À propos de ce contenu audio

 Dr. Betsy Rippentrop, a psychologist, and Kate Moreland, a lawyer and CEO, are having conversations about how women have been conditioned to lose connection to their inner voice and natural instincts, and how the time has come for us to re-wild. Both grew up as overachievers and perfectionists and took traditional career paths, following the rules society set for success. This required a loss of authenticity and a disconnection to their own wild essence. We explore questions and tools around how best to listen to our inner voice, re-wild ourselves, and live the most authentic life, where we thrive instead of survive.2022 - Dr. Betsy Rippentrop and Kate Moreland Hygiène et vie saine Sciences sociales Écritures et commentaires de voyage

      189. The Future of Feminism
      Feb 20 2026

      Kate and Betsy dive into the topic of feminism after an article came out in the New York Times in November 2025 entitled “Are women ruining the workplace?”. In this episode we seek to understand the real meaning of feminism, the different waves it has gone through, and what the wild woman archetype says about these times.

      In today’s Episode we discuss:

      • The fire that Kate felt after reading this article, and why we’ve gotten to a point where feminism has become a bad word.
      • The actual definition of feminism, and the history of the feminist movement through 4 different waves.
      • Wisdom from Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes in “Women Who Run with the Wolves” about feminism.

      188. Dr. Ren Stinson: Lotus, Liberation, and Expanding Masculinity
      Feb 13 2026
      In this deeply moving and thoughtful conversation, Dr. Ren shares the personal, cultural, and professional journey that shaped his life and work. Origins & Identity Ren begins by telling the story of his first ten years growing up in Japan and the powerful meaning behind his name. Ren, which means “Lotus,” was intentionally chosen by his mother — a decision so unusual at the time that she had to seek special permission to have it officially recognized. She even had his name added to an approved registry so he would not be treated as a foreigner. Years later, the name would rise to become one of the most popular in Japan. A Childhood Rooted in Activism & Spirituality Ren reflects on the profound influence of his mother — a self-described “wild woman” and feminine activist — and a family culture steeped in both social justice and spirituality. As a child, he participated in nuclear peace marches and was even featured in the news as a baby alongside Buddhist monks. Raised in a bi-racial family in the Bay Area, Ren navigated a unique spiritual landscape: · A father who was a Christian minister · A mother who practiced Buddhism · Exposure to Japan’s polytheistic cultural traditions His parents fostered an environment of freedom, creativity, and deep acceptance. Masculinity, Culture, and Formation Ren shares how hockey culture played a significant role in shaping his early understanding of masculinity — including its strengths, pressures, and emotional limitations. These experiences ultimately led him to pursue psychology, where his multicultural upbringing and feminist influences deeply inform his clinical perspective. Understanding Men: Shame, Anger, and Social Expectations Ren discusses his work in homeless shelters, his research on masculinity and economics, and how systemic pressures shape men’s emotional lives. He explains: · Why anger is often more socially acceptable for men than shame · How economic expectations and social norms intensify male distress · The hidden emotional costs of trying to live up to an impossible masculine image Changing Rape Culture & Supporting Men’s Healing As the first male staff member at a women’s resource center, Ren facilitated men’s groups focused on sexual assault prevention and accountability. He shares insights about: · How patriarchal systems harm men as well as women · The “man box” exercise he uses to help men examine rigid gender expectations · How younger generations are showing greater emotional openness Expanding Masculinity (Not Redefining It) Rather than replacing masculinity, Ren advocates for expanding it — pushing the edges outward so men can live more fully and authentically. He speaks about: · The importance of permission-giving among men · Modeling vulnerability and emotional honesty · Supporting men to step outside restrictive norms The Role of Feminist Psychotherapy Ren highlights how feminist therapy frameworks help men develop self-compassion by understanding systemic influences rather than internalizing blame. This is especially vital for men who have experienced trauma or violence. Harnessing Justified Anger for Change A powerful theme of the episode is how justified anger can become a force for healing and social transformation when channeled constructively. Hope for the Future Ren closes by sharing what keeps him hopeful: his direct connection to people’s real lives and stories. He reminds us that healing — individually and collectively — requires a return to genuine human connection and conversation.

      187. Love and Solidarity: Stories from Minneapolis
      Feb 6 2026
      Season 4 of Tend Her Wild opens with a refusal to play small. In this episode, we bear witness to what is unfolding in Minneapolis—and across our country—through the lens of the Wild Woman archetype. This conversation is about courage in real time, love under pressure, and what it looks like when women choose presence over paralysis. We ask the question Clarissa Pinkola Estés reminds us of how a culture heals, and we explore what happens when a community becomes “a family within a family,” tending one another through fear, grief, and fierce love. This episode holds pain and power, heartbreak and humanity, and a deep reminder that the wild woman rises precisely in times like these. What the Wild Woman Is Teaching Us Right Now What it means to not play small in moments of cultural ruptureHow the wild woman archetype shows up as truth-telling, action, and solidarityWhy these times are calling women to step forward—even when scared Guest 1: A Minnesota Neighbor & Artist — Bearing Witness Through Action Our first guest is a local neighbor and artist from Minnesota who shares what it is like to live inside the unfolding events in Minneapolis. She reminds us that this is not the time to be quiet, even when fear is present—and that fear is not a reason to disengage. Key reflections from her story: The unique strength and resilience of MinnesotansThe truth that we are all immigrants—and how civil liberties are being threatenedWhat it means to live where you cannot step outside without witnessing historyHow COVID quietly prepared communities by strengthening relationshipsNeighbors delivering food, showing up, and caring for one anotherUsing personal gifts—art, presence, nourishment—as acts of resistanceThe power of art as a kind of spell cast outward, carrying love and truth She speaks honestly about the emotional roller coaster of these days, while holding faith that this community is modeling something vital for the rest of the country. Guest 2: An Immigrant’s Perspective from Downtown Minneapolis Our second guest is an immigrant who has lived in the United States for nearly 30 years and currently resides in downtown Minneapolis. She shares the disorientation of desolate streets, the fear of leaving home, and the haunting familiarity of carrying papers—echoing memories of wartime survival. Her reflections include: Living with heightened vigilance and fearRecognizing that acts of oppression often stem from fearHow community connection becomes harder when people are afraid to be seenThe grief of reliving the pastWhy generosity cannot be taught—but must be practiced“Stay safe” becoming the new greeting She reminds us that anything rooted in fear, greed, or selfishness cannot last—and that when justice is destroyed, it will be reborn. We hold deep gratitude for these two women who chose to bear witness, sharing their stories with honesty and heart. They embody both courage and pain, reminding us that the wild woman does not numb—she stays present, rooted in love, and committed to life.
