Feminist Visionaries

Spiritual psychology coach Alexie Foster grew up in a very conservative Christian home. Thus, her environment predisposed her to be pro-life or Republican. In this episode, Alexie chats with Meaghan Lamm about how her upbringing shaped her early political views and when she started to see a shift in her beliefs. She also discusses the importance and power of conversation, sharing some tips on having more productive conversations with your friends and family to learn from one another and share ideas in the process.

One of the most evident forms of patriarchy is the way women are always policed on how they act, most especially around being nice to the point that it has almost become a cultural necessity for us. The sad thing is how women unknowingly police each other of the same thing. In this episode, Meaghan Lamm tells you to forget about being nice and be yourself instead. She goes deep into the reality of being too nice in life and business and how it props up the patriarchy. Looking inside, Meaghan then reminds us of how showing up as our authentic selves changes the game.

Many of us tend to minimize ourselves for fear that other people might think of us as a fraud. Unbeknownst to many, they are already exhibiting what is called the 'Imposter Syndrome.' Before it further affects your business and life, Meaghan Lamm invites to the show Breakthrough Coach Janet Mohapi-Banks to talk about how imposter syndrome shows up in our lives and businesses and how we can move beyond it to create the life we've always dreamed of. What is more, they also lay down the ways you can overcome it and, especially for women, smash the patriarchy that, too often, makes us feel small in more ways than one in our daily lives. Listen in to this great conversation to fight through the chains that are holding you back and unleash the ambition that has been kept for far too long. 

What is hustle culture, exactly? In this episode, Meaghan Lamm talks about the underlying meaning of hustle culture in history and in current society. Learn where this phrase originated from, and the different transitions it went through, throughout history. Understand its core meaning in order to be enlightened on how it contributes to racism as a whole. Meaghan also explains why hustle culture should not be celebrated, especially during times of crisis. Being a part of systemic racism, understand the need to eradicate hustle culture in society as a step in improving the lives of every individual in all industries.

Words are powerful; they send a message about how we want to be perceived. When we describe ourselves as girl bosses, lady bosses, fempreneurs, mompreneurs, SHEEO and other such gendered leadership titles, it sends a rather negative message about female leadership. For one, it implies that we are doing really well “for a girl.” Is female leadership such a strange or unnatural thing that we need to qualify it with such gendered terms? In this episode, Meaghan Lamm tells us why such titles are problematic, how female leadership is usually viewed by patriarchal society and how it is portrayed by the media. It is time to change our perception of female leadership. Ungendering leadership titles is a good place to start.

Are you feeling inclined to treat yourself from time to time with bubble baths, manicures, chocolates and shopping sprees? As women, it seems perfectly natural for us to have these images in mind when we think of self-care. While there is certainly nothing wrong with having your hair or nails done, or even bingeing on fancy chocolates if that’s what you’re into, we must realize that this side of self-care is vacuous and superficial. The fact that we have to be constantly reminded to treat ourselves is very indicative of how we are socialized as women in patriarchal society. For self-care to truly become a radical feminist act, we have to understand what it really is. Putting yourself first as a woman is not all glitter and gold. We have to realize that true self-care is less Instagram-able than we fancy it to be. It’s about time we learn the ugly truth about self-care. Let Meaghan Lamm lead the way.

One of the most common phrases anyone in the online business circle has probably heard is "charge your worth." Although it seems to empower on the surface, this phrase actually speaks a lot about the way we tie our worth with money—a symptom of patriarchy. In this episode, Meaghan Lamm explores why you should stop charging your worth and, instead, build up the confidence you need to show up as your best self. She goes deep about why women tend to be not as confident as men and how this lack of confidence affects how we show up in our businesses. Unlearn associating your worth to how much you earn and how successful you are. Meaghan reminds you in this conversation that you are more than that. 

As inherently social creatures, human beings are biologically hardwired for social contact and relationships. As such, we generally want to be liked by our peers and family members, which is normal.  However, for some people, it goes deeper down, and that want is replaced by a need. As subtle as it may be, there is a difference between wanting to be liked and needing to be liked. In today’s podcast, Meaghan Lamm discusses why needing to be liked is a symptom of patriarchy and why it keeps us stuck in our personal life and our business.

The word “inclusivity” has been thrown around everywhere these days. It’s more than just a buzz word, but what exactly does it mean? For Rhodesia Jackson, it simply means making sure that no one is excluded. However, it also means so much more than being included; it’s being celebrated. Rhodesia is a branding and web designer who works with feminist visionaries whose mission is to be more inclusive and diverse in their messaging, marketing, and company culture. On today’s podcast, she joins Meaghan Lamm to talk about inclusivity in marketing and business, what it looks like, and how white women can do better about creating and supporting a more diverse world of online business.
