Creating Authentic Belonging with the Passionista's project with Amy & Nancy Harrington

In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, I sit down with Amy and Nancy Harrington, the dynamic sister duo behind The Passionistas Project. We dive into their journey from careers in entertainment to creating a global movement centered on sisterhood, inclusion, and empowerment. Critical conversations in a time where inclusion is on the chopping block threatening so many of our safe spaces. The Harringtons share how their close-knit bond became the foundation for building an intentional community where women—especially those from marginalized backgrounds—can connect, grow, and feel heard. From their early days of celebrity interviews to launching a subscription box, a podcast, and a thriving online sisterhood, they’ve remained committed to amplifying the voices of women making an impact. Together, we explore topics like breaking generational cycles, finding authentic connections, and creating spaces where vulnerability and support are celebrated. Get ready to laugh, cry, and feel deeply inspired by their incredible story and the movement they’re building.Join us and discover the power of sisterhood, and learn about the community that I dove into during the first week of the new administration, as I felt past traumas come to light, and desperately needed a place to go where I would feel safe. Let this podcast be a beacon to help you find us and the opportunities and space that the sisters have created. CONNECT WITH ME MORE AT:http://www.stopshoulding.mehttps://www.instagram.com/minessa.konecky/ 🎵 Thank you to Karacter for allowing me to use Telepathy (2005) in my intro.
