November 14, 2025182. Uma Subramaniam: Yoga is Life
In today’s episode, we dive into a rich and inspiring conversation with yoga teacher Uma Subramaniam. Uma shares her journey from growing up in India—where yoga was a natural part of daily life—to her years in the U.S. financial industry, and ultimately, to rediscovering her calling as a lifelong student and teacher of yoga. Through her story, Uma beautifully illustrates how yoga is not just a practice, but a way of being—one that guides her understanding of purpose, balance, and self-awareness.
In this episode, we explore:
Roots in India: Uma’s early exposure to yoga through her father and how morning practices by the sea taught her stillness, breath, and focus.
A Spirited Beginning: How she describes her young self as a “Tasmanian devil,” and how yoga offered her a grounding foundation even as a child.
Life Choices and Transitions: The story of her arranged marriage, her studies in international business, and her move to the United States.
Returning Home: Her family’s decision to move back to India—to care for her parents and reconnect their children with their heritage and culture.
A New Chapter: Uma’s choice to leave the corporate world and return to yoga as a path to healing and wholeness—ultimately earning her master’s degree in yoga and opening six yoga studios.
Yoga as a Way of Life: Uma’s belief that yoga is life itself—that its true purpose is to help us understand who we are and why we are here.
What’s Next: Her excitement about the upcoming Yoga Teacher Training with Betsy and Kimberly, launching in Iowa City in January 2026.Bio: Uma’s early experiences with yoga started at the age of 10 with her father, and strictly adhered to traditional yogic principles that included practicing before sunrise on an empty stomach. An Arts graduate with a specialization in English Literature, she later went on to pursue an associate degree in International Business. She worked as an Internal Auditor for one of the top banks in the US and lived in the US for over a decade. When she moved back to India in 2008, she turned back to yoga for personal practice and soon decided to teach. She has a Master’s Degree in Yogic Sciences, a Master’s degree in Vedanta (philosophy) and is a Yoga Alliance Registered ERYT500 Teacher, RCYT(Children’s Yoga) and RPYT(Prenatal Yoga) certified teacher from the Yoga Academy.
Uma designs her classes to work slowly into classical practices beginning with awareness to spine, breath and the mind space. “I like my students to experience transformation with even a simple 30 minute practice”. She considers herself still a student, a teacher and therapist, a believer in yoga, naturopathy, ayurveda and natural, holistic and wholesome treatment of the human body and mind. Her happiness and satisfaction lies in her students improving steadily and in having strengthened their interest and belief in yoga, and holistic treatment of their body and mind. She is happiest when she is also able to encourage them to inculcate this new-found way of living among their family and friends.
With experiential knowledge of different schools of yoga (Sivananda, Satyananda, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Yin and hot yoga), and having watched the yoga industry bloom around the world and particularly in Bangalore, Uma helps lead your way to the many options and offerings yoga has for the discerning seeker.

November 07, 2025181. The Year of Endings & Beginnings
At the start of Season 3 on Tend Her Wild, astrologer and coach Cathy Pagano talked about 2025 as a year of endings and beginnings. Today Kate and Betsy get personal and reflect on a moment in Iceland 4 years ago when they both had an inkling of something hard they were going to have to face. Kate faced her challenge 2 years ago that we discussed in Episode 44, and now Betsy is facing her challenge. We had no idea where this conversation would go, but feel it is an exploration into honesty, nudges from the soul, and surrender.
In today’s episode we discuss:
Betsy’s internal process and her story of leaning into a big relationship change.
The messiness of life, navigating times of doubt, and how our brain resists change which is why it’s easy to stay in complacency.
The pockets of darkness, self-hatred, shame and guilt that accompany divorce.
The moment Betsy turned inward, quit asking for people’s insights or perspectives, and chose to move into trust-fall and surrender.
How when we don’t shed our skin like the snake, we cannot survive.
Following the soul, breaking generational patterning, midlife reckoning, and moving into a life of more authenticity and truth.

October 31, 2025180. Ginette Biro: A Near Death Experience & Divine Connection to the Other Side
Today’s interview was both eye opening and fascinating as we interviewed Ginette Biro, a medium (someone who can see, hear, and communicate with spirits on the other side). We hear about her journey of opening into these gifts, and a near death experience she had at 2019 that encouraged her to step up and show more of her wisdom and perspective.
In today’s episode we:
Learn how Ginette was already seeing spirits by the age of 5, but had no language to express it, nor family members with a similar gift.
How her psychic gifts continued to grow and she began to hear spirit around 17 years old which freaked her out and led her to find mentors and guides to create a framework for her, and help her learn to discern her voice from the voice of spirit.
How friends and family responded to knowing about her gifts, and the naysayers along the way.
The near death experience that happened to Ginette in 2019 during a routine surgery that took her to heaven where she was greeted by friends and family on the other side.
The white room that Ginette eventually made it to during her near death experience where she saw the blueprint of her life, had a life review, was given the option to change destiny points, and the decision she made to return to her body instead of stay in the realm of spirit.
The agreement she made to spirit that she would step up and share more of what she knew with the world, and how Ginette is doing just that.
Bio:
Ginette Biro s a powerful medium who is clairaudient, clairvoyant, clairsentient and claircognizant. She can hear, see, feel and know information from spirit and other dimensions. Since Ginette was a child, she has been channeling beings from the 4th to 12th dimensions, connecting people to the other side and bringing messages to inspire and inform our world. Ginette has many spirit guides and ascended masters and beings who are guiding her to support the planet in its ascension. In addition to these remarkable gifts, she has spent soul time on the other side through a near death experience. This allowed her to see and understand how our life blueprint and soul’s journey actually works.

October 24, 2025179. The Heroine’s Journey: The Descent to the Goddess
We reviewed the Heroine’s Journey that we talked about in Episode 60, and took it a little deeper today after exploring this beautiful methodology for a full week on a recent retreat in Greece. There are many steps on the Heroine’s Journey (see book by Maureen Murdock), but today we dive into the step called “Descent to the Goddess” and what this actually means. Our conversation processes the retreat and what we both learned, as well as the lessons of several women who attended.
Today we discuss:
How historically the feminine energy got pushed down, and that perhaps it is because the feminine energy holds power and creation whereas the masculine holds consciousness and awareness. We need them both but there is often a fear of power. However feminine power is not power over (as we are used to in our culture), but rather power within.
How we worked with Goddess energy on retreat, and the many different forms of Goddess that include: the maiden, the mother, the warriors, the sage, the mystic, the queen, the lover.
Why it is important to understand which feminine energies you resonate with, which energies you push away, and how it is often the energy we reject that we need to integrate most in our life.
The power of intergenerational learning (which we had on retreat – 44 women ages 28-76), and the big lesson Betsy got from one of the youngest participants.
A call to all women to own our inner feminine as a way to soothe, integrate and harmonize what is happening in humanity.
The Heroine’s Journey is a book written by Dr. Maureen Murdock based on her understanding the feminine version of the Hero’s Journey as articulated by Jospeh Campbell in The Hero with A Thousand Faces.

October 17, 2025178. The Four Agreements
In today’s episode, we dive into The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz—a timeless guide to personal freedom and transformation. As we prepare for our upcoming retreat in Greece with 44 incredible women, we explore how these four agreements can serve as a foundation for group connection, compassion, and authentic living.
Together, we imagine what it would be like if our culture truly lived by these principles—and how much more kind, peaceful, and loving the world could become.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
How The Four Agreements reflects a re-wilding process—returning us to our true, untamed selves, which is at the heart of this podcast’s mission.
Ruiz’s beautiful description of the “normal human being” at two years old—joyful, expressive, and unafraid to show emotion.
The process of domestication—how the world teaches us to conform, quiet our voices, and disconnect from our authentic selves.
How these agreements can guide us to live as peaceful warriors amid today’s uncertainty and change.
The four agreements themselves:
Be Impeccable with Your Word
Don’t Take Anything Personally
Don’t Make Assumptions
Always Do Your Best
The agreements that most resonate with us—and how we’re working with them as areas of personal and collective growth.

October 06, 2025177. Are You Dysregulated?
It really is a time for us to step up and take some responsibility for our own nervous system, so for today’s episode we revisit the topic of nervous system dysregulation and how most of us are likely dysregulated due to the stressors of modern day life. We reveal our personal nervous system default responses, and we talk about the tools that seem to help us get back to a more regulated state.
Today we discuss:
That stress is here to stay and how 1/3 of adults report stress is completely overwhelming most days according to a report by the American Psychological Association.
How we cannot “think” our way to a different nervous system response because our nervous system is autonomic which is why somatic based approaches are key to helping us regulate.
The signs that you may be dysregulated.
The ways our nervous system responds to stress, and how each of us has a default response to stress.
The things that Kate does to regulate herself and the things Betsy does.
Why the type of connective tissue we have may also help us understand our default nervous system response and how Kate and Betsy have completely different types of connective tissue!

September 29, 2025176. Carmen Serano: The Beauty Between the Breaks
In today’s episode, we sit down with actress Carmen Serano-Gingles, who shares a powerful story of healing, resilience, and transformation.
Carmen opens up about navigating her own “dark night of the soul” and the hope she now brings to other women as a coach and guide. Having survived multiple layers of trauma in both childhood and adulthood, she eventually discovered true self-love and a deep sense of wholeness in midlife. Through courageous inner work and generational healing—supported by psychedelic journeys—she reconnected with herself and opened the door to authentic love.
This journey is at the heart of her forthcoming memoir, The Beauty Between the Breaks, which she describes not just as a book, but as a movement of healing, connection, and love.
In our conversation, we explore:
Carmen’s painful first decade of life, marked by abuse and a deep sense of not belonging—at home or at school.
Becoming a mother at 16, repeating her own mother’s pattern, and navigating a complicated relationship.
The trauma and resilience tied to her son’s birth with cerebral palsy—and her determination that he would always be seen by the world.
How her son opened unexpected doors, including being signed by a modeling agency at 19, which launched her acting career.
Her 18-year marriage to a narcissist, a move to New Mexico, and raising two beautiful daughters while pursuing modeling and acting.
A devastating sexual assault in her 30s that shattered her but also forced her to confront buried memories—ultimately becoming the catalyst for her healing journey.
The lifelong process of facing her complicated relationship with her mother, and how her healing work has rippled across generations.
The profound impact of psychedelic journeys, which helped her cultivate empathy for her mother and reframe her family dynamics.
The arrival of a new, healthy love after doing the work to become whole.
The vision behind her memoir and artistic collaborations—transforming pain into beauty and amplifying the voices of artists of color.
Carmen’s story is one of courage, alchemy, and radical love. It’s an invitation to believe in the possibility of healing—no matter how broken the past may feel.
Excerpt “What I Learned About My Mother”
“And then my Nana came through. My mother’s mother,
who had adored both of us.
I heard her clearly:
“Stop looking to her to be your mother.
I am your mother.
She is your tormented sister.”
I knew she didn’t mean those words literally. It was a soul-level truth, a reframe. My
Nana was reclaiming her maternal role in my life and reminding me that my ownmother was too wounded to play hers.
“She cannot give you what you need.”
And in an instant, everything changed.
I wasn’t angry anymore.
I wasn’t grieving what I didn’t get.
I saw my mom not as the woman who failed me, but as a girl who had been broken
too.
A girl who had been hurt by her own father.
A girl who survived things I’ll never fully understand.
And in that space of truth,
compassion bloomed…..”

In today’s episode we interview Tracy Tritle about her year living everywhere and nowhere at once in an old VW camper van. At the age of 55, Tracy found herself at rock bottom after leaving a corporate job and experiencing the ending of a long term marriage. She followed her instinct and said yes to a new adventure, and today we talk about all she learned.
Today we discuss:
Tracy’s early life on a dairy farm with a kind family where she felt like the “unicorn of the family” who never quite fit in and was muted.
The moment she decided to buy a burnt orange flower power VW camper van, and the feeling she had of exhilaration and “what did I just do?”.
Her loose plan to follow Route 66 West, and all the many detours and adventures along the way.
Her enmeshed relationship with GiGi (the camper van) that included break downs, selling her, rebuying her, shipping her home from Alaska, and her vow that she will never get rid of her as she is part of “my legacy”.
Women’s reaction to hearing about Tracy’s adventure which includes jealousy and the feeling “I could never do that” and Tracy’s belief that anyone can do it.

September 12, 2025174. Codependent No More
This is a theme that we have been wanting to explore on the podcast for months, but have been dragging our feet. (Perhaps because we both identify closely with this pattern). We looked for an expert on this, and reached out to Melody Beattie last year, author of the best seller “Codependent No More”. She agreed to come on the podcast but requested we wait until the Fall when she had a new book coming out. Melody passed away this past February at the age of 76. May you Rest In Peace Melody and thank you for opening so many of our eyes to the pattern of codependency.
Today we discuss:
The definition of codependence: You love other people more than you love yourself.
Betsy’s reckoning with her own codependency.
Kate’s first contact with the book “Codependent No More”.
How control is the addiction of codependence.
How women raised in a patriarchy are set up to align with the pattern of codependence.
Why the relationship with our children is inherently codependent.
The tools that can help manage this pattern.

September 05, 2025173. Maddie Corman: Accidentally Brave
In today’s episode we interview Maddie Corman, an actress with a powerful story of betrayal trauma, how she managed the darkest chapter of her life, and the hope and support she is providing to other folks in similar situations. After her husband was arrested for downloading child pornography, her world blew up. It took her years to move through the aftermath, and she tells her side of the story (and why she choose to stay with her husband) in her new one woman show released on HBO called “Accidentally Brave”, and directed by Kristin Hanggi (former guest on our podcast).
Today we discuss:
Maddie’s first 10 years as a childhood actress living outside of New York, and her powerful relationship with her mother who died when Maddie was 16.
The day that Maddie learned the news of her husband’s arrest, and how she did the only thing she knew how to do: go to work.
The years of utter pain and confusion that followed the arrest, how she handled people’s responses to this very public news, the angels that came in to her life, her decision to stay her husband, and the deep healing that came.
How Maddie navigated protecting and parenting her children, and how they are doing 10 years later.
Why Maddie decided to get a coaching certification after the number of women reaching out to her wanting to talk about their betrayal trauma.
Maddie’s Bio: Maddie Corman is a seasoned American actress and playwright that you’ve seen in classic films including Some Kind of Wonderful, Maid in Manhattan, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, and our favorite television shows like Law and Order, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Madam secretary and Younger just to name a few.  She joins us today to talk about her own evolution and story of hope.
After a personal crisis went public about 10 years ago, her world turned upside down. In her latest project, Maddie wrote a play telling her own story of betrayal called Accidentally Brave, The film version of Maddie’s acclaimed solo show Accidentally Brave is currently featured on Max and was directed by her dear friend Kristin Hanggi (a guest we adore and recently had on the podcast).  With unexpected humor, Maddie Corman shares a story of perseverance and hope in the face of crisis.  Maddie is also now doing betrayal counseling and coaching work through the accidentally brave community in an effort to support people struggling with betrayal trauma as a result of sex and porn addiction or infidelity to help them reclaim their story. Maddie is married with 3 children and lives in New York.
