This week's interview with the cofounders of SheWrites.com, Kamy Wicoff and Deborah Siegel-Acevedo, is especially touching for Brooke because these two women are where it all started. This week's interview is about why community matters as told through the histories and sensibilities of two community champions who started something that lit the literary world on fire in 2009. SheWrites back then was a little bit like Substack is today, but with small breakout groups and a lot of meet-ups happening in the real world. The feminist sensibility of SheWrites was what drew Brooke to the platform, and to Kamy and Deborah in those early days when she was a Senior and then Executive Editor at Seal Press—and this origin story is both a walk down memory lane and an inspiring episode on the enduring power of community. Kamy Wicoff is a writer, former publisher, and psychotherapist with a degree in social work. Kamy holds an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Columbia and is the author of several books, including the novel Wishful Thinking and the nonfiction book I Do But I Don't: Why the Way We Marry Matters, and has contributed to multiple anthologies, most recently Feminists Reclaim Mentorship: An Anthology. Kamy is the cofounder of She Writes Press. She serves as a trustee on the board of the Brooklyn Public Library and lives with her husband and their four sons in Brooklyn. Deborah Siegel-Acevedo, PhD is a Visiting Scholar in Gender & Sexuality Studies at Northwestern University and the author of Sisterhood, Interrupted and co-editor of the literary anthology Only Child. She is a regular on Chicago's “live lit” storytelling stages. Deborah's essay “My Husband, the Reluctant Barista” just appeared this past October in the Modern Love column at The New York Times. Her op-eds and essays on gender, motherhood, family, feminism, and writing have appeared in Slate, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, and elsewhere. She's a TEDx speaker, a longtime coach and champion of writers, and her coaching company, Girl Meets Voice, Inc., has supported hundreds of established and emerging writers. Together, they cofounded SheWrites.com in 2009. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When The Mama's Den podcast first began, two of our 9 children hadn't even been born yet. Fast-forward to today, and those two babies are now 4 years old, three of them are 7, three are 9, and one is 16 — and the emotional weight of that growth is hitting us in real time.This week, we open up about what it feels like to watch our children grow up right before our eyes. From the excitement (and fear) of driver's licenses to overnight trips and realizing that some of our kids are no longer “little,” we talk honestly about the joy, nerves, pride, and anxiety that come with each new milestone.We reflect on how motherhood evolves as our kids become more independent — and how their growth forces us to confront our own: learning to let go, redefining our roles, and holding space for nostalgia while celebrating who our children are becoming. This conversation is for every parent navigating the bittersweet reality of raising kids who don't stay kids forever.Whether your child is a toddler, a tween, or on the brink of adulthood, this episode will make you feel seen — and remind you that you're not alone in this season.Follow The Mama's Den on Instagram at www.instagram.com/themamasdenpodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Do you struggle with adversity?  Do you feel like you are out of control over your circumstances, and the events that happen in your life?  If so, you are not alone. The age of social media often causes us to play the comparison game which forces us into a dark place where we start to just pretend to be someone we are not in order to look better to the outside world.   Listen to the podcast HERE   In this episode I talk with Brandon Farbstein who at the age of two was diagnosed with a rare form of dwarfism.  For much of his childhood he felt out of place and lost until he found his place on a Tedx stage. He now hope to inspire people to see the world through a different lens.  He believes that adversity and the difficult things that happen in our life can bring us to amazing new things if we switch our mentality away from the negativity. Questions I asked: How did you rise above your adversity? What steps can you take today to move forward. How do you focus on what you can do rather than what you can't do. How do you surround yourself with the right people?   Topics Discussed: How to overcome adversity. How to move forward. Finding the good in everything. Surrounding yourself with people who lift you up. Quotes from the show: "You choose your own solution." @BrandonFarbstein @LindaMitchell "Our pain is either a lesson or a blessing in disguise." @BrandonFarbstein @LindaMitchell "We can be what someone is looking for." @BrandonFarbstein @LindaMitchell "The secret to living is giving." @BrandonFarbstein @LindaMitchell "Be deliberate with those who fill your mind. @BrandonFarbstein @LindaMitchell   How you can stay in touch with Brandon: Website Facebook Instagram Get His Book Twitter   How you can stay in touch with Linda: Website Facebook Twitter Instagram Pinterest YouTube SoundCloud   "Proud Sponsors of the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T" Essential Formulas

In this episode, we dive straight into the raw reality of what true masculine initiation actually looks like—far beyond the pop-psychology clichés. Jaguar Heart returns to share an unfiltered account of the heartbreak, trauma, illness, loss, and psychological dismantling that forced him into his next stage of individuation. From splitting from the mother construct to confronting toxic feminine dynamics, Jaguar offers a rare look inside the male awakening that modern culture avoids at all costs. No easy narratives will be found here...this dialogue reveals the deeper psychological currents men must face—and the inner fire required to break free.Time Stamps(00:00) Episode Teaser(00:33) Opening Conversation(04:26) Introducing Jaguar Heart(06:35) Health Struggles and Recovery(11:35) Relationship Dynamics and Coaching(27:31) Mother Wounds and Masculinity(40:37) Societal Narratives and Masculinity(46:44) The Sisterhood's Threat to Women(49:05) Domestic Violence and Double Standards(50:30) The Lack of Elder Men in Modern Society(55:48) The Evolution of Masculinity(01:01:15) The Challenges of Maintaining Relationships(01:03:27) The Importance of Containment in Men(01:18:53) The Role of Elder Men in Guiding Youth(01:30:01) Honoring Masculinity and Inner AuthorityGuest Linkshttps://www.instagram.com/purejaguar/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

Welcome back to The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., where we empower women to step into strength, resilience, and purpose — body, mind, and spirit. Today, we're celebrating one of the most beloved holiday films of all time with someone who lived it from the inside out. Jimmy Hawkins — who played Tommy Bailey, the youngest son of George and Mary Bailey — joins us to share the heart, history, humor, and humanity behind It's a Wonderful Life. Now, nearly 80 years after its release, Jimmy has gathered decades of interviews, rare photos, cast and crew insights, and untold behind-the-scenes stories in his brand-new book, The Heart of It's a Wonderful Life, releasing September 23rd. Jimmy opens up about what Frank Capra poured into the film, how Jimmy Stewart used the emotional scars of World War II to shape his performance, and why the message — one life touches so many others — is more important now than ever. Whether you've watched the film a hundred times or you're seeing it for the first time this season, this conversation will remind you that you matter, your life has meaning, and you make a difference. Key Themes The universal message that every life has value Why viewers in today's world need that reminder more than ever How the film teaches us that ordinary acts have extraordinary impact Jimmy's story about showing the film in Attica Prison Inmates recognizing themselves in George Bailey's journey How the movie inspires personal change in unexpected places Capra refused the studio system so he could make the film his way Why the movie originally failed — and how TV saved it in 1974 The idea that "God had a plan" for when the world would discover the film How his experience in WWII shaped the raw intensity of George Bailey Why Stewart said he could not perform certain scenes twice Capra's sensitive direction and deep understanding of trauma How being part of the cast shaped his purpose The journey behind writing his new book Why the story continues to guide him personally and professionally "One Life Makes a Difference" — The Core Message The film teaches us: You matter. Your life has purpose. You are impacting others in ways you may never know. Questions Asked What has kept the message of "It's a Wonderful Life" so relevant for nearly 80 years? Why does the film resonate so deeply with generation after generation? What inspired your new book, and what did you want readers to experience? How did Frank Capra's independent vision shape the final film? What mattered most to Frank Capra in creating this story? Can you share more about Jimmy Stewart's emotional preparation and depth? How has being part of this film shaped your life? Why do you think the movie failed at release but exploded decades later? Quotes: "The movie never changed — the people changed. They need that message now more than ever." — Jimmy Hawkins "George Bailey didn't think he did anything for anyone. And look what he did." "You were born to do something in this life. Maybe you haven't done it yet — but you will." "Frank Capra didn't believe in the committee way of making movies. He wanted to make his film his way." "God had a plan. The pieces weren't there in 1946 — but they were in 1974." "This movie tells everybody: you're important. Go get your dream." "We don't think we're making a difference. But we are. What you do does matter." — Linda Mitchell Jimmy Hawkins & Book Links Book — The Heart of It's a Wonderful Life by Jimmy Hawkins — available for preorder/release: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1400255104  Book (audiobook / digital) on Google Play Books / Audiobooks — https://play.google.com/store/audiobooks/details/AQAAAEAqmWHZWM  Information & Announcement about the Book Release (2025) — https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250729801695/en/Its-a-Wonderful-Life-Actor-Jimmy-Hawkins-to-Release-His-New-Book  Where to Stream "It's a Wonderful Life" As of now, "It's a Wonderful Life" is available on: Amazon Prime Video — stream or rent the film  Xumo Play, Plex, Hoopla, and other free-with-ads platforms — depending on your region.

Culture tells women over 40 that midlife is a time of decline: hot flashes, lost libido, and fading from relevance. But what if midlife is actually your portal to power, pleasure, and self-ownership? In this episode, we're joined by Natty Frasca, a feminist coach, rebel rouser, and the founder of The Feminine Rebellion, to set fire to the script of people-pleasing and perfection and offer a toolkit for redesigning your one, wild life.Together, Erin and Natty dive into the realities of midlife: ending marriages (or reinventing them), raising kids (and yourself), walking away from “having it all,” and learning to put your actual desires at the very heart of your existence.

What did Ahaz do as king of Israel? Come Bible Study WITH ME through 2 Kings 16 and ask all the questions!

Vandaag het gesprek met Simone Blüm. Simone is oprichter van Stoicisters, een platform dat stoïcijnse wijsheid praktisch maakt voor het dagelijks leven van moderne vrouwen. Ze laat zien hoe je met die eeuwenoude principes rust, kracht en helderheid vindt in de drukte van alledag. En wat het betekent om goed te leven én een goed mens te zijn. Met Stoicisters bouwt ze bovendien aan een community waar vrouwen elkaar ontmoeten, inspireren en aanmoedigen om stoïcijns te leven. Laten we beginnen… Wat ik zoal leerde van Simone: 00:00 intro - 02:05 De afbeeldingen van filosofen uit de klassieke oudheid creëren een masculine beeld van iets dat kosmopolitisch is, filosofie. 05:25 Meer vrouwen bekend maken met het stoïcisme en er ook een vrouwelijk gezicht aan te geven. 07:05 Enkele boeken die een breder perspectief op stoïcisme hebben. 09:30 Ze heeft veel steun aan de deugden uit het stoïcisme, zelfbeheersing, rechtvaardigheid, moed, wijsheid en broederschap (sisterhood). 11:20 Filosofie was vroeger veel meer verbonden met het dagelijks leven, om je te helpen een goed leven te leiden. 12:55 Een praktische vertaling van de filosofie en stoïcisme, zodat meer mensen er mee bekend worden. 13:50 Een netwerk van vrouwen die gebruik maken van elkaars wijsheid en ervaringen. 16:00 Jezelf weerbaar maken tegen het perfecte plaatjes van sociale media. 18:50 Emoties en gevoel zijn oordelen en dat doe je met je rede. 21:20 Het verschil tussen eenvoud en gemak. 23:35 Gebruik technologie op een stoïcijnse manier. 25:40 Er is vast iemand die me kan vertellen wat ik moet doen. Hoe krijg ik mijn leven weer op de rit en uit de chaos? 27:20 Het is minder druk in mijn hoofd en ik kan betere keuzes maken. 28:35 Gelukkig zijn met minder waardoor er minder druk op het inkomen zit. 30:10 De beloning zit vooral in de impact. 33:20 Een positieve impact maken op iemand anders' leven is een onderdeel van stoïcijns zijn. Het leven van een goed leven. 36:30 Het alternatief voor het mannelijke, krachtige stoïcisme de Stoicisters. 37:25 Een onderscheid maken met wie je werkt, bijvoorbeeld alleen met vrouwen. Met een het voorbeeld van Deja Foxx en waarom Erno voor de podcast alleen vrouwelijke leiders uitnodigt. 39:45 Als je je buitengesloten voelt door een bepaalde netwerk, waar ben je dan bang voor, wat zit er achter? 43:40 Elementen uit het stoïcisme misbruikt worden in de sfeer van de macho man voor de eigen agenda. 46:15 Marcus Aurelius als het voorbeeld hoe een leider moet zijn, medemenselijk en onzeker. 48:05 Meer kijken naar de overeenkomsten en wat je van de ander kunt leren, in plaats van de verschillen zoeken en je daar tegen afzetten. 48:15 Richt je op de dingen die binnen je macht liggen en accepteer de dingen die niet binnen je macht liggen. 49:20 Wees het tegenovergestelde van de persoon waar je van denkt die het niet goed doen. 54:00 Het meest lastige is nee zeggen tegen de dingen die je leuk vindt, en vooral als je ervoor gevraagd wordt. 56:50 Houvast aan de deugden bij lastige keuzes, zoals moed. 1:00:35 De maatschappij beter kunnen maken wanneer we de definitie van 'werk' veranderen. Dat dit niet hoeft te gaan over inkomen.

Welcome back to the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., where we help women build strength from the inside out. Today, we're taking a deep dive into the root of human vitality — the minerals that power every cell in your body. Our guest, Caroline Alan, is the co-founder of BEAM Minerals and a passionate educator on the critical role humic and fulvic substances play in cellular function. Years ago, Caroline found herself stuck in chronic inflammation, adrenal burnout, brain fog, anxiety, and full-body depletion while navigating a stressful corporate career. No matter what supplements she tried, nothing worked — until she discovered humic and fulvic minerals. What happened next completely changed her life. Within months, her inflammation calmed, her adrenals began recovering, her sleep normalized, and her energy returned. A follow-up test showed her adrenal function restored — even though she never took the hydrocortisone her doctor prescribed. The only change she made was adding minerals back into her body. Today, Caroline and her co-founder, Dan Howard, have built BEAM Minerals into one of the cleanest, most trusted mineral lines available — helping thousands restore balance, energy, and resilience at the cellular level. If you've been feeling drained, foggy, anxious, or "off," this conversation will change how you think about minerals, nutrition, and cellular health. UNDERSTANDING MINERALS STARTS IN THE CELLS 1. Caroline's Turning Point What was happening in your body before you discovered minerals? What symptoms were the biggest red flags that something was wrong? How did you find humic and fulvic minerals, and what changes showed up first? 2. Why Modern Humans Are Mineral-Depleted How does soil depletion affect the nutrient content of our food? Can organic food solve the problem, or is supplementation now essential? Why stress, toxins, and processed foods drain minerals faster than we realize. 3. Recognizing Mineral Depletion Common signals: fatigue, anxiety, brain fog, poor sleep, cravings, dehydration, or hormonal instability. Are there accurate ways to test for mineral status? Why hair analysis and tools like Oligoscan may provide better insight than blood tests. 4. Getting Minerals Back Into the Body What makes humic and fulvic minerals different from typical mineral supplements? Why the body absorbs minerals only when they're delivered in the right ratios. What people should know about electrolyte packets, mineral blends, and isolated supplements. How to begin replenishing safely and effectively. 5. Real Results & Cellular Homeostasis How restoring mineral balance changes energy, sleep, mood, and hormone function. Why cellular homeostasis is the foundation of vitality.   BEAM Minerals https://beamminerals.com Mineral Geek (Educational Resource) https://mineralgeek.com Instagram — Caroline Alan https://instagram.com/carolinealan.official Discount for Sisterhood of Sweat Listeners: Code: SOS SWEAT (all caps) for 20% off

Have you ever joined a sisterhood, mentorship, or spiritual empowerment group that promised deep connection—but over time, you started feeling more lost, more muted, and more disconnected from your real life?In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, I'm sharing a vulnerable look at how so many modern feminine empowerment circles masquerade as community but lead women into spiritual isolation and identity erosion. Rooted in Proverbs 18:1, I explore how these programs lure us in with language like “safe space,” “authenticity,” and “alignment,” yet often result in silence, sameness, and separation from truth.I share my personal experience of slowly losing my voice in these circles - adopting the group's vocabulary, dressing like the other women, even wearing the same symbolic necklace - all while believing I was finding my true self. But once I stepped out, I felt ungrounded, uncertain, and untethered.This episode is a wake-up call for the woman who has been craving real connection, but looking for it in the wrong places. It's for the one who knows something feels off, but hasn't had the words for it—until now.What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why Proverbs 18:1 is a powerful warning about isolation disguised as empowermentHow many women unknowingly give away their voice inside so-called sisterhood circlesThe Stepford Wives effect: why everyone starts sounding, dressing, and thinking the sameWhy these groups lead to spiritual and relational isolation—even from family and friendsWhat Biblical sisterhood actually looks like, and how it sharpens instead of silencesMy personal story of how I felt shaky and lost after leaving these groupsA prayer and reflection for reclaiming your God-given voice and communitySome journal questions to help you if you've been in - or are still in - these spacesIf this episode speaks to your journey—especially if you're recovering from false sisterhoods, New Age spaces, or performance-based spirituality—you're not alone. You're not too far gone. And you can rebuild, voice by voice, step by step, in the truth of God's Word.The Illuminated Connection Call is a free conversation where we talk heart to heart—no pressure, no agenda. I'd love to hear what's on your heart, where you are in your life and spiritual journey, and what you're sensing God may be stirring in you. Whether you're just beginning to question the New Age path, exploring Biblical truth, are already living a God-led life, or simply feeling lost and unsure—this space is for you.

Get ready to dive into the creative heart of the quilting community, kicking off with Hawaiian quilt projects and the exciting world of needle felting. Rochelle shared some fantastic tips, including using dollar store dog brushes to blend wool roving and noting that higher-numbered needles achieve a finer felt. They both highlighted a great mix of detailed crafting techniques, personal project updates, and shout-outs to local shops and fellow quilters.It wasn't all just thread and wool—we also got some wonderful personal updates, from hemming pants for grandchildren to Leslie and Rochelle's hair updates. The team celebrated new projects, like a 3D gift bow pillow kit from Foxy's Kits and Quilts and shared a funny story about a 2:30 AM credit card crisis while registering for a ShipShawana event. The discussion wrapped up with a focus on community, covering everything from the benefits of Fix It Adhesive for wool appliqué to heartfelt reflections on gratitude, mentorship, and the importance of sisterhood. It was a beautiful reminder of the passion and support that makes the Tulsa-area quilting world so special.Send us a textFollow Leslie on Instagram at @leslie_quilts and Rochelle at @doughnutwarrior

Welcome back to the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., where we empower women to step into strength, vitality, and purpose — body, mind, and spirit. Today's episode is a powerful reminder that grit, integrity, and authentic health still win… even in an industry overflowing with noise. I'm sitting down with James Oliver, the founder and CEO of Atlas Bar — one of the fastest-growing clean-ingredient protein bar companies in the country. His journey is unlike anything you've heard: no investors, no fancy funding, no shortcuts. James built Atlas Bar from scratch by driving more than 3,000 Uber rides to pay for his first batch of bars. And he didn't just claim "clean nutrition" — he proved it. James ran 100 miles in six days, fueled exclusively by Atlas Bars, to demonstrate what real food and real integrity can do. Today, Atlas Bars are sold in 2,000+ stores, have millions of customers nationwide, and continue to grow without outside funding or corporate influence. This is the kind of purpose-driven story that fuels our community: resilience, wellness rooted in truth, and the courage to build something extraordinary from the ground up.

If you're anything like me, you've probably got a graveyard of supplements in a cupboard or under the sink, half-empty jars of vitamins that promised the world but now just gather dust. And when you do remember to take them, you're faced with a mountain of pills of all shapes and sizes. Ugh.Well, my guest this week is here to save us from that nightmare. Jennifer O'Connell, a friend of mine from our university days, left a 20-year career as a top barrister in Dublin and New York to co-found SISTERLY, alongside her two brilliant friends, Aoife Matthews and Louise O'Riordan.We chat about:How Jennifer's legal career helped her navigate everything from trademarks to manufacturing disputesWhy designing for women not small men makes all the differenceThe three-year journey to perfecting a powder supplement that's now winning awards (and hearts!)How community and authenticity are driving their grassroots growth – from cold-water swims at the 40 Foot to Sisterly Summits in London and DublinThe power of organic advocacy: think Sonia O'Sullivan, Liz Earle, Trinny Woodall, and even the cast of Rivals (Victoria Smurfit doppleganger?!)What I love about this story (and I hope you will too) is that it's about more than supplements; it's about sisterhood, collaboration, and creating something that truly elevates women's everyday health.Oh, and “Women are not small men.” When you design specifically for women, you make a better product for women. SISTERLY have nailed that, from the science to the packaging to the way they show up in the world. And I love how they're building community in such a natural, joyful way, not just selling a product but inviting women to connect, dance, swim, and lift each other up. Enjoy, I hope you all learn loads!Useful linksSISTERLY website https://sisterlylabs.comFollow on Instagram @sisterly_labFollow on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/sisterlylabConnect with Jennifer on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-o´connell-b1066022a/Connect with Aoife Matthews https://www.linkedin.com/in/aoifematthews/Connect with Louise O'Riordan https://www.linkedin.com/in/louise-oriordan/============================================================Thanks to Brand Growth Heroes' podcast sponsor - Joelson, the commercial law firm=============================================================If you're a founder, you already know how much of your energy goes into building the perfect product, creating standout branding and connecting with your consumers.But don't forget that scaling a CPG business also comes with a maze of legal complexities that can make or break your business journey.

This week in the Den, the Mamas finally bring on Ashley's LITERAL day one—Nalo, her best friend since birth, Nalo Wise. After years of stories, references, and inside jokes, the audience gets to meet the woman herself. Together, Melanie, Codie, Ashley and Nalo take us deep into what it really takes to make a friendship last for decades: the honesty, the maturity, the forgiveness, and the intentionality that adult friendships demand—especially for women and moms.With maintaining new and old friendships being such a hot topic among moms and on social media, this conversation couldn't come at a better time. As we head into Thanksgiving, a season centered on love, gratitude, and the people who feel like home, this episode is a beautiful reminder that chosen family matters just as much as the ones we're born into. Prepare to laugh, reflect, and maybe text a friend after this one.We love getting Listener Letters!
