Pastor Kimberly shares her journey from growing up as a Canadian Adventist pastor's daughter with Jamaican roots to creating House of Women, an online ministry that empowers women through biblical storytelling, resilience, and sisterhood. She reflects on the joys and pressures of church life, her shift from traditional ministry into new forms of spiritual leadership, and her commitment to reinterpreting biblical women through her new book, The Sisters Stay Dropping Gems. Rooted in Adventist values yet unafraid to step beyond church walls, Kimberly invites others to embrace healing, creativity, and bold new approaches to ministry.

Steph Edusei's leadership strategy can be encapsulated in two philosophies: “be a little bit naughty” and “push the boundaries”. This mindset of challenging the status quo, paired with a commitment to compassionate, human-centred leadership, defines her career trajectory from the rigid NHS structure to the caring culture of the charitable hospice sector. Edusei spent almost 20 years in the NHS, where she experienced a culture of immense pressure, constant reorganisation and a sense of being a “small cog in a huge machine”. Her appointment in 2020 as CEO of St Oswald's Hospice – a charitable hospice based in the north east – presented a stark contrast.Credits:Presenter: Éilis CroninProducer: Inga MarsdenArtwork: Jenny Hardy Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Be Truly Heard, Anne Leatherland revisits the idea of “owning the space” and takes it further, on how to take up space so you feel you belong in the room and your message lands. She explains that voice is both physical and personal, shaped by breath, alignment and the nervous system, and shares two client wins (Elsa's impromptu graduation talk and Claire's high-stakes Zoom) to show how grounding, breath–vocal fold coordination and seated dynamic alignment can transform confidence and clarity. Anne contrasts rigid “power poses” with natural, responsive body use, then guides safe awareness exercises on head–neck balance (drawing on the Alexander Technique), spinal curves and allowing micromovements to stay balanced. Key TakeawaysOwning the space is essential, but feeling entitled to take it up (you belong here; your voice deserves to be heard) is the unlock for confident speaking.Swap “posture” for dynamic alignment: a responsive, balanced stance or seat that keeps you free to move and speak, never rigid. Think micromovements, not statues.Head–neck balance changes your sound: craning forward, lifting the chin, leaning, or slumping tightens the system; a small “nodding dog” balance frees it. Try counting to five in each position to feel the difference.Your voice is a system: breath interacts with the vocal folds, supported by abdominal and stabilising musculature, so alignment and breathing habits matter.Best Moments“Successful communication begins before you even open your mouth.”“Our head is not attached to our neck like a lollipop on a stick.”“We need to allow what I call micro movements.”“Our voice is the result of lots of different processes.”About the hostWith over 28 years' voice-teaching experience, Anne Leatherland helps clients progress quickly and achieve goals with confidence. Bridging science, education and the performing arts, she is a science graduate, qualified teacher and singing teacher with advanced training in voice practice, vocal habilitation and life coaching.

If you've ever felt dismissed, talked over, or unsure how to handle tense conversations without losing yourself, this episode is for you.More info, ways to connect & resources: https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/mark-oconnellIn this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, MommaFoxFire sits down with Mark O'Connell, a psychotherapist based in NYC with a background in acting. The conversation centers around how we can communicate with people whose perspectives feel combative or totally different from our own, and why it's important that each of us takes up space and feels seen - even when things get tense.Mark opens up about how his acting experience shaped the way he practices therapy today. He doesn't view acting as pretending but as truth-telling. That mindset carries into the therapy room, where he works to understand his clients deeply, noticing not just their words but the energy behind them. He says therapy, much like acting, is about being fully present, responsive and curious in the moment.One of the biggest takeaways from the conversation is the idea of mutual recognition. Mark explains that it's less about changing someone's mind or winning an argument and more about seeing and being seen. Especially during high-stakes conversations, like the ones we often have with family during the holidays, it's not helpful to go in expecting agreement. What helps more is showing up with vulnerability, stating your truth clearly and being curious about the other person's experience. That's where real connection starts.Mark also addresses how exhausting it can be to try to talk across drastically different realities - like when two people don't even agree on what's true. He suggests setting boundaries where needed and giving yourself permission to disengage if the conversation feels unsafe. But he encourages people not to lose hope. Even when it feels impossible to reach someone, keeping the possibility of mutual understanding alive can be powerful.They also talk about what it means to “take up space.” For some people, that might mean speaking up more. For others, especially those who are already vocal, it might mean sharing vulnerability or emotion - things they usually keep hidden. Mark encourages listeners to notice their own patterns and stretch in whatever way helps them feel more whole.Throughout the episode, there's also a very real, very human tone. They talk about the mental load of parenting, the impact of toddlers on your brain, and how hard it is to balance emotional labor with daily life. Mark mentions how hard it can be to get therapy covered by insurance and stresses that good therapy should be more accessible.The conversation wraps with a wish to throw out the idea that mental health is something you either “have” or don't. Mark wants people to understand that mental health exists on a spectrum, and we're all navigating it. He encourages folks to stop boxing themselves in with labels and instead think about how to stay present, be curious and make room for their full selves.Whether you're headed into a hard conversation, feeling unseen, or just trying to be better understood, this episode is a thoughtful, grounded reminder that communication is more about connection than agreement!

In this episode, I help leadership coach and podcaster Julie Neale work through the discomfort she feels on stage.Though she's right at home behind the microphone, being on stage stirs up something different. Julie may look confident, but inside, she's anxious — silently struggling.Together, we trace her nerves back to early experiences that shaped her identity, including a pivotal moment when her father, with the best intentions, publicly praised her in a way that became a role she felt expected to play — even at the expense of her own truth.We also talk about how to feel more grounded, expand your stage presence, and create a sense of belonging in front of an audience.If you've ever felt unseen, misrepresented, or not fully yourself in the spotlight, this conversation will speak to you.Click here to check the full show notes.

Sexologist Alexa Andre (@sexwithalexa) is joined by Catherine Drysdale—sex & relationship coach—who's on a mission to help women and femmes unlearn the “good girl” scripts that keep them small, quiet, and out of touch with their desires.We talk about:• What “good girl conditioning” really means and how it shows up in our lives• The difference between Good Girl Conditioning and being a "good girl" in a power dynamic• The pressure to be nice, palatable, and liked (and how that impacts our relationships and sex lives)• Why so many of us have trouble asking for what we want—especially in bed• The link between patriarchy and the fear of being “too much”• How to begin reclaiming your voice, your wants, and your power• Ways to get comfortable with discomfort, especially when it comes to setting boundaries• Rewriting your relationship with shame, worthiness, and sexual expressionThis is a permission slip to take up space and live more fully, more loudly, and more authentically.✨ At the end of the episode, we also chat about how this work spills into dating, communication, and how to support other women on the same journey.

In this episode of WAIT. HOLD UP…WHAT?, host Dawne Hanks is joined by Alyson Spungin for a vulnerable, honest conversation about what it means to truly take up space—and how that looks different for everyone.Together, they unpack the pressure women face around body image, productivity, and performance, especially within the dance community. Alyson shares how her personal experiences with therapy and psychology shaped her understanding of health, healing, and autonomy. She also opens up about her practice of celebrating small wins offline—without social media, without external validation, just presence.Dawne and Alyson both reflect on how we often expect others to “fix” us when all we really need is a safe space to exist. They honor the quiet, supportive men in their lives—like Alyson's father, who drove hours just to check in during her first year of college, or Dawne's stepfather, who offered small gestures that made a big impact. These moments model the kind of support that empowers rather than overcomes.This episode isn't just about movement or mindset. It's about redefining what health, growth, and support look like on your own terms—and how giving ourselves permission to take up space is a radical act of self-trust.

Eddie's still battling the flu, but that doesn't stop the nonsense! Marconi debuts a new game called What Am I Crinkling?—because obviously, that's content now.

Plus, a woman prays to Tesla, and the guys take a moment to remember KROQ legend Jed The Fish. A little sick, a little weird, and fully Mood Killers

Man I went through some MAJOR mindset reflection the other day and I just had to share it with you. It is so common to feel fearful and not good enough in the face of an uplevel and that's what tends to hold people back and keep them in a loop. If you want different, you need to move different and for long enough to create change! Your next level reality and upgraded identity is on the other side of pushing past limiting beliefs and learning to endure the initial phases of uncomfortability to see it through. You DO have what it takes and you ARE good enough and I am going to tell you why in today's epi

When you imagine your 60s and 70s, do you picture yourself on the couch eating twinkies and watching TV for your final days? Well, Liz thought so too! Turns out, there's so much more to do than we think. It's not too late to start a new hobby, change your mind about your values, connect with new people, and so much more. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Let's get curious about aging as a woman, bust some myths around expectations, and find excitement in what's to come!    Some key takeaways from this episode include: Stay true to yourself as you age. Aging comes with societal expectations, but embracing your authentic self—rather than conforming—leads to a more fulfilling life in every aspect.  Reflect on your values and politics in our ever-changing American society. Politics, discrimination, and personal integrity all shape how we navigate aging. Regularly evaluating your beliefs and relationships ensures they align with your true purpose. Question standards and take up space! Many women have unconsciously minimized themselves to fit societal norms. Challenging these expectations allows you to live more freely and impact the world in a meaningful way.    MUD/WTR is a coffee alternative consisting of 100% organic cacao, ayurvedic herbs and functional mushrooms.
