Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you!

Welcome to the Woman Uncaged Podcast, Episode 17 of Season 2! In this episode we explore how to maintain our softness in the face of difficult times, and a reclaiming of our emotional range no matter what is happening.
We talk about:
-how suffering doesn't equate caring
-how we can feel more than one emotion at a time
-how we can't tell what a person is feeling based on their behavior
-how we need the rebel energy and that fire, but we don't want to stay there
-how important it is to have people who will see and hold the whole range of who we are
-how important it is not to belittle joy and pleasure
-how joy and love can remind us what we're standing for
-accepting things in other people that we will never understand
-conditional belonging
-how if we define ourselves by what we're against, when we take that thing away, we no longer know who we are
