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 perfect...
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, ...
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, a...
Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to Episode 12 of Season 4! In this episode, we unpack a truth we’ve both lived over and over again: real, lasting change is rarely quick, and the pressure to deliver (or receive) instant transformation can actually get in the way of the deeper work. We talk about the myth of the “insight machine,” the belief that coaches must produce rapid breakthroughs to prove their value, and how clients often feel pressured to change fast because of the ...
Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to Episode 11 of Season 4! In this week's episode, we explore the sought-after idea of "singular focus" and how that applies in our lives, our work, and our activism in support of the causes that matter to us. Singular focus is often hailed as being valuable and necessary to doing deep work that has impact, but both of us have found this type of focus to be mostly elusive in our lives. Is that a problem to be solved? Does it mean that we are...
Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to Episode 10 of Season 4! In this Halloween episode of The Woman Uncaged Podcast, we explore the concept of liminal space: those in-between times when something has ended but the next chapter hasn’t yet revealed itself. Recording on Samhain, a time when the veil between worlds is said to be thin, feels especially fitting as we explore the emotional, spiritual, and practical dimensions of this “in-between.” We talk about how disorienting i...
Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to episode 9, season 4 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! Today, Laura and Linda explore the modern phenomenon of treating ourselves like a brand. What do we gain from it, and what do we stand to lose? In the age of online businesses and social media influencers, there is pressure to approach ourselves (especially if we are solopreneurs) as a brand and thereby turn our lives into content. But while brands require consistency, human beings thrive ...
Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to episode 8, season 4! In this episode of Woman Uncaged, we ask: what does it really mean to be wild? We bust the myth that wildness is about chaos or running barefoot through the woods—it’s actually something intrinsic, already alive inside us. With Linda, we explore how reclaiming our wildness connects us to power, boundaries, instinct, and the rhythms of the natural world. We talk about the shift from “good girl” or “rebel” to the ...
Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to episode 7, season 4 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! Today, Laura and Linda dive into their quest for what feels new and fresh, with a healthy side of ranting about what has started to taste very stale. In this world that is constantly trying to sell us on a five-step program we don't need, vying for our attention (without offering any nourishment in return), and convincing us that convenience will somehow make our lives more juicy and...
Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to episode 6, season 4 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In this episode, we dive into the juicy, messy, and deeply human truth of what it means to remember our creatureliness. We’ve noticed how often our culture talks about bodies like they’re machines—systems that should function the same every day, optimized, predictable, “high vibe” on demand. But we are not coffee grinders or computers. We are animals. We are creatures. And forgetting...
Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to the Woman Uncaged Podcast, Season 4, Episode 5! In this episode, we dive into a question that so many of us wrestle with but rarely have clear models for: what does a healthy relationship actually look like? We talk about why so many of the examples we’ve grown up with, including songs, movies, even our own families, often normalize codependence, drama, or self-sacrifice instead of grounded, reciprocal love. Together, we explore w...
Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to episode 4, season 4 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In today's episode we dive into how to move beyond the carrot and the stick in our relationships with ourselves, with how we raise children, how we train dogs, and how we relate to one another. We live in a paradigm that is dependent upon, and celebrates, punishment and reward as heathy ways to engineer the behavior we want, but what if there was another way? What if using the carrot...
Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to Season 4, Episode 3 of the Woman Uncaged Podcast! What happens when you realize that the life you’ve built—and even the relationships you’ve nurtured—don’t actually reflect who you are? In this conversation, we dive into how so many women begin silencing their true voices in adolescence just to belong, and how that survival strategy often follows us into adulthood. The result? Friendships that drain instead of nourish, partnerships wher...
Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to episode 2 of season 4 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In this episode Laura and Linda dive into uncaged cronehood, that developmental stage in a woman's life that occurs between midlife and elderhood. Often misunderstood, pathologized, or entirely ignored societally, we explore another possibility for this phase of life. What if it is an opportunity for women to uncage themselves more fully? To unhook from the collective culture so that we ...
Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! In this episode of Woman Uncaged, we explore the radical idea of a post-job world. Inspired by the rise of AI and automation, we unpack what it could mean—socially, economically, emotionally—to live in a world where traditional jobs are no longer the default. Rather than succumbing to fear or dystopian visions, we wonder aloud: what if this shift opened the door to more creativity, rest, equity, and community? What if universal basic income or healt...
Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to the Woman Uncaged Podcast Season 3, Episode 17! In this episode, we ask a bold and rarely explored question: What would life be like if we lived in a matriarchy? We dive into what that word really means, beyond the idea of simply putting women in charge, and explore the deeper values it might center: interdependence, collaboration, reciprocity, and community. We imagine what could be possible if we stepped away from the extractive, isol...
Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to the Woman Uncaged Podcast Season 3, Episode 16! For those of us in heterosexual relationships, it can be very easy to get into the habit of mothering our men. It's not only socially acceptable, it's applauded! In this episode of Woman Uncaged, we explore how the mothering energy can be misplaced in our romantic relationships, what distinguishes mothering from simply caring, and what we lose out on as women as a result. We dive into over-f...
Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to the Woman Uncaged Podcast Season 3, Episode 15! We’ve all reached for something shiny—on a shelf, in a cart, online—hoping it might soothe a deeper ache. In this episode of Woman Uncaged, we explore the emotional undercurrents of consumer culture: the difference between needs and wants, the myth of retail therapy, and why we keep trying to fill inner emptiness with outer stuff. We talk about the culture of discard, the fear of feel...
Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to episode 14 of season 3 of the Woman Uncaged Podcast! Today's episode was inspired by Tamara of Museguided's recent substack on erotic decisions (found here: https://museguided.substack.com/p/erotic-decisions). In this episode, we explore: - How we define the erotic - How choosing desire over duty is an erotic decision - The role of feeling in the erotic - Laura's recent year of following her intuitive, felt sense of know...
