Woman Uncaged

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to the final episode of season 5 of the Woman Uncaged podcast!  In this episode, we start with a quote we can’t shake: “A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.” From there, we dig into the gender gap around risk taking. Men are often encouraged to try, fail, and try again. Women are more likely to be trained to be...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to the Woman Uncaged Podcast, Season 5, Episode 17!

We talk about why so many “success principles” don’t tra...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to episode 16, season 5 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! Summer is marketed like a built-in reset, but many women experience it as more planning, more coordinating, and more pressure to “make it magical” for everyone else. We dig into why summer can quietly increase the mental load for women and how that erodes the very thing we want most: freed...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to Woman Uncaged, Season 5, Episode 15! Something wild happens when we stop looking to the world outside us as the source for what's holding us back and start naming what’s happening inside. In this episode, we get personal about the “inner cages” that keep so many of us from living a vibrant life, even when we’re doing all the right thi...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Life rarely arrives in clean chapters. Sometimes you’re walking through heartbreak while also feeling more in love, more free, or more alive than you have in years and then you’re left wondering if you’re doing it “wrong.” We sit down to talk about holding polarities: the ability to hold grief and joy at the same time, without letting one erase the o...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to Woman Uncaged Episode 13 of Season 5!  Indecision gets treated like a flaw, but what if it’s actually something else? In this conversation, we pull on that thread and it opens up a surprisingly tender truth about decision making: every real choice includes a small death, a door closing, a version of you that won’t happen. When we don’t mak...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to episode 12, season 5 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! Heroin chic did not come back by accident, and neither did the sudden cultural obsession with getting smaller.

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to Woman Uncaged! This is Episode 11 of Season 5.  Your back tightens, your jaw clenches, your brain won’t stop spinning and you reach for the fastest fix. We get it. Today, we're taking a hard look at where our energy really comes from and why so many “self-care” routines are actually more like self-recovery from a life that’s designed...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to episode 10, season 5 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! A lot of us say we want freedom, but our calendars and choices tell a different story. In this week's episode, we dig into the uncomfortable, liberating question at the heart of midlife growth: how do you create and live your own life instead of acting out someone else’s expectations?...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Artificial intelligence and political power are colliding in ways that could push women out of economic security and back into narrower roles. AI is getting sold as “the future of work,” but what if it’s also being used as a future of control? We follow a thread that starts with a chilling public claim from a major tech CEO about shifting economic po...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to season 5, episode 8 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! A recent global survey found that nearly a third of Gen Z men believe a wife should obey her husband. Not only that, but young men are more than twice as likely as baby boomers to hold this belief. Which led us to ask, WTF? So in this week's episode, we take a hard look at how power my...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! What if the bravest way to win is to skate for joy instead of judgment? We sat down with hearts still buzzing after watching Alysa Liu light up the ice, and we followed that thread into a bigger conversation about self-worth, presence, and success without self-betrayal. Her story of leaving at 16, returning for the love of the feeling, and then radia...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to episode 6, season 5 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In this latest episode, we dive into self-governance as a daily practice that blends inner sovereignty with community power, and we track how that intersects with money, autonomy, and the right to be heard. From miscarriage criminalization becoming more common to the slow creep of voting ba...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! What if the most loving thing you say this week is no?  Welcome to Season 5 Episode 5! We unpack why so many women default to appeasement: early grooming to be pleasing, the fawn response as a learned safety strategy, and the sales culture that pressures quick yeses. Then we rebuild choice from the body up. Learn how to slow urgency, map your persona...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! What if pleasure wasn’t a guilty whisper but a wise guide? We dive into a frank, tender conversation about how women can reclaim pleasure from the grip of productivity culture, sin narratives, and the “tiny treat” marketing trap. From basking in the sunlight on a winter day to long, meandering talks that light up the mind, we explore how genuine deli...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Want to know why a bigger bank balance can calm your nervous system yet still leave you restless? We dig into the messy, honest truth: money absolutely fixes spreadsheet problems, while falling short on the deeper needs that make life feel rich.

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to episode 2, season 5 of the woman Uncaged Podcast! In this week's episode, Laura and Linda explore the patriarchal system from a new angle, wondering aloud what might reveal itself if we look at men as the main objects of subjugation rather than women.  Inspired by a recent podcast episode of The Tea with Jameela Jamil, we investigate...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to the 5th season of Woman Uncaged! In episode one, we dive into the erasure of older women and why that loss matters for everyone. When women who know their minds disappear from view, men lose models for growth, relationships flatten, and a market built on insecurity thrives. We challenge the claim that women are naturally more conformist an...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to the 75th episode of Woman Uncaged, which is also our season four finale.  In this episode we’re naming something a lot of us can feel in our bones: the world is speeding up, getting more convenient, more automated and somehow less human. We're interrogating culture, power, convenience, efficiency, and what gets lost when humans outsou...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to episode 15, season 4 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In this week's episode we discuss self-care...but maybe not in the way that you would think. Self-care has become an unquestioned mandate for women. In some ways, of course it is an improvement over the impossible beauty standards of yesteryear (which were solely externally focused),...

Welcome to episode 14, season 4 of the Woman Uncaged podcast!  In this episode of the Woman Uncaged Podcast, we dive into one of our favorite end-of-year rituals: choosing a Word of the Year.

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to episode 13, season 4 of the Woman Uncaged podcast!  When we deny our own power, we project it outward...onto our spouses, other people, and even institutions. In this episode, we share how we see this phenomenon in ourselves, our clients, and the world at large, providing real world examples to illuminate a dynamic that often goes unseen a...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to Episode 12 of Season 4! In this episode, we unpack a truth we’ve both lived over and over again: real, lasting change is rarely quick, and the pressure to deliver (or receive) instant transformation can actually get in the way of the deeper work. We talk about the myth of the “insight machine,” the belief that coaches must produce rapid br...

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to Episode 11 of Season 4! In this week's episode, we explore the sought-after idea of "singular focus" and how that applies in our lives, our work, and our activism in support of the causes that matter to us. Singular focus is often hailed as being valuable and necessary to doing deep work that has impact, but both of us have...
