Have you ever been angry at God and didn't know if that was allowed? Have you sat in church smiling while internally asking why He felt so far away? Have you prayed the same prayer for years and still heard nothing — and quietly started to wonder if any of it was even working?This is Episode 4 of our mini-series — Things Christian Women Don't Say Out Loud — and we saved this one for last on purpose. Because this one is the deepest. And the most personal.In this episode, Tayler, Alora, and Mary go to the places most Christian podcasts won't. The doubt. The unanswered prayers. The seasons where God went completely silent and they didn't know what to do with that. The bitterness of watching someone else receive the miracle you prayed for. The anger they were afraid to admit even to themselves. This is the faith episode. And it is the most honest one yet.In this episode we talk about:Doubt as a doorway — not a dead endWhat to do when God feels completely silentPraying for your husband's safety every deployment and still living in fear every single dayThe prayers that felt unanswered and what that did to our faithBeing angry at God — and whether that's allowed (spoiler: it is)What faith actually looks like inside a military life full of uncertaintyHow to worship God through genuine bitternessComing out of the hardest season still standing — and still believingScripture anchor: Habakkuk 3:17-18 — "Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines... yet I will rejoice in the Lord."Whether you are a lifelong woman of faith or you are somewhere in the middle of the hardest wrestling match of your spiritual life — you are safe here.Bring your questions. Bring your doubt. Bring the things you have never said out loud. Because we believe that is exactly where the real thriving begins.

This is the one we saved for last. After two raw, honest, grace-filled episodes on the parts of motherhood nobody talks about — we brought the whole Women Soaring team together for this final motherhood episode. Tayler, Alora, Mary, and Clarissa. All four of us. All in. Because we believed the most honest conversation deserved the most voices around the table.In this final episode of the motherhood portion of our mini-series Things Christian Women Don't Say Out Loud, we go straight into the question nobody wants to answer out loud: Have you ever looked at your children and felt like you had absolutely nothing left to give?And we answer it. Honestly. Without the performance. Without the pretending. Just four moms who have been in the thick of it — three kids in diapers, 5pm with nothing eaten, the kind of tired that sleep doesn't fix — talking about what actually got them through.In this episode we talk about:What it actually feels like to have nothing left — and what to do in that momentThree kids in diapers, non-stop days, and the survival mode nobody prepares you forWhy "God will never give you more than you can handle" is NOT in the Bible — and what He actually does insteadElisabeth Elliott's "do the next thing" — the only strategy that works when the whole day feels impossibleThe sanctifying power of being given more than you can handleHow to rely on God's strength when your own is completely goneThe mom job description nobody signed up for — but billions of women are living every single dayFinding your community even when it doesn't look like what you expectedWhat happens when you show up anyway — and God meets you thereThe closing prayer over every mom listening who is running on empty right nowScripture anchors:Lamentations 3:22-23 — "His mercies are new every morning."2 Corinthians 12:9 — "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."This episode ends with a prayer over you. Over the mom who is barely holding on. Over the mom who hasn't eaten since breakfast. Over the mom who just needs someone to see her today. We see you. God sees you. And His mercies are new tomorrow.

What happens when the life that looks successful on paper no longer feels fulfilling on the inside? In this episode of Real Women's Work, Jen sits down with business and mindset coach Lesa Frye for an honest conversation about ambition, burnout, identity, purpose, and redefining success as women move through different seasons of life. Before becoming a coach, Lesa spent decades building a highly successful real estate career — selling 41 homes in her first full-time year and becoming a top producer in a competitive industry. But behind the success was exhaustion, pressure, and the realization that achievement alone wasn't enough. Together, Jen and Lesa explore: the difference between success and fulfillment hustle culture and burnout mindset and self-worth why boundaries matter the pressure women feel to be everything for everyone what it means to build a "peaceful business" how to stop operating from survival mode and why it's never too late to create a life that actually feels aligned Lesa also shares the deeply personal moments that pushed her toward coaching, the concept of the "Inner CEO," and why she believes women can have successful businesses and lives they love. This conversation is thoughtful, grounding, and full of reminders for anyone who has ever looked successful externally while quietly feeling overwhelmed inside. In This Episode Why success and fulfillment are not always the same thing The emotional reality of hitting a ceiling in corporate life Transitioning from corporate America into real estate Selling 41 homes in one year — and the cost of that success The unseen work behind real estate Why mindset drives everything The fear many women feel around wanting "more" Burnout, overwhelm, and hustle culture Creating balance and boundaries without guilt What Lesa means by "The And Life" The power of self-worth and self-forgiveness Building a business that feels peaceful instead of chaotic Family, purpose, legacy, and redefining success later in life Memorable Quotes "You cannot beat yourself up into success." "We can have highly successful businesses and lives that we're obsessed with." "It's not about the stuff. It's about the relationships." "Take the mask off." "What if it does work?"

Have you ever looked in the mirror and not recognized the person staring back at you? If you've been in a relationship with a covert narcissist, chances are you know exactly what that feels like. In this CNG Community Chat, I sit down with three women who each experienced the slow, painful erosion of identity that comes with covert narcissistic abuse. We talk about the moment they realized they had been making themselves smaller, the specific turning points that opened their eyes, and what the journey back to themselves has actually looked like. From walking on eggshells and reactive abuse, to physical symptoms like panic attacks, chronic pain, and autoimmune flares — these women share the full picture of what narcissistic abuse really does to a person. More importantly, they share what life looks like on the other side. Whether you are still in the relationship, just finding your way out, or deep in your recovery journey, this conversation will remind you that you are not crazy, you are not too sensitive, and you were never the problem. Topics covered in this episode: How covert narcissistic relationships slowly erase your identity The physical toll of narcissistic abuse on your nervous system and body Recognizing reactive abuse and the moment of clarity that changes everything People pleasing, boundaries, and the pushback you get when you finally set them What taking up space looks like in real life after narcissistic abuse Advice for anyone who is afraid to stop shrinking themselves The content on this podcast reflects the personal experiences and opinions of the host and guests and is intended for informational and educational purposes only.

What happens when something that once felt impossible suddenly feels… normal? In this short solo episode of Real Women's Work, Jen shares a deeply personal experience attending a sold-out Professional Women's Hockey League game with her daughter — and the unexpected moment that stopped her cold: sitting in traffic outside the arena realizing all those people were there to watch women play hockey. For girls who grew up as athletes in the 90s, hearing "nobody watches women's sports" was constant background noise. This episode reflects on what it means to witness real cultural change in real time — packed arenas, young girls wearing jerseys, fans debating player stats, and women athletes finally being treated as simply… athletes. It's about visibility. Progress. Generational change. And the powerful things that happen when girls grow up seeing what's possible. Topics include: Growing up as a female athlete in the 90s The emotional impact of attending a sold-out PWHL game Why visibility changes ambition The connection between sports, culture, and possibility What daughters inherit from the women who came before them If you've ever wondered whether cultural progress is real — this episode is a reminder that sometimes you can feel it happening around you.

My special guest this week is Mrs. C. Gwendolyn Landolt, co-founder, past President and current Vice-President of REAL Women of Canada. We discuss the founding of REAL Women in 1983, their efforts to defend the innocent pre-born from abortion and all Canadians from the destructive policies and philosophy of the radical left-wing feminists and secular socialists who were undermining the foundations of marriage, family and civil society. We touch on the Charter, on the legalization of drugs and the struggle to defend Christian values in Canada.Learn more about Gwen Landolt and the work of REAL Women at: https://realwomenofcanada.caIt's a great organization to join and support!

We talk all day long. At work. At home. With friends, colleagues, strangers. But how often are we actually communicating? In this episode, I sit down with communication consultant Dee Dee Fisher to explore a powerful (and slightly uncomfortable) idea: many of our conversations aren't actually exchanging information at all. We're reacting. We're making assumptions. We're talking—but not connecting. Dee Dee shares the moment she first recognized this pattern as a teenager working in her family's gas station—and how that early insight turned into the work she does today helping individuals and organizations communicate more clearly, effectively, and with far less conflict. We talk about what gets in the way of real communication, how to "function past the reaction" in difficult moments, and why changing just one thing in how you show up can completely shift the outcome of a conversation. This is a conversation about being more intentional with your words, your reactions, and your assumptions—and what becomes possible when you are. In this episode, we cover: Why many conversations don't actually go anywhere The difference between reacting and communicating How to "function past the reaction" in difficult conversations A simple framework (who, what, when, where, why, how) to improve clarity The role of assumptions—and how they derail communication Why you don't have to change the other person to change the conversation A powerful story about stopping bullying by shifting internal response How better communication impacts work, relationships, and self-talk A simple takeaway to try: The next time you feel yourself reacting in a conversation, pause and ask: "What is actually trying to be communicated here?" That one question can change everything.

Walk into any beauty aisle—or scroll through your feed for five minutes—and it's clear the industry is obsessed with what's new. New formulas, new trends, new “rules.” But for many women, especially those who've been using makeup for decades, the question isn't what's new—it's what actually works. And increasingly, the answer isn't coming from the brands shouting the loudest. It's coming from those that are listening more closely—and building with real life, not aspiration, in mind. That shift is backed by data: according to consumer research by MG2, more than half of beauty consumers say they want to be both educated and inspired when they shop, not just sold to.So what does it take to build a beauty brand that doesn't just chase trends, but earns a place in women's everyday routines?That's the question at the heart of the latest episode of Retail Refined. In this episode, host Melissa Gonzalez sits down with Laura Geller, Founder of Laura Geller Beauty, to unpack how decades of hands-on experience with everyday consumers shaped a brand rooted in education, problem-solving, and purpose. From her early days backstage on Broadway to becoming a pioneer on QVC, Geller shares how staying close to the customer—not chasing trends—has driven lasting success.What you'll learn…How to better identify and serve your true customer—and why trying to appeal to everyone can hold brands back.How consistent, education-led storytelling builds trust across channels.How to develop products that solve real consumer needs, not just follow trends.Laura Geller is a veteran makeup artist and founder of Laura Geller Beauty, known for building a brand centered on making beauty accessible, uncomplicated, and designed for real women. She began her career working in Broadway, film, and television before launching her Upper East Side studio and becoming a pioneering force on QVC, where her line remains one of the longest-standing beauty brands. Recognized for innovation and industry leadership—including her iconic primer category and Forbes 50 Over 50 honor—she continues to shape the beauty space through customer-driven product development and education-led selling.

What if talking about death actually helped us live better? In this episode of Real Women's Work, Jen Keefe sits down with Laura Cleminson, a death doula and founder of the Pre-Dead Social Club, where people gather to talk openly about mortality, dying, and what matters most in life. Laura's work began after walking alongside her mother through the dying process. That experience opened her eyes to something many of us never learn: we often face death without the language, awareness, or confidence to navigate it. Instead of avoiding these conversations, Laura helps people explore them together—because, as she says in this episode: "Every conversation about dying is really a conversation about living." In this thoughtful and surprisingly hopeful conversation, Jen and Laura explore how becoming more aware of mortality can bring clarity, connection, and compassion into our everyday lives. In This Episode Why Laura believes there is no expert on death How her mother's diagnosis changed the course of her life What a death doula actually does The story behind the Pre-Dead Social Club Why talking about dying helps people understand how they want to live The importance of asking medical providers "What happens if I do nothing?" How community conversations about mortality are helping people support loved ones through end-of-life experiences A Few Powerful Ideas From This Conversation "Every conversation about dying is really a conversation about living." "There is no expert on death." "If we talk about dying before we need to, we show up differently when it matters." About Laura Cleminson Laura Cleminson is an end-of-life doula and the founder of the Pre-Dead Social Club, a growing community where people gather to have open conversations about mortality, dying, and living with greater awareness. Through community events, conversations, and education, Laura helps people develop what she calls death awareness—the ability to approach mortality with curiosity, clarity, and compassion.

This episode was recorded live at The Reecet, a three-day women's retreat hosted by Gabby in Los Angeles.Thirty women gathered for an intimate, personalized health experience built around one goal: cutting through noise and focusing on what truly matters for women's biology, strength, and long-term resilience.Each guest completed pre-event health testing and participated in expert-led sessions across hormones, genetics, root-cause medicine, strength training, recovery, and confidence-building. The weekend included:Hormone education with Dr. Sarah HillDNA personalization with Kashif KhanRoot-cause testing and 1:1 coaching with Dr. Ashley BeckmanConfidence training through Jiu Jitsu with Cesalina GracieFoundational health frameworks (“Basecamp”) with Juliet StarrettRecovery sessions with Dr. Jason (Therabody)HIGHX training, pool work, breathwork, fire and ice, and live discussionThis particular episode captures a live Q&A session — where the women of The Reecet asked Gabby direct, unscripted questions.Topics explored in this conversation include:How to avoid overwhelm in the pursuit of healthWhy “doing less” can sometimes produce better outcomesThe difference between discipline and rigidityHow to stay consistent during busy seasonsTraining through injuries and life transitionsAgency, intuition, and listening to your internal voiceMental resilience and friction as a growth toolNavigating self-doubt while building strengthThe tension between performance and presenceHow to build scaffolding around your life instead of chasing quick fixesGabby also shares her biggest takeaways from hosting this first all-women retreat:Do Less.Adding more isn't always the solution. Many women are over-supplemented, over-scheduled, and overstimulated. Removing friction — not stacking more protocols — often creates more progress.Conquer the Basics.Sleep. Strength training. Protein. Recovery. Movement.Before advanced interventions, master your foundation.Listen to Yourself.Confidence is built through self-trust. Learning to quiet outside noise — especially social media — and reconnect with your own internal signal is a lifelong skill.This episode is less about theory and more about application — what it actually looks like to build a sustainable, grounded practice as a woman balancing work, family, health, and ambition.To apply for future Reecet experiences, visit:thereecet.comEpisode sponsors:Now, it's easier than ever to try Manukora Honey.

National icons aren't born – they're engineered. But how were historical figures such as Joan of Arc and Isabella of Castile transformed into political symbols, their real lives lost beneath centuries of myth-making? In this episode of the HistoryExtra podcast, Janina Ramirez tells Danny Bird about some of the women – from Byzantine empresses to religious fanatics and revolutionary martyrs – that have been elevated to such pedestals, and how these legends are created, re-created and repurposed for nationalist mythologies.

In this episode, Taylor Carr talks about how blanket statements can really harm people, and how each unique woman has her own way of getting results - and when we tap into our unique design and processes, we get the best results in love and in life!

We have so much information about health, our bodies, and what will make us feel better, coming at us from every direction. If you're ready to finally hear the truth, this episode is for you. Today, host Heather Creekmore welcomes coaching client Tephanie, and Compared to Who? team member, Christian body image coach, Tara, for a moving conversation about finding real freedom from body image struggles. This episode dives into what it’s really like to join the 40-day Body Image Journey, take the next step into group coaching, and experience transformative, Christ-centered growth alongside women in all stages of life. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Tephanie’s Story: Tephanie courageously shares how body image issues impacted her life for years—from feeling like the “heavier friend” as a child, to trying diets after marriage, and always believing thinness was the key to worth and happiness. The Power of Community: Listen as Tephanie describes overcoming her fears about group coaching, opening up in a safe space, and discovering that she wasn’t alone in her struggles. What Coaching Looks Like: Coach Tara explains how every woman shows up nervous, but together they create a sacred, honest place where transformation happens. Lasting Change: Tephanie reflects on how the journey shifted her mindset—from constant comparison and shame, to living with gratitude and serving as a positive role model for her family. Behind the Scenes: You’ll also get a peek into the structure of the coaching programs (the 40-day journey, Body Image Freedom Framework, Attunement Reset), how each builds on the last, and the real “magic” that’s only possible through Christ-centered community. Key Takeaways: There is no “magic formula” for body image freedom—true peace comes from seeing yourself as God sees you. You’re not alone; women of every age and stage struggle with body image, but healing happens in safe, supportive community. Change is possible, even if you’ve felt stuck for years—the journey may be ongoing, but God’s freedom is real and available for you, too.

Welcome to a powerful and heartfelt episode of the Compared to Who? podcast, hosted by Heather Creekmore. In this episode, Heather chats with three real women—Patricia, Diane, and Jess—who have courageously walked through coaching and programs to improve their body image and relationship with food. If you’re tired of feeling stuck in food obsession, diet culture, or shame around your body, this episode is for you! Episode Highlights: The guests share honestly about their lifelong battles with body image, food restriction, calorie counting, and the underlying fears and shame that kept them trapped for years. Patricia Reveals how she lived in “body image bondage” for nearly two decades, mistaking strict dieting for freedom until she discovered the faith-based approach of Compared to Who? and began her journey to genuine freedom. Diane At age 71, reflects on six decades of food obsessions and restricting behaviors, and how finally integrating her faith with her eating and body image struggles began her transformation. Jess Shares how she didn’t realize she even had body image issues until after having kids; she discusses the shame of living in a bigger body, the mental exhaustion of chasing diets, and how true freedom finally came through the support and tools offered in the coaching group. The women and Heather explore the themes of fear, idolatry, objectification, and the dynamic between self-worth and body size. Hear practical, inspiring stories about breaking the cycle of daily weigh-ins, obsessive thoughts, and moralizing food choices. Each guest describes how participation in the 40 Day Body Image Journey, the Body Image Freedom Framework, and intuitive eating coaching offered loving accountability, lasting mindset shifts, and deepened connection to God’s truth about their identity. The episode closes with encouragement for anyone who feels stuck, scared to start, or believes they’re “too old” or “too late” for change. Key Takeaways: Lasting body image freedom isn’t about reaching your “ideal weight”—it’s about shifting your perspective, breaking fear-driven cycles, and finding your worth in God, not a number on the scale. Healing comes in community: support, vulnerability, and shared struggle are powerful in bringing freedom from shame and isolation. No matter your age or how long you’ve struggled, there is hope and there is help.

Send us a textThis episode is a masterclass in doing the work even when you feel like absolute garbage. Kathy Charles didn't come into my program feeling motivated, hopeful, or even remotely excited about fitness. She came in depressed, deep in menopause, dealing with grief, vertigo, an injured knee, and the kind of emotional exhaustion that makes brushing your hair feel optional.And yet… she showed up.Kathy didn't wake up one day magically inspired. She started when she was grumpy, resistant, and fully prepared to hate me during workouts. She modified everything. She half-assed it when that was all she had. She swore at the screen. And she kept going anyway.In this conversation, Kathy shares how therapy helped clear what she calls the “traffic jam” in her brain so she could start taking care of herself again, why mental health support wasn't optional for her progress, and how structure, not motivation, helped her rebuild trust with herself.She lost 50 pounds and 44 inches, yes. But more importantly, she got her energy, confidence, and sense of badassness back. She zip-lines. She shovels snow. She plans bike trips. She lives in a body she trusts again.This episode is proof that you don't need to feel good to start. You just need to start.What's Inside:You don't need motivation. You need momentum. Kathy started when she felt awful and let consistency do the heavy lifting.Mental health and physical health are not separate. Therapy cleared the path so habits could stick.Modifying is not failing. It is how progress actually happens, especially when your body has limits.Habits don't disappear when life gets hard. They are what carry you through it.Kathy's story is such a powerful reminder that progress doesn't come from perfection. It comes from showing up as you are, even when you're cranky, tired, grieving, or over it. You don't need to do it all. You just need to keep doing something.If this episode hit home for you, DM me on Instagram and tell me what your version of a “grumpy workout” looks like right now. I want to hear it.Mentioned in This Episode:Join the 28 Day Transformation WaitlistOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

Joining Dearbhail to discuss the modern meaning and relevance of Nollaig na mBan (“women's Christmas”) are activist and founder of Topical Popical, Andrea Horan; interfaith minister, singer and theologian, Rev Dr Noirin Ni Riain; and novelist and author of ‘This is How You Remember It', Catherine Prasifska.

Start your new year with hope that goes beyond new diets, fitness programs, and the relentless pursuit of body perfection. In this heartfelt episode, host Heather Creekmore sits down with her former client, Lesley, to share her transformative journey from food and body image bondage to genuine spiritual and emotional freedom. Lesley spent years as a health and wellness coach, tracking every calorie, restricting food, and chasing a number on the scale—all while struggling with her own body image issues. She candidly shares how these patterns began in grade school, persisted into adulthood, and continued even as she helped others pursue their health goals. Despite her expertise, she found herself trapped by obsession and shame surrounding food, weight, and self-worth. Through Heather Creekmore's Body Image Freedom Framework, Lesley began to untangle the deep connection between identity and body image. Her story is honest about the challenges—grief, fear, letting go of control, and even stepping away from her coaching business—but it's also filled with hope and victory. Lesley discovered that true freedom came not from changing her body, but from changing her beliefs, surrendering her idol of body image, and learning to trust God’s gentle guidance through all the lows and highs. In this episode, you'll hear: How body image struggles often start early and shape identity The dangers of moralizing food, restriction, and attachment to the scale The life-changing power of shifting focus from external rules to internal cues and grace The role of faith and community in healing, surrender, and practical recovery How Lesley found peace, joy, and presence in her body—without chasing weight loss goals If you’re tired of repeating the same health resolutions and want lasting change, this episode is an inspiring invitation to start your body image freedom journey.

In this episode of Sacred Sex for Real Women, I'm sharing something deeply personal, and something many women quietly navigate alone.This is part one of my HPV and cervical dysplasia journey, including abnormal PAP tests, CIN 2 diagnoses, colposcopies, and the moment I chose to step out of fear-based decision-making and into a more embodied, holistic approach to healing.Inside this episode, I share:How long this journey has been unfolding and why I'm sharing it nowNavigating HPV, cervical dysplasia, and medical recommendations without shame or panicThe moment I walked out of a scheduled LEEP procedure, and whyThe protocols, practices, and lifestyle shifts I'm currently using to support my bodyHow embodiment, nervous system regulation, and sacred sexuality have become part of my healing processThis episode is not medical advice, it's my lived experience, shared for women who want to feel informed, empowered, and sovereign in their health choices.If you're navigating HPV, cervical dysplasia, or feeling overwhelmed by medical pressure, this conversation is an invitation to pause, listen to your body, and choose from grounded self-trust rather than fear.This is part one of my story. Part two will come when my body completes this chapter.

So many women believe they've “lost” their desire… but most of the time, it hasn't disappeared at all.In this episode of Sacred Sex for Real Women, we're breaking down the difference between spontaneous desire and responsive desire — and why this one shift in understanding can bring instant relief, more confidence, and a clear path forward (without forcing yourself, faking it, or waiting around for desire to magically strike).You'll hear why long-term love, busy life seasons, stress, and emotional disconnection can make desire feel distant — and how to start working with your body again so that flicker can build into a turned-on, satisfied sex life.In this episode, you'll learn:The key difference between spontaneous vs. responsive desire (and why most women are responsive)Why “Are you in the mood?” often shuts desire down — and what to ask insteadThe role of nervous system safety, emotional connection, and subconscious conditioning in libidoPractical ways to build anticipation, set the stage, and support your desire to blossom3 tangible tools to try: anticipation + stage-setting + erotic blueprints + yoni breathingIf you're realizing there's more underneath the surface — stress, safety patterns, old conditioning, or relationship dynamics — I'd love to support you.

Though well-known across Europe by name, the real lives of women such as Joan of Arc and Jadwiga of Poland have been buried under banners of nationalistic agendas that have twisted their stories through the ages. Oxford historian Janina Ramirez joins Sir Tony Robinson to illuminate the truth of these incredible women, and disentangle their real stories from the myths imposed on them through time. From Lady Godiva's real name, Godgifu, and how her eroticised image has overshadowed her real survival as a landowning woman in tumultuous times, to Joan of Arc's journey to becoming a warrior in a war-torn and plague-ravaged land, to Catherine of Siena's vivid visions and Jadwiga's reign as monarch of Poland, Professor Ramirez sheds light on truths long enshrouded by myths.

There is so much about the Salem With Trials that I had wrong. The more I dug in, the more I saw that all who were involved were real actual humans. They had famlies and jobs and homes and neighbors. Yet, so often when I thought of the Salem Witch Trials it was with an almost dark entertainment fascination- as though the people involved were not human at all. Rather, they were some kind of mutant variation stupid enough to let this happen around them. The more I learned, the more that time period became alive to me. I started to know the people by name. Know some of their background. Understand some of the relationships and circumstances. I learned the broader picture that included the European witch panic. Before I knew it, there was a reverence and deep sadness that came over me every time I thougth of the Salem Witch Trials. As I got to better know the people who were invovled I started to feel upset when people made jokes about them or when misunderstandings were perpetuated.  This is what made me want to do this series. I wanted experts to not only help me learn more, but help anyone else who wanted to learn, too.  Because now I know that history really does repeat itself and that if we removed "Salem Witch Trials" from this episode, listeners might wonder which event --historical or current-- we were actually talking about. This episode is about a set of circumstances several hundred years ago whose characteristics are so universal they can be applied to many, many situations between then and now. It is about real women, history, its role in our lives, and how it even changes with time! Rachel Christ-Doane is incredible. She is articulate, insightful, patient, knowlegeable, and oh so passionate about sharing her knowledge about the Salem Witch Trials. Her role as the Director of Education at the Salem Witch Museum gives her a breadth of experience that is valuable to all of us.  Listen in. Share the episode. Tell your friends. This is another awesome woman doing Real Women's Work!  

In this special episode, I'm joined by several amazing women from the Inspire Fitness community who are sharing their real experiences with strength training, nutrition, and mindset.They talk about what finally clicked for them, how lifting has transformed their confidence and bodies, and the lessons they wish they'd known when they first started. From navigating busy schedules to finding motivation again, this honest and inspiring panel is proof that it's never too late to get strong, feel better, and redefine what's possible in your 40s, 50s, and beyond.If you've ever doubted whether you can do this - this episode will change your mind.

Many high-achieving, sensitive women find themselves trapped in cycles of self-doubt, insecurity, and relentless self-criticism—uncertain why, despite so much effort and insight, they can't seem to break free. Emma Lyons reveals that the real saboteur isn't actually your own voice, but an inner narcissist—a toxic, controlling dialogue internalized from years of shame and outside judgment. This inner critic hijacks your confidence, makes you overthink, and convinces you that shrinking yourself is the safest option, all while masquerading as your genuine self. Recognizing that this thought pattern isn't actually you, but a parasitic voice you've absorbed, is a turning point. Emma calls out the shame-based systems and conditioning that fuel perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the invisible wounds women carry, often believing they must bear them alone. She empowers women to expose these scripts, break the trance of internalized shame, and reclaim confidence, calm, and self-worth from the inside out. If you're ready to stop playing small and eradicate self-sabotage at the root, it's time to break up with your inner narcissist. Claim Emma's free guide, 5 Signs You Need to Break Up with Your Inner Narcissist, and get the clarity and tools you need to silence the critic that never belonged to you.

Jennifer Sey, CEO of XX-XY Athletics has proclaimed October 10th (X X) as Real Women's Day.We at Love & Life are here for it!Jennifer encourages us to speak out—to be bold in our support and protection of women and girls.I have purchased several T-shirts from XX-XY Athletics. The statements on the shirts are logical and reasonable, yet at this chaotic time, they are often perceived as controversial by many people. I wear them to invite others to think. I want them to consider their positions. And, I want to advocate for women and girls. Because when men pretend to be women, they steal women's positions, championships, and scholarships.In effect, they erase women. In today's episode, our intern, Evelyn, joins me to share her thoughts, as a young Gen Z woman, on these concerns!We invite you to join us as we support Jennifer‘s campaign. Speak up! Stand up! And, maybe even wear a T-shirt, proclaiming your beliefs about sex, reality, and the importance of protecting women and girls!Evelyn also wrote a piece for us in honor of 10/10 Real Women's Day.

Community Response to The "Strong Friend" Series In this special community-focused episode of The Friendship Tour, we're closing out our Strong Friend Series by hearing directly from real women in The Friendship Tour's Facebook group.

Taking care of ourselves doesn't always mean overhauling everything; it can start with one small choice to finally put our health first. That's exactly what Tracy Slavik did after years of struggling with PCOS, weight, and hormonal ups and downs. She opened up about how she lost 100 pounds, regained her energy, and started trusting her body again with my Keto Green 16 program. Her story is such a reminder that real change is possible, even when it feels out of reach.   You'll also hear from Angela Crump, who shares how she found her way back to joy after heartbreaking losses. Grief shook her world, but choosing self-care became her way of healing. She talks honestly about what it looked like to put her health back on the list and how those choices gave her life a new kind of vibrancy.   Both Tracy and Angela show us that when we take care of ourselves, everything else in life begins to shift too. This episode is full of real-life lessons, little mindset shifts, and encouragement that will meet you right where you are. And if you're craving more support, I'd love for you to join me for my Mastering Your Hormones Masterclass at dranna.com/hormones.
