Womanhood

An Exploration Of Women & Nature With Claire Baker

Hello gorgeous lady, This is episode 16 with Claire Baker. This conversation is everything that I dreamt of when I imagined having conversations about our Womanhood. Over the years Claire and I have had many deep and beautiful chats – and what I know for certain is that there is something very special and unique about her. Claire has such an evident, and genuine care of our collective womanhood – and a way of deeply honouring women. I admire that about her so much. Many years ago Claire Baker started talking about periods on the internet. And in my opinion lead the way in revolutionizing how we live and thrive as menstruating women. Claire’s teaching and friendship has been beautifully instrumental in reacquainting me with my own menstrual cycle and what it truly means to live as a forever changing, always evolving cyclic woman. If as a collective we continue to look in all the places, we are told to fear as women – I know Claire will be there holding the torch and lovingly bringing our menstruation out into the light for our reclaiming – and for that I am so SO grateful. It is my absolute pleasure to welcome the exquisite, Claire Baker to Womanhood.

An Identity Crisis & My Life Offline

Hi beautiful lady, This is episode 15. A solo episode with Jody. I have resisted doing solo episodes since the podcast’s inception, even after many requests - but here we finally are. What I have mostly known of a solo podcast episode is usually laced in some kind of teaching. An opportunity for me share my expertise and while with the right person I too gobble that up – the thing is – I don’t see myself as an expect. And I have no desire to be. Nothing fizzles out my creativity more than giving you ten steps to anything. So, I am not a teacher. Or an expert on anything, in particular really. What I am is wise woman. A creative woman. A woman fully in her life. I see the world through my own unique lens, and I often fumble in finding ways to express all that dwells and excites within me. But alongside all of this - what I know I am – is a storyteller. I love using words to engulf you, transport you and allow you to immerse into an experience – one of my making – through my thoughts, and insights and stories. I love the way stories make you feel less alone. And the feeling of lingering on the edge of your seat as beautifully curated and posed words create worlds for another to momentarily exist within. Storytelling is my art form. It is the way - I teach. Through my lived experience, my humanness and the parts of me that run as deep as the ocean. So, to create a solo episode for you – it has to feel like art to me – different to what you may commonly know as a standard podcast. It is an opportunity, a moment to capture all that swells within me and to share it with you – poetically, thoughtfully, and perfectly curated in equal parts for you to feel, see and recognize yourself within my stories. During the interviews on this show, you get the wild and in the moment Jody. The raucous laughing, on the fly thoughts and a beautifully unscripted version of me and my guests. I do not plan the chats, prep the guests or aim for any particular outcome – it is simply magic that exists only that moment. But here in these solo episodes I am going to sit and take my time to share with you in a different way. I am going to curate the mundane and the exquisite moments of my life into stories. An expression for the tentacles of life to take form within. My hope is they will be beautiful, soothing, insightful and the perfect balm for your sweet soul. So, shall we begin?   A few weeks back now I took a trip to Melbourne. Alone. And this is the story of what I discovered.

The Feminine Mother With Claire Obeid

Hi beautiful woman, This is episode fourteen with Claire Obeid. Sharing this beautiful woman with you feels very special to me – in fact, I have had every intention of having Claire apart of the show right from the beginning – however, Claire is my personal mentor, my safe space to land, the woman who helps me navigate my big feelings, my cycles and seasons, my beliefs – my heart. She is a woman I have opened up too – wide, wide open. She has carried me with such grace and humility and perfect amount of sass over the past 12 months, she guides me to depths I wasn’t even sure I could go, she is real, honest and just really, really bloody likeable. After each session with Claire, I cannot help but send a message saying – how absolutely ridiculously lucky I feel to have her in my life. Now today, I feel ready to share her with you. Claire has such a potent and relevant and deeply embodiment voice when it comes to motherhood – and our role as women within in. She isn’t afraid of the shadows, in fact she relishes in them knowing it is necessary and required on a way to good stuff. This conversation is deep, spiritual and multi layered. And unlike any I have had here on the show. A sweet balm for mothers traversing the beautiful train of womanhood – along their children.   Claire Obeid is a Somatic Life Coach, Energy Medicine Practitioner and Emotional Freedom Alchemist.Claire is passionate about the journey of awakening and embodiment through body-centred energy medicine, consciousness practices, shadow work, cultivating emotional freedom, deep mind-body-soul healing and growth.Claire's playground is the subconscious mind, the soma (body), the breath, spirit, soul and the heart that resides within.She sees herself as a loving conduit and bridge for individuals to reach into and touch the very place within that needs attention and that is calling out for more.Just as a midwife holds space for and guides birthing women through one of the most powerful and soul-changing transitions, the dance Claire does within her private mentorship, group sessions and workshops is much the same. She is here to midwife your personal awakening; to hold space as a guide, illuminator, healer, cheerleader and sacred container,through your own mental, emotional, physical, energetic and spiritual growth. It is my absolute pleasure to welcome my beautiful friend Claire Obeid to Womanhood.

Finding Your Personal Power With Anna Richards

Hi my love, This is episode 13 with Anna Richards. Anna was the first beautiful woman I reached out to for this new season as I knew her voice and her fire were needed as we continue to broaden the conversation of Womanhood. To use Anna's words, she roars. She stands big and loud and passionately for women – and humanity for that matter. Her ability to advocate for the claiming of our power as woman has taught me so much over the past 12 months - as the world continues to shape shift, I continue to turn toward Anna for guidance and wisdom. Her political insight, ability to inspire liberated action and stand for her truth over and over again is truly something else. Being in Anna's online vortex has certainly created such a deeper conviction within me - in my understanding of my human rights, how to successfully advocate for what I truly stand for and believe in or simply kicking my butt out of bed to get moving each day. Anna is the kind of woman I look to with such admiration and deep gratitude for the way she chooses to remind women every single day of their power. Starting her first online business at the age of 18, an online dating platform for 18 to 30 year olds, Anna got her first taste of the entrepreneurial spirit which hasn’t left her since. Life then took a different turn when she got head hunted at age 21 into Federal Politics where she would spend the next 4 years of her life working for a Federal Member of Parliament, learning the in’s and out’s of the Australian Political landscape and the walls of our nations Federal Parliament house. Anna’s passion for business proved too strong and at the age of 25 she found the Network Marketing model and in 5 short years, Anna earned her first million dollars in Network Marketing. Anna is the host of her own podcast ‘Anything Goes’ and the creator of Self Love School where she teaches the principles of thinking, moving, speaking, earning, and self-caring like you love yourself. Today she lives on the Gold Coast living her boldest, most unapologetic life imaginable. It is my absolute pleasure to welcome Anna Richardson to Womanhood.

The Full Spectrum Woman with Meg O'Sullivan

Hi beautiful, This is episode eleven with Meg O’Sullivan. Meg would be best described as a woman beautifully willing to show you all of herself. A woman committed to allowing you to peak behind the curtain and the worn-out illusion of a women needing to appear to have it all together and instead you see this full, big and beautiful spectrum of her and her incredibly unique feminine nature. Meg is a real vibe. Her boldness and embodiment invite you into more pleasure, sexiness, messiness, realness and acceptance simply being in her presence. I admire Meg’s generous heart in sharing herself so intimately particularly through the lens of social media all in the name of our collective liberation as women. To me a reclamation of our womanhood feels synonymous with a claiming of our full spectrum – all the parts that make us up – all that make us whole. Today’s conversation is a beautiful opportunity and opening to feeling and being it all. Meg O'Sullivan.
