Is Mercury in retrograde or is it Pluto? Buckle up for some squirrely, but powerful, moments of dialogue between Katie and Gen as they gear up for MTM week! It feels like the Friday before summer vacation energy, and hits like a therapeutic night with the girls. Katie and Gen bounce from discussing our parasympathetic system and how the way we perceive stress can influence its impact on us. To talking about the power of our thoughts and coming back to ourselves in the present moment. What does it mean to live as the healed person we are and how do we find growth in rest? Neurology, sound bowls, a mini lesson in pronunciation, and a reminder to not take ourselves too seriously. We can't wait to see you in person this Saturday for our 4th annual Motivation Through Movement! Resources from today's episode: Motivation Through Movement! Womeness IG Womeness Community

What happens when we hit the pause button and hold more space for ourselves? When we listen more and stop giving power to our excuses? Tedi opens up about her sobriety and elaborates on her view on manifestation and how to take action to attract. She also explains how there is truth in our identity and how to create intentional internal dialogue to guide us towards a more fulfilling life.

This week we elaborate on the science behind manifestation and how to turn your visions from a dream into your reality. We're not just talking vision boards and crystals, though those certainly have an important space here. We're talking about stepping forward and taking action on those goals and visions of yours. In true Womeness fashion, we're walking you through step by step processes our team has used in their manifestation practices. What questions can you ask yourself to get specific about what you want in this life and how to show up in this world? How do we come into a higher version of ourself? And what does it mean to change our neuroplasticity to enhance our belief system about self? Set aside some quiet time for you and your ideas, grab your Womeness pen and journal, and get ready to spend some time acknowledging what you want and reclaiming your deservingness. It's time to get serious about manifestation Womeness! Dr. Joe Dispenza

Have you spent time lately thinking about how you want to show up in the world? Whether it be through journaling, conversation, dreaming, or vision curation, you've likely implemented some form of manifestation for how you want to show up in this life.    Gen and Katie share their viewpoints on Manifestation, including their beliefs around it, where it has shown up for them in their lives, and what they are currently manifesting.    Manifestation goes beyond wishing for something though. Gen and Katie break down what they believe to be the recipe behind manifestation including the science, spirituality, intentions, self-awareness, and reclaiming our self-worth. Stay tuned for part 2 where Katie and Gen elaborate on questions to ask yourself when getting particular about what you want and how to be intentional with manifestation.

Happy Galentine's WEEK from your Womeness Community! We're extending a day dedicated to celebrating friendships with the nearest and raddest ladies in your life to a full week as we chat all things friendship. PS. Thank you Donna Meagle for making such a day a thing.  Gen and Katie chat through the evolution of friendships including tips for forming meaningful relationships, why creating and maintaining friendships can be challenging as adults, the average life span on friendships and the health benefits of connection. And buckle up, because they get a little feelsy and vulny chatting through their personal evolution and lessons learned in friendships. What we really want to know are who will Katie recruit on her team when the zombie apocalypse hits? And would you go or have you gone to counseling with a friend?  We're keeping it real, and walking the line of not “too” serious with out community on this week's celebration of all the Womeness relationships in your life.

Oh the ladies of the Womeness Podcast are in full no filter mode and giving no fudges on this week's episode. If you can't be yourself with the Womeness Community, where can you be? Gen and Katie don't hold back on the real deals going on in their lives and invite you in for a little QT as they share what is “in” and what is “out” for them during this funky season of their lives. To name a few: In - self-compassion, gut health, braids, and mid-afternoon naps. Out - judgement of self, cold sores, yeast infections, ego, and hustle culture.    They also open up about their beliefs and perspective around mother nature's season of slowing down amidst a number of micro topics and questions. Why do we associate “doing nothing” with being lazy or complacent? Where does our hustle culture mindset came from and how do we make choices that feel authentic to us? As well as the art and significance behind doing nothing, getting out of fight or flight to access our creative juices, and the surprising (or convincing) benefits of allowing ourselves to find the opposite of busyness in presence. If life feels a bit hectic or you're in a season of feeling overwhelmed, Katie and Gen invite you to kick back and take it easy with them on this episode of the Womeness Podcast.   Resources from today's episode: @Womeness_CommunityWomeness WebsiteWomeness EventsBooks from today's episode: Do Nothing: How To Break Away From Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving by Celeste Headlee The Art of Doing Nothing: Simple Ways to Make Time for Yourself by Véronique Vienne

We are grateful to welcome the creator behind the Alcohol Tipping Point, Deb Masner, with a conversation around the cascade effect of changing our drinking habits and how to practice “not drinking”.

We cram a lot of in a short period of time as we discuss rewriting dopamine habits, taking out the shame and stigma around alcohol and addiction, why people struggle to quit drinking (and the resources Deb provides that can help), and how the body and mind are capable of change.

It's a double whammy convo as Katie and Gen chat Financial Wellness and do a quick end of year recap! To say this convo didn't come with a little squirming in the seat of discomfort and some wet eye balls, would be a lie. And Katie and Gen are about as honest and transparent as they come. This may not be the most, eloquent conversation, as rawness is revealed in what society has formed as a Taboo topic of conversation around our relationship and traumas around finances. What would happen if money was a more frequent conversation of discussion? Could it lead to higher pay for women? More confidence in discussing financial questions and worries? And how does the way we think and talk about money influence the way we perceive our personal value and abilities? As we segue into a 2023 recap, Gen and Katie open up about impactful moments, lessons learned, what they are choosing to leave behind and what they want to bring with them into 2024. They also demonstrate why creating communities that allow us to show up with the "v" word are such an important value of Womeness Community. THANK YOU for a great year Womeness, we look forward to welcoming a vibrant 2024 with you! Resources from today's episode: Womeness WebsiteWomeness Events

In this deeply heartfelt conversation, Amber shares her experience with loss as she has navigated her way through grief, miscarriage and stillbirth, and being stripped away from her identity, job, friends, and purpose.

Since then she's given 100+ keynote speeches in over 30 different states, published her book "Sugar Linings", and ridden her bike 4,300 miles from New York City to San Francisco alongside a team of 20 fellow type 1 diabetics. But she doesn't allow herself to stop there. This entrepreneur and visionary is now running her business, 3D PrinTcess full time, and drops a little sneak peak of her next company ready to launch her next company. Sierra opens up the floor to a dialogue about owning the complexity of being a woman and how we are not limited to being just one thing. There's a lot of vulnerability in this conversation as Sierra opens up about body image, showing up authentically herself despite judgement and criticism, and what's next on her radar as she prepares to welcome the next chapter of her life.     Resources from today's episode:   @sierrasandison 3D-Printcess.com xosierra.com Womeness Website Womeness In the Wilderness Events Donate to Womeness Community 501(c)(3)

Let's be honest, not only can it be challenging to make friends as adults, it can also be difficult to keep up with the current relationships in our lives. Not because we don't value these relationships, but because staying invested in our relationships requires being intentional about showing up and staying curious about the people in our lives. Do you find yourself in a rut with old relationships? Feeling distant? Feeling your needs unmet or not knowing where you stand with old relationships that used to seem almost effortless? Just as you as an individual are evolving, the other people in your life are as well. As a result, the way our relationships play out in our lives will evolve along the way. Katie, Amber, and Gen open up about making and maintaining the relationships in their lives as they've gotten older and experienced transitions in lives. They also take us through a quick, but thoughtful exercise you can do weekly (or even daily) with the relationships in your life to stay curious and invested in the growth. Stay for what might be one of their favorite editions to the Womeness podcast and some hardcore belly laughs. Sorry in advance if we make you ink.

The one and only Lauren Lee is back this week to give a spin on mindfulness while living in the "and". What is the "and"?

Lauren and Gen also discuss how the conjunction "and" just may be the solution to respectful and purposeful disagreements and conversations in our lives. Looking for more ease in your life, relationships, and conversations? Living in the "and" just may be the solution!
