In this enlightening conversation, Dr. Anindya Siddhartha discusses the complexities of being a woman in today's society, addressing the societal pressures, the impact of education, and the importance of emotional health. She emphasizes the need for vulnerability in masculinity and the role of media in shaping perceptions. The discussion also touches on the mind-body connection and offers advice for future generations on love, respect, and resilience. Takeaways Embrace the glorious mess as you are. Life doesn't fit into categories; it's messy and magical. Education is just a degree; it doesn't define a person. Pain, depression, and anxiety have no gender; everyone experiences them. Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. Grief is a part of life; it will always be there. Love yourself first; everything else will fall into place. Healthy masculinity involves vulnerability and mutual respect. Breaking down is a normal part of being human. Empathy and compassion are essential in understanding others' struggles. Sound bites "Education is just the degree." "Vulnerability is strength." "Breaking down is a part of it."

We kick off a new season of Young Adult Ministry at West Ridge with a series on Biblical Manhood & Womanhood.  Each month, we will explore key characteristics that help people become godly men and women.  This month, we start by looking at the thing we pursue more than anything else.

Today I'm reviewing A Curse for the Homesick by Laura Brooke Robson—an emotional and beautifully crafted fantasy that explores the trials, expectations, and hidden burdens of being a woman. At its heart, this story asks where love fits in when survival, identity, and societal pressures weigh heavy.With its rich worldbuilding and layered character dynamics, A Curse for the Homesick delivers both magic and meaning. If you love emotional fantasy that blends personal struggle with powerful themes of resilience and agency, this is a book you won't want to miss.✨ Follow for more YA and adult fantasy reviews, deep dives, and bookish conversations—only on Spotify.

When ambition meets authenticity, everything changes.In this episode, I'm joined by writer, former attorney, and media strategist Faye McCray for a conversation about career pivots, parenting, and finding yourself beyond the grind.

If you've been rethinking your career path, craving more balance, or just wanting to feel more like yourself in every space you occupy, this one's for you.In this episode we discussed:Your career path doesn't have to be linear to be successful.Connection and empathy are essential in both life and business.Parenting is a lesson in flexibility, patience, and introspection.Boundaries protect your energy and purpose.Authenticity is the new measure of success.Want more?

Leslie continues the Honorable Womanhood series by unpacking the question what makes women desperate? While it's tempting to look to a relationship to try to find our worth, once we understand the incredible value that God places upon us, we will not be desperate for a relationship because our security will be found in Him. This episode offers Biblical keys to finding our identity in Christ, whether married or single, and helps us gain a healthy mindset toward romantic relationships by laying a foundation of confidence in Christ.For more free resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

In a culture filled with confusion about gender roles, understanding God's design for womanhood offers clarity and purpose. Biblical womanhood encompasses three key aspects: being a helper (a position of strength, not weakness), a partner (created for relationship and equality in value), and a life-giver (bringing vitality to every environment). Women possess the remarkable ability to elevate those around them through their support, wisdom, and life-giving presence. Rather than feeling restricted by God's design, women who embrace biblical womanhood often discover greater joy and fulfillment than those who reject it.

Leslie continues the Honorable Womanhood series by tackling the issue of counterfeit purity vs. Biblical purity. While many versions of “purity” are promoted within the Church, the reality is that a true commitment to purity can only flow out of a heart that longs to love, honor, and glorify Jesus Christ above all else. As Leslie shares in this episode, when purity is merely a philosophy or concept, we can be easily talked or tempted out of it. But when purity is an outflow of our own passionate devotion to Jesus Christ, it's a commitment that won't easily crumble.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

What Does Femininity Look Like in the Orthodox Church?In a culture that often misunderstands tradition, Orthodox Christianity may seem, at first glance, like a “Christian fraternity” — rigid, exclusive, or overly male-centered. But as Ben and Ashley Langlois (popularly known as Orthodox Luigi and his wife) reveal in this heartfelt conversation, nothing could be further from the truth.Orthodoxy offers women a deeply rooted spiritual home—one that honors the unique dignity, strength, and calling of femininity in ways that may feel unfamiliar to many raised in Western expressions of Christianity.For many women, the journey into the Orthodox Church begins with hesitation. Some arrive simply to support a spouse or out of spiritual curiosity, only to find themselves quietly wondering, “What did I just get myself into?” But what often begins in uncertainty becomes a path to profound spiritual fulfillment. In Orthodoxy, they discover a Church that doesn't conform to modern trends, but instead reaches deep into the soul with its ancient beauty, reverence, and rhythms of grace.Here, femininity is not erased or sidelined, but transfigured. It finds its voice in sacred service, quiet strength, and spiritual motherhood. Women in the Church lead choirs, bake the communion bread (prosphora), create feasts for the saints, and nurture the life of the parish. Even practices that may seem strange at first—like veiling—take on new meaning. As one convert put it, “We cover what is holy and what is of value.”This transformation doesn't happen overnight. To embrace Orthodoxy often means learning to see the world through new eyes—to “think Orthodox.” Dr. Jeannie Constantinou's book Thinking Orthodox has become a trusted guide for many women making this transition, helping them understand the Orthodox “phronema” (mindset) and begin to live it out.And this faith isn't just personal—it's communal. Orthodox parishes are vibrant with shared life, centered not around programs or performances, but the Eucharist. After services, parishioners gather for meals that often stretch for hours. In those long conversations over food, true Christian fellowship takes root.Whether you're simply curious about Orthodoxy or wondering how to talk with your spouse about your growing interest in the ancient faith, this conversation between Ben and Ashley will meet you with honesty, encouragement, and hope.Join us as we explore what it means to be a woman of faith in the Orthodox Church—and how the ancient path still leads us home today.

Entrepreneur, coach, and Amazon bestselling author, Kat Sterling, sets the stage by asking the questions that most people avoid: "Why am I not where I want to be in life? Or, Why am I not winning?" Kat reveals that these questions are reflections born out of self-assessment and hard life lessons. Constantly surrounded by success, Kat felt that despite her corporate efforts and personal achievements, she was falling behind in life. For her, the most significant shift came from being terminated from her corporate gig. It's an event that most would view as a catastrophic setback, yet Kat transformed it into her launchpad for entrepreneurship. Her motto has since become, “Feel the fear. Jump first, jump head-first!”

Susan B Anthony was in her seventies by the time the bicycle was widely available to women, but she admired it all the same and said “a girl never looks so independent, so much as if she felt as good as a boy, as on her wheel." She was, in Susan's words, “the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood.” Anthony meant that quite literally because until the 1890s, most women did not have the freedom to go beyond walking distance of their own homes. The bicycle changed everything. Visit the website (herhalfofhistory.com) for sources, transcripts, and pictures. This show survives on the support of listeners like you.

Leslie launches a new series this week, Honorable Womanhood. In this episode, she shares the critical ingredient to a romance that only grows more beautiful with time - putting Jesus above all else. When we look to an earthly relationship to meet needs that only Jesus can meet, we put unrealistic pressure on another person, which can lead to heartbreaking decisions in singleness and frustrated marriages. This message is all about finding our soul-level fulfillment in Christ, which allows us to approach romance and relationships with a selfless and surrendered heart and sets us up for lasting success both in singleness and marriage.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

Have you ever sat down to “relax” only to realize your jaw is clenched, your mind is racing, and your body is still bracing for impact? What if the real reason you can't rest… is because stress has become your comfort zone?In this episode, we sit down with Tracie Braylock- nurse, wellness educator, and author of Radical Relaxation—to explore why stillness feels so foreign and how we can rewire our nervous systems to embrace it.We unpack:How chronic stress becomes part of our identityWhat it means to practice relaxation like a muscleFaith, healing, and the burdens we were never meant to carryPractical rest rituals (that don't require a plane ticket or a perfect day)

We're still on our Summer Break during this hot and beautiful month of July. But don't fret, we're dropping episodes every Tuesday that we're gone! Today's episode comes from Gender War Games, the podcast from Cristen Conger and Unladylike Media. Hannah and Marcelle were joined by Cristen on Material Girls for an episode about Avril Lavigne's Clone “Melissa” and social surveillance. But today's drop-in is from Cristen's show Gender War Games. In the episode, Hannah, Marcelle and Cristen talk about how white womanhood is activated—politically, culturally, algorithmically—to reinforce systems of power. From tradwife aesthetics to terf rhetoric, strategic essentialism to state violence, they aim to makes sense of how white femininity gets mobilized. Cristen is brilliant and we think you'll absolutely love this episode and her work if you aren't already familiar with it. Enjoy!We'll be back next week with another drop-in episode.

In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we're joined by Christine Reed—an American long-distance backpacker and award-winning author—whose life changed when she took her first steps on the Appalachian Trail in 2015. With no prior backpacking experience, Christine dove headfirst into the unknown, seeking healing, purpose, and a sense of identity. Since then, Christine has hiked thousands of miles, lived out of a van, and carved a creative path through storytelling. Her debut memoir, Alone in Wonderland, captured her raw and powerful journey of self-discovery, while her latest anthology Blood Sweat Tears amplifies the voices of women+ on trail—sharing unfiltered stories about periods, pain, perseverance, and everything in between. We talk about grief, growth, writing through discomfort, and the courage it takes to follow your passions even when they feel far outside your comfort zone. Christine's story reminds us that you don't have to be outdoorsy, athletic, or fearless to start—you just have to begin. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

In this raw and resonant conversation, host Deborah Moffatt of The Healing Version sits down with licensed clinical social worker and founder of Restority Space, Fanny Tristan, to unpack the complex intersection of trauma, womanhood, and singlehood for Black and Brown women. Fanny shares her journey into social work and how her personal experiences as an eldest daughter shaped her trauma-informed approach. She highlights the unique emotional challenges that firstborn daughters face—especially perfectionism, anxiety, and depression—and how these intersect with systemic pressures around relationships, marriage, and motherhood. Together, Deborah and Fanny dive deep into the colonized mindsets around love, self-worth, and gender roles. Fanny explains how women often internalize shame or a sense of being "behind" when single in their 30s or 40s, and why therapy shouldn't always be about diagnosing but about creating supportive, holistic environments where women can thrive. Fanny also discusses how her platform, Her Soul Supply, offers live masterclasses, retreats (like her recent one in Oaxaca, Mexico), and group coaching for single Black and Brown women to heal, explore their identity, and form intentional sisterhood. This episode is a rich, unfiltered reminder that: You don't have to be chosen to be worthy. Softness requires safety. Sisterhood heals. Healing is political.
