In this episode, I talk about how gender expectations can get in the way of us living our dreams. I explore:

*How gender socialization influences who we think we should be, and how this affects how we live our lives.

*What we think we can/cannot do is based on who we think we "should/should not" be.

*Beliefs we have internalized from oppression about who we are (or who we think we are).

Today's episode is different....I want to tell you about a transition I'm making with the podcast that I'm really excited about. Press play to find out!

The amazing Thais is a speaker, writer, podcaster and coach to help women reclaim their worthiness. In today's episode, we talk about what empowerment means, how Thais supports women to trust themselves in a patriarchal society that has told us from a young age to trust people and things outside of ourselves. 

"There's a lot of pressure on us to be something that we're inherently not". 

Thais shares her journey of how she began to trust herself, including her story of binge-eating and exploring the deeper issues underneath it. We talk about rigidity and how it prevents us from truly listening to ourselves, and how we can get free of this. In addition, Thais speaks about taking up space, respecting others' space, privilege and her complex identity as a White, Latina. My favorite quote from Thais is: 

"It's not about finding the gray, it's about finding the color. Finding a totally different way of being. And, it's possible."

In today's episode, I speak with the incredible, Melissa, who is a Parent Empowerment Coach and Founder of Sex Positive Families. Melissa talks about how to parent in a sex positive and gender-neutral way, and why this matters. Sex Positive Families operates under the belief that gender is a social construct and that it's important for us to socialize our children differently. Melissa shares how sex positive parenting has has positive outcomes in her home with her family. We also talk about why gender reveal parties, and gender expectations placed upon a baby because of their genitals is harmful. In addition to parenting in a gender-free way, it's important that we, as individuals, self-reflect and examine the gender we have internalized within ourselves and that gets played out in our everyday lives. Melissa is a powerful example, teacher and coach who is paving a different, more freeing way for us all. Whether you're a parent or childfree, this episode is for you if you want to gain a deeper understanding of gender, sex and liberate yourself from society's constructs and expectations.

In today's episode, I talk with beautiful feminist powerhouse, Julie Parker! Julie identifies as a feminist modern day Priestess, is a speaker, author, host of the Priestess Podcast, and the founder of Beautiful You Coaching Academy. We talk about Julie's background, growing up on a farm being raised by a loving, single mom in Australia. Julie shares two dark experiences that have made a huge impact on her, shaping who she is today and her feminism. Then, we chat about Julie's passion about the Goddess from a feminist lens, and gender fluidity and queerness among Goddesses and Gods, in particular. This is ancient, important herstory that many of us aren't familiar with, and I'm thankful to Julie for blessing us with this knowledge. You'll definitely want to listen to this one!

I am chatting with the amazing, Krystal, a marketing consultant who created Women of Denver, ​"a social enterprise on a mission to help women know their value, build influence and ultimately earn their worth." In this episode, I ask Krystal about what inspired her to create Women of Denver and we talk a lot about women gaining economic power. We dive into the common beliefs and messages that women have received from patriarchy about our worth and what we deserve in relation to money and business. We also chat about her TEDx Talk, "Being Your Own Superhero" and the value of being an introvert. Krystal is passionate about more women getting into politics and shares about how she's been learning more about how women can and need to run for office. If you're interested in women making their own money, feeling deserving and getting into political office, then this episode is for you!

Let's talk about gender....

I was excited to speak with the wonderful, Sophie, who shares a different perspective on money, money blocks and abundance than what we normally hear in the mainstream and from money coaches in general. Sophie believes that we can use our gifts and make money while we're in capitalism while also working towards a different system. She addresses some of the most common concerns she hears from clients and feminists, one being the desire to serve the people in your community who can't always afford your work. I ask Sophie what she believes about money and if she uses affirmations to call in more abundance and money into her life. 

At the core of Sophie's work is healing wounds of capitalism, patriarchy and worthiness. 

"Being able to say I'm worthy of money is feminist."

She believes that changing the way we relate to money and redistributing resources is a feminist act. The relationship between feminism and money and capitalism is deep and complex, and Sophie brings more of this complexity to light. We talk about being honest about our financial needs, the obsession with earning six figures, money blocks, and what the real desires, needs, and feelings are underneath these things. As a feminist, Sophie values care, collective care and change, and talks about building from ourselves, our connections and our communities.
