In this episode, you’ll get a glimpse into my musical-loving heart as I discuss the feminist themes of the movie, Wicked, and moments in the film that took me back to a time when I had to realize a hard truth. Here’s what I cover:

• Why we all deserve to have beliefs consistent with having autonomy and being able to find what we like and what we want to do
• How the song “Defying Gravity” helped me through a challenging time in my life
• Why the realization that something that provides goodness and safety is actually doing us harm is a shared experience for many
• Each of us is worthy of being in relationships, friendships, and careers that do not exist inside circumstances that require us to ignore part of what is going on in order to be happy
• An important truth about people pleasing and gender equality is illuminated in an essay by Celeste Davis

I can't wait for you to listen.

It’s normal to want to bypass feelings of fear, worry, and sorrow during this uncertain time, but we miss the opportunity to create a vulnerable, trusting relationship with ourselves and our feelings if we send these big emotions into exile. In this episode, I discuss how moving forward starts with processing our emotions. Here’s what I cover:

• Why distraction from difficult emotions is not a bad thing when it’s balanced with emotional connection to yourself
• A visualization exercise to help you process your feelings in a way that builds deep emotional trust
• Taking the time to be with your emotions will help create the sense of safety and security needed to move forward in a way that feels good to you
• How I processed the uncertainty I feel with understanding and care for myself
• Why cultivating vulnerable trust with yourself is one of the most important things you can be doing

Giving Tuesday is December 3rd, and if you have the ability to give I hope you'll consider donating to Yapay Bolivia. I have worked with this charitable organization for the past 8 years, and 100% of the funds donated go towards lifting women and children in Bolivia out of poverty.

With the holiday season fast approaching, it’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of parties, errands, cooking, and cleaning that keep us busy.

Do you feel trapped by the “rules” of modern dating? I’m thrilled to be joined by dating coach Lily Womble in today's episode to talk about how to break free from those dumb dating rules. I want each one of you to find the relationship you’re meant to be in, and that starts with making sure you never have to settle in your dating life ever again.

Here’s what we cover:

• How Lily Womble created a dating solution so she'd never have to settle again
• Feeling free in your dating life starts with shedding your people-pleasing tendencies
• The way we show up in our dating life is influenced by what we were taught growing up
• Several “dumb dating rules” and how to break them so you can find the right relationship
• Why getting specific about your preferences will help you seek the right partner

Lily Womble is sparking a feminist revolution in the way we date and find love. She was one of the top matchmakers in the U.S., but after setting up hundreds of dates, Lily realized that the answer to finding love was much deeper than a setup, and that the way we are taught to date is still stuck in the patriarchal dark ages. She founded her company, Date Brazen, in 2018 and has since helped hundreds of women create love lives that are epic, settle-proof, and joyful-as-hell with her intersectional feminist approach.

She changes lives daily on TikTok, Top 4 Relationship Podcast- The Date Brazen Podcast, and sold-out coaching programs world-wide. Her book, Thank You, More Please: A feminist guide to breaking dumb dating rules and finding love, is changing lives around the world, published by Legacy Lit. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband, Chris.

So many of us women have not been properly educated about our bodies and how to know what is best for them. Today, I’m joined by Dr. Stephanie Hack to discuss how we can empower ourselves to advocate for what we want and need.

Here's what we cover:

• Hygiene advice for women that reflects love and care for ourselves and rejects the shame we are taught to feel
• How certain programming targets the shame women feel surrounding our bodies to sell to us
• General female anatomy and how using the anatomically correct terms helps normalize them
• Why women need to know our bodies so we can speak up about the care we want and deserve to receive
• The more conversations we have about perimenopause and menopause, the more women can learn about what our bodies go through during that time
• How YOU are the one who should ultimately decide how to take care of YOUR body

Stephanie Hack, MD, MPH, is a board-certified ob/gyn, podcast host, speaker, and founder of a women's health educational platform. Her special interests in health education and women's health empowerment have led to a career spanning two decades.

It’s important to remember that you’re not alone, and we can support each other as we continue to learn about women's health. I can't wait for you to listen.

What have you been apologizing for lately?

I’ve realized I’ve been apologizing for everything, and in most cases, none of my actions have warranted an apology.

Tune in this week to slow down and take a moment to examine the things you apologize for. Do they all actually warrant an apology, or has your “good-girl” programming been taking over? Join me as I share my two hard and fast rules for when to apologize and learn how to get yourself out of auto-pilot to a place where you can honor your needs unapologetically. I can’t wait for you to listen.
