Female Frequency Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Today, I’m so excited to share this conversation with a true creative force—Mary White. Mary is not just a sculptor and educator; she’s a visionary leader who uplifts the voices of women in environmental art and education, empowering them to make waves and create meaningful change. I’ll leave her website information in the notes—it’s truly inspirational.

I am most intrigued by Mary as an artmaker. To me, Mary works collaboratively, but she never negotiates her values, holding steadfast to what matters most in every project she undertakes. She creates art that integrates natural sciences, environmental perception, arts education, and peacemaking, all through the lens of formed friendships. She seems to know everyone, and now I am pleased to introduce you to this amazing ecofeminist.

Mary is the daughter of a water resources geographer, and her early travels sparked a passion for the creative process, nature, and caring for the earth’s creatures and natural resources. As a scholar, she won a Fulbright to Ireland, where she produced a symposium with her cohorts, focusing on craft as a vehicle for social justice.

As a teacher, she taught at the Corning Museum of Glass and California College of the Arts, spent 20 years teaching at San Jose State University, and started the glass program at The Crucible in Oakland, California. She is currently co-chair of Women Eco Artists Dialog (WEAD).

Tune in to this conversation, where we catch up with Mary during her short stay in Colorado with family, and she takes us behind the scenes of her 18-foot public art installation titled Flood Marker, along with a few other works from her career!

Highlights you’ll love:

• How the glass was made for an 18 foot sculpture placed outdoors titled Flood Marker.
• Why is looking for new leadership from women and eco arts so important?

Mary White is currently co-chair of WEAD (Women Eco Artists Dialog) https://www.weadartists.org/

Today we are thrilled to welcome  an ecofeminist artist who beautifully bridges the natural laws governing our environment with the manmade structures we create. With a career spanning over four decades, Stacy Levy’s art serves as a visual mnemonic—a collaboration with the forces of the earth and the life it sustains. You can see her creative approach in parks, airports, museums, galleries, marinas, and more!

Through a collaborative approach, she works alongside ecologists, urban planners, and communities, integrating creative strategies to engage and restore balance, winning her the Penn Future Award for Women in Conservation and the Henry Meigs Environmental Leadership Award, among others.

In this episode, you’ll discover how this Yale alum abandoned the “white box” approach to art-making, bringing creativity into our daily passage. This connection is both aesthetic and a pledge to contribute to climate solutions.

Listen as she tells us more about her Climate Disturbance Series in glass, which addresses rising temperatures, and her Tide Series devoted to ecological cycles and gravitational pulls.

Highlights you will love:

Welcome to the latest solo episode of the Female Frequency Podcast, where we dive into the intersection of art, spirituality, and feminine power through an ecofeminist lens. Today, I invite you on a journey to call in our truth and challenge the status quo, reconnecting with Mother Earth and redefining our creative energies.

Throughout history, traditionally feminine qualities—such as receptivity, softness, and creativity—have been undervalued and ignored, yet they are essential to the health and vitality of our society and environment. In this episode, we emphasize the importance of tuning into the vibe and reclaiming these qualities in a patriarchal world.

Listen as I share my personal story of embracing ecofeminism, which has provided me with the strength to navigate life's challenges. Discover why challenging the status quo is vital and why we must unmute this powerful frequency.

Show Highlights:

• Unmute the Frequency: We confront the historical erasure of women's contributions and stories, celebrating the unique resonance and energy of the female frequency.

Welcome to the latest episode of Female Frequency Podcast, where we transcend the ordinary and radiate in the extraordinary power of the full moon to unlock your creative potential. Join us on a lunar journey as we explore the profound question: What are you full of?

In this special episode, we bask in the glow of the full moon, aligning ourselves with its energy to become the main character in our own story. Just as the moon reflects the world around us, it also mirrors our inner selves, helping us tap into our deepest creative sources.

Drawing inspiration from ancient traditions and spiritual practices, we embrace the moon as a symbol of reflection, intuition, and creative inspiration. As I share a few personal stories and cultural insights, we uncover the myriad names and meanings of the June full moon, from Strawberry Moon to Rose Moon, each highlighting a unique aspect of the human experience.

Our exploration goes beyond the traditional confines of creativity. We reimagine creativity as a universal force that permeates all areas of life, from problem-solving and innovation to everyday ingenuity. By adopting a creative mindset, we transform routine activities into opportunities for personal growth and self-expression. This episode offers a transformative approach to creativity and self-awareness that values and uplifts the feminine, providing a meaningful alternative to the limitations of patriarchy.

To deepen your connection with the lunar energy, I guide you through a reflective exercise, encouraging you to visualize the full moon and explore your inner landscape. This exercise fosters self-awareness and reimagines creative flow.

We also pay tribute to pioneering women like Hilma af Klint and Nancy Holt, whose works challenge conventional notions of art and spirituality. Their legacies inspire us to blend the realms of fine art, design, and spirituality, erasing boundaries and nurturing a world where art truly exists for everyone.

This episode is short, sweet, and offers a transformative approach to creativity and self-awareness that values and uplifts the feminine, providing a meaningful alternative to the limitations of patriarchy.

4 Highlights you will learn:

1. How an ecofeminist approach can rewild your creativity
2. Phases of the moon can mirror different phases of creativity
3. Learn in one exercise how the values we give our self-awareness can transform our creative flow

When I asked ChatGPT what Madeleine Albright and Frida Kahlo have in common, it answered: "Both mastered the art of bold statements: Madeleine with her brooches, and Frida with her eyebrows!" I was appalled by this reductionist view. Albright, a human rights activist, broke glass ceilings with her work in politics and advocating for women's rights. Frida Kahlo is a trailblazing feminist whose art addresses issues of identity, postcolonialism, gender, and class. In reality, both women mastered art as political discourse.

In today’s episode of Female Frequency, we dive into the inspiring world of women who have used art to shape history and politics. We will explore how art influences and harnesses meaningful connections, recognizing its power to engage in political discourse, initiate big conversations, and mirror societal events. Madeleine and Frida both showed us that art is a comment on the status quo.

Join me as I profile Madeleine Albright, a collector, and a U.S. diplomat known for her strategic use of pins as a communication tool. Her exhibit "Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection" features over 200 pins, each with a story and message that reflects her wit, humor, and communication style. Learn how Albright’s pins served as powerful tools for cultural diplomacy and political discourse.

I’ll discuss Frida Kahlo, whose paintings are a profound exploration of personal and political struggles. Kahlo’s art is a bold statement against patriarchal norms, representing female autonomy and resilience. Her self-portraits and symbolic use of color provided commentary on identity and postcolonialism, breaking taboos and advocating for women's rights.

Additionally, I share pro tips on collecting art, highlighting three motivations for art acquisition and how artists can connect with potential collectors. Discover how colors, emotional connections, and personal values drive art collectors and how understanding these motivations can help artists foster lasting relationships with an audience.

4 Highlights from this episode:

1. Brooches & pins have been part of political discourse through history even in the era of the suffragettes.
2. The significance of the "Read My Pins" exhibit and the stories behind Albright’s pin collection, particularly the famous serpent pin.
3. Frida Kahlo’s use of art as a means of political discourse, addressing issues of postcolonialism, identity, gender, and class.
4. Learn directly from Kahlo’s journals what colors meant to here and Kahlo’s contributions to feminist art.

Rev. Frances Fayden is in the house, and we’re blowing the roof off patriarchal limitations to divine connection! As an interfaith minister, spiritual counselor and intuitive mentor, her greatest joy is enabling people to have sacred experiences of themselves and direct experiences with god – whether god appears as Mother Mary, Isis or Quan Yin. Frances champions connecting with the divine feminine through the deepest wisdom of our bodies and the earth. She shares her own journey of spiritual awareness, heartbreak, and reawakening. From the age of 7, she knew she wanted to be a priest but was told: girls cannot. Though she could read chakras and help people unblock emotions caught in the whirlpools of their energy centers. Though spirits talked to her. Years later, she joined an ashram only to be told: you do not fit. Now the Magnify Your Miracle podcast host helps countless women walk their inner path of healing, trusting in themselves, and manifesting their dreams in the world. Learn how the “Threefold Soul” of artist-mystic-healer (or creativity, ritual, and healing) can bridge heaven and earth. Explore the field of unconditional love within the female frequency. Plus! Rev Frances ends our conversation with an invitation to go within. Be guided in a special meditation to open your heart chakra and start feeling safe in yourself.

4 Things you’ll learn in this episode: 

1. I met Rev. Frances Fayden for the first time in Paris.
2. Frances first practiced the healing arts as a massage therapist/bodyworker when she learned that chakras talked to her. All the information we could ever want to learn about ourselves resides within our bodies.
3. Creativity, ritual and healing all bring the unseen into the seen world, and move the invisible to the visible.
4. “The occult” (meaning magic and mysticism) has been demonized for too long. “We’ve been conditioned to not trust ourselves, the earth, our bodies, anything feminine and that’s why we’re in this pickle we’re in on this planet. We need to reclaim the words, the practices, the energy to vibe with the earth.”

Showing up as the main character in my life is the best choice I’ve ever made! Main character energy is about stepping into my power, owning my story, and embracing every aspect of who I am with unapologetic authenticity. It's about reclaiming my narrative, rewriting the script, and living each moment with intention and purpose. It's a journey of self-discovery, self-love, and self-expression—a journey that connects me with the natural world, my heart, and my creativity. It empowers me to shine brightly and live my truth, no matter the challenges or obstacles along the way.

In this week’s Female Frequency episode, I share my unique method of stepping into main character energy while staying grounded, spiritual, and creative. Through the lens of eco-feminism, I explore how reclaiming this energy is not just about personal empowerment but also about balancing and restoring our world.

 Highlights you will learn:

1. Understanding main character energy through a feminist perspective.
   
   
2. Recognizing and challenging patriarchal conditioning in our lives.
   
   
3. How to alchemize negative conditioning of the natural world, particularly in how it relates to polarizing: The diminutive phrase "Fragile as a Flower" implies weakness or inferiority, especially in reference to femininity. But what if we reframed that notion to "Fearless as a Flower”?
   
   
4. Why ask yourself: “How can I be more creative?”
   
   
5. What is a  Life Mapping exercise and how The Full Petal Project can help guide you with female frequency prompts to revisit your life events through the eco-feminist lens.

Experience the transformative power of reclaiming your main character energy and join me for the Full Petal Project workshop on May 23, 2024. Seats are limited. Reserve your spot on pressreign.com now!

“You gotta find the river. You gotta jump in.” Liz Childs Kelly, bristling with aliveness, rewilds us to discover the divine feminine inside us and all around us. The researcher and educator, host of Home To Her podcast and award-winning author of Home to Her: Walking the Transformative Path of the Sacred Feminine shares her own feral journey. From wearing a pair of red patent leather pumps as the uncomfortable CEO of her business consulting company, to a soul-baring encounter with Polynesian navigators that changed the course of her life forever. Liz tuned into the female frequency to find her herstory. You’re invited: stray from hyperational, linear paths to discover deeper, more curious and complete ways of being in the world. We dive into how patriarchal strictures have robbed us of so much richness and our divine heritage. We reroot relationships, find magic in the everyday, and ground-truth powerful connections to place. We explore a different language of the body and its signal processing for us to rejoin the sacred feminine. We reculture words and retrace etymologies that honor the goddess and the bitch! Join us in a movement to recall and reconnect with the ancient, divine force whose creative wisdom empowers us to heal ourselves, our communities, and our planet from within.    

4 Things you’ll learn in this episode:

1. Pacific Islander wayfinders could sail thousands of miles on open ocean voyages without the use of any modern instrumentation because they exist in such deep relationship with the natural world — reading the wind, swells, birds, clouds, stars, “attuned to the wisdom of their own hearts.”
   
   
2. Learning the language of the body requires us to quiet the mind to listen to the indwelling presence of the divine feminine god within us.
   
   
3. The bone that both Liz Childs Kelly and I have to pick with the patriarchal descriptors of the oldest known image of a woman giving birth, found in the Musée d'Aquitaine in Bordeaux, France.
