Mahder and her community have been tirelessly working to bring attention to the displacement that the World Health Organization has labeled as "traumatizing" and "dire". Please listen to learn more about these horrific events, and what you can do to make a difference.Warning: this episode contains themes of violence, sexual violence, and war crimes.To learn more and support efforts to assist the Tigrayan people check out the following accounts/organizations:Instagram @tigrayartcollective@mahdi_lima@peaceintigrayWebsitestigrayartcollective.org

Katarina is back from her hiatus and has officially graduated with her master's degree (woohoo) ! Season 4 teakes us back to our roots as Katarina hosts a series of conversations with incredible individuals who are ready to break out of cultural norms in order to start important conversations. Episode 1 brings us Detroit based artist Sarey Ruden, the creator behind @sareytales. Sarey has made a name for herself by taking the misogynistic messaging she receives from men on dating apps and turning it into artwork. Her work exposes the types of messages that women receive on a daily basis when searching for connections on dating apps. Through her art, Sarey reclaims the narrative and takes back her power.

Join Katarina as she brings back Chelsea, James, and Matt to discuss their feelings about Season 4 and their respective episodes. This is a conversation of reflection among individuals who feel a sense of kinship in relationship to their experiences with religion. We would like to take the time to note that while the individuals in this episode have all left a religion and have some strong feelings regarding their past experiences, we are always grateful for our audience members and podcast guests who feel strongly tied to a religion. The purpose of this podcast is to open our mindsets and listen to many different perspectives, and we so appreciate everyone who has been vulnerable enough to share their experiences. Episode produced by: Katarina Hoskins and RadioLex

In the final one on one conversation of this season, my close friend Chelsea Flint relays her experiences growing up as a Jehovah's Witness and ultimately leaving not only the religion, but as a consequence, her family as well. She discusses the hold that this religion has on its community, her increasing doubts, the pain of losing her family, and the incredible accomplishments in her life since finding independence. I know it's a long one, but it takes time to share one's life experiences. I hope you take the time to listen to Chelsea's story so that you can witness the bravery of this amazing woman. If you feel trapped, alone, or have also experienced the loss of family and want someone to talk to, Chelsea has offered her email address for questions. Please be respectful. chelsea.flint24@gmail.com Support the podcast on Patreon at www.patreon.com/warriorwomanscircle and follow us on insta @warriorwomanscircle

Katarina talks to Mark Royse, executive director at RadioLex about his journey with religion. Throughout navigating his sexuality and coping with alcoholism, Mark spent much of his life searching for the connection he once felt within the church. Tune in to hear Mark reflect on his spiritual journey and why he's feeling more at peace today. To help support community radio, check out radiolex.us

Katarina talks to James about his experiences growing up as a Seventh Day Adventist and what it was like to be a Black, Gay man within a religion that didn't accept him. He tells us about a pastor leading a double life, his own decision to come out to his family, and his life beyond the church.

A professor recounts his life growing up in a small town where the United Methodist Church was an integral part of the community. Always an academic, he spent much of his youth exploring religion as a whole, and as an adult, ultimately moved away from organized religion, but is he finished with it for good?

Katarina's back with a sneaky sneak peek into season 4! It's finally here and wow it is intense, juicy, fun, emotional, and so much more. Titled losing my religion, this season is a series of conversations with individuals who have left the religion they grew up in. Each conversation follows their story of growing up with a religion, leaving said religion, and where they are now. Great for anyone whether you are a part of an organized religion, have left one yourself, or aren't sure where you stand, these stories are personal, honest, and heartfelt.

Please join us in listening as I (your host Katarina ) talk to Warrior Woman, and Basic Needs Coordinator at the University of Kentucky, Arion Jett-Seals. Arion's life work revolves around helping others feel safe, comfortable, and heard. At the University of Kentucky she strives to provide students with basic needs such as food, money for a deposit so they can have a roof over their heads, and even advice for how to move forward. As this episode was recorded pre-quarantine/social distancing, we do not discuss Covid-19, however I know that so many of us are finding ourselves in unexpected circumstances. From losing income to feeling isolated, we are all learning what it means to need help. Arion's work at UK has always been important, and I feel especially in these trying times, her services are needed. Please listen to learn more about how to seek help or offer support in this community. What I love most about Arion and the work she does is that she creates a space reminding students that it is okay to ask for help. Women like Arion are a part of redesigning a selfish world and cultivating a society in which giving a little more to help others will go a long way.

A word from Katarina: I am beyond excited to share this interview with you all. I recorded this about a year ago in a rooftop apartment in Merida, Mexico. I had taken a trip to visit my friend and spend some time regrouping and recharging myself. A serendipitous series of events led my friend, and then me, to meet Amanda Strickland, a first time director following her dream of creating a documentary. There is nothing more energizing for me than being surrounded by independent, inspiring women, who are taking on their dreams and making things happen in the world. Amanda is one of those women for sure. The story she tells through the lens of this documentary gives voice to a community that is often underrepresented, and empowers a woman who has been hard at work as a midwife for 60 years. This conversation with Amanda, or Mandi as I know her, is a behind the scenes look at Jats'uts Meyah, a documentary that premiered this past week and can now be found on Vimeo! Before the final edits were made, and before she knew how this documentary would make its debut, Mandi talked to me about why she wanted to be director, how she came to create this film, and why it is such an important story that the world needs to see. It is an honor for me to share this conversation with you all today, Friday May 22nd, on Mandi's birthday! Thank you as always for helping us #starttheconversation . Episode produced by: Katarina Hoskins and Alan Lytle Jats'uts Meyah is directed and produced by: Amanda Strickland Song in this episode: "El Sentidos" written by Felissa Estrada, produced by Jimmy Cruz and FT Music Studio To learn more about the documentary follow @meyah_documentary on Instagram and watch it on Vimeo on demand anytime!

Female Athletes

Venus Williams is one of the many women who is kicking ass, taking names, and bringing female athletes into the spotlight. It has taken years for her to be taken seriously though, and in this episode we have gathered three women who are here to share their experiences as female athletes from different fields. Tune in to hear Katarina, Haley, Lindsay, and Kristen talk about sexism, body image, coaching, the gymnastics scandal of the #metoo era, and more! These women have some serious knowledge about the sports that they participate in and you don’t want to miss it! Thanks for listening! Kia Kaha

Sex/Touch/and Connection

Touching me touching you is this talk about...touch! Katarina, Dave, Shannon, and Gretchen talk about the culture of touch (or lack thereof) in the United States. How does nurture and touch in our early stages affect our relationships later in life, borth platonic and romantic? Are people more comfortable and connected in cultures in which touch is more prominent and laid back? We’ve got Dave’s Aussie perspective and Katarina’s travel experiences to help us light this red hot conversation. Join in and chat with us on this episode of The Warrior Woman’s Circle. Thanks for listening! Kia Kaha
