Women AF Podcast

In this last episode before we break for the summer, we take some time to reflect on this podcast and examine what exactly “Women AF” means. We talk about all the ways that creating this show has helped us become more confident, more aware,and more compassionate — in other words, more woman AF than ever! And, of course, we know you are too. 

We appreciate all of your support throughout the past “season”! Keep up with us on social media to see what we’re up to and how our summer goals are going:

Have you ever thought about starting a podcast? Or wondered why we started Women AF? This week we tell you how the three of us came to join forces to make our podcast dream a reality. We talk about refining our idea for the show, how it has evolved since the early days, and some of the challenges we never saw coming.

This week our topic is inspired by Mother’s Day, when we all try our best to recognize the moms in our life who do so much — we’re talking about appreciation. We discuss how much “quality time” with our families we really want for Mother’s Day, how we prefer to be recognized for a job well done as an employee, and what we feel constitutes genuine appreciation.

In this episode we expand on last week's topic, femininity, and examine the idea of masculinity. We discuss traditional expectations of what it means to "be a man," how those expectations can be damaging and become toxic, and how stereotypically feminine ideals exist in relation to masculinity as the "default."

How relevant do you think traditional ideas of masculinity are in today's world? Email us at [email protected] or reach out on the socials:

This week we try to untangle the complex topic of femininity: What does it mean to each of us? How does it relate to gender? Is it more about personality traits or physical appearance? The layers get deeper when Adam throws in some thoughts from a male perspective. All of that, combined with the fact that “femininity” is actually a pretty hard word to say, leads to a pretty interesting conversation.

What does femininity mean to you? We’d love to hear some more thoughts on this one! Email us at [email protected] or reach out on the socials:

This week we tap into the mind of a Gen Z-er when we chat with 18-year-old Lucinda Brown, who's wrapping up her final year of high school. We have so many questions for her: What’s it like doing high school virtually? How did you go about making plans for college in the middle of a pandemic? Can we really not part our hair on the side anymore? What does “yeet” actually mean? Listen in, then check out the song she wrote!

After wrapping up our One Year In series, we reflect on how we're feeling after a year of pandemic living. As three moms working remotely, we're struggling under expectations of being constantly "on" and available in all areas of our life ... but who's actually putting the pressure on? (Hint: it's us.) We realize that while we're amazing enough to be superwomen who do it all, it's healthy and necessary to take a break — so we're taking next week off from the podcast! See you in 2 weeks! 

What’s your favorite way to take a break from life’s responsibilities? Give us some tips on relaxing at:

This week brings us yet another great guest for our “One Year In” series! Andrea Keapproth, massage therapist and owner of Resolution Health Collaborative in Madison, tells us what it’s like running a business that focuses on person-to person contact during a pandemic. Andrea shares her holistic approach to wellness, impresses us with her calm vibe and definitely makes us want to stop in at Resolution for a massage and some sauna time.

Today’s episode continues our “One Year In” series with Hathaway Terry-Pogue, co-owner and director of promotions for Ale Asylum, Madison’s first microbrewery and the source of some of Madison’s favorite local beers. We had so much fun (and some good laughs) chatting with Hathaway about Ale Asylum’s creative response to the pandemic in the form of a new beer named FVCK COVID, how they’ve weathered the past year, and how she’s enjoyed forming relationships with other leading women in the local brewing community.
