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

Welcome to episode 16 of season 2 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! This week's episode was inspired by Linda's little "outburst" last week during a group gathering.

We dive into:
- Why Linda and Laura were both proud of Linda for having the outburst in the first place!
- The gift and the peril of seeing underneath bad behavior
- How being nice is often baked into the job functions that women hold in society and the cost to their own wellbeing, as articulated by Arlie Russell Hochschild
- How people who take advantage will test you to see if you're willing to step up for yourself
- Laura's date where she was completely comfortable with her boundaries
- Our societal expectations that women are just going to "take it"
- The beneficial role of anger
- Laura's story of chasing a man down the street while barefoot!
- Linda's obsession with the goddess Artemis
- What happens when curiosity and compassion are not reciprocal in relationships
- A trend of women getting texts from men about wanting "post-election distraction"

Welcome to episode 15, Season 2 of the Woman Uncaged Podcast.
We weren't sure we were up to recording an episode this week after the devastating news that we're facing another 4 years (more if he has his way) of Trump's attempt at tyranny. But we decided to go ahead and talk about how this is impacting us, and how angry we are at the idiotic misogynists who are gloating that "there will never be a woman president" and saying "your body, my choice."
Be warned, our language reflects our outrage. Listen with headphones if you have little ones around.
We mention this horrible, infuriating video: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DCDgEizuFmH/?igsh=Yjl1Mzllam04d2Jq
And this Jimmy Kimmel video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JxELubSgJg&t=26s (the monologue Laura referenced starts at 1 min. 39 secs)

Welcome to Episode 14 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In this week's episode, we address the elephant in the room: the election happening in the U.S. on Tuesday. While we intended to focus on ways to care for ourselves and one another during challenging times, we also needed a space to rant and rave about how the cages appear to be strengthening and multiplying rather than dismantling.
We dive into...
- How many of us are struggling during this time and how the heck are we supposed to get through the next few days
- Why obsessively following the news isn't helping
- How we are seeing stress and anxiety with our clients
- How the United States can be an indicator of where tides are turning world wide
- Odessa, Texas' transgender bathroom bounty law
- Why this election is deeply personal
- The importance of figuring out ways to move forward and how that requires us to stay resourced
- How having a safe space to cry or rage is vital, as is claiming our joy
- The importance of sisterhood and relationship
- How misogyny is the undercurrent of many of our conversations on reproductive rights
- How the reality of abortion differs from the stories that are told
- Why the standard idea of caring for ourselves isn't enough; we need to care for and with one another
- The importance of getting in touch with your anger
Correction:
Linda misspoke. The party in Sweden she was referring to is actually called the Sweden Democrats.

Welcome to Woman Uncaged, Episode 11 of Season 2! Today we're talking about dreams, of the nocturnal variety.
We talk about cultivating a relationship with our dreams, our recurring dreams, and what our dreams mean in our waking lives.
Linda (aka the dream whisperer) shares how a dream and a Tarot card lead her to make a big life shift.
We share how our dreams shift over time, and why we find it important to write them down, while staying open to the magic and mystery they breathe into our lives as they help us to grow.
Linda describes how she proves to others in her dream that she is, in fact, dreaming.

Welcome to the Woman Uncaged Podcast Season 2, Episode 6!
Today we're talking about what makes for a well-lived life, which was inspired by the article "The Mondays We've Got Left" on We're all Getting Older, a substack Laura reads regularly, by Lou Blaser. You can read that article here: https://open.substack.com/pub/loublaser/p/how-many-mondays-left?r=blsi2&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web (Laura mistakenly referred to the source as "Oldster" which is another Substack she reads regularly.)
We refer to Jodi Wellman and her work. Her website is: https://fourthousandmondays.com/
We talk about:
-our own definitions of living wide and deep.
-Jodi's axes and where we fall
-what does it mean to be astonishingly alive and when have we felt that way?
-the role meaning making plays
-experiencing our lives fully
-the role of softness
-how we feel about the idea of counting our Mondays
-where does our feeling of vitality come from?
-the joy of recognizing glimmers

Welcome to episode 5, season 2 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! This week's episode was inspired by a song called Healing is Not My Purpose by Toni Jones (available via Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/track/3YjTY55wEzj5PJXexonZPj?si=7b28501a392c49a3 )
"The healing should be in service to living." - Laura
In this episode, we explore:
- How our addiction to self-improvement leaves so much joy and life on the table
- Why so many of us get stuck in healing and how it is perpetuated in our culture
- How healing can be a distraction. What is it a distraction from, and in what way?
- Why it's not enough to talk about what we are shifting, we actually have to embody and experience it
- How small talk and inane conversation can be meaningful and connecting
- Letting go of needing everything to be a growth experience
- Why labels, personality tests, astrology etc. can be terribly constraining of our human experience
- The distraction of "why"
- Making friends with the continually unfolding journey and how this relates to healing and holding our potential lightly

Welcome to episode 4 of season 2!
The pressure to choose one area of focus, or one passion, can have a paralyzing effect, and therefore, become part of the patriarchal cage. In this episode we talk about what it means to be multipassionate, and why it's important to embrace your multipassionate self.
We explore:
-Why is purpose almost always tied up with what we do for work?
-Why is "what do you do?" the predominate question we ask others when we meet them? (and how do you answer that if you're multipassionate)
-Linda's experimentation with being an unapologetic Renaissance woman.
-What makes something a business vs. a non-business income stream.
-How our inner good girl interferes in our getting our need met in barter relationships.
-The gentle idea of titration vs. constantly throwing ourselves in the deep end.
The book Laura references is The 4 Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss.

in the midst of being bombarded by patriarchal messages like "women shouldn't be allowed to get an education until they've had two babies" and if you're a single woman, you have "no direct stake in the future" of the US, how do we cultivate and maintain our own unwavering self-belief and self-worth?
That's what we dive into in Season 2, Episode 1.
We talk about:
The two types of goals and how we can use one of them to cultivate and strengthen our self-belief.
How we can create conditions in which it's more likely that we're going to arrive at our outcome goals.
Why doing is an important component of mindset work.
How perfectionism gets in the way of creating, and can block us, and how important it is to allow your creations to suck (especially at the beginning).
Linda's recent experimentation with water color painting, and her revelation about enjoying the process.
Ira Glass's video "The Gap." (Google it- it's awesome!)
How identity and self-belief are intertwined.
Bringing relationships from Zoom into the real world, and the challenge of meeting people in real life.
How the unrelenting criticism of women makes all of this harder, and what we see as the antidote.
The Simone Biles documentary on Netflix, and how smiling and laughing impacts performance.

Welcome to the 23rd episode of Woman Uncaged with Linda Katz and Laura Gates-Lupton
For kids, fun is a priority and their main motivator. So where does that go? Why, as adults, does fun have be slotted into "left over" time? Where did the freedom, that our younger selves thought we'd have as adults, go?
What is worth doing just for you? With no need for a particular outcome?
How does striving for a specific end goal strip our lives of fun?
How do we create fun in our adult lives? What are the conditions that allow for fun and spontaneity?
How do we re-envision adulthood?
Linda mentions Bill Plotkin's book Wild Mind: A Field Guide to the Human Psyche.
While we take a break between this season and the next, we invite you to join us in being flowful! Let's all make more space for fun and please let us know what you did with that space. We would truly love to hear. Email us at [email protected].
