Podcasts about Femininity

What makes a man decide that a woman isn't just someone he wants to date—but someone he wants to marry?At Podcast Summit, I had the opportunity to sit down with entrepreneurs and podcast mentors CJ and David Shands and ask them a deceptively simple question: Why did you choose your wife?Their answers led to a much bigger conversation.In this episode of The Secret Formula of Femininity, you'll hear directly from CJ and David about the qualities they saw in their wives, the role boundaries played, and what made these women stand out as people they wanted to build a life with.Then, as a licensed psychologist, I unpack their answers through the lens of relationship psychology and healthy love.We explore:What makes attraction different from long-term compatibilityThe qualities two married men valued in the women they choseWhy healthy boundaries can make a woman more—not less—relationally secureThe difference between attracting someone and building with someoneWhy women shouldn't turn men's preferences into another performance checklistWhat we should be asking ourselves if marriage and healthy partnership are the goalBecause the most important question isn't simply:“How do I get someone to choose me?”A better question may be:“What am I bringing into the relationship I'm asking for?”

Have you ever met someone who treated you well… and still found yourself wondering if something was missing?As a psychologist, I've seen this happen more often than most people realize.Many women say they want peace, consistency, and emotional safety—but when they finally experience those qualities, they can feel unfamiliar because chaos, uncertainty, or emotional highs and lows have become what their nervous system recognizes as "normal."In this episode of The Secret Formula of Femininity, I invite you into a different kind of conversation. Together, we'll compare two relationships, explore how your nervous system responds to each, and uncover why healthy love often feels different than we've been taught to expect.In this episode you'll learn:

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Jose Duran.About Jose Duran: Born in Moca, Dominican Republic, Duran is a painter, designer, and sculptor whose work constructs elaborate, opulent interiors rooted in Baroque and Rococo traditions. His practice is grounded in extensive research into survival, celebration, vengeance, sabotage, and aspirational desire within Black communities. Duran centers Black feminine figures in his compositions as a reclamation of their historically overlooked contributions to European standards of taste, and as a form of retribution for generations of forced labor under colonial rule.In the conversation, Duran discusses his early career in fashion, including time spent studying and working in Paris, as well as an MBA program in Taipei focused on the Asian luxury market. He explains his decision, at age 41, to leave the fashion industry behind and commit fully to becoming a visual artist, a shift shaped in part by a residency in Senegal that marked his entry into the art world.Duran describes the influence of his late mother, a hairstylist whose gatherings between the Bronx and the Dominican Republic shaped his early understanding of beauty, celebration, and hospitality. He also outlines his research process, including his study of the historical relationship between textiles and the transatlantic slave trade, and his investigation into love-attraction plants once used by enslaved women in the Caribbean, both of which directly inform his work.The conversation also touches on Duran's early relationship with artist Mickalene Thomas, and how that connection shaped both his confidence and his development as an artist.Follow Jose Duran on Instagram at @joseduranstudio to keep up with his work and future projects.Photo courtesy of subject.

The history of the witch hunts, the devaluation of female power, and how to tap into your witchy side, with Good Witch author and journalist Lucianne Tonti. Lucianne Tonti is an Australian-based fashion expert, author, and journalist. She’s the fashion editor of The Saturday Paper, sustainability editor of ELLE Australia and a contributor to The Guardian. In 2022, Lucianne published her award-winning book Sundressed: Natural Fibres and the Future of Fashion, which explores the garment industry and how regenerative fibre farming can help revolutionise the future of clothing. Now, Lucianne has written Good Witch, a brand new non-fiction book that explores how the witch hunts were the catalyst for much of what is wrong with our world today: climate change, our disconnection from nature, and the corrupt patriarchal systems we live under. Good Witch looks back at the witch hunts that swept Europe and America in the 16, 17 and 18th centuries and explores how ‘witchy’ or ‘women’s work’ like gardening and textiles is regaining popularity in the current moment. We hope you enjoy this chat and if you want to see more of Lucianne's work, you can follow her on Instagram. Watch this episode on YouTube and follow us on Substack.

Co-Host Lauren Salaun (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/essence) We talk about the masculine/feminine dance quite a bit around here, but what is the very essence of femininity? And especially, how would a woman define that herself? My first-time guest is Lauren Salaun, who is a transformational facilitator and somatic life coach. When she came to me with the idea for this show, at first it sounded a bit basic. But after 500 episodes, we've never talked about it the way she presents it. So what IS femininity, and what ISN'T it? And how do women sometimes exhibit "masculine energy" even as feminine women? What are feminine women actually looking for in a man, beyond those surface-level interview questions? How can a man bring out a woman's feminine energy, and what do men do to shut it down? Why can a woman be soft with one man and hard with another? What's the difference between a woman who wants you vs. one who just chooses you? What makes a woman feel safe enough to fully open up and surrender? Next, why attraction fades, and the subtle ways men lose it without realizing. What's the dynamic between masculine leadership and feminine trust? What does emotional safety actually look like to a woman? And by the way, what does it even mean to "regulate your nervous system"?

Gillian Flynn's novel Gone Girl defined a literary niche when it first came out in 2012, and it still defines it to this day. David Fincher's great 2014 adaptation—written in collaboration with Flynn—is one of the greatest and most fun movie thrillers of the 21st century. Now I want to present you with a terrifying scenario: What if this book had come out three years later, and instead of this glorious 2.5-hour film, we got a boring 12-hour streaming series? Come on, you can see it right now in your mind: Episode 3 is a flashback to Amy's life as a child, with none of the regular actors in it. Episode 9 is the Desi episode, and Amy finally arrives at his door right before the closing credits. No thank you. And so 1-Week Rental is here to take you through the history of that movie. How Gillian Flynn wrote her novel and then worked closely with Fincher on the production, how perfect the casting of both Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike was, how Reese Witherspoon produced the movie with the intention of playing Amazing Amy herself only to be told by Fincher she was all wrong for the part, and how this movie is loosely based on the lives of Laci Roth and Matt Stokes. Did you know that? Watch the history segment in full on YouTube: https://youtu.be/i0WuyvYAyrg  We're off next week (June 5, 2026).

Are you an established coach, healer, creative, or sacred leader who feels a subtle restlessness brewing underneath your success? If what used to fulfil you suddenly feels hollow, it's not a problem to fix - it is a clear sign that your soul is ready to expand into a deeper layer of your purpose. In this video, me, a spiritual teacher and ordained priestess Eléonore de Posson, explains why you cannot figure out your purpose with your logical mind. Because your soul is infinite, your purpose is an unfolding initiation rather than a final destination to be "found."Together, we break down how true soul embodiment requires moving away from carbon-copy business strategies and instead surrendering to the alchemical process of the death-rebirth cycle. You will also discover the ancient Law of Dharma, why women are literal energetic portals for the unseen, and why true spiritual mastery cannot be achieved in isolation.

Confidence. Modesty. Purity culture. Femininity. Being “sexy.” Whew… yeah, the Aunties went THERE.

Ashley King and Sophie Lovett run the international side of Pearl, the AI company that reads dental radiographs — and they turn up as a self-confessed package deal. The chat starts with what the tech actually does (a second opinion for clinicians, and a way to help patients finally see what's going on in their own mouths), but it doesn't stay there for long. Payman, Ashley and Sophie get into US versus UK dentistry, the state of the NHS, why trust beats price every time, and how AI is creeping into everyday work. Then it gets personal: women and AI, the awkwardness of asking for a pay rise, what happens when a woman out-earns her partner, and whether having children is selfless or selfish. Honest, funny and occasionally controversial — this one wanders well beyond the X-ray.In This Episode00:00:50 - Life at a start-up 00:02:20 - Life on the road 00:04:35 - Distributors or your own office 00:06:05 - What Pearl does 00:09:30 - Accuracy and limits 00:10:45 - A controversial take 00:12:45 - AI and the future 00:18:35 - A cottage industry 00:21:20 - US vs UK dentistry 00:24:40 - NHS vs private 00:30:20 - Getting set up 00:34:00 - The price 00:35:40 - Why trust is everything 00:37:45 - The word "sell" 00:40:35 - Living in London 00:46:50 - The worst of America 00:51:50 - Politics 00:56:05 - AI in their own work 01:00:50 - Women and AI 01:02:30 - The pay rise problem 01:05:20 - The gender pay gap 01:08:25 - Femininity as power 01:11:00 - Relationships and self-reliance 01:13:55 - Children01:16:30 - Out-earning a partner 01:25:10 - "I'm just a hygienist" 01:26:30 - Business influences 01:33:50 - Biggest business mistakes 01:38:40 - Competitors and USP 01:45:40 - Guilty pleasures 01:49:05 - Fantasy dinner party 01:54:00 - Ministry of SoundAbout Ashley King & Sophie LovettAshley King leads international partnerships at Pearl, having started out in dental back in 2018 at VOCO; she's from North Carolina and now calls London home.

The two are best friends as much as colleagues — which is exactly why they turned up to record together.

You've done the healing.You've journaled, gone to therapy, set boundaries, and worked on yourself…So why do relationships still feel confusing, triggering, or harder than they should?In this episode of The Secret Formula of Femininity, Dr. Nicole Monteiro breaks down the truth that many women aren't told:Self-work prepares you for love… but it doesn't automatically teach you how to relate.In this episode, we explore:• Why healing alone doesn't translate to relationship success • The difference between self-awareness and relational skills • Why you still feel triggered even after doing the work • The three missing pieces: emotional regulation, communication, and pattern awareness • Why relationships activate deeper layers of growth • What it actually takes to build healthy, lasting loveIf you've ever felt like you've done “everything right” but still struggle in relationships… this episode will help you understand why—and what to do next.

Most spirituality was made by men for men. And so we wonder why it does not feel like it was made for us. Well honey, we are a little different. A little more beautiful. We have this thing called a womb and we just feel differently. And that is not a weakness. That is our spiritual pathway.   In this solocast recorded from my home altar I am sharing the daily practices that have genuinely changed how I feel, how I show up and how I move through life. From flowers and tinctures to how I dress, how I decorate my home and why I believe the subtle feminine path creates more lasting change than any plant medicine ceremony.   In this episode we explore:

Have you ever quietly wondered if motherhood means losing yourself?Your identity, ambition, femininity, relationship, peace, dreams.In this deeply honest episode, we're talking about motherhood, mum guilt, burnout, identity loss, feminine energy, ambition, relationships after kids, and how to raise children without completely abandoning yourself in the process.Because somewhere along the way, women were sold the idea that being a "good mother" means self-sacrifice, exhaustion, over-functioning, and quietly disappearing.I disagree.In this episode, I'm sharing my honest thoughts on:- how to be a present mother without losing your identity- mum guilt and why it can quietly run your life- balancing motherhood, business, ambition, and family- feminine energy after children- why burnout is not a badge of honour- over-functioning, resentment, and emotional exhaustion- relationships after children and why standards matter more, not less- asking for help, support systems, and why support is not failure- how to stay connected to yourself while raising young children- why your children benefit from a mother who is emotionally regulated, fulfilled, and aliveIf you've ever felt overwhelmed as a mother, guilty for wanting more, scared of losing yourself after kids, emotionally exhausted from doing everything, anxious about balancing motherhood and ambition, or like becoming a mother meant losing the woman you used to be.. this episode is for you.Motherhood should expand you.

You're doing everything right… so why are you always tired?In this episode of The Secret Formula of Femininity, Dr. Nicole Monteiro explores the hidden connection between perfectionism and chronic physical fatigue—and why rest alone isn't fixing your exhaustion.Many women feel “tired but wired”—mentally alert but physically depleted. This episode breaks down why that happens and how perfectionism, over-functioning, and nervous system dysregulation keep your body stuck in a cycle of burnout.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why you feel exhausted even when you rest • The connection between perfectionism and fatigue • What “tired but wired” actually means • How over-functioning impacts your nervous system • The physiological cost of always being “on” • Why your body doesn't feel safe to relax • How to start rebuilding energy and self-trustThis is not about doing less.It's about learning how to feel safe enough to rest.

Pornhub and Onlyfans released their 2025 data showing search results and trends. Pornhub noted that although people are searching for what they always have, like Hentai and Milf, LGBTQ searches exploded. But is this because of genuine interest or curated results? Further, 5 of the top 15 categories in general were Asian, suggesting that the interest in these categories is not merely a fetish so much as it the fulfilling of a desire. This is why hentai is almost always ranked #1 every year, likely because exaggerated feminine traits from sound to looks. Thus, we ask, is there a right and wrong type of sexual appeal? Is there a difference between reserved femininity and explicit feminism? Is it possible that if men are naturally motivated by women to produce and provide, and if that is taken away, society noticeably begins to deteriorate. In fact, first world societies with less openly explicit material tend to be more modest and advanced, whereas the opposites true when women openly expose themselves. Shame is a powerful motivator and an indicator of self-awareness and moral decency. Men and women have been trying to see each other make forever, and prostitution is one of the oldest practices for workers and clients; though typically a last resort and not something to be proud of like Onlyfans. So, is it possible that pornography can be done artistically and morally?*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

You have been told to soften, to slow down, to receive, to surrender, and you have tried every version of it without anything actually changing the way you feel inside your own body. The reason it has not worked is that you do not have a femininity problem, you have a nervous system problem, and until you address what is happening underneath, no aesthetic or practice or feminine energy trend is going to reach the part of you that is still bracing for impact. In this episode, I am walking you through what feminine energy actually is, what your nervous system is doing when you cannot soften or receive, what damaged it in the first place, the patterns and identity it built inside you to keep you safe, and the spiritual foundation underneath all of this that the culture cannot give you. The softness you have been chasing is not missing from you, she is buried underneath years of survival, and this episode is the work of helping you find her again.

In this episode of the Covenant Eyes Podcast, a powerful challenge is laid out: what if the real crisis facing men today isn't just behavior—but identity? Theo McMonagle is joined by John Heinen and Devin Schadt of The Catholic Gentleman to unpack the deeper roots of masculinity, shame, and purpose in a culture that has lost its way.Together, they explore how the breakdown of authentic masculinity has led to isolation, confusion, and destructive habits—and why reclaiming identity as sons, husbands, and fathers is essential for healing. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, and years of ministry, John and Devin point to a countercultural truth: real strength is found not in control or dominance, but in sacrifice, responsibility, and self-giving love.This conversation dives into the role of shame, the importance of brotherhood, and the necessity of spiritual discipline in forming men who can lead with courage and integrity. They also address cultural extremes—from passivity to domination—and offer a grounded, faith-filled vision of masculinity rooted in relationship, purpose, and truth.Whether you're navigating your own struggles, leading a family, or seeking clarity on what it means to be a man in today's world, this episode offers both conviction and hope: transformation begins when you embrace your identity and allow God to work through your life.Episode Topics Discussed• The crisis of masculinity and loss of identity• Why shame keeps men stuck and isolated• The difference between passivity and domination• Reclaiming masculinity through responsibility and virtue• The role of brotherhood and accountability• Why prayer and discipline are essential for growth• Cultural confusion around relationships and marriage• The impact of fatherlessness on young men• Learning to embrace sacrifice, not avoid it• How authentic masculinity is rooted in self-giving loveResources MentionedThe Catholic Gentleman Fathers of Saint Joseph The Meaning and Mystery of Man by Devin Schadt Timestamps06:26 – The Root of Lust & Disordered Desire11:36 – How Shame Impacts Men's Lives17:50 – Embracing Littleness & True Strength18:46 – Forming Men Who Take Responsibility21:39 – Brotherhood, Prayer & Spiritual Growth24:55 – Discipline, Habits & Self-Mastery29:53 – Cultural Confusion Around Masculinity33:36 – Marriage, Fear & Misconceptions34:43 – The Power of Relationships & Purpose38:54 – Love, Sacrifice & the Meaning of the Cross44:55 – How Division Distorts Masculinity and Femininity                                                    47:13 – Marriage as a Mirror: Identity, Growth, and Self-Awareness                                51:29 – Fatherhood: What Sons and Daughters Need59:31 – Final Encouragement & Living with PurposeSend us your feedback!Try Covenant Eyes for FREE today!Use Promo Code: FreePodcast © 2026 Covenant Eyes, All Rights Reserved

We live in a challenging time, especially for women. Femininity isn't honored nor promoted in our culture as it should be. As believers who value God's creation, we have an obligation to display, encourage, and honor femininity, and it begins right here, in the church. Pastor Tim, Rebecca and Ian will all share their hearts in this message.

The obsession with thinness didn't just appear out of nowhere-and it's not just about beauty, body image, or "health."In this episode, I'm unpacking the deeper history of diet culture, female body standards, and the social conditioning that taught women to shrink themselves-physically, emotionally, and culturally. From historical ideals of discipline and restraint to the racial roots of the modern thin ideal, we're digging into how thinness became tied to morality, self-control, and worth.This is a conversation about appetite, power, control, and the quiet rules women have been taught to follow without ever questioning them.So the real question is... when did thinness stop being about beauty-and start being about obedience?Are.

In this deeply honest and theologically rich episode, Heather Creekmore welcomes Jen Oshman—author, missionary, and mom of four daughters—to tackle a question many women silently struggle with: Is it good that I was born a woman? Together, they candidly explore how issues of body image, shame, and the cultural pressures of womanhood can lead to deep-seated doubts and frustration. Drawing from global and biblical perspectives, Jen Oshman shares insights gathered from years of cross-cultural ministry and studying God’s word. She addresses the vulnerabilities women face, both physically and socially, and how Western and global cultures shape our understanding of femininity. Jen Oshman unpacks what the Bible says about being female, highlighting the unique and powerful stories of women in Scripture that often get overlooked, and discusses why God’s design for women is not only intentional but also very good. Key Topics Covered Why the question, “Is it good that I was born a woman?” is more common than we realize The impact of shame, fear, and the lived realities of being female in our culture How body image struggles can be rooted in deeper frustrations about being a woman A biblical look at femininity—separating culture’s checklist from God’s truth The meaning of “helper” (Ezer) in Genesis and its empowering implications Why diversity among women in Scripture matters—and what we can learn from their stories Studying tough Old Testament laws (like menstruation) in context and seeing God’s heart of care for women Practical encouragement for women who wrestle with their purpose and God’s plan for their gender How to dig deeper into biblical womanhood with Jen’s new Lifeway Bible study, “Very Good” Connect with Jen here: https://www.jenoshman.com Grab a copy of Jen's new Bible study: "Very Good" on Amazon here.** Amazon affiliate link.
