Today there will be much talk of women in high places, power suits, high-heels, and history in the making. It’s monumental. It’s never been done before. The message of empowering women is good. But I believe women have always ruled the world. Creators and shapers of humanity long before politics. While I respect those climbing the rungs on the ladder of history, I hope my daughters remember that today nothing about womanhood has fundamentally changed. They have always had power to change the world. Our guest Tiffany Braithwaite taught this in a recent post on Facebook, Today she will take us further, helping us step into our divine role as women to be creators and shapers of humanity.Stay with us I believe you will be inspired. #peace, #joy, #faith, #family, #motherhood, #woman #christianity, #ComeuntoChrist, https://findingjoyandpeace.com/podcasts/Follow us on Facebook For inspiring quotes, and notices when other podcasts become available.https://www.facebook.com/findingjoyandpeacepodcastFor inspiring quotes, blog posts, and other podcasts subscribe at: findingjoyandpeace.com Support the show (https://findingjoyandpeace.com/)

Self-care is about tuning into your body and fulfilling ALL of your needs. Not just mentally, physically, and emotionally, but sexually as well. The surrounding stigma makes this subject "taboo," leading women to be embarrassed to talk about it and scared to explore their own bodies. Masturbating is the best way to build a strong sexual relationship with yourself, and it improves your health, builds self-confidence, and it FEELS good!!Dr. Shelly Persad is a female sexual empowerment coach who's passionate about helping courageous women create a turned-on, abundant life by reconnecting to their vagina, retrieving their soul from sexual abuse and trauma, healing their mother wounds, and reclaiming their divine feminine power.Samia Burton is the founder of Sexual Essentials who's mission is to teach, encourage, and promote the sexual extensions of ourselves, which we think is a fantasy.

If you want to talk about decolonizing museums and other knowledge institutions in this world then you need to speak with those who preserve, produce, and pass on culture. In the fascinating and complex case of the Maasai and their engagement with museums in the UK, it is women who play an essential role in knowing about what an artifact is, how it is made, and why it is important. Despite this fact, in this growing global conversation, the voices we more often hear are male.

Each week, Kristen will interview women working in television, giving you a behind-the-scenes look into what it’s like making your favorite shows as well as advice for women trying to make it in the industry. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I am so excited to share this interview that I recorded with the one and only Liz Kimball. Liz is a creator, writer, director, speaker, and guide. Having spent over two decades as a dancer and actor, she performed all over the country, and received critical acclaim and multiple awards for her performances. Now she devotes herself to creating, writing, and directing women-centered stories of all kinds. She is the “Chief Enthusiasm Officer of Creator Goddess Warrior Queens and nonlinear ducks,” and she supports successful creatives and professionals in playing bigger and doing the work they were born to do. ​Liz is also the founder of The Collective for Women Creators, a sisterhood meets mastermind for WOMEN CREATORS ready to make next-level leaps, actualize their visions, and radically support other women in doing the same. It’s hard to summarize this interview about creativity, so just go ahead and listen to it. And then maybe listen to it again. Top Quotes & Takeaways from my interview with Liz Kimball: She grew up in a wonderfully creative home, so it was sort of inevitable that she’d become an artist Ballet was her first love but it came with some pretty intense negative aspects, especially around body image and eating disorders Liz loves acting for the immediacy and the thrill of opening up in front of an audience, but she came to feel like it wasn’t working for her as a career. She realized she was working incredibly hard to get something she didn’t actually want. She also sought the ability to have more control her over her own creative projects. Liz is super intense in her passions… she loves to go all-in. “I don’t know one person who’s going it alone, and that’s going well for them.” “A work of art is not complete unless it lands on something or someone.” “Angst is not a reason that you’re doing something wrong, but actually a sign that there’s a next step for you and you can just trust that the angst is leading you somewhere. ” “There’s a great deal of energy that goes into hiding parts of yourself.” Why it’s wonderful to have a multifaceted identity. Why the 10,000-hour focus on just ONE THING rule might not be the best thing for creative people. How to deal with the “tiny terrorist” in your mind. “Doubt doesn’t come up unless you’ve found something important that really matters.” “Just say yes to the impulse of right now and take it to its next place.” And so much more!
