  • In this episode of Radically Alive Women, Joydah Mae Bernardo shares her journey as a mother, voice artist, and heart-led leader in a conversation with Julia Neumann.

    Joydah was born in the Philippines and raised in a village by her grandmother.

    The conversation covers her powerful presence in music, her story of moving to New Zealand at the age of 17, and the motivations that drive how she shows up in her life and with her music.

    Joydah shares about the deep connections between music, consciousness, and indigenous wisdom, and how these elements contribute to community building and personal healing. She also reflects on her experiences with cultural expectations, reclamation of her power, and her upbringing in a village with many mothers, as well as the shadows of village.

    The episode includes a guided humming exercise as a means of voice activation.

  • Jay Bennett, Leonhard Geupel and Martin Šalanda joined this conversation with Julia Neumann to share of their experience in creating the "Gaian Men's Bridgehouse" at the center of New Zealand's North Island in December 2024/January 2025.

    It is an unusual topic for "Radically Alive Women" to broadcast about Men's culture.

    We chose to do it anyway because we care about the radical aliveness of men just as much. As you will notice, it is truly heart-opening to witness how these men embody love through their shared experience, and we want this to be available to many more.

    We were particularly touched by men learning to relate with each other, to feel together, and to lean on each other, and the side effect of that for their relating with women: An adult relating becomes possible where the man doesn't need anything from women. He gets to share his feelings and emotions also with men, which frees him from "needing" emotional support from the women in his life. It becomes optional. Goodbye, codependent relationship!

    May many men be inspired by this conversation and by what becomes possible when men dare to dive deep together and become intimate and vulnerable with each other.

    Topics discussed:

    How building intimate connections with other men helps break cultural norms and personal barriers. Being a Yes to other men.Shifting out of the lone wolf strategy (protective layers of men).Learning to express emotions such as sadness, fear, and anger openly with one another, which could have been reserved for interactions with women. The fear of opening up to a man because of the potential harshness.Going on adventures, including nature quests. Collaborative efforts to create deeper bonds and emotional healing. Creating a haling field from impulses.Collective experiences that led to a significant shift in how they relate to themselves, each other, and the Earth. The importance of creating a purpose-driven environment that encourages vulnerability and authenticity among men.

  • Bishop Reid is a somatic based business coach and trauma informed breathwork & mindfulness certified facilitator, working worldwide.

    In this episode, she shares about reclaiming aliveness, transforming self-doubt, and redefining selfishness.

    Bishop speaks of her personal journey with reclaiming her inner fire, constantly going to the edge with her online business, and navigating the cycles of self-doubt and confusion.

    Bishop discusses the significance of somatic leadership, and the critical role of the nervous system and conscious fear in transforming self-doubt. She shares of her observation that self-doubt often transpires when we are coming to our own edge, the edge of our comfort zone.

    "Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast."

    Instead of freezing, over-analysing, overwhelm, or moving frantically, Bishop offers the possibility of slowing down while still moving. She emphasises the importance of presencing our bodies instead of going into "figuring it out", which can happen with rage work, breathwork, somatic techniques, and also by circulating fear in the nervous system.

    She explores the shadow side of women's experiences, including societal expectations and the importance of a new definition of selfishness in cultivating personal and professional growth.

    Bishop also generously offers a variety of practices, including possibilities for staying grounded, including rage work, breathwork, and the transformative power of creative mess-making. She advocates for collaboration and encourages women to support each other in their journeys of self-discovery and empowerment.

  • Margaret McCallum is a Soul Midwife and Death Doula.

    In this episode she shares the freedom and aliveness of Death becoming part of everyday life. She suggest that by opening to the challenges and nudges from life in the current moment and choosing to die the little deaths life becomes fuller & richer and the big death in the end can become an easeful space of surrender. In that place the inner knowing by the soul - when the time has come - can simply let go and life can complete itself. She invites anyone walking alongside the dying to acknowledge each individual's process by not making it any different for the individual yet to hold a space for the possibility of a different perpective and approach.

    In the end of the discours the space opens to the beauty and peace of silence; of finding silence from within through pauses in everyday life.

    Prior to this interview, Annika interviewed Margaret and the sound did not come out as clean. Here you can read the valuable transcript of this first interview:

  • This is an excerpt from a work-talk (some talking, some workshop elements) delivered by Julia Neumann in 2021. It explores the sovereign birth right of omen to tsan din their sovereignty, and the strategies women may employ to stay Princesses and avoid being in their power.

    The emphasis of this first part is on conscious joy as a resource to make a radical shift from waiting for "the prince on a white horse" to being a wild white horse oneself.

  • In this episode, Annika Korsten speaks with Anna Groves, a CNVC Nonviolent Communication Trainer and Somatic Practitioner based in Aotearoa New Zealand. Anna’s presence is captivating in its simplicity and humility, creating a space where the nervous system can relax and shift toward a more compassionate orientation toward oneself and life.

    While acknowledging the pain that exists in every human experience, including her own, Anna illuminates a path where life can be full of love and adventure—living from what truly matters, not out of obligation, but from a genuine desire to do so. She creates a space of liberation, allowing for being with what is present in the body, while simultaneously observing the tendencies to critique, analyse, amplify, or minimise those sensations.

    Anna emphasises the importance of connection - both to others and to a community - in interrupting addictive patterns and behaviors. For her, sobriety has been a key practice in developing her ability to remain fully present.

    What if healing wasn’t just an abstract concept, but a lived experience? What if all the colors and emotions of being human were fully embraced, each finding a place of compassion within us?

  • James Samuel is the originator of Growing Radicles, a project to explore syntropic food and social systems, welcoming density and diversity in ecosystems and human systems.

    In this episode, James shares about his passion for Regeneration and our human role as stewards for nature, being part of nature, in radical collaboration across humans of all genders. He also shares about his process of growing the capacity of holding space for the Women in his life, especially his now 18-year-old daughter and his partner.

    James speaks vulnerably about his journey of becoming a father and the shifts he perceived necessary, as well as living with Women-only in a living experiment called the "HAVEN" (Holding Attention 4 Vulnerable Evolution Now).

    His realisation of "belonging" are as profound as his observation of how the Love of a Woman with utter reverence to his survival mechanisms, without trying to change them yet standing clearly beside him, changed his life.

    This conversation is an invitation of radical aliveness and for thriving.

  • Claire Eccleston is a midwife of life. Amongst many hats she wears, she is a mother and a grandmother and takes a radical stand in the birth space. She advocates the reverence for a Woman's body and bringing back the knowledge and wisdom through its inherent physiology.

    In this conversation with Annika Korsten, she takes a leap into where birth stands today in many Western cultures, including aiming to control birth, the use of technology and machinery, and the link with a disconnect from the land. The ancient art of birth work, on the other hand, stresses the importance of touch, senses and "Being with" as opposed to "doing to". Whilst the Western approach aims to create a space of safety, ancient birth work relies on the safety of the physiology of the birthgiver.

    Claire is not biased in her approach to birth, neither does she give preference to the way it plays out. She promotes Women's capacities to respond to birth (as opposed to controlling it) and to be empowered to have choice on their pathway. Claire emphasise this sense of self-response-ability that goes beyond giving birth. As such, this episode could be of interest for anyone curious about the ability to respond from the self, including especially bodily sensations of clear Yes and No.

    Claire practices predominantly in Aotearoa, New Zealand, and travels every year to spread her tools and wisdom internationally especially via "Spinning Babies", a unique approach to birth which aims to revitalize the intelligence of the physiology of the birthgiver and baby before medical intervention.

  • Oonagh Browne is the Founder of The Cacao Ambassador. Her true service is for Humans to remember the greatness of who we are.

    Having read this, you may already sense how this episode is a massive invitation to come home to yourself and into the Greatness of who you are.

    In this conversation with Julia Neumann, Oonagh shares of her extraordinay life path from Ireland to New Zealand, from the corporate world into her true calling. She speaks about unplugging from the linear life plan, doing radical shifts, unlearning the patriarchal rulebooks, and embarking on the quest of "who am I, who is humanity, why are we here?"

    She shares vulnerably and authentically about encountering her shadows, about depression, and how Cacao helped her take the first step out of that darkness into reclaiming her light. From her felt experience, Oonagh claims her indigenous spirituality, as she stands in the lineage of her Celtic, Druidic, indigenous ancestors.

    This is one of those episodes that you will be able to listen to over again and discover more wisdom each time, such as on:

    How everything that happens to us in life has a jewel to be harnessed that can be turned into magnificence Facing into the shadows Coming out of depression Getting back into the body, amongst other things through the help of cacao Stepping out of Patriarchy into next culture, not going back to matriarchy or patriarchy but coming into balance Taking responsibility in your life A whole different way of being Taking small steps that lead into a big leap Learning to move from trueness rather than the pressure of the world

  • Yaki Wo⁠ is the Mother of two, a forest therapy guide, and a regenerative practitioner. Besides being a Mother, her main work is introducing people to regenerative development and practice for future positive leadership. She is originally from Hong Kong and today lives in Australia.

    In this episode, Yaki shares how she got to develop Future Positive, or “Future+”, a programme she birthed in collaboration with Beijing based “Wild Bound”. It is a programme to bring regenerative practice, which she defines as cultivating essence-to-essence relationship between whole living beings, to architects and urban planners.

    Yaki shares her journey from feeling out of place in Hong Kong, studying journalism with a strong sense of justice, becoming a human rights campaigner, winning a scholarship in the UK which got her into climate change, and joining a philanthropic foundation funding NGOs that work on climate change issues.

    Listen to this episode to learn about how a dream job can turn into burn-out if old principles of pure logic and analytics are applied, and how personal life challenges can lead to change of focus. Through the death of her mother, Yaki came to enquire her spirituality, and became a forest therapy guide. Her becoming a Mother and encountering Covid lockdowns spurred her development further.

    As she learned to trust for things to emerge rather than trying to impose, listening and noticing where the patterns are emerging, she came to co-create ⁠Future+⁠.

    Today she offers Future+ workshops and community support, mainly in Asia, with a focus on regenerative discipline, to empower people to move beyond old school thinking to a more regenerative way forward.

  • This episode is a conversation amongst the three main spaceholders of RAW Edgecast. Hannah Abouzahrah holds space for Annika Korsten and Julia Neumann to speak about their One-Year-Long Journey, travelling and living largely together and partly separately, as Women committed to honesty and inhabiting their own culture.

    In November 2023, Annika and Julia co-created and lived in the first Women’s Bridge-House together with 4-5 other Women, in Golden Bay, New Zealand. In early December 2023, they sat off on a journey North by car and via ferry across the Cook Strait. What followed was a travel to visit other Women across New Zealand’s North Island, refining their own culture and taking it where they went. Navigating from moment to moment. Radically relying on their impulses and each other’s wisdom. Setting boundaries. Navigating to (non-romantic) intimacy as sisters from different parents.

    In early 2024, they lived in Motueka together, partly also with men, but mostly with other Women in Women-only spaces. Later in the year, both separately took off to Europe to connect with their roots and visit yet more Women. When they found themselves together again on the ferry across the Cook Strait in October 2024, this time Southbound, to hold space for Radically Alive Women’s Immersion, they noticed how they had come full circle.

    This recording is a start to make some of the rich findings of this extraordinary journey accessible to you.

  • Listen in for this conversation amongst 3 Women about shifting from Modern Culture child raising and family systems to a different culture. Annika Korsten holds space for mothers of young children, Hannah Abouzahrah and Ewa Sczepaniak, to speak about their visions and bold experiment of combining their families on the edge of creating something different.

    * You can show your appreciation for this conversation with a ⁠⁠donation⁠⁠. *

    Topics covered are:

    The pain of raising children in a nucleus family, expectations getting in the way of the Vision, the change of social life and contacts after child birth, the impact also on partnership,
    the necessity of doing something different, letting go of old patterns and material things to clear up space and move in with another family, the power of a shared context, children’s culture, sharing resources, also money, to make space for creations that go beyond household organisation, such as being a Healer, a trainer, a coach, etc. growing up oneself to be able to hold space for the responsibility levels you want to see in the world.

    Possibility Management (PM), mentioned a couple of times in the conversation, is based on Radical Responsibility and offers authentic adulthood initiatory processes.

  • In this episode, we are honoured to host Clare Dubois at RAW Edgecast once again. Clare is the founder of Treesisters.org, a global women's organisation for reforestation. She left Treesisters in October 2022, with burnout and mould poisoning, coupled with her transitioning through menopause. Since leaving the organisation, Clare has been facing her trauma work and surrendering to the death of her past self.

    In this conversation with Annika Korsten, Clare shows up as a walking permission for every woman and man on Earth: to feel the death of versions of ourselves and our species that have collided with the world as it is, and to allow the authentic part of our soul to express.

    She invites us to be radically present with each moment and each experience and to let the alchemical process unfold on the basis of feminine principles, as a way forward to face the mess and chaos of a culture rooted in disservice to life.

    Clare highlights the epigenetic imprint in Women encultured by a profound fear of being female and ultimately a fear to die. If we allowed the cyclical, emotional and intuitive nature of Women to come alive, the lie of rejection would be washed away by rivers of unconditional love. At this point, Clare invites us to imagine a different culture.

    Clearing and cleansing the Earth and ourselves will require an enormous amount of compassion for the parts of ourselves that have not yet grown up to an extent that we could fathom. It will require us to face the results of the barbaric choices we've made, and the violence we use towards ourselves, each other and the Earth.

    Clare's clarity and boldness empowers Women to bury the lie of of separation, to come forward in unity with other Women, to claim back our sovereignty and to own our birthright of belonging.

  • I was so thirsty to get to the nitty gritty of the fascinating topic of Fear with Jördis that I forgot to pause and introduce her.

    Jördis Tielsch trained in Medicine and worked as a Gynecologist. She now works with medical students at the University of Basel. She also has extensive experience in a variety of other bodies of work including, Alexander Technique, Eye body method, Possibility Management and is a qualified Feelings Practitioner. She holds one on one sessions where clients experience profound shifts in their physical health and are able to create new results in their life and relationships. She also holds group sessions including Rage Clubs. AND is introducing the distinctions of conscious feelings to the medical establishments through developing programmes for students and tutors.

    I love how Jördis makes feeling and healing practical and accessible.

    It is not about having no fear, or a stress free life, it is about cultivating and training different skills to handle our fear differently.

    * You can show your appreciation for this conversation with a ⁠⁠⁠donation⁠⁠⁠. *

    In this interview we start with fear and explore:

    The origin of healing, How pressure leads to sickness and Shifting from living outside of yourself to inside your body and feelings. why emotions are NOT an evolutionary design error. How her Fear helps her navigate to "what is happening behind" the presentation. The importance of joy in healing happening.

    Jördis generously shares her rich wisdom which she weaves together with her academic background to enable the best results for her clients, students and life.
