Welcome to episode 2, season 5 of the woman Uncaged Podcast! In this week's episode, Laura and Linda explore the patriarchal system from a new angle, wondering aloud what might reveal itself if we look at men as the main objects of subjugation rather than women.

Inspired by a recent podcast episode of The Tea with Jameela Jamil, we investigate this idea to see if it holds water. We talk about how young men are those most often sent off to die in wars or that frequently hold the most dangerous jobs, and how this has been branded and sold to them as a medal of manhood to be sought after. But who really profits from this system? And if men are indeed the main targets of patriarchy, how might this shift or expand our approach to dismantling this harmful system?

We highly recommend pairing this week's episode with Myriam Francois' interview with Jameela Jamil on The Tea: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3te00qCIZAE6vCrWIKsCO5?si=iNgRU0gBToG1q7IkqYJZOw

Welcome to the 5th season of Woman Uncaged! In episode one, we dive into the erasure of older women and why that loss matters for everyone. When women who know their minds disappear from view, men lose models for growth, relationships flatten, and a market built on insecurity thrives. We challenge the claim that women are naturally more conformist and look at how submission is enforced by systems (military, corporate, and cultural) that prize obedience. We also take a hard look at beauty standards and the cult of youth, asking the hard question: who are we doing this for? The answers expose how profit, patriarchy, and fear make us smaller. We share our thoughts on the antidotes that make us free.

Welcome to the 75th episode of Woman Uncaged, which is also our season four finale.

In this episode we’re naming something a lot of us can feel in our bones: the world is speeding up, getting more convenient, more automated and somehow less human. We're interrogating culture, power, convenience, efficiency, and what gets lost when humans outsource too much of our humanness.

What does it mean to stay radically human when the culture keeps training us to live like machines?

We talk about what AI can mimic and why that mimicry can be seductive (and a little creepy). We dig into what machines can’t actually do and we explore why shared experiences matter more than ever (movies in a crowded theater, concerts, dinner without phones, third spaces that aren’t work or home), and why meaning almost never comes from efficiency; even when efficiency is satisfying. If you’ve been noticing your nervous system getting jangly, your attention getting fragmented, or your life getting smaller and more screen-shaped, this episode is an invitation to exhale and to choose differently, because the hunger underneath all of this is simple and profound: we want to be seen, heard, and met by other real, imperfect, alive humans.

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 perfection. There is always more that we could be doing for our wellness, ladies!! Not only can this prevent us from leading big, juicy, and joyful lives (a most natural form of self-care!), it also traps us into constantly focusing on fixing and improving ourselves rather than using our energy to change the culture at large.

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, and why we now approach certain words with a bit more side-eye than we used to.

We talk about the difference between choosing an intention versus a goal, how a single word can act as a lens through which life reveals unexpected wisdom, and how sometimes that wisdom arrives with a biting sense of humor.

We explore the emotional, spiritual, and deeply human terrain of naming what we want more of and what we’re ready to release. We also reflect on how this practice helps us notice our own pendulum swings between extremes, how it reveals the quiet places we still seek external validation, and how it invites us to care for ourselves, our bodies, and our lives in more intentional ways.

And of course, we’d love to hear from you: Do you choose a Word of the Year? What has it opened up for you? Join us for this thoughtful, funny, honest conversation as we welcome the turning of the year together.

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, and how anger can make us feel powerful, but doesn't necessarily mean we are in our power. We also explore how our relationship with power relates to our relationship with money, and how the old models just don't work for many women.

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 investment they’ve made. Through stories from our own practices and lives, we explore why slow, embodied, integrated change is not only more sustainable, it’s more honest.

We also get real about the messy middle: the moments when things feel worse before they feel better, when grief rises, when old identities fall away, and when the growth you asked for doesn’t look anything like you expected. And we name the very human tendency to set rigid outer rules when what really needs tending is our inner landscape and self-trust.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “doing enough,” or worried that your progress is too slow, this conversation will help you exhale. Your unfolding doesn’t need to be fast to be real.

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 fickle and just can't choose? Or is the desire for simplicity, essentialism, discipline, and focus something that we have been trained to want by a system created by, and for, men?
