Red, Ayelle and Margot are three members of the feminist collective “Feminist Collages Amsterdam ” an intersectional feminist movement fighting systemic domination by reclaiming the streets through pasted slogans. They practice horizontal and decentralized civil disobedience to denounce oppressions such as femicides (the killing of women for being women), domestic violence, sexism, racism, queerphobia etc.  

In this episode we learn everything about Feminist Collages Amsterdam, a movement that has its origin in France, we talk about collages as a feminist means of causing rupture by changing public spaces, the significance of reclaiming the streets as a place that historically speaking has been dangerous for women, gender minorities, people of colour and other marginalized groups. We talk about bell hooks and of course much more. 

This episode also includes a trigger warning as we mention sexual abuse and femicide.

Esther Molenaar is a haptotherapist in Amsterdam where she lives with her partner and her 7-year-old daughter Charlie. Her favorite pastime is dancing on roller-skates and she even runs a small roller-skate business next to her haptotherapy practice. Her star sign is Aries and her Chinese zodiac dragon. She describes herself as an ambitious, slightly restless women interested in everything that involves human growth and development, sometimes having a hard time juggling endless ideas and trying to find a nice life balance. And she also has her own podcast that focuses on haptotherapie. 

In this episode we learn about haptotherapy: A therapy that is centered on the idea that experiences and memories are stored in the body. A therapy that focuses on the after effects of a certain experience which can manifest through tensions in our bodies, in certain habits we aren’t comfortable with or difficult relationships with others. It looks for the balance between body, mind and feelings by using a combination of talking, body awareness exercises and affective touch to get in contact with feelings and emotions that we perhaps haven’t been aware of or have been pushing away.

In this episode we learn about haptotherapy, speak about racism as a cause of trauma that white therapists often fail to acknowledge, but also move to other subjects such as the process of aging and hear an example of Esther’s life as a mum to Charly when it comes to handling emotions.

Judith Holzmann is the co-founder of Cat Calls of Nimma an Instagram account against gender-based street harassment, where Judith and her friend and co-founder Roos write stories of harassment word-for-word in the spots where they happened alongside the hashtag #stopstreetharassment using sidewalk chalk and then post on social media to spur dialogue and story sharing.  

Nimma stands for Nijmegen, a city in the Netherlands while Catcalls of Nimma is part of Chalk Back , an international youth-led movement committed to ending gender-based street harassment with public chalk art, digital media and education.

Jessica Baladad is the founder and chief advocate of Feel For Your Life , an online resource for breast health advocacy.

When Jessica was 33 years old, she was diagnosed with stage 2B invasive ductal carcinoma after discovering a lump while doing a self breast exam in the shower. She underwent 16 rounds of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy, 24 rounds of radiation, a hysterectomy and a 10-hour flap reconstruction. She has since celebrated life in remission by helping women advocate for their breast health through her new app, appropriately called Feel For Your Life . Jessica is the first breast cancer patient to create an app that allows women to learn about self breast exams, helps them track and monitor their progress and allows them to set monthly reminders. 

In this episode we speak about Jessica's journey as a breast cancer survivor, medical gaslighting, being your own medical advocate, the sexualization of breasts, and of course Jessica's app Feel for your Life.

Lieke Koningen is a mother, a moderator, a lifecoach, community builder and event producer. She is further an award winning teacher, a dancer and workshop developer who lives with her family in Amsterdam. 

From a very young age she felt the need to stand up against injustice and her passion for social justice has been part of her life forever. She believes that it is important to speak with people and not about them when seeking solutions. 

Lieke is a true inspiration, especially to the youth and loves connecting people with each other while human bonds or “crewlove” as Lieke calls it is what she needs to be fulfilled. 

At certain points in her life she lived in Venezuela and Spain and those experiences taught her to stand on her own feet. 

She further grew up in a loving family and wants the same for her children. As a creative mother making memories is much more important to her than material matters. 

I can say that Lieke shows to the world that our identity is not limited, that we can do and be many things with equal measure as if it is singularly who we are. With her work and ideas, she brings flavour into the world, initiates change for the next generation and raises awareness on important topics. 

In this episode we will speak about Lieke’s strong social justice vision, the importance of trying, evolving, Lieke’s passion for dancing, her son, and a very personal story of mine and of course much more. Make sure to listen until the end.
