| 222. From Survival to Aliveness with Sarah Entrup | 23 Oct 2026 | 00:54:40 | |
What if reconnecting with your desires begins with telling yourself the truth? This week, we welcome spiritual teacher and embodiment practitioner Sarah Entrup for a candid conversation about midlife transformation, intimacy, and coming home to the body. Sarah shares her journey from a deeply sensitive, intuitive childhood to a lifelong spiritual path, and how the unraveling of her marriage in her 40s became an initiation into deeper authenticity. Together, we explore what becomes possible when women stop overriding their feelings and begin listening to the wisdom within. We talk about the ways women learn to push through, please others, and disconnect from their own needs. Sarah offers her perspective on moving out of those familiar patterns through awareness, movement, breath, and supportive relationships. She also shares a powerful framework for reconnecting with what we want: truth to pleasure to desire. In this episode, we explore:
This conversation is an invitation to slow down, feel what’s here, and consider what you might want when you have room to listen. As Sarah reminds us, pleasure doesn’t have to begin with something extraordinary—it can begin with noticing what feels nourishing, comforting, or alive.

| 221. Wired & Tired: Where Are the Guardrails? | 16 Oct 2026 | 00:28:58 | |
Women are tired. Anxious. Angry. Grieving. And exhausted by the expectation that we will keep absorbing the blows and moving forward. In this episode of Tend HER Wild, Betsy and Kate ask: Where are the guardrails—the boundaries, protections, and collective responses that keep harm from becoming ordinary? We explore the toll of casual cruelty, objectification, and silence, and why women need more than encouragement to take care of themselves. We need community, accountability, and men willing to speak up. In this episode, we explore:
We close with an invitation to men: Bring your courage, your tenderness, and your willingness to stay present. We need your voices—and your hearts.

| 217. Comfortably Numb: Are You Feeling Your Life? | 18 Sep 2026 | 00:27:24 | |
In today’s episode, Betsy & Kate reflect on how we all numb as a way to cope with life. We all experience emotions we don’t want to feel, so we distract ourselves in a myriad of ways. We frame numbing as not necessarily problematic until it became a way of life versus a form of self-regulation. In today’s episode we talk about:

| 216. Healing from the Inside Out with Tyeisha Washington | 11 Sep 2026 | 00:46:37 | |
Tyeisha Washington, ARNP has been a caregiver for as long as she can remember. From protecting her younger brother as a child to spending more than two decades in healthcare, caring for others has always been woven into her story. In this episode, Tyeisha shares her path from nursing assistant to board-certified nurse practitioner and entrepreneur. She opens up about the difficult work environment that pushed her to imagine a new path—and how her daughter’s diagnosis with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis inspired her to explore a more holistic, personalized approach to wellness. That journey ultimately led Tyeisha to create Glow Hydration Station, Aesthetics & More, a space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to advocate for their health. We explore:
Tyeisha also reflects on the “deep scar” that became her doorway to the Wild Woman. Rather than allowing her early experiences to define or diminish her, she used them to build a life rooted in strength, service, and stability. Her story is a powerful reminder: listen to your body, trust your inner knowing, and never underestimate what can happen when another woman sees your gifts and says, “Yes, you can.” Connect with Tyeisha Visit Glow Hydration Station, Aesthetics & More and learn more about Tyeisha’s primary care, wellness, CNA training, and CPR education services in Iowa City. The health information shared in this episode reflects personal experiences and general education. It is not a substitute for individualized medical care. Other episodes:

| 215. Honoring Iconic Wild Women: Dolly, Maya, & Georgia | 04 Sep 2026 | 00:26:13 | |
In this episode, we explore how the Wild Woman archetype lives through three iconic women: Dolly Parton, Maya Angelou, and Georgia O’Keeffe. Following the loss of Dolly Parton, we reflect on why her life touched so many people across generations and differences. Her wildness wasn’t rebellion for rebellion’s sake—it was radical self-definition. She transformed her Appalachian roots into art, protected ownership of her work, embraced femininity on her own terms, and used her success to create opportunities for others. Dolly represents the Wild Woman as Creator: I will make something beautiful from what I’ve been given. Maya Angelou represents the Wild Woman as Voice. Through trauma, silence, motherhood, activism, and art, she repeatedly refused to let the world define the limits of her being. She entered the places where women can be silenced—and returned with a voice powerful enough to transform personal experience into communal wisdom. Her declaration: I will speak what I know. Georgia O’Keeffe embodies the Wild Woman as Sovereign. She built a life around her own rhythms, perceptions, creativity, and relationship with the natural world. Through solitude and fierce independence, she listened to the call of her own life more closely than she listened to cultural expectations. Her declaration: I will live according to my own nature. Together, these women invite us to:
The Wild Woman is not simply the “bad girl” or the rebellious woman. As Clarissa Pinkola Estés describes her, she is the woman who is instinctual, creative, psychologically alive, sovereign, and unwilling to abandon herself. Perhaps the world recognizes and honors the Wild Woman without always having language for her. Perhaps the women who embody her are, as Maya Angelou wrote, truly phenomenal women. Dolly: Create. Maya: Speak. Georgia: Be. Watch Maya Angelou perform “Phenomenal Woman.” Other Episodes You Might Like: Episode 114: Use Your Voice Episode 135: Mandy Fabian: Fiercely Feminine Film Director Episode 212: The Rewilding Path Episode 76: Women Finding Their Voice Today’s Episode sponsored by: Kate Moreland Coaching (https://www.katemorelandcoaching.com/) Dr Yoga Momma (https://dryogamomma.com/) Heartland Yoga (https://heartlandyoga.com/) Want to do coaching work with Kate or mind-body psychotherapy with Betsy?

| 214. Reclaiming Financial Power with Diana Richey | 28 Aug 2026 | 00:48:25 | |
What if financial empowerment isn’t only about learning how to invest—but also about uncovering the beliefs that have shaped your relationship with money? In this episode, we talk with investor, tax attorney, writer, and financial educator Diana Richey about the inner and outer work of building wealth. Diana grew up with financial stability and strong lessons about saving and responsibility, but she also absorbed a message familiar to many women: men make the money, while women are cared for financially. That conditioning followed Diana into adulthood. She married young, became a “trailing spouse,” and built a successful legal career around her husband’s professional ambitions. As she approached 30, however, the life that looked successful from the outside began to feel increasingly heavy. A simple free-writing exercise helped her acknowledge what she truly wanted: nature, simplicity, freedom, and a life that felt more like her own. Diana shares the painful story of signing a postnuptial agreement that relinquished her rights to the company her husband built during their marriage. After their divorce, the company went public for billions—and Diana was forced to confront not only the financial loss, but also the codependency, people-pleasing, and “good girl” conditioning that influenced her decision. Rather than allowing that loss to define her, Diana used the resources she still had—her legal and financial education, her savings, and her determination—to begin studying the world’s most successful investors. Over several years, she developed her own disciplined investment process centered on research, risk awareness, and thoughtful decision-making. Together, we explore how women can become more connected to their money, trust their instincts, and build financial confidence through action. In this conversation:

| 211. Sarah Jenks: Returning to the Sacred Feminine | 07 Aug 2026 | 00:46:09 | |
In today’s episode we talk to Sarah Jenks, an ordained Priestess whose work is centered around integrating Sacred Feminine wisdom and ceremony into our everyday lives. We loved Sarah’s perspective on the Sacred Feminine, the importance of it now in these changing times, and how normal and healing it feels to reconnect to it. We talk about:
Sarah is a teacher, coach, speaker, and guide in the Sacred Feminine space whose work centers on helping women remember their brilliance, reclaim their bodies, heal internalized patriarchy, and reconnect with a more intuitive, cyclical, and authentic way of living. Her work bridges spirituality, embodiment, relationships, leadership, and personal transformation. Sarah’s own journey included struggles with body image, emotional eating, disconnection from purpose, and feeling flat and exhausted despite external success. Through studying the Sacred Feminine and women’s wisdom traditions, she developed programs and teachings focused on helping women return to themselves rather than becoming someone new.

| 209. Taboo Topics with Nicole Johnston | 17 Jul 2026 | 00:55:51 | |
About Nicole
Nicole Johnston’s Taboo Topics is an invitation to bring into the light the conversations women have often been conditioned to keep hidden. Drawing on decades of corporate leadership and executive coaching, Nicole argues that many of the barriers women experience at work are not personal shortcomings but cultural patterns that have remained largely unnamed. Rather than encouraging women simply to “lean in” or become more confident, she invites women to understand the invisible systems shaping their experiences and reclaim their voice within them. In This Episode We Discuss:
This conversation is a thoughtful and practical exploration of the invisible forces shaping women’s lives and a reminder that many of the challenges women experience are cultural patterns to question—not personal failures to fix.

At the start of season 4 we agreed that we had to take more risks and have more edgy conversations. This interview definitely lived up to our intention for season 4! We were surprised when a guest reached out to us to share her story of how she was having the best sex of her life in her 70s. After a short conversation with her, we agreed that we needed to do a full interview to let her share her story and her wisdom. This interview had us laughing, and above all, was highly educational and inspiring. Our guest requested we keep her identity anonymous. Please note: this conversation is not suitable for children or youth, so if you listen to this in the car with kids in the back, pop in some headphones. We talk about:

| 206. A Fresh Take on Perfectionism | 19 Jun 2026 | 00:28:57 | |
What if perfectionism isn’t something we need to overcome—but something we need to understand differently? In this episode of Tend HER Wild, we explore perfectionism through a new lens. Rather than viewing it as a flaw to fix, we discuss the difference between healthy striving and the forms of perfectionism that keep us disconnected from our authentic selves. We share our own stories of perfectionism, examine how culture shapes our expectations, and explore why perfectionism is often less about achievement and more about managing anxiety and seeking safety. In todays episode we draw on the work of Brené Brown, Clarissa Pinkola Estés, and Marion Woodman, and we unpack:
As Clarissa Pinkola Estés reminds us, we don’t need perfect strength—we need adequate strength to be ourselves. Sometimes 75% is enough. A flower doesn’t need to be fully open to be blooming. If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, navigating burnout or grief, constantly over-performing, or longing for a more authentic and intuitive life, this conversation is for you.

| 203. Annalise Nelson — An Honest Reflection of a Mother’s Grief | 29 May 2026 | 01:10:11 | |
In this deeply intimate conversation, we sit down with Annalise Nelson as she shares her story of motherhood, identity, loss, and rebuilding life after the death of her 7-year-old daughter, Ann-Marie. Now parenting a newborn son, Leo, Annalise reflects on how grief has reshaped everything she thought she knew about love, time, and meaning—while also revealing unexpected moments of beauty, connection, and grace. Annalise begins by sharing her early life in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, growing up as the youngest of four children in a home led by a strong single mother after the loss of her father. She reflects on how her mother modeled resilience, independence, and the importance of community—values that deeply shaped her path into teaching and later motherhood. She speaks candidly about the sudden medical crisis that led to Ann-Marie’s passing, and the devastating yet clarifying experience of receiving answers in the hospital. In the midst of unimaginable grief, she describes holding multiple truths at once: heartbreak, gratitude for medical staff, and a strange sense of grounding in understanding what had happened. A central thread of the conversation is how community carried her:
We explore how grief is not something to “get over,” but something that reshapes identity. Annalise reflects on:
She shares deeply personal and beautiful ways she continues to honor Ann-Marie:
Annalise also reflects on becoming a mother again through IVF and the arrival of baby Leo. She shares the emotional synchronicities surrounding his conception and birth, and how his name—Leo—feels connected to Ann-Marie in meaningful, symbolic ways. Rather than replacing grief, this new life exists alongside it. At the heart of the conversation is a powerful truth:
She closes with a reflection on what it means to live fully human:
This episode is a tender exploration of love, loss, and the enduring connection between a mother and her daughter—an invitation to stay open to the fullness of life, even when it hurts.

| 202. The Severing of the Wild Woman | 22 May 2026 | 00:27:34 | |
What severs women from their wild, instinctual selves? Or maybe the better question is: when did we become disconnected in the first place? In this episode, we explore the concept of “Wild Severance” — the gradual disconnection many women experience from their intuition, instincts, bodies, power, and truth. Inspired by the work of Clarissa Pinkola Estés, we unpack the systems, experiences, and conditioning that teach women to override themselves in order to belong, perform, and stay safe. We talk about the subtle and overt ways women are taught to disconnect from their natural essence — and what it means to begin rewilding ourselves back into wholeness. In This Episode We Discuss:
Key Takeaway Rewilding begins with awareness. From there, healing becomes a return. Not becoming someone new, but remembering who you were before the disconnection.

| 200. The Stories That Changed Us — Celebrating 200 Episodes of Tend HER Wild | 08 May 2026 | 00:37:10 | |
It’s hard to fathom that this podcast has lasted this long — and even more incredible that the energy surrounding it only seems to be getting stronger. What continues to emerge through these conversations is a deep collective longing: to understand ourselves more fully, to reclaim forgotten parts of ourselves, and to return to something ancient and true. Again and again, we find ourselves circling back to the essence of the Wild Woman archetype — woman’s deepest nature. In a culture where the modern woman is often a blur of activity, pressured to be everything to everyone, these conversations remind us that the old knowing is long overdue. The episodes and guests below left a lasting imprint on us — conversations that challenged us, expanded us, comforted us, and called us closer to ourselves. Highlights for Kate & Betsy Episode 172 — Sarah Goettsch Sarah is a fierce advocate for social justice and an unapologetic ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. She brings both fire and empathy to her ministry, shaped by resilience, courage, and a deep commitment to those on the margins. Her story of navigating divorce as a pastor — while feeling the judgment of her congregation — was deeply impactful. She spoke openly about people harmed by religion and shared that her husband is an atheist, emphasizing that faith is deeply personal: it is between us and our God. Her willingness to “go to the edge” challenged us to rethink the role of church and organized religion. She reminded us that while traditional religion may not be necessary for everyone, spiritual wrestling — with love, existence, meaning, and eternity — still matters profoundly. Highlights for Betsy Sasha Boros — Episode 29 Sasha spoke about no longer sacrificing connection to herself. She described feeling something within her urging her forward — pushing her toward change, even when it felt terrifying. One of the most memorable reflections: “The Universe will push you to the edge of the cliff and encourage you to jump.” Her honesty about standing in the free fall — where life feels exciting, terrifying, hopeful, and unknown all at once — captured something many women quietly experience when stepping into authenticity. Lyz Lenz — Episode 103 Lyz’s unapologetic honesty left a profound impression. She spoke about the foundation of Western marriage as a political institution — one historically rooted in inequality rather than happiness. She shared how many women believe they are the problem inside unhappy marriages, and how it takes radical imagination to envision entirely different ways of loving and living. Her reflections on freedom were unforgettable. Nina Lohman — Episode 122 Nina’s story carried tenderness and deep respect. One moment especially stayed with us: “We are going to have two houses now. We’re going to be one of those families that has two houses now.” Her approach modeled dignity, compassion, and care even through enormous life transitions. Highlight for Kate Episode 173 — Maddie Corman — Accidentally Brave Hearing Maddie’s personal story — and the resistance she faced trying to get her project picked up — was incredibly powerful. She spoke about how betrayal stories where women stay are rarely told. The cultural narrative often only makes room for women who leave dramatically. Because of that, many women navigating complicated realities feel isolated and unsupported. Her work created space for those untold stories. Highlight for Betsy Episode 154 — Kristin Hanggi Betsy reflected on the synchronicity and fate surrounding Kristin’s entrance into her studio and life. Their conversation explored creativity, the heroine’s journey, and the deep spiritual dimensions of artistic work. Highlight for Kate Episode 186 — Live Podcast Event with Dani Worrell This live event explored how connection with loved ones does not necessarily end after death, and how remaining open to signs and synchronicities can keep that connection alive. Witnessing women receive messages that deeply moved them — and seeing tears, healing, and relief in the room — was unforgettable. Ren Stinson — Episode 188 Ren’s wisdom around masculinity deeply resonated. He shared stories from his first ten years growing up in Japan and explained the meaning behind his name, Ren, meaning “Lotus.” His mother intentionally chose the name despite resistance, eventually helping normalize it in Japanese culture. Rather than redefining masculinity, Ren speaks about expanding it:
His perspective felt both grounded and hopeful. Highlights for Betsy Episode 180 — Ginette Biro Ginette’s story about hearing a voice say: “Ginette, look down the hall.” —and then seeing her cat staring at a spirit guide — left a profound impression. Her discussion of the “blueprint” theory — that our lives hold certain destined experiences and turning points — opened a conversation about fate, guidance, and spiritual design. Episodes 16 & 94 — Marianne Williamson Having Marianne on the podcast twice was deeply meaningful. Beyond her public image — author, activist, presidential candidate — what stood out most was her humanity. Petite in stature, yet carrying enormous fire, fearlessness, and conviction. Her words about women, power, and courage continue to echo: “Nothing is more of a trigger to the patriarchy than a confident woman.” She challenged women to confront the ways we silence ourselves out of fear of rejection or disapproval. She spoke about moral outrage not as hatred, but as love in action. Her reminder was clear: There is a fierceness required of women now. And the goddess is fierce. Episode 187 — Love and Solidarity: Stories from Minneapolis This conversation explored what it means to embody the Wild Woman archetype during times of collective pain and uncertainty. The episode held heartbreak and humanity together at once:
Inspired by the teachings of Clarissa Pinkola Estés, the conversation reflected on how cultures heal — and what becomes possible when communities become “a family within a family,” tending one another through fear and fierce love.

| 198. Juliana Hauser: We Are All Sexual Beings | 24 Apr 2026 | 01:00:24 | |
In today’s episode we speak with Dr. Juliana Hauser whose work is about holistic sexuality. She talks today about how sex saved her life multiple times, and the importance of understanding how sexuality is intricately connected to all areas of our life. We loved how Dr. Juliana balances openness and vulnerability with grounded theory and research. We definitely learned new things in this conversation! We talk about:
Bio: Dr Juliana Hauser is a licensed marriage and family therapist and has a Phd in Counseling Education. Her mission is to connect people with their essence – their truest self – through uncovering, demystifying, and reclaiming their unique sexuality.

| 195. Radical Wellness with Sarah Van Cleve | 03 Apr 2026 | 00:54:56 | |
Sarah Van Cleve is a somatic practitioner, facilitator, death doula, mother, gardener, devoted life-lover, and future ancestor. She is the founder of Soul House Wellness, where she weaves together yoga, sound healing, somatic practice, and leadership development to support people in reconnecting with their bodies and their truth. A self-described Black radical and professional agitator, Sarah’s work is rooted in a deep commitment to social justice, accessibility, and the kind of healing that tells the truth. Through her work, she creates spaces where people can find safety within themselves, tend to what is honest, and practice more courageous ways of being in community. In this conversation, Sarah shares how her early life experiences shaped her understanding of identity, belonging, and community. Adopted and raised as a biracial child in a loving white family and predominantly white environment, she reflects on the complexities of navigating identity, proximity to whiteness, and the ways those experiences and micro aggression shaped her path toward embodied healing and justice-centered wellness work. Sarah also speaks about the importance of creating intentional spaces for people of color in wellness, including her work with Return (formerly Yoga for People of Color), and why race, power, and community must be part of the conversation if healing spaces are to be truly inclusive. Together, we explore what wellness spaces often miss, the ongoing practice of unlearning, and what it means to build communities that are brave enough to tell the truth. In this episode we discuss:
This conversation invites us to consider how healing is not only personal, but collective—and how creating spaces rooted in honesty, embodiment, and justice can open the door to deeper belonging for all.

| 191. Our Favorite Quotes (and Why They Matter) | 06 Mar 2026 | 00:44:37 | |
Words have a way of finding us exactly when we need them. In this episode, we share 22 quotes that have inspired, grounded, and guided us through different seasons of life. This conversation was sparked by a listener who asked us: What are the quotes you return to again and again? So we gathered the words that have stayed with us—and the meaning behind them. We’d love to know: what quotes have shaped your life? Quotes: “The women I love and admire for their strength and grace did not get that way because shit worked out. They got that way because shit went wrong and they handled it. They handled it a thousand different ways on a thousand different days, but they handled it. Those women are my superheroes.” -Elizabeth Gilbert “The more scared we are of a work or calling , the more sure we can be that we have to do it. Resistance is experienced as fear. The degree of fear equates to the strength of resistance. Therefore the more fear we feel about a specific enterprise the more certain we can be that enterprise is important to us and the growth of our soul. “ Stephen Pressfield from “War of Art” “The wound is the place where the light enters you. “ Rumi “Love is the most powerful force in the world. If people tell you the opposite of love is fear, it is not so. Love just is. Love has no opposite, it’s the answer to everything, everything. Where there is disharmony, wherever there’s pain, whoever there’s hunger or wherever there is sorrow. Just send love. Not only to humanity, but to all of life. To the rivers, the oceans, the forest, to the animals the birds, the bees to air you breathe. To the whole cosmos because you are part of the one, we are all part of the one. There is no separation. “ -Delores Cannon “Let your heart break, so your spirit doesn’t.” – Andrea Gibson “Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act , just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.” -Rainer Maria Rilke “Letters to a Young Poet” “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you do, but they will never forget the way you made them feel”. Maya Angelou “To strive for perfection is to kill love, because perfection does not recognize humanity.” -Marianne Woodman “How to do the thing you are afraid to do. Grab fears by the hand, grab hope by the hand and start walking.” -Cleo Wade “Nothing has as strong of influence psychologically on your environment, and especially on your children, than the un-lived life of the parent.” Carl Yung “Of course I’ve changed darling, I’ve grown.” -Cleo Wade “Aging is no accident. It is necessary to the human condition, intended by the soul. We become more characteristic of who we are simply by lasting into later years; the older we become, the more our true natures emerge. Thus the final years have a very important purpose: the fulfillment and confirmation of one’s character.” – James Hillman “You are the sky, everything else is the weather.” – Pema “If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And if I’m only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when? -Hillel “The best thing to hold onto in life, is each other.” – Audrey Hepburn “Your new life is going to cost you your old one. “I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.” – Audrey Hepburn “She knows that she’ll get her butt kicked if she chooses aliveness , her light will blind others, her darkness will not let her fit in, her success will provoke conflict, her ways of healing will be judged, her enemies will want her to cower, and fear will do it’s best to take her down. So she draws a circle around herself and keeps opening up, because aliveness is freedom. She’s embracing the risk to bypass the ordinary and she’s exactly what the world needs right now.” -Tanya Markul She Book “Strong back, soft front, wild heart.” – Joan Hallifax / Brene’ Brown Past Episodes You Might Like with Kate & Betsy: Episode 100: The Upper Limit: Living In Your Full Potential Episode 80: Self Compassion: The Secret Sauce of Life Episode 153: Connecting to Soul as a Path to Abundance Episode 55: Boundaries & Self Sabotage LIVE PODCAST EVENT Seasoned Wisdom Date: April 1st, 11am – 1pm Come soak up the wisdom that only comes from age…A signature event of the Water Bearer Collective in partnership with the Tend HER Wild Podcast.

| 187. Love and Solidarity: Stories from Minneapolis | 06 Feb 2026 | 00:42:24 | |
Season 4 of Tend Her Wild opens with a refusal to play small. In this episode, we bear witness to what is unfolding in Minneapolis—and across our country—through the lens of the Wild Woman archetype. This conversation is about courage in real time, love under pressure, and what it looks like when women choose presence over paralysis. We ask the question Clarissa Pinkola Estés reminds us of how a culture heals, and we explore what happens when a community becomes “a family within a family,” tending one another through fear, grief, and fierce love. This episode holds pain and power, heartbreak and humanity, and a deep reminder that the wild woman rises precisely in times like these. What the Wild Woman Is Teaching Us Right Now
Guest 1: A Minnesota Neighbor & Artist — Bearing Witness Through Action Our first guest is a local neighbor and artist from Minnesota who shares what it is like to live inside the unfolding events in Minneapolis. She reminds us that this is not the time to be quiet, even when fear is present—and that fear is not a reason to disengage. Key reflections from her story:
She speaks honestly about the emotional roller coaster of these days, while holding faith that this community is modeling something vital for the rest of the country. Guest 2: An Immigrant’s Perspective from Downtown Minneapolis Our second guest is an immigrant who has lived in the United States for nearly 30 years and currently resides in downtown Minneapolis. She shares the disorientation of desolate streets, the fear of leaving home, and the haunting familiarity of carrying papers—echoing memories of wartime survival. Her reflections include:
She reminds us that anything rooted in fear, greed, or selfishness cannot last—and that when justice is destroyed, it will be reborn. We hold deep gratitude for these two women who chose to bear witness, sharing their stories with honesty and heart. They embody both courage and pain, reminding us that the wild woman does not numb—she stays present, rooted in love, and committed to life.

| 183. Anger: Still Channeling the Fire | 21 Nov 2025 | 00:42:15 | |
“There is an aspect that women need to master if you’re going to be a wild woman and that is dealing with what can only be called women’s rage. The release of that rage is required. Once women remember the origins of their rage they feel they may never stop grinding their teeth. Ironically, we also feel very anxious to disperse our rage for it feels distressing and anxious. We wish to hurry up and do away with it. But, repressing it will not work.”
—Clarissa Pinkola Estes in Women Who Run with the Wolves
In this episode we explore:
-How anger is often considered a “bad” emotion, but that it is truly useful information and can offer us energy to sort through the complexities of life
-How perfectionism and the need to be nice can repress anger early in life
-How Kate found anger and rage as young women in spaces (law, politics, human rights) where appropriate anger could be acknowledged and accepted
-How Betsy, whose training was to be good, nice and likable, held anger back until later in life
-How women often repress anger, which then can manifest in the body as depression, heart problems, digestive issues
-Heathy ways to express anger and how to figure out what message anger is trying to give us
A Finnish study that mapped emotions onto where they are felt in the body

In today’s episode, we dive into a rich and inspiring conversation with yoga teacher Uma Subramaniam. Uma shares her journey from growing up in India—where yoga was a natural part of daily life—to her years in the U.S. financial industry, and ultimately, to rediscovering her calling as a lifelong student and teacher of yoga. Through her story, Uma beautifully illustrates how yoga is not just a practice, but a way of being—one that guides her understanding of purpose, balance, and self-awareness.

| 181. The Year of Endings & Beginnings | 07 Nov 2025 | 00:48:06 | |
At the start of Season 3 on Tend Her Wild, astrologer and coach Cathy Pagano talked about 2025 as a year of endings and beginnings. Today Kate and Betsy get personal and reflect on a moment in Iceland 4 years ago when they both had an inkling of something hard they were going to have to face. Kate faced her challenge 2 years ago that we discussed in Episode 44, and now Betsy is facing her challenge. We had no idea where this conversation would go, but feel it is an exploration into honesty, nudges from the soul, and surrender. In today’s episode we discuss:

| 180. Ginette Biro: A Near Death Experience & Divine Connection to the Other Side | 31 Oct 2025 | 01:03:45 | |
Today’s interview was both eye opening and fascinating as we interviewed Ginette Biro, a medium (someone who can see, hear, and communicate with spirits on the other side). We hear about her journey of opening into these gifts, and a near death experience she had at 2019 that encouraged her to step up and show more of her wisdom and perspective. In today’s episode we:
Bio: Ginette Biro s a powerful medium who is clairaudient, clairvoyant, clairsentient and claircognizant. She can hear, see, feel and know information from spirit and other dimensions. Since Ginette was a child, she has been channeling beings from the 4th to 12th dimensions, connecting people to the other side and bringing messages to inspire and inform our world. Ginette has many spirit guides and ascended masters and beings who are guiding her to support the planet in its ascension. In addition to these remarkable gifts, she has spent soul time on the other side through a near death experience. This allowed her to see and understand how our life blueprint and soul’s journey actually works. Learn more about Ginette’s work at www.avalonspirit.com.

| 179. The Heroine’s Journey: The Descent to the Goddess | 24 Oct 2025 | 00:33:52 | |
We reviewed the Heroine’s Journey that we talked about in Episode 60, and took it a little deeper today after exploring this beautiful methodology for a full week on a recent retreat in Greece. There are many steps on the Heroine’s Journey (see book by Maureen Murdock), but today we dive into the step called “Descent to the Goddess” and what this actually means. Our conversation processes the retreat and what we both learned, as well as the lessons of several women who attended. Today we discuss:
The Heroine’s Journey is a book written by Dr. Maureen Murdock based on her understanding the feminine version of the Hero’s Journey as articulated by Jospeh Campbell in The Hero with A Thousand Faces.

In today’s episode, we dive into The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz—a timeless guide to personal freedom and transformation. As we prepare for our upcoming retreat in Greece with 44 incredible women, we explore how these four agreements can serve as a foundation for group connection, compassion, and authentic living.

It really is a time for us to step up and take some responsibility for our own nervous system, so for today’s episode we revisit the topic of nervous system dysregulation and how most of us are likely dysregulated due to the stressors of modern day life.

| 176. Carmen Serano: The Beauty Between the Breaks | 29 Sep 2025 | 00:55:21 | |
In today’s episode, we sit down with actress Carmen Serano-Gingles, who shares a powerful story of healing, resilience, and transformation. Carmen opens up about navigating her own “dark night of the soul” and the hope she now brings to other women as a coach and guide. Having survived multiple layers of trauma in both childhood and adulthood, she eventually discovered true self-love and a deep sense of wholeness in midlife. Through courageous inner work and generational healing—supported by psychedelic journeys—she reconnected with herself and opened the door to authentic love. This journey is at the heart of her forthcoming memoir, The Beauty Between the Breaks, which she describes not just as a book, but as a movement of healing, connection, and love. In our conversation, we explore:
Carmen’s story is one of courage, alchemy, and radical love. It’s an invitation to believe in the possibility of healing—no matter how broken the past may feel. Excerpt “What I Learned About My Mother” “And then my Nana came through. My mother’s mother, who had adored both of us. I heard her clearly: “Stop looking to her to be your mother. I am your mother. She is your tormented sister.” I knew she didn’t mean those words literally. It was a soul-level truth, a reframe. My Nana was reclaiming her maternal role in my life and reminding me that my ownmother was too wounded to play hers. “She cannot give you what you need.” And in an instant, everything changed. I wasn’t angry anymore. I wasn’t grieving what I didn’t get. I saw my mom not as the woman who failed me, but as a girl who had been broken too. A girl who had been hurt by her own father. A girl who survived things I’ll never fully understand. And in that space of truth, compassion bloomed…..” Learn more about Carmen’s work:

This is a theme that we have been wanting to explore on the podcast for months, but have been dragging our feet. (Perhaps because we both identify closely with this pattern). We looked for an expert on this, and reached out to Melody Beattie last year, author of the best seller “Codependent No More”. She agreed to come on the podcast but requested we wait until the Fall when she had a new book coming out. Melody passed away this past February at the age of 76. May you Rest In Peace Melody and thank you for opening so many of our eyes to the pattern of codependency. Today we discuss:
