  • Has Self-Care Become the New Impossible Beauty Standard?
    Dec 14 2025

    Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you!

    Welcome to episode 15, season 4 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In this week's episode we discuss self-care...but maybe not in the way that you would think.

    Self-care has become an unquestioned mandate for women. In some ways, of course it is an improvement over the impossible beauty standards of yesteryear (which were solely externally focused), but in other ways, it has become an extension of them, requiring yet another unattainable level of perfection. There is always more that we could be doing for our wellness, ladies!! Not only can this prevent us from leading big, juicy, and joyful lives (a most natural form of self-care!), it also traps us into constantly focusing on fixing and improving ourselves rather than using our energy to change the culture at large.

  • The Power of One Word to Shape a Year
    Dec 9 2025

    Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you!

    Welcome to episode 14, season 4 of the Woman Uncaged podcast!

    In this episode of the Woman Uncaged Podcast, we dive into one of our favorite end-of-year rituals: choosing a Word of the Year. As we record in December, we’re both deep in reflection mode, looking back at the words that have guided us in past seasons and feeling into what might want to shape the year ahead. We share how this practice first came into our lives, how it has evolved, and why we now approach certain words with a bit more side-eye than we used to.

    We talk about the difference between choosing an intention versus a goal, how a single word can act as a lens through which life reveals unexpected wisdom, and how sometimes that wisdom arrives with a biting sense of humor.

    We explore the emotional, spiritual, and deeply human terrain of naming what we want more of and what we’re ready to release. We also reflect on how this practice helps us notice our own pendulum swings between extremes, how it reveals the quiet places we still seek external validation, and how it invites us to care for ourselves, our bodies, and our lives in more intentional ways.

    And of course, we’d love to hear from you: Do you choose a Word of the Year? What has it opened up for you? Join us for this thoughtful, funny, honest conversation as we welcome the turning of the year together.

  • Power Denied is Power Projected
    Nov 29 2025

    Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you!

    Welcome to episode 13, season 4 of the Woman Uncaged podcast!

    When we deny our own power, we project it outward...onto our spouses, other people, and even institutions. In this episode, we share how we see this phenomenon in ourselves, our clients, and the world at large, providing real world examples to illuminate a dynamic that often goes unseen and unspoken. We begin to untangle how power, agency, and responsibility relate to one another, and how anger can make us feel powerful, but doesn't necessarily mean we are in our power. We also explore how our relationship with power relates to our relationship with money, and how the old models just don't work for many women.
