Podcasts about feminine collective

I caught up with local singer-songwriter, Ynana Rose as she gears up for her single release party this Friday, May 9 at Sonic Milk Studios in Cambria. We've followed Ynana's story for about 6 years now and have seen and heard so much genuine humanness from her along the way. With her personal, heartfelt lyricism and the wonderful arrangements behind them, Ynana Rose has brought such beautiful music to our local scene picking up some New Times Music Awards along the way. In the past few years, she's been heading up a local artist support and idea sharing group known as The Feminine Collective. (IG: @thefemininecollectiveslo). Ynana has given so much of herself to our community. Give a little back and grab a ticket for her release party! Enjoy this new, very intimate cover of Fleetwood Mac's 1975 hit, Landslide and lots of other gems from her catalog. It's going to be a performance to remember with Yana backed by a group of amazing musicians, including her son Luca on piano. He's also featured on this new track with his own piano arrangement adding such a special layer to an overall amazing recording produced by Rob Vermuelen of Robbo Music.

We have a HOT episode for you today, as we discuss something that feels rampant in the feminine collective right now. The feminine collective is up against a lot right now with romantic relationships. As a sisterhood collective, we're having challenges finding aligned romantic partners, men that truly rise to meet us where we are at. Have you ever felt like a powerhouse in your career but found yourself disempowered in love? We see you. We feel you. And we're not shying away from the tough conversations about the gap between our deep ideals and standards of divine union and the stark truths of modern dating (Tinder anyone?).There is major tension happening right now between men and women. We feel that the feminine collective is evolving at a much more rapid rate than the masculine collective, leaving us wondering where we are going to meet a man that will rise to meet us. A man that will empower, lead with his heart, be the sacred masculine container to our divine feminine desires. As spiritual women, we can also become mystified by what feels like (or is) a "spiritual connection" in the beginning of a relationship, and we end up hurt as it progresses, feeling misled by not only the man we've been dating, but also by our own intuition. In our heart-to-heart, we circle around the beacon of self-love, illuminating its crucial role in attracting a love that fulfills and uplifts. We muse on the delicate dance of HOLDING our standards while remaining open to the deeper,  meaningful connections that pave the way to truly divine partnerships.You don't want to miss this episode if you are a single woman. Join us to feel like you're in on our chit-chat, while feeling supported, seen, and heard. WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR DATING STORIES!

Briony Goodsell is a sacred birth keeper, postpartum doula, feminine yoga teacher and womb medicine woman as well as a devoted mama. She supports women in embodying our divine feminine power, reconnecting to our wombs, our cycles, and our own sacredness through feminine earth wisdom. In this episode we dive into the feminine rites of passage, including menarche (first bleed) to explore WHY this is a sacred initiation that needs to be observed, honoured and celebrated with intention and respect. We talk about: ➳ Briony's own initiation into the divine feminine, through experiencing an eating disorder, challenges in conception + miscarriage, and her journey to coming home to her body and into the work she does now ➳ We talk about what the feminine rites of passage ARE ➳ And in particular we circle back to Menarche, our first bleed. ➳ We talk about WHY this is such a pivotal time in a girl's transition into woman ➳ Including the stories we learn and conditioning that we receive ➳ We talk about some of the seemingly inconsequential things that can impact our menarche ➳ We chat about what an empowered menarche might look and feel like - how we can create this, not just for ourselves, but for future generations ➳ We talk about the importance of the Maiden archetype and why it holds power and magick that is ESSENTIAL in our journey, and some of the ways the Maiden is disregarded or denigrated in our culture ➳ We talk about the repercussions of NOT experiencing a lovingly supported menarche, so what happens when a girl is NOT lovingly and respectfully guided into her feminine power upon her first bleed —  and how this shows up at the alter of birth and pregnancy (and our transition into Mother, whether you physically give birth or not). ➳ We talk about the importance of connecting to other women, especially our elder, wise women, the magas and crones. ☾ Plus so much more ☾ EPISODE RESOURCES Jane Hardwicke Collings Burning Woman by Lucy H Pearce Women Who Run With the Wolves by Dr Clarissa Pinkola Estes «««« ⎊ »»»» CONNECT WITH BRIONY On Instagram @sacredfemininecollective Over on her website CONNECT WITH RACHEL ⁠Download my FREE Womb Clearing Guide⁠ ⁠Follow me on Instagram⁠ ⁠Work with me⁠ «««« ⎊ »»»» COSMIC WEAVINGS - FREE MONTH (MARCH ONLY) Your map and compass to the new/full moon, monthly energies and seasonal celebrations.

Cora's Kitchen by Kimberly Garrett Brown (Inanna Publications 2022) is a striking novel told in letters, journal entries, and a series of stories written by an educated young Black mother, wife, and librarian. Cora, who works at Harlem's 135th Street library, reads a powerful poem by the young Langston Hughes, who begins to offer advice about her own writing. She's awakened to thoughts about society and the role of women, prejudice, and the plight of Black women. Cora is ambitious, but loyal, and stepping in to help a family member leads to a series of events that could destroy her life. She's ultimately surprised to find herself longing to be back in her tiny apartment cooking for her own family, raising her kids, and working in the library stacks. The experience gives her the fortitude to plunge ahead as a writer. KIMBERLY GARRETT BROWN is Publisher and Executive Editor of Minerva Rising Press.

Here we are, the final episode of the “That Girl” series! I can't believe it! Today I want to talk more about atmospheres and really dive into all the difference it can make in your life and in your conversations. If you are a part of my blog community, then you probably read last Sunday about how I took my daughter out of state to design school. Side note, if you aren't a part of my blog community, make sure you subscribe at https://www.amandaferguson.org. The reason why my husband and I took my daughter out of state to design school, was we discovered she was just too advanced  for her current school and needed a change in atmosphere. She needed to be in the right community to flourish. If you've read my Woman, Arise book available at https://www.womanarisethebook.com, then you know I talk about the difference of how I grieved my mother's passing and my miscarriage. It was community - grieving with the right people made all the difference. As adults, I think we underestimate the power of community. I'e watched my children on their first day of school find a friend. Our nature is to desire  community for bonding and when we stop craving that, usually its because of offense or anger. So, I want to share three things that will help you find the right community:1.{3:48} Atmospheres are important. Being in the right atmosphere can replenish and refresh you. If you are in the wrong atmosphere, it can drain you and suck the life out you. Taking my daughter out of state introduced her to a new atmosphere that refreshed her and was a place where she could grow. If you aren't growing in your atmomosphere, then something in you is dying because we are made to flourish. What type of atmosphere are you in now?  
2.{5:35} What conversations are you entertaining? Conversations around beauty, your life, God's design and your visions are life giving conversations. Conversations of gossip, unforgiveness and bitterness only produce chaos. Conversations you entertain, will be what you produce in your life. Ask yourself this: are the conversations you are having life giving, energizing and healing to you? In that new atmosphere my daughter was in, I noticed she was having different conversations with the other girls who had been there before. They were teaching her new things. Feminine Collective is just like that and it's not my community our community. It's for us women who want to live for Jesus.  
It was amazing to see how quickly my daughter adapted and lit up during those conversations. When you see other women tearing each other down, I want you to be a part of the solution that says, “Why are you tearing down someone that you don't know?” I've seen some of my closets friend ripped to shreds over false opinions online. Be the type of woman with a different conversation. Every person who tries to attack you when you are putting your best foot forward, don't let that get to you.3. {12:04} Future planning. Where there is no vision the people perish. One thing I noticed, was that all the girls were sharing with each other what they would make in the future. Some said they would design wedding dresses or anniversary dresses and my daughter said she will even make me a birthday dress. The point is they were all submersed in the vision for their future. My thought is this: I cannot bond over the past, I'm not there anymore. Last thing, you were not made to be a loner, you were made to be in community. That's something that me and over a hundred ladies are building in Feminine Woman Collective and I want you to be a part of it. Registration officially closes tonight, so make sure to visit http://femininewomancollective.com to join vibrant community of women encouraging women.   Scriptures:Proverbs 29:18

One of the things I respect so much about Ali is that she put herself out there in the industry when it was first getting started, in a room full of men I must add, and she's allowed herself to be really visible and bold.  She's hilarious and so powerful in what she is doing right now, and as you get to know Ali, you'll learn more about the amazing things she is bringing to the world. As you listen to this episode I invite you to really feel inside yourself as a woman, and see the opportunity to have powerful, gorgeous conversations with other women. See their beauty, see their truth, and no longer feel that old dynamic of being triggered, competitive, or any of the things that so many of us have experienced inside of the Feminine Collective.  If this episode with Ali resonated with you, we'd love it if you would let us know your biggest takeaway from our conversation by tagging us, @elegantfemme1and @alibrownofficial.

Today we're tapping into the overall energy of the feminine collective when it comes to matters of the heart and what might be needing healing during this retrograde.

I felt so called to pull a card for the divine feminine collective for this weeks episode- I pulled from the Rebecca Campbell, Work Your Light Oracle. This year is your year... its our year.. Its a year where we peel back the juicy layers and experience not only the flow and ease of leaning back and receiving all we have been working for but also being deeply present with the dark energy of the feminine as well. The delicious feeling of feeling it all, honouring the beautiful mess of every part of our beings so we can co-create with the universe from an aligned place. This year we take back our power This year we surrender Want to go deeper into this work? Join us on January 29th @ 11:00 a.m. MST for She Receives! A 90 (ish) Min workshop for the woman who's ready to co-create with the universe, surrender and receive a life beyond your wildest dreams. Tickets here

The stereotype of the starving artist still pervades the social conscious, but creatives know it’s more complex than that: you work to feed yourself, family, and the art. The question becomes, “How much time can I dedicate to my craft and pay rent?” Artists have navigated this question in many ways but deciding to go full-time with their creative practice is a big leap for many. Others work full-time jobs to pay the bills and work on their art around that fact. Both bring their own pros and cons. We will have two guests to offer their experiences in navigating their creative practices around the question of going full-time with their art. Icess Fernandez Rojas is an educator, writer, podcaster, and a former journalist. She is a graduate of Goddard College's MFA program.

His lifelong fascination with aging and how change occurs over time led him to undergo a deep self-psychoanalysis through the abstraction of his first seven series spanning over a decade. All Garcia’s earlier works are pieces of a larger puzzle. To analyze, document, and assemble this puzzle, he took two years away from the art scene, several months of which he spent isolated in central Mexico. There, he mapped and constructed a theoretical model that captures the intersection of experience, awareness, and control across time and subject matter (Humanity’s Sustainable Infinite). In late 2015, he announced the completion and publication of his first book, One Ton Goldfish: In Search of the Tangible Dream, a retrospective of his seven series in which Garcia’s personal truth carried some universal meaning that lead to the creation of his theoretical model and latest works. Since, Garcia has been featured at the Venice Biennale, Art Basel, Seattle art fair, and Florence Biennale, which honored the centennial of Da Vinci. There was a guest lecture on art and science, and awarded the Medici medal for his exhibition.Intro music: "Ike is Gone" by Nick Gaitan.Support the show (https://fresharts.org/about-fresh-arts/friends-of-fresh-arts/)

Today we have an awesome nomination as our guest! I always love it when things like this work out, and I just have to thank Jessica Ribera for being so willing and open to jump into our conversation so blindly. Jonny, a former bandmate of mine, nominated Jessica Ribera for today's episode. She and I talk about the moments we share while dealing with our respective pains and losses. Jessica lost her ballet career. I lost my career as a cellist. Today we both find ourselves using the word writer as a self-descriptor. Before you go and think this is gonna be a sob fest of an episode, it's not. Jessica and I both retain our emotional sobriety today, however we do talk about the moments we denied our lack of emotional sobriety and instead tried to numb or deny the pain we were so vividly fighting to feel. We talk about writing. We talk about being honest. We talk about career-ending injuries. We talk about gaining, losing, and regaining our vision for the possibility. Y'all. This is such a good, honest, discussion. Thank you Jonny for nominating Jessica Ribera to join the Bare Naked Bravery community. On that note, if you have someone you'd like to nominate for the show - go for it! You can visit barenakedbravery.com/be-our-guest and submit your person right now. We ONLY feature guests who've been nominated on the show. We do this because it keeps things real and it keeps us talking about the resonant bravery we see all around us. If you're curious about what resonant bravery is, go read my book (available on Amazon right now in all formats!) I talk alllll about resonant bravery in the first third of the book. If you're listening to this episode now and haven't read the book yet, there's a good chance that you should go get yourself a copy. Okay, back to Jessica Ribera. You're gonna love her. Her writing has been featured on Scary Mommy, The Mighty, and Feminine Collective. She's a business school grad, doula, mom, and soooo much more. Most of all she's real. and like we say later in the conversation, even though her pain is uniquely hers, pain is pain and we've all experienced the dull ache of some version of it. Sharing it together can make it more manageable. Please enjoy my brand new friend Jessica Ribera!   Brave Takeaway Beyond your free Bravery Bundle (which is always available at barenakedbravery.com) your Brave Take-Away from today's show is to pop into the Bare Naked Bravery Community facebook group and share your "hiding under the desk" moment.

More About Jessica Ribera At 17, Jessica moved from Texas to Seattle all by my big self to dance at the Pacific Northwest Ballet. 3 years later a stage accident changed her plans. Fighting her way back to the belief that her creative efforts matter and that she STILL is a dancer and creator in spite of a career-ending injury has been the central lens for her learning, personal development, and (most crucially!) desire to love and empower others for the past 13 years. She's been a dancer, business school graduate, art advocate and curator, board member, mother, doula, chronically ill person, and whatever else, but she's really only ever trying to find new ways to be truthful, useful, and kind. Writing, once only a coping mechanism, finally asserted itself as new passion and goal, though learning to call herself "writer" has required her to face her fear of giving herself to an art form again. The loss of ballet was terrible, but in her writing she sees that the gains might, MIGHT, just have been worth it. She's currently shaping a memoir of her time as a dancer, the loss, and the ongoing recovery. Her writing has appeared on Scary Mommy, The Mighty, and Feminine Collective, but all the good stuff is at jeskybera.com.
