vetter. I became aware of the mother wound in my life at an early age but had no idea how common it was. It was not until I viewed my relationships through a patriarchal lens that I was able to see more clearly how this dynamic is established and then passed down through the generations. I thi...
