Breast Cancer, Intuition & Feminine Power: An Unpredictable Conversation on Matriarchy

This conversation felt timely in a way I can’t fully explain.

Lisa Malia and I reconnected after she commented on one of my “Becoming a Housewife” posts, about how I was viewing feminism wrong. And suddenly, what started as a cheeky exploration turned into something much deeper. We talked about feminine energy, matriarchy vs. patriarchy, trust in relationships, and what it actually looks like to redesign feminism instead of abandoning it.

We also went somewhere more personal than I expected, into her breast cancer journey, dense breast tissue, medical advocacy, and what it really means to trust your body when the system doesn’t fully trust you back.

Here’s what we unpacked:

• The difference between masculine energy and patriarchal systems (they are not the same)
  
• What matriarchal leadership actually looks like
  
• Why this cultural moment feels like a shift (hello, firehorse energy)
  
• How stress, suppression, and over-hustling can show up in women’s bodies
  
• The under-addressed experience of dense breast tissue
  
• Advocating for your health and choosing what gives you peace
  
• Trust inside relationships (and how my resistance to certain “roles” might actually be about broken trust)
  
• Community as medicine, especially in person, not just online
  
• What it means to live in your archetype (yes, I’m apparently still very much a midwife)
  
  

This is not a surface-level conversation. It’s layered. It’s vulnerable. It’s reflective. And it’s VERY timely in today’s volatile times. 

If you’re a high achieving woman navigating:

• A shift in identity
  
• Questions about feminine vs. masculine roles
  
• Health advocacy
  
• Or just a quiet nudge that something in you is changing
  
  

This episode will meet you there.
