SisterUp Podcast

In the Season 2 finale, SisterUp hosts (and sisters), Krista Parry and Lindsay Stephenson talk about their personal insights and lessons learned from this season's guests. They also share what quarantine has taught them and what they will be carrying with them once school and work life resumes.

Today we talk with Liz Owens, a longtime social justice advocate and the recently appointed CEO of the YWCA Utah. She talks about fighting against injustice, taking a broader view, and finding her path to administration. She also talks about the importance of living in the "now" - especially in times of crisis.

Today we talk with Kristin Hodson, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. She encourages us to genuinely suspend all judgment, belief and ideas about so many things in this time. That includes what it means to be a good mother and a good person going through quarantine. Kristin talks about how to leave room for grace and be champions of each other, including ourselves.

Today we talk with Julie Quinn, a sought after expert on the culture of preparedness and crisis management. She talks with us about Preparedness, Flexibility and Empathy - the three keys to resilience she is using to guide her family as well as her clients during this unprecedented time. She also shares why making a career change in her thirties taught her that it is never too late to believe in yourself and make change.

In today's episode, we talk with Catherine Aquino, a well-known acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist in Los Angeles. She shares with us how 'mothering herself' led her to a career change that she is passionate about. She talks about strength during her fertility struggle, and how trusting herself after finding a lump in her breast led to a quick intervention that saved her life. She shares simple steps we can all do right now to mother ourselves. Stay to the end, where she guides us through a two-minute breathing exercise that you won't want to miss.

Today we talk with former English barrister turned registered dietitian Esther Schultz, MS, RDN. Esther talks about how reconciling her childhood issues led to taking her own power back and why she believes that one of the most important things we can do in regards to nutrition is to get back in touch with our own bodies. As a mother of two small children, she also shares what she is doing during this time for easing the stress of mealtime.

Today we talk with Oona Hanson, former educator turned Parent Coach, about parenting in a pandemic. She talks with us about this unique time we are in and how the potential life lessons our children can learn right now go beyond their schoolwork. There are too many golden nuggets in this episode to list. This is a must listen for everyone.

Amidst the chaos and craziness of quarantine, we are bringing you guests and experts that are sharing stories and tips on resiliency. Today we talk with Stephanie Bruce, one of America's most popular female distance runners. Her vulnerability and open approach to social media has made her a role model and inspiration to runners and moms everywhere. In this episode, Stephanie shares how she learned to live unapologetically as herself and how losing her dad at a pivotal age encouraged her to dream big and set audacious goals.

Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of the times we are in right now, we are talking with our guests about resilience. In this episode, we are bringing back one of our most popular guests, Lyn Christian. As a Master Certified Coach, she has guided thousands of people through change, pivots and uncertain times. In today's podcast, she talks with us about the actionable steps we can all take right now to guide us through our fear and find resiliency.

Season 2 of the SisterUp Podcast is different from what we had planned for... much like all of our lives right now. Amidst the quarantine, we decided to focus on Resilience. In these unprecedented times we are talking with our guests and experts about times in their lives where they had to be resilient and how they rely on those lessons, insights and resources to guide them (and us) through these unique times.

We look forward to sharing these powerful and vulnerable conversations with you. It is our hope that they will help lift you up and encourage you during this unique time we are in. We are all in this together. #SisterUp
