Ambitious Women's Guide

Dr Judith Orloff and Madelyn Freeman discuss the intricacies of Female Intuition.

The Power of Intuition with Dr. Orloff

In this episode, Madelyn Freeman sits down with the renowned Dr. Orloff, a leading intuitive healer, to delve into the fascinating world of female intuition. Dr. Orloff’s unique blend of medical expertise and intuitive wisdom has made her a trailblazer in holistic healing, and today, we explore the science and psychology behind why women seem to possess a heightened sense of intuition. Research has long suggested that women are naturally attuned to emotional cues, a gift rooted in both biology and social influences.

Dr. Orloff will share invaluable insights on the power of intuition, particularly how it can enhance our emotional and physical well-being. We’ll dive into the fascinating neuroscience behind intuition and the key brain structures that contribute to this ability. The conversation touches on the science of the corpus callosum, the brain's connector between the left and right hemispheres, and how women have a unique advantage in using this to multitask and access deeper emotional understanding.

Join us for this enlightening conversation as we uncover how embracing and harnessing intuition can lead to greater balance and healing in our daily lives.

Welcome, Dr. Orloff—let’s explore how intuition truly works.

Episode 4: Laura Annie Willson

Born in 1877 in Halifax, west Yorkshire, Laura Annie Willson grew up in poverty and started work at the age of ten, as a ‘half-timer’ in a local mill. Twice imprisoned for her political activities, she later became co-director of a highly successful engineering business, employing mostly women, and did much to improve working conditions.

 Laura Annie was a founder member of both the Women’s Engineering Society and the Electrical Association for Women. She designed and built hundreds of modern homes for working people, describing house-building as ‘a form of engineering of the domestic kind’. In 1928 she spoke of being at the start of a ‘golden age’ for women, especially those entering the business world. ‘Industry has become fascinating and profitable to women,’ she said, ‘and we want to play our full part in that new life.’

Author Henrietta Heald Reads; Ardent suffragette and survivor of the Lusitania disaster, Margaret Haig Thomas inherited a viscountcy on the death of her father, the Liberal politician D. A. Thomas, Viscount Rhondda of Llanwern, but was disqualified by her sex from sitting in the House of Lords. She spent her whole life campaigning for changes to laws that discriminated against women.

In 1920 Lady Rhondda founded a political weekly calledTime and Tide, which supported left-wing and feminist causes. Immensely rich and influential, she sat on 33 company boards during her lifetime and chaired seven of them. In 1926 she became the first female president of the Institute of Directors.

From the start, Lady Rhondda was a keen supporter, both morally and financially, of the Women’s Engineering Society, founded in 1919. In alliance with other powerful women, she moved in political and social circles that helped to bring the society to national prominence.

Self Knowledge and Reality Mapping

🎙️ Welcome to *Feminine Minds*, where we delve deep into the intricate tapestry of our thoughts, emotions, and experiences. This is Episode 4, and today, Madelyn Freeman is taking a fascinating journey into the realm of self-knowledge—the work that empowers us to understand the complex machinery of our minds.

Download Our Reality Mapping Guide

Have you ever marvelled at the sheer complexity of your own consciousness? Imagine this: your mind isn’t just a simple vessel of thoughts; it’s a dynamic interplay of conscious awareness, subconscious whispers, and an unconscious network of ancestral memories embedded in the very fabric of your DNA. Our limbic system, that emotional powerhouse, shapes our reactions and memories while responding to life's stresses with a primal fight-or-flight instinct. But wait—there's more! The brilliant prefrontal neocortex is here to save the day, allowing us to process thoughts rationally and navigate our feelings with finesse.

And as if that weren’t enough, we’re also wired with mirroring neurons, effortlessly reflecting the emotions and experiences of those around us. Ever found yourself laughing when someone else does? That’s the magic of connection at play! 

But how do we make sense of this intricate web? Enter the wisdom of Carl Jung, who illuminated the paths of individual cognition through his ground-breaking work on personality types. Today, we'll explore how understanding our unique processing styles—whether we lean towards thinking, feeling, sensation, or intuition—can empower us to navigate our inner landscapes with clarity and purpose. 🌈💡

So, join me as we embark on this enlightening exploration of self-knowledge, where we’ll uncover the secrets of our minds and learn how to harness their power for personal growth. Let’s dive in!

Welcome to Ambitious Women’s Guide, where we delve into the inspiring stories of remarkable individuals shaping the world of today. In this episode, we shine a spotlight on Liz Perkins, the Night News Editor at the Daily Express, whose journey is as dynamic as the news she curates.

Episode 1: After the War

Introducing the extraordinary individuals who came together in Britain after the Great War with a mission to transform the lives of working women. In 1919 they set up the world’s first professional organisation to fight for equal employment rights: the Women’s Engineering Society. The trailblazers featured in this series are Rachel Parsons, Margaret Rhondda, Laura Annie Willson, Margaret Partridge and Caroline Haslett.

In 1918, the battle for the female franchise had been partly won. Women were making progress in medicine, the civil service and the law – but, although more than a million had served in the wartime munitions factories, and made a vital contribution to the Allied victory, the doors of industry were slammed shut against female engineers.

The Women’s Engineering Society set out to change all that. Rachel Parsons, its founding president, articulated a rallying cry that still resonates today: ‘Women have won their political independence. Now is the time for them to achieve their economic freedom too.’
