Dear Spin Sisters...

In this episode, Calamity Jayne and Roxy explore true transformation and the sometimes painful moments one experiences when taking action to create permanent change. A Chrysalis, is the hard exoskeleton formed by one butterfly as another is protected within during development. In simple terms describes the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly. Join them as they discuss transformational moments in their lives that would not have been possible without pain and fear. Are you ready to birth that dream you've had, to get reacquainted with the woman you wanted to become? 

Join Calamity Jayne and Roxy as they discuss moments in life when it would have been a good idea to hold their tongue, but more likely times when they should have spoken up. Women continue to find their voices in moments when either by nature, or nurture, they've been taught to remain quiet and small. Shut Your Mouth explores men and women's nature to use words, sometimes a huge number....sometimes very few to express themselves and how studies show, women are naturally wired to use a lot more than men! SYM is the second episode in a three part series on finding your way by choosing to take action when a fork in the road presents itself, learning to use your voice for good, and finally, breaking free to be comfortable and content with who you want to be in the world.

Join Calamity Jayne and Roxy as they discuss the choices one makes, first as a young woman, then later in life. Was the decision to go to college, or stay home the first difficult choice you had to make as a young adult? Is regret about choices made inevitable? They both argue that difficult choices never go away and that you'll always have to choose one if you are to move forward in life. "When it comes to a fork in the road, take it!". Just choose one direction and enjoy the journey to where ever the road takes you. 

Calamity Jayne and Roxy explore the differences multiple generations of young ladies might have experienced moving from their original family unit into what they claim is a new one called, high school. They tell stories of what often defines the group, tribe, or gang one might join based on many different reasons. High School is likely, they argue, young women's first experience in pulling away and beginning to define who they want to be in the world. The theme of this episode is stereotypes. Using examples of Miss Piggy, Cruella DeVille and Sandra Dee and Riz from the movie Grease, they explore the common stereotypes given and sometimes accepted by young ladies. Who were you? And more importantly, who would you want to be most like now?

On this episode, Calamity and Roxy explore the nurture side of the nature-nurture theory. Do we develop coping mechanisms in order to survive the family unit as we age? Join them as they share a story about Shonda Rhimes and her Year of Yes while also considering their own behaviors of yes and no. Are you a yes person or a no person? What are the positive and negative outcomes of being a yes or a no person?

Challenging Carl Jung's analytical theories that personalities are hard-wired at birth, Calamity Jayne and Roxy take a look at their own childhoods to test the theory and spend time considering best friends, Lucy and Ethel from the I Love Lucy sitcom that originally ran from October 15, 1951 to May 6, 1957, which in today's sitcom world would be considered a short run with only 180 episodes. But the I Love Lucy show has stood the test of time, with more than 40 million viewers. Join Calamity and Roxy as they consider who they more relate to, Lucy or Ethel when describing personality types. Are You a Lucy or an Ethel is the first of a two part series, discussing nature versus nurture in the role your original family unit plays in forming the woman you become. 

What happens when you try to unplug in an effort to brainstorm, or simply to take a break? Nordstroms Is On Fire! is the second episode in the Dear Spin Sisters podcast with Calamity Jayne and Roxy. Listen in as they describe an embarrassing encounter with an upset millennial in Sonoma County when they tried to get away from the world for a weekend. The humorous story ends with what they learned and how they wished for a do-over.

Did the universe put us in time out? Join  Calamity Jayne and Roxy as we discuss not only the issues surrounding the pandemic, but the lessons we may have learned along the way. Time Out, Universe! is the first episode in season one of the Dear Calamity podcast, where we explore relationships, connections, and why women are hardwired to spin on thoughts, how we become so busy that savoring the moments can feel almost impossible and why we often put our desires to soar on the back burner.
