In this episode, we look back at 2018 and what it was like deciding to do a podcast in the south, the emotional roller coaster that comes with putting yourself out there, and launching successfully to our community and the world. What a tremendous endeavor we have taken on! We reflect on the challenges of speaking so openly about our experiences and putting our voices out in the world for the first time. We talk about our launch party success and the amazing energy we felt from the men and women in our community that have either been doing women's work for several decades already, or that are feeling called to activism for the first time.

We discuss true sisterhood and the global, feminist connection. Do we have a responsibility to help women globally and not just ourselves? Of course our answer is a resounding "Absolutely! We can't actually separate ourselves from what's happening in the rest of the world. And the more conscious we become and the more we realize we are all connected, the more we realize we are all affected by what's going on on the other side of the planet" (Beautifully spoken by Amaya).

Our spiritual mothers get a shout out as we ask them to think about mentoring young women and women that are new to the feminist movement. We recognize that "having elders that we respect for their wisdom and for their support--we don't really get that in our culture" (Amaya).

We then look ahead at some of our upcoming podcast episodes and discuss the topics we are currently interested in exploring like motherhood, emotional intelligence & anger, and individual & collective trauma. We are going to be exploring new books along with these topics. We welcome your thoughts as well. What do you want to hear from us?
