047: Inner Activism: Your Opportunity to Change the World with Katie Macks May 18, 2022

Show notes

True activism isn't simply taking this shit to the streets - it is taking it home, to ourselves.

This week, my colleague and sister in life, Katie Macks, is back for round two! There were just too many powerful, life-changing things to discuss for just one episode. So today, we're diving deep into the topic of inner activism - the idea of sourcing from within, how to tap into your deepest level of activism (hint: it's closer than you think), and the deep opportunities we have as women to impact & change the lives of others.

We're diving into:

Inner activism - getting to the essence of what it really means & why we are so passionate about it!
The birth of Katie's activism at a young age (and the role trauma played in it)
Opting out of toxic beauty culture & existing as naturally aging women
Our favorite tips for how to start engaging with your own body
Why Katie is inviting you to play with body glitter!
Getting triggered by other women - and a shift you can make around jealousy that will change the game
And more

046: Rediscovering Sexuality & Self-Love in Midlife with Vicki Larson May 11, 2022

Show notes

The desire for living comes from your pussy, from your soul.

It does not come from outside validation and beauty & sexual standards set by culture and society.

So, how can we set out to rediscover our sexuality and purpose in Midlife when the narrative we are sold is that our libidos are low and our beauty is dependent on chemical intervention? In today's episode, I invite Vicki Larson, longtime award winning journalist, columnist, and author, to have a conversation about aging, chasing the appearance of youth, and normalizing what it means to have sex well beyond Midlife.

We're diving into:

What led her on the journey to writing her book, "Not Too Old for That: How Women are Changing the Story of Aging"
Aging, the messaging we receive around it & viewing aging as an indicator of success
Beauty standards & the pressures to get cosmetic surgery
Vicki's rediscovery of her desire & passion (and younger men!) in Midlife
Partnerships and exploring consensual non-monogamy
And so much more juiciness!
