October 02219. Is Matriarchy Possible? When Women Are Given Power
In today’s episode, Betsy & Kate reflect talk about the possibility of matriarchy as opposite of our current system of patriarchy. What might happen when women are given power? We get into the nitty gritty of this today, as well as historical examples of cultures that revered women (and how they were peaceful).
In today’s episode we talk about:
Why Barak Obama fantasized what would happen if women were in charge of every government for 2 years and what he believed might happen.
How there has never been a matriarchy in what is known historically, but there is evidence of matrilineal societies where the feminine was valued, revered, and honored.
There are still matrilineal societies (160 around the world), and these cultures value partnership vs a dominator model of governance.
How the best clue to a nation’s growth and development potential is the status and role of women in that culture.
The broken systems, including what we are recently seeing at Cornell.
5 ways we can start building more matriarchal systems

September 25218. Organizing Your Space, Reclaiming Your Energy with Jenn Robb and Dani Worrell
What if clearing a closet could make room for more than clothes? This week on Tend HER Wild, we talk with professional organizers Jenn Robb and Dani Worrell about the connection between our spaces, our energy, and our sense of possibility.
In this episode, we explore:
How clutter can quietly drain our energy and attention.
Why the best organizing system is one that fits your life and the way your mind works.
The emotions and memories tied to our belongings—and how to let things go with gratitude.
How organizing can support us through moves, downsizing, grief, and other life transitions.
Why asking for help can bring relief, even when a space never looks “perfect.”
The surprising ways Jenn and Dani blend practical organizing with intuition and healing.
This conversation is an invitation to look at your space with curiosity and compassion—and consider what might open up when you make a little room.

September 18217. Comfortably Numb: Are You Feeling Your Life?
In today’s episode, Betsy & Kate reflect on how we all numb as a way to cope with life. We all experience emotions we don’t want to feel, so we distract ourselves in a myriad of ways. We frame numbing as not necessarily problematic until it became a way of life versus a form of self-regulation.
In today’s episode we talk about:
Our favorite ways of numbing.
Brene Brown’s theory/research that we cannot selectively numb: if we numb the hard stuff we also numb the good stuff.
A reflection of how numbed out we were in our 20s.
The different ways we numb: Run/Avoid, Suppress, Analyze/Think, Dissociate, Substance Use, Transcendence/Spiritual Bypass.
Why endurance can be problematic long term.

September 11216. Healing from the Inside Out with Tyeisha Washington
Tyeisha Washington, ARNP has been a caregiver for as long as she can remember. From protecting her younger brother as a child to spending more than two decades in healthcare, caring for others has always been woven into her story.
In this episode, Tyeisha shares her path from nursing assistant to board-certified nurse practitioner and entrepreneur. She opens up about the difficult work environment that pushed her to imagine a new path—and how her daughter’s diagnosis with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis inspired her to explore a more holistic, personalized approach to wellness.
That journey ultimately led Tyeisha to create Glow Hydration Station, Aesthetics & More, a space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to advocate for their health.
We explore:
The women who recognized Tyeisha’s gifts before she fully recognized them herself
Her daughter’s autoimmune diagnosis and the painful realization that her symptoms had initially been overlooked
Why women must trust what their bodies are telling them
The relationship between stress, mental health, physical health, and support
Tyeisha’s approach to education, holistic wellness, supplements, and IV hydration
The uncertainty and courage involved in leaving a steady career to become an entrepreneur
How a difficult childhood became a source of resilience, compassion, and purpose
Tyeisha also reflects on the “deep scar” that became her doorway to the Wild Woman. Rather than allowing her early experiences to define or diminish her, she used them to build a life rooted in strength, service, and stability.
Her story is a powerful reminder: listen to your body, trust your inner knowing, and never underestimate what can happen when another woman sees your gifts and says, “Yes, you can.”

September 04215. Honoring Iconic Wild Women: Dolly, Maya, & Georgia
In this episode, we explore how the Wild Woman archetype lives through three iconic women: Dolly Parton, Maya Angelou, and Georgia O’Keeffe.
Following the loss of Dolly Parton, we reflect on why her life touched so many people across generations and differences. Her wildness wasn’t rebellion for rebellion’s sake—it was radical self-definition. She transformed her Appalachian roots into art, protected ownership of her work, embraced femininity on her own terms, and used her success to create opportunities for others. Dolly represents the Wild Woman as Creator: I will make something beautiful from what I’ve been given.
Maya Angelou represents the Wild Woman as Voice. Through trauma, silence, motherhood, activism, and art, she repeatedly refused to let the world define the limits of her being. She entered the places where women can be silenced—and returned with a voice powerful enough to transform personal experience into communal wisdom. Her declaration: I will speak what I know.
Georgia O’Keeffe embodies the Wild Woman as Sovereign. She built a life around her own rhythms, perceptions, creativity, and relationship with the natural world. Through solitude and fierce independence, she listened to the call of her own life more closely than she listened to cultural expectations. Her declaration: I will live according to my own nature.
Together, these women invite us to:
Move from adaptation to instinct
Move from pleasing to authenticity
Move from silence to voice
Move from fragmentation to wholeness
Move from cultural expectations to inner authority
The Wild Woman is not simply the “bad girl” or the rebellious woman. As Clarissa Pinkola Estés describes her, she is the woman who is instinctual, creative, psychologically alive, sovereign, and unwilling to abandon herself.
Perhaps the world recognizes and honors the Wild Woman without always having language for her. Perhaps the women who embody her are, as Maya Angelou wrote, truly phenomenal women.
Dolly: Create. Maya: Speak. Georgia: Be.
Watch Maya Angelou perform “Phenomenal Woman.”

August 28214. Reclaiming Financial Power with Diana Richey
What if financial empowerment isn’t only about learning how to invest—but also about uncovering the beliefs that have shaped your relationship with money?
In this episode, we talk with investor, tax attorney, writer, and financial educator Diana Richey about the inner and outer work of building wealth. Diana grew up with financial stability and strong lessons about saving and responsibility, but she also absorbed a message familiar to many women: men make the money, while women are cared for financially.
That conditioning followed Diana into adulthood. She married young, became a “trailing spouse,” and built a successful legal career around her husband’s professional ambitions. As she approached 30, however, the life that looked successful from the outside began to feel increasingly heavy. A simple free-writing exercise helped her acknowledge what she truly wanted: nature, simplicity, freedom, and a life that felt more like her own.
Diana shares the painful story of signing a postnuptial agreement that relinquished her rights to the company her husband built during their marriage. After their divorce, the company went public for billions—and Diana was forced to confront not only the financial loss, but also the codependency, people-pleasing, and “good girl” conditioning that influenced her decision.
Rather than allowing that loss to define her, Diana used the resources she still had—her legal and financial education, her savings, and her determination—to begin studying the world’s most successful investors. Over several years, she developed her own disciplined investment process centered on research, risk awareness, and thoughtful decision-making.
Together, we explore how women can become more connected to their money, trust their instincts, and build financial confidence through action.
In this conversation:
How childhood conditioning shapes women’s relationships with money
Diana’s journey from “trailing spouse” to managing her own investments
The role of codependency, people-pleasing, and the “good girl” identity
Why financial transformation requires both inner and practical work
Investing with greater awareness, integrity, and alignment
Building confidence by starting small and learning through experience
Trusting your instincts while developing a thoughtful approach to risk
How women can use wealth to support their families, communities, and values

August 14212. The Rewilding Path
In today’s episode, Betsy & Kate reflect on the 4-week online live rewilding course they recently taught, the lessons learned, the stories told, and the 4-step framework that emerged through the experience.
In today’s episode we talk about:
What exactly is the wild woman archetype and is she even real?
How the wild woman archetype often shows up at midlife (even though a young woman in the course taught us all that rewilding can happen much earlier).
The 4-step non-linear framework that we believe the rewilding process aligns with (The Call, The Conditioning, The Reclamation, The Repeat).
The important question of rewilding: What are you longing for?
How we don’t live a life, rather we live a pattern and what this means on the rewilding path.

August 07211. Sarah Jenks: Returning to the Sacred Feminine
In today’s episode we talk to Sarah Jenks, an ordained Priestess whose work is centered around integrating Sacred Feminine wisdom and ceremony into our everyday lives. We loved Sarah’s perspective on the Sacred Feminine, the importance of it now in these changing times, and how normal and healing it feels to reconnect to it.
We talk about:
Her amazing first 10 years playing in the woods and making potions in nature outside of Boston.
How life shifted at the age of 10 when Sarah began to attend Weight Watchers and found herself in a restriction-binge eating cycle for 13 years.
The Dove chocolate moment when Sarah realized she was not well around her relationship to food, and her decision to accept she would be overweight but would have fun anyway – and how this began to break the cycle and led to an emotional eating company she founded and ran until 2017.
When Sarah first discovered feminine ceremony, and how this completely shifted her path toward studying and becoming a Priestess.
How the sacred feminine has been deliberately erased in our history and the impact this has had on women.
Her husband’s response to her announcement that she was “magical” and that she wanted a non-traditional path and non-patriarchal relationship.
The temple she co-founded with her best friend and the ceremonies she leads every 6 weeks for women in person and online where she helps people “meet their soul”.

About Sarah Jenks:
Sarah is a teacher, coach, speaker, and guide in the Sacred Feminine space whose work centers on helping women remember their brilliance, reclaim their bodies, heal internalized patriarchy, and reconnect with a more intuitive, cyclical, and authentic way of living. Her work bridges spirituality, embodiment, relationships, leadership, and personal transformation.
Sarah’s own journey included struggles with body image, emotional eating, disconnection from purpose, and feeling flat and exhausted despite external success. Through studying the Sacred Feminine and women’s wisdom traditions, she developed programs and teachings focused on helping women return to themselves rather than becoming someone new.
