Podcasts about Sisterhood

This week on The Mama's Den, we're joined by the radiant Simone I. Smith — jewelry designer, mother of four, grandmother of four, devoted wife to LL Cool J, and a true embodiment of sisterhood.Simone is the definition of a girl's girl: a woman whose brand and spirit are rooted in community, friendship, and showing up for other women. From her signature hoop designs under Simone I. Smith Jewelry to the wisdom she carries as a cancer survivor, Simone's story is one of resilience, grace, and deep faith.In this conversation, we talk about God's timing, trusting the seasons of motherhood, and learning to lean into the kind of mom you truly are — not the one you think you're supposed to be. Simone shares what it means to build a life grounded in love, purpose, and sisterhood, and why every chapter unfolds exactly when it's meant to.This episode is a reminder that motherhood isn't one-size-fits-all… and that sometimes, the greatest strength comes from embracing your own journey — right on time.Make sure you connect with our Mamas on IG: @themamasdenpodcastAshley - @watermeloneggrollsCodie - @codieco Melanie - @melaniefiona Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with filmmaker and investigative producer Dan Farah to explore some of the most provocative questions of our time: have governments hidden evidence of non-human intelligence for decades, and what does a global disclosure look like? Dan has interviewed senators, intelligence chiefs, fighter pilots, Pentagon insiders, and other high level sources — and the patterns they describe are consistent: we are not alone, and the truth about that has been withheld for more than 80 years. Dan's documentary The Age of Disclosure is currently the #1 documentary on Amazon Prime Video and claims to uncover an unprecedented, long-hidden narrative involving bipartisan testimony from 34 government, military, and intelligence figures. The film goes beyond speculation, exploring allegations of classified programs, advanced non-human technology, and a secret cold war among world powers to reverse-engineer exotic capabilities. In this conversation, Dan and Linda tackle the questions people are afraid to ask: what happens when a project like this stops feeling like a documentary and starts feeling dangerous, why sources are speaking out now, and whether the public is being protected or manipulated by secrecy. They examine the nature of power and control, what it would mean for society if disclosure happened tomorrow, and whether this is a slow preparation or an imminent revelation. This episode is a deep dive into history, secrecy, psychology, and the narratives that shape what we accept as "known." If you're curious about the intersection of policy, technology, and what may lie beyond conventional explanation, this conversation will stretch your thinking and invite you to consider perspectives far beyond the everyday. What We Talk About in This Episode: How the project transitioned from a documentary into something potentially "dangerous" Whether Dan was ever warned or discouraged from making the film Why insiders from across the political spectrum are now willing to speak publicly How the topic relates to aliens, intelligence, and global power structures What discovery of non-human intelligence might mean for society Whether governments are protecting or manipulating public awareness The claims in the film that may be hardest for the public to accept If gradual disclosure is a strategy or if a tipping point is near Connect with Dan: THE AGE OF DISCLOSURE - A FILM BY DAN FARAH AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE ON PRIME VIDEO X: @ageofdisclosure TikTok: @ageofdisclosure YouTube: @TheAgeOfDisclosure Instagram & Facebook: @ageofdisclosure www.theageofdisclosure.com

In this episode of The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with Dr. Deb Butler, a certified master weight loss and life coach, former board-certified chiropractor, nutritionist, and acupuncturist, and the host of the podcast Thinner Peace in Menopause and Beyond. Dr. Deb joins the show to share her personal journey through decades of dieting, body conflict, and the deeper emotional experience of weight loss, especially in menopause. After originally trying every conventional diet approach she knew, she eventually realized that persistent hunger, emotional eating, and the relentless struggle with food were not about willpower—but about signals the body and brain were sending that she hadn't learned to interpret. Dr. Deb and Linda explore how hormonal changes in menopause often make traditional diet and exercise plans feel impossible to sustain, and why the reframe from "dieting" to coaching and self-trust can be life-changing. They talk about the difference between emotional hunger and physical hunger, how food can become a comfort or avoidance mechanism, and the value of mindful eating that honors both body and experience. Dr. Deb describes her THINNER Peace Process, a step-by-step framework she uses with clients to help them move out of cycles of struggle and into more compassionate, long-term change. The conversation also touches on strategies for managing urges, retraining taste preferences, experimenting with food elimination to discover what works for one's unique body, and how self-trust is rebuilt through small wins. Dr. Deb and Linda acknowledge that midlife can prompt a reevaluation of purpose and identity, and that sustainable wellbeing often comes from understanding the psychological and emotional aspects of eating—not just the physical. Whether you're in menopause, diet-weary, or simply wanting to understand your relationship with food more deeply, this episode offers grounded, psychological tools and a new lens for thinking about food and body acceptance. This conversation is about making peace with food and your body, learning to trust hunger cues instead of restricting, and finding ways to live well that actually feel sustainable and empowering. What we talk about in this episode Why traditional dieting often fails in menopause How menopause changes hunger cues and body response Emotional eating versus physical hunger The THINNER Peace Process for lasting change Mindset shifts that support peace with food Building trust in yourself instead of relying on restriction Strategies for managing urges and retraining taste How identity shifts in midlife impact weight and self-perception Creating a balanced approach to food that supports wellbeing Connect with Dr. Deb Butler Website: https://drdebbutler.com/ Podcast – Thinner Peace in Menopause and Beyond: https://thinnerpeace.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdebbutler/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrDebButler/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-deb-butler/ Book / Resources (if applicable): https://thinnerpeace.com/ebook/

Send us a textMOPB- Blind Leading the BlindPodcast Summary – Ro-Mina / MOPB S1 E4 “Boobs and Knees”This episode opens with a deep dive into Ro-Mina's background. Born in Uzbekistan during the USSR era, Ro-Mina is a Bukharian (Buharian) Sephardic Jew with Persian roots—something she considers central to her identity. She immigrated to the U.S. at age five, speaks fluent Russian, and grew up in Northeast Philly before moving to Bucks County. A longtime reality-TV fan, Ro-Mina manifested her place on TV and ultimately landed on the show through Rosalyn.Professionally, Ro-Mina partnered with her brother in a senior home-care business, which they later sold. She then invested heavily in real estate with her husband Roman, taking over design and staging while he builds, leases, and manages properties himself. Roman has supported her reality-TV ambitions from day one.Ro-Mina finds herself caught in the middle of the growing rift between Rosalyn and Hillary. While she respects Hillary's talent and hustle, she believes Hillary revealed Rosalyn's past in a way that felt malicious. She encourages Rosalyn to keep finding her voice and stay authentic, while struggling with loyalty on both sides.The recap then shifts to MOPB S1 E4 – “Boobs and Knees.” Hillary plans a lavish vow renewal after her intimate Tuscany wedding, complete with yacht tastings and nonstop criticism of the food. She continues her crusade against Maria, accusing her of inappropriate behavior and declaring she doesn't belong in the group.At Maria's DJ launch party, tensions explode. Hillary and Maria face off over accusations of name-calling, attention-seeking, and physical boundaries. The argument ends with Hillary uninviting Maria from her vow renewal—and Maria gladly accepting the dismissal.The drama escalates again at Rosalyn's billionaire-level gala, featuring a $1.2M Bulgari Serpenti necklace. Fashion rules (“boobs and knees”), etiquette wars, and reputation policing dominate the night. Taja confronts Gale over name-dropping and authenticity, while Maria exposes behind-the-scenes judgment from the group. The evening reaches peak chaos when Gale literally falls off the couch, triggering a glam emergency and unfiltered confessionals.The episode closes with fractured alliances, wounded egos, and the clear realization that Palm Beach politeness is no match for unchecked honesty, couture confidence, and unresolved grudges.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

Angel heads to meet the ladies while the group continues dissecting her comments about checking with her husband, Bobby, regarding childcare. Stacey, Jassi, and Monique question whether Angel is using her kids as an excuse, with Monique projecting her own past experiences and wishing she'd addressed Angel directly instead of letting the conversation travel through the group.The women arrive at the airport to a luxe private jet provided by Stella Jets, immediately sparking speculation that the flight is comped for promo. Before takeoff, Angel attempts to apologize for the water and heat issues at the house, but Giselle is not having it. She accuses Angel of being a terrible host who never checked in, while Wendy co-signs that a true host would have shown concern, even if the problem was already being fixed. Despite Angel explaining she was in “fix-it mode,” Giselle makes it clear the apology is too little, too late—and takes credit for moving everyone to the Four Seasons. A toast is made… to Giselle, leaving Angel visibly defeated.Once whiskey starts flowing, the mood lightens slightly, but the core issue remains. Monique and Jassi explain their concern stemmed from Monique's own marriage experiences, but Angel firmly shuts down the narrative that she's depleted or unhappy, insisting her marriage is loving and supportive. Wendy pushes Angel to “stand on business” and own who she's close to, rather than trying to please everyone. Angel becomes emotional, expressing how painful it is to feel disbelieved while telling her truth. Monique, Ashley, and Tia agree the group is being especially hard on Angel.The trip shifts into full Aspen luxury mode at Kemo Sabe, complete with custom hats, turquoise jewelry, sky-high shopping totals, and plenty of shade. Monique stays sober, Ashley plays bartender, and Giselle side-eyes everyone's spending. The energy shifts again when Mauricio (Moe) pops up in the VVIP lounge, sending Giselle into protective mode while Stacey and Jassi encourage Ashley to shoot her shot. Accusations of cock-blocking fly, Beverly Hills–Potomac crossover drama brews, and Giselle struggles to control the narrative.The episode ends with yet another divide: Giselle announces an executive suite dinner and brunch plan, while Angel insists they have an early activity scheduled. The group appears split, the tension unresolved, and the promise of fly fishing still nowhere in sight—setting up a chaotic continuation next week.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

On day two of the Colorado getaway, the group heads to Aspen for a day of fun, but not before a confrontation over the guest house accommodations.

In this powerful episode of The Sisterhood of Sweat, Linda Mitchell sits down with a guest whose work and perspective speak directly to the moment we're living in—a time when burnout, pressure, and emotional overload have become the norm rather than the exception. This conversation explores what real resilience actually looks like when life feels heavy. Not the "push harder" version so many of us have been taught, but a grounded, sustainable kind of strength that supports both performance and peace. Together, Linda and her guest unpack how stress shows up in the body, why so many high-achieving people feel exhausted even when they're doing everything "right," and how mental and emotional health require intention just as much as physical fitness does. Throughout the episode, Linda asks thoughtful questions about the early warning signs of burnout, the difference between discipline and self-punishment, and why so many people ignore their emotional needs until they reach a breaking point. The discussion highlights how stress is not just a mental experience, but a full-body response that impacts sleep, hormones, focus, motivation, and long-term health. The conversation also dives into practical tools listeners can use right away—simple shifts in mindset, daily practices that calm the nervous system, and ways to build emotional strength without adding more pressure or perfectionism. There's a strong emphasis on meeting yourself where you are, letting go of guilt around rest and recovery, and understanding that resilience is something you build over time, not something you prove in a crisis. Faith, purpose, and values are woven naturally into the discussion, offering another layer of support for those who draw strength from spirituality without turning it into another box to check or standard to meet. The episode reinforces the idea that ambition and inner calm do not have to be opposites—and that sustainable success comes from alignment, not exhaustion. This episode is a reminder that strength isn't about white-knuckling your way through life. It's about creating habits, environments, and internal dialogue that allow you to show up fully—without burning out in the process. If you've been feeling stretched thin, wired but tired, or questioning how much longer you can keep going at this pace, this conversation will help you reset your perspective and walk away with tools you can actually use.   Official Website: https://jennlyon.net  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejennlyon/  Twitter / X: https://x.com/thejennlyon  IMDb (Filmography and Credits): https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4434808/

In this powerful episode of Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda Mitchell sits down with Charles and Heidi Hatley, the couple behind Kava & Kettlebells, to challenge one of the most normalized beliefs in modern wellness: that alcohol is the best way to relax, unwind, or cope with stress. Charles and Heidi share how their journey through fitness, parenthood, trauma, and healing led them to explore alternatives to alcohol—specifically kava, a traditional plant-based drink long used in Pacific Island cultures. What began as a personal experiment quickly became a lifestyle shift rooted in nervous system regulation, recovery, and intentional living. Charles opens up about how his background in aviation and the Air Force exposed him to a deeply ingrained drinking culture, and how alcohol quietly undermined his fitness, recovery, sleep, and overall health. Heidi shares her own deeply personal story of surviving a near-fatal car accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury, and how movement, nutrition, faith, and consistency played a critical role in her recovery. Together, they discuss how kava works differently than alcohol or marijuana, why it supports calm without impairing awareness, and how it has helped them stay present—as parents, partners, and individuals—without numbing out. The conversation also explores the importance of sleep, cortisol regulation, screen boundaries, circadian rhythm, and creating intentional family routines in a world driven by constant stimulation. This episode is an honest, grounded conversation about healing the nervous system, redefining relaxation, and modeling strength, faith, and calm in everyday life. It's not about extremes or perfection—it's about creating an environment where the body and brain can actually recover. Whether you're sober-curious, burned out, navigating recovery, or simply questioning what real wellness looks like, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on choosing clarity, connection, and strength over numbing. Topics discussed in this episode: • Why alcohol quietly sabotages fitness, recovery, and brain health • What kava is, how it works, and how it differs from alcohol and marijuana • Nervous system regulation and why it's missing from most wellness conversations • Healing after traumatic brain injury through movement, nutrition, and sleep • Cortisol, sleep quality, and intentional evening routines • Parenting without numbing in a high-stimulation culture • Morning workouts, circadian rhythm, and daily structure • Faith, resilience, and building a grounded family life About Charles and Heidi Hatley: Charles and Heidi Hatley are the voices behind Kava & Kettlebells, a platform and podcast focused on strength training, alcohol-free living, nervous system health, and intentional recovery. They are parents, fitness enthusiasts, and advocates for living fully present—without sacrificing clarity, connection, or purpose.

In this episode of the Sisterhood of Sweat, Linda Mitchell sits down with Dr. Joy Kong, MD — triple board-certified physician, stem cell specialist, educator, author, and founder of Chara Health USA — for a powerful conversation about healing, resilience, and the courage to never shrink your light. Dr. Joy explains how ketamine therapy, when used therapeutically, can support brain regeneration, enhance neural connections, and help rewire the brain after trauma. She shares how ketamine increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor, promotes new synapse formation, and can support emotional healing when used responsibly in a clinical setting. The conversation explores how ketamine can be paired with stem cell therapy to reduce inflammation, support neurological repair, and promote deep, long-term healing. The discussion also turns to skincare and aging from a regenerative perspective. Dr. Joy shares the personal story behind creating her stem cell–inspired face cream, Chara Omni, explaining how it combines umbilical cord–derived regenerative factors, peptides, and powerful botanical ingredients. Her goal was to create a clean, non-toxic product that truly works — supporting collagen production, reducing pigmentation, and improving skin health without hormone-disrupting or harmful chemicals. Dr. Joy also shares her top non-negotiables for youthful, healthy skin at any age, including eating clean, avoiding toxins, moving your body consistently, prioritizing sleep, and cultivating a mindset rooted in gratitude. She emphasizes that gratitude alone can shift your physiology, energy, and overall well-being. Linda and Dr. Joy then dive into the powerful story behind her memoir, Tiger of Beijing. Dr. Joy recounts growing up in China with limited access to education and opportunity, her visa rejection in 1992, and the fierce determination that drove her to claw her way toward possibility. She explains the "tiger spirit" — a refusal to shrink, accept limits, or let fear take over — that ultimately helped her reach the United States and build a life devoted to healing and purpose. She also opens up about the second half of her story, sharing how she found the strength to leave an abusive relationship and why protecting your spirit is just as important as chasing your dreams. Her message to women is clear: do not dim your light, do not shrink yourself, and do not let fear take you out of the game. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, resilience can be cultivated, and your story — no matter how difficult — can become a source of strength.

A lot of the pieces are very airy, and so you're actually seeing through them. You see how it all blends together and flows into one really great use of the space.— Sandra BrickMultimedia storytelling takes the stagePerformance enthusiast Laurel Podulke-Smith of Rochester follows the work of local artist Jessalyn Finch, who has a short multimedia film debuting this weekend. “Embodied Landscapes” is the creation of Finch, Mary Mailand Schlichting and Laura Sukowatey. The film incorporates dance, large-scale drawing and sculpture.The premiere takes place at the Historic Chateau Theatre in Rochester on Sunday, Jan. 11. Screenings are at 2 and 3:15 p.m., with an artist talk and Q&A in between. Attendees are encouraged to wear cocktail attire and enjoy mocktails while meeting the artists.Surreal sisterhood in ‘Plano'Minneapolis theater maker Caleb Byers recommends “Plano,” presented by Third Space Theater. The play runs Jan. 9–18 at the Alan Page Auditorium at Mixed Blood Theatre in Minneapolis.Caleb says he's been anticipating this production since seeing Third Space Theater's original show “Breach” at the Fringe Festival. Caleb describes the play: Will Arbery is something of a magical realist-slash-surrealist playwright. And “Plano” is about three sisters, essentially in a sort of heightened reality and a sort of undisclosed period of time. Time is a little bit strange in “Plano.” They, in a very surreal style, move through their specific problems. There's very snappy, casual, modern dialogue. I'm incredibly excited for these artists in particular to tackle this.— Caleb Byers

Do you ever find yourself second guessing yourself? You have some ideas or dreams, but then reality hits, and you ask the question, "Who am I to do this?"  Doubts creep in along with fears of the unknown. We tend to live in that constant state of fears and because of it remain exactly where we are. But what we were to break out of that fear?  What if we were to make steps today that would lead us to a brighter and better future version of ourselves?   Listen to the podcast HERE     In this episode I talk about my own struggle about opening a gym and the fears and doubts that I had as I second guessed myself.  I realize that we all have big plans and dreams, so how do we turn those into a reality rather than just sitting on them? How do we take that first step and then another in order to further our dreams and do the desires that are in us to do.  That's what we are talking about today.   Topics Discussed: Making big plans. How to overcome fear. Recognizing that you are capable. Quotes from the show: "We worry about the what ifs instead of what could be." @LindaMitchell "What are you actually afraid of?" @LindaMitchell "You're going to win or learn." @LindaMitchell "Give yourself permission." @LindaMitchell "You can't put one foot in and one foot out." @LindaMitchell "I don't have to do things the way others have done them." @LindaMitchell   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
