You can ignore your creativity for a while. But your body can't. This episode is about creative reclamation — and trusting both the whisper and the reckoning. In this episode of Female Frequency, I sit down with monumental sculptor Amy Senn to explore what happens when you stop forcing your path — and start listening. When we travel, autopilot falls away. Old roles dissolve. New ways of seeing begin. That disruption is what Amy needed. A pivotal trip became the turning point in her reclamation. It wasn't about ambition. It wasn't about scaling. It was about alignment — remembering who she was beneath the roles she had outgrown. That decision changed everything. Today, her towering 9–16 foot sculptures bridge place, prayer, and embodied feminine power: • Ma — Elizaville, NY • Minerva — installed since 2017 at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors • Lilith — born in the forest during a profound awakening And here's the distinction that makes this episode powerful: Amy stopped trying to manifest. She started listening. In this conversation, we explore: • Creative turning points that require courage • Divine feminine archetypes and blindspots • Trusting the whisper and tantrums For artists: imagine creating from that frequency. For collectors: imagine living with work born from that depth. If you've been pushing, overworking, or second-guessing your next move — this episode will help you recalibrate.

What does it mean to mend what's been torn—across landscapes, ecosystems, and public trust?Sara Everett joins me to talk contracts, climate grief, and the healing power of art as resistance. In this episode, I talk with Sara Everett—art consultant to real estate developers and printmaker—about her series Mending Measures, shaped by climate grief and policy shifts. We dive into her creative process, cyanotypes, her beloved sewing machine "Joy," the emotive frequency of color, and she shares her knowledge so artists can confidently advocate for themselves in public art projects and contracts. So nice! 🐦 Sara and I have teamed up for The Public Art Playbook: Top 10 Power Moves to Win Commissions, Negotiate Contracts, and Stop Working for Free.

The gloves Judy Chicago gave me… This episode takes you behind the scenes into my personal art collection—starting with a pair of gloves given to me by feminist icon Judy Chicago while helping her install Be No More at SF MoMA. It wasn't just a task—it was a turning point. I share what that moment taught me about trust, legacy, and creative leadership. As we hit the halfway mark in the year, I invite you to reflect on the people and moments that helped shape you. I also share stories from other artists and spiritual seekers who've passed the torch in their own way—and how honoring them can fuel your next evolution Let's do this together. Honor what formed you. Release no longer helps you.

Through lived experience, scientific inquiry, and mystical devotion, Georgieff explores the Black Madonna not only as a spiritual icon, but as an art form that offers profound healing insights into our collective past and present. She takes us on a deep dive into the Baroque Black Madonna of Einsiedeln, revered in Switzerland as "Our Lady of the Hermits." Plus, you'll get an exclusive preview about her upcoming book!

If your creativity has been feeling a little blocked lately… it might be time to let the goddess Baubo have a word—and a laugh. I love learning from all my guests, but this one? So fun, so wise, and so liberating. What if your vulva knows your truth? What would that truth sound like? What would it look like? That's exactly what my next guest asked me. Maria Souza—Comparative Mythologist, poet, educator, and founder of Women and Mythology—joins the Female Frequency Podcast to show how myths are more than stories. They're maps and mirrors, guiding us back to the wild, wise, intuitive body. In this episode, Maria brings to life Baubo—a nearly-erased goddess of laughter, healing, and holy body-truth. Through the myth of Baubo and Demeter, we dive into the sacred power of laughter as medicine, the symbolism of breasts as creative portals, and the deep body wisdom we've been conditioned to ignore. If your boobs have ever stressed you out, this episode is absolutely for you. Maria shares: The power of Baubo as a goddess of humor and embodied wisdom The emotional, creative, and alchemical symbolism of breasts Journal prompts: Why your vulva might be the wisest voice in the room—ask it!

Caledonia Curry, known as Swoon, is sparking profound change through the sacred tradition of storytelling. From her emotive portraits to championing women's visibility in the street art movement, to channeling the divine feminine in her Medea series, Swoon uses her art to challenge entrenched narratives and asks: "How can art fundamentally re-envision the communities we live in, toward a more just and equitable world?" Swoon and I get into a juicy convo about origins of her creative frequency, the seminal role of personal narrative, and how her journey led to the Medea series. She shares details about her signature woodblock technique, the evolving meaning of legacy in her practice, and dreams that continue to inform her work. Join us and hear how this artist — with work on walls across the world and in the permanent collections of MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum, and Tate Modern, and profiled by PBS American Masters — is reshaping public art, using instinct, felt senses (intuition), and inner visions dreams to fuel everything from iconic portraits to stop-motion films, immersive installations, and a commission for Alicia Keys. At its heart, this episode is about art as a tool for healing, communication, and cultural transformation. Whether you're an artist, storyteller, or changemaker, I hope you are able to show up for yourself, trust your intuition, embrace vulnerability, and center the stories that matter most. In this episode, we discuss: 🎨 The making of the Medea series and the personal mythologies woven within 🌍 The pivotal travels that reshaped her practice toward collective, community-led work ⚡ The Ediphone Series, a new body of work visualizing what sound looks like ✨ Creative Prompt: What feels alive in your project right now?

I couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic talking about gallery shows and leadership in the arts in this next great episode. Callie Jones—gallery owner, writer, and co-founder of COL Gallery in San Francisco—joins the Female Frequency Podcast, showing us what leadership in the art world looks like and why the future is female! Callie takes us behind the scenes of COL Gallery's latest show: an intimate retrospective, a journey through the evolution of Susan Weil. This rare exhibition offers a close look at Weil's creative process—cutting, crumpling, and refiguring—revealing a multiplicity of perspectives through the lens of abstraction, deeply informed by the female experience, and places her firmly within postwar art history. Hear the stories Weil lived through: studying in Paris in the late 1940s amid the echoes of modernism, then continuing her training at Black Mountain College, the legendary crucible of American art innovation. Now, after decades of being overlooked, her contributions—including early collaborative cyanotypes with Robert Rauschenberg—are finally being recognized, with works held at MoMA, The Met, and featured at the Venice Biennale and the V&A Museum. Stay to the end—Callie also shares insider advice for artists and collectors navigating today's evolving gallery world. Highlights we talk about: Susan Weil's experiential approach to art-making, always rooted in her female experience Weil's activism beyond gallery walls How traditional gallery models are changing—and how artists need to invest in themselves to sell art 💥 Did this episode sparked something in you?

What starts as a symbol becomes a signature. What begins as intuition becomes influence. In this episode, we're recording on location inside Through the Flower, the feminist art space founded by visionary icon Judy Chicago, to explore how one visual language—the butterfly form—sparked a global creative movement. The butterfly? It's a metaphor. It's a message. It's medicine. From her radical Atmosphere Series—where she asked, "How can I feminize the landscape?"—to her groundbreaking collaboration with Maria Grazia Chiuri at Dior with a 250 foot long goddess, Judy's work doesn't just blur the lines—it redraws them, making space for women to be both revered and recognized. 🔥 Episode Highlights: Behind-the-scenes stories from Judy's journal entries and creative rituals The Butterfly Effect: how Judy has made an impression on fashion, dance activism, and education. Why intuition is the most powerful creative currency we have today 💡 Once you see the butterfly, you can't unsee it. And once you understand the power of signature visual language, you start to see your own. Here's the truth: We're no longer in the "wait to be discovered" era—we're in the define yourself, brand it, and broadcast it era. And Judy Chicago? She was the blueprint.

Think the chevron pattern started with ancient Greeks ? Think again. In this episode, we go way back—Neolithic to Now—to explore the chevron as a sacred symbol of Divine Feminine, of bird energy, of intuitive communication that's been carried through generations of art, ritual, and meaning. This week's episode of Female Frequency is inspired by The Language of the Goddess by Maria Gimbutas (shoutout to my sister Kristin for pulling it from the library stack 🙌). We're diving deep into how a new wave of archaeologists, artists, and scholars like Max Dashu are reinterpreting ancient cultures through the lens of the female experience—centered in feminism, ecology, and social justice. Plus, we do a fun creative exercise to help you access the divine through pattern and intuition. Whether you're an artist, history lover, —this episode hits a frequency. #ChevronPattern #DivineFeminine #LanguageOfTheGoddess #NeolithicToNow #FeministArchaeology #SacredSymbols #CreativeFrequency #AncientWisdom #EcoFeminism #MatriarchalMagic #IntuitiveArt #ArchaeologyMeetsArt #PatternPower #ArtAndSpirit #MariaGimbutas #CulturalSymbolism #SpiritualCreatives #WomenInHistory #ArtPodcast #FemaleFrequency #MaxDashu #SuppressedHistory
What if history wasn't just something we study—but something we step into? Have you ever stepped into someone else's shoes—literally? That's what came to mind when I first saw Kate Clark's ceramic work. It wasn't just about material—it was about perspective. Her work sparked deeper questions about empathy, compassion, and the subjectivity of the female form in art and history. What happens when we look at the past through someone else's eyes instead of our own assumptions? In this episode of The Female Frequency Podcast, Kate takes us into her world where relics of the past meet contemporary storytelling. Her motto, "In dust we trust," honors what's been discarded and reconsidered. Whether reinterpreting the Venus of Willendorf or embedding forgotten objects into her Seattle Convention Center commission, Kate shows us that art is a time capsule, and artists are its keepers. We also dive into the business of being an artist—negotiating public art contracts, managing large projects, and navigating the post-pandemic art world. Kate's blend of creative vision, entrepreneurial strategy and storytelling is a blueprint for artists making art a career today. In this episode, we discuss: ✨ How Kate's public art redefines artifacts in storytelling. ✨ The challenges of landing and negotiating major public art commissions. ✨ The reality of running an art business—from materials to scaling projects.

Your creativity is the medicine the world needs right now. Art isn't just something we create—it's a force that transforms. This week on Female Frequency Podcast, I'm reflecting on Brené Brown's words: "Art has the power to render sorrow beautiful, make loneliness a shared experience, and transform despair into hope." We're exploring Art as Frequency—how color, content, and connection shape the energy of a piece and influence both the creator and the world around them. In honor of Women's History Month, we're diving into the energy of art—how it shifts the vibe, heals, and activates change, revealing its frequency at its core. When women use their creative voices, history is rewritten, and the future takes a new form. In this episode, I highlight Simone Leigh and Shilo Shiv Suleman, two artists using their creative power to reshape narratives and inspire movements. Tune in for inspiration, insight, and a fresh perspective on what it means to create with purpose.

Today on the Female Frequency Podcast, I am thrilled to welcome Heather Lunsford, a feminist curator navigating the intersection of art, activism, and community engagement in one of the most conservative states in America. You want Heather on your team—she's a curator who admits that most of the shows she curates might just get her fired! From her role as Director of Art in Public Places for Oklahoma to her current position as Director and Curator of the Nona Jean Hulsey Gallery at Oklahoma City University, Heather has taken on monumental challenges.

How do you transform a single moquette into a work of monumental significance? Today on Female Frequency Podcast, I am honored to welcome the incomparable Cappy Thompson, whose approach to being creative has forever altered the landscape of public art. With the largest single image glass painting on display in the United States, Cappy's work challenges the status quo, encouraging artists to not only think bigger and to ground their creative endeavors in content. "My work—which spans several decades and a variety of scales, from the intimate to the monumental—has always been driven by content," Cappy reflects. This philosophical and feminist approach to art-making is evident in her signature mythopoetic style, a blending of storytelling and symbolism. Whether in her monumental 33 x 90 feet installation at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport or her intricate 12 x 15 foot mural, Gathering the Light at the Museum of Glass, Cappy's work defines what it means to create art that resonates with a journey and connection. Her story is a roadmap for women artists seeking to secure large-scale commissions in a male-dominated field, cultivating meaningful relationships, and the magic of surrounding yourself with people who mention your name in a room full of opportunities. In this episode, we talk about: ✨ The roadmap behind monumental public commissions, including her iconic works at Sea-Tac Airport. 🤝 The significance of artist-to-artist relationships, including Barbara Earl Thomas, Dale Chihuly have shaped her career. 🎨 Cappy's autobiographical sensibility and innovative use of grisaille painting techniques and vitreous enamels to create intricate, mythopoetic narratives that push the boundaries of glass art.
