S.1 E.1 Dancing with Water with Lorís Simón Salum

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann and Jennifer Mulak) — Wed, 1 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Lorís Simón Salum is a Jungian psychotherapist whose work lives at the intersection of psyche, body, and symbol. Based in Houston, she works with dreams, sandtray, and LENS neurofeedback. Her path is deeply influenced by the Marion Woodman tradition, and she is currently a training candidate at the C.G. Jung Institute in Zürich. Alongside her clinical work, she is developing a documentary project on the relationship between symbol and embodied transformation.

In 2013 she released her documentary film Ensoulment, A Diverse Analysis of the Feminine in Western Culture, portraying a road to self discovery through the tangles of Jungian theory, cultural narratives and personal intuition. An internationally award-winning film that screened across multiple countries and numerous cities.

Our conversation weaves through topics on "the feminine," how gender is related to and separate from feminine and masculine embodiment, the role women play in patriarchy and moving beyond it, the inner lives of men, and finding balance amongst it all.

You can learn more about Lorís's work at lorissimon.com, and follow her on Instagram.

415 Shana Falana and The Goddess

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 01:00:00 +0000

It's my last radio show, and I am overjoyed and grateful that I get to spend it the way it began, with my friend and show co-founder Shana Falana. To formally reintroduce you, she is a songwriter, performer, and community architect originally from San Francisco, based in the Hudson Valley since 2008. For over 25 years, Shana has merged music and public service—bringing 12-step meetings into jails and institutions throughout Ulster County, helping coordinate the early years of O+ Festival, and co-founding the I Want What SHE Has radio show on Radio Kingston.

She is the founder and creative force behind The Goddess Party, a performance collective uplifting women through music, ritual, and radical joy, with sold-out shows at Opus 40, Old Dutch Church, and Basilica Hudson.

Her artistic and social practice centers on amplifying women in their perimenopausal and menopausal years, increasing the visibility of aging women on stage and reshaping cultural narratives about power, beauty, and relevance after fifty. She is the creator and showrunner of a scripted television series inspired by The Goddess Party, expanding its story from live performance into narrative television.

Shana is someone who as a friend I've witnessed move through the life cycle of different projects and life experiences with apparent ease. I'm someone who struggles to let go and perhaps holds on a bit too long, but she talks about what endings are like for her and how she navigates them. We get to hear about the beginning and evolution of The Goddess Party, the challenges, highlights, and what's to come. As much of her current work relates to thriving in an older woman's body, Shana shares her experience of navigating illness and perimenopause and offers many resources that have supported her along the way, always following her intuition.

Here are the books Shana mentioned - Wise Power, Hagitude, Mother Hunger

And the doctor she recommended.

You can find her here ->> instagram / spotify / apple music /

And stay tuned to The Goddess Party's Instagram account for more details about the upcoming March 27th benefit concert they are participating in at Levon Helm Studios.

My previous show on The Goddess Party can be found here!

414 Bryn Roshong "Solid Ground Farm and Food Access"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann and Jennifer Mulak) — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Today's guest on The Feminine Frequency is Bryn Roshong. She lives on her family's farm in Lomontville with her husband, Wes Hannah, and two kids. She has spent the last 15 years working in and up against the food system as a farmer, farmer policy advocate, and in industrial-scale food manufacturing. She is co-owner with Wes of Solid Ground Farm, a four-season diversified organic veggie farm in Marbletown, stewarding 25 acres and employing 6 full-time farm staff. At the farm, she serves in roles outside the fields, supporting the farm's bookkeeping, mission, and communications. Since 2021, after eight years working in operations at a former food processing facility called The Farm Bridge, Bryn has been working with a great team at Community Food Works, building community-focused food processing infrastructure in Kingston to strengthen the local agricultural economy and make local food accessible to as many community members as possible. She enjoys hanging out with her family at home and in the woods, and volunteering with a few local organizations: the Kingston farmers market board, Marbletown's Community Preservation Advisory Board, advisory committee for Growing Homes, and political advocacy working group of the HV Young Farmers Coalition.

We get to hear about how Bryn (and Wes) went from labor organizing to farm working to running their own farm supported by a team of dedicated farmers. We learn about the work Bryn has done and is doing to create a more self sustaining food system in the Hudson Valley which includes a deeper understanding of how food banks and food pantries work. I had no idea! Bryn is also well versed in the inherent racism in the farming industry and sheds light on how the Federal Government's efforts to reverse DEI has impacted beneficial food programs that were bringing more equality to farming and food access. How does she do it all while also being a mom to two young children? She's starting to find ways to receive help despite the personal challenges and perspectives that created the "I can and must do it all" attitude. Who else can relate??? (We do.) More on that, but for now, we hope you enjoy our conversation with Bryn.

You can learn more about the Farm and their CSA program here.

Here's your New Moon Solar Eclipse astrology. Happy Year of the Fire Horse!

413 "Miracles and Love" with Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann and Marielena Ferrer) — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 01:00:00 +0000

It's my last on air show with Marielena Ferrer! We started this monthly conversation about Spirituality and Politics, the art of living and the art of living together, nearly 5 years ago in April 2021. It's been a wonderful and expansive exploration of subjects that are near and dear to my heart and my sense of curiosity. We chose to end our run with a conversation about Miracles. We'd given ourselves homework to explore A Course in Miracles, but I had a hard time digesting it, even Marianne Williamson's interpretation of it. But that didn't stop us for working through some of the meaning of the text and overall, what miracles are and how they relate to the art of living.

Related to the conversation is the concept of Love which you might say is the art of living together. Perhaps from a scientific perspective, it is the glue that holds us together. We'll be continuing our conversation at Unison Arts beginning on March 6, 2026 and in the podcast once my radio show sunsets. Stay tuned for more!

412 Artist and Educator Koyoltzintli "Flowing Into Her Path"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 3 Feb 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Today on the show I get to spend time with Koyoltzintli. She is an interdisciplinary artist and educator living in Ulster County, New York. She was raised on the Pacific coast and in the Andean mountains of Ecuador. Her work revolves around sound, ancestral technologies, ritual, and storytelling, blending collaborative processes with personal narratives. Nominated for the Prix Pictet in 2019 and 2023, her work has been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC, the United Nations, the Parrish Art Museum, Princeton University, the Aperture Foundation in NYC, and Paris Photo. She has had two solo shows at Miyako Yoshinaga Gallery and a solo show at Leila Greiche in 2023. Koyoltzintli has taught at CalArts, SVA, ICP, and CUNY. She has received multiple awards and fellowships, including at the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris, NYFA, We Women, the Latinx Artist Fellowship by the US Latinx Art Forum (USLAF), and most recently, the Anonymous Was a Woman award. Her first monograph, Other Stories, was published in 2017 by Autograph ABP. Her work was featured in the Native issue of Aperture Magazine (no. 240) and included in the book Latinx Photography in the United States by Elizabeth Ferrer, former chief curator at BRIC. She is part of Flow States – LA TRIENAL 2024, El Museo del Barrio’s second large-scale survey of Latinx contemporary art.

Koyoltzintli has performed at venues such as the Whitney Museum, Wave Hill, Socrates Park, Brooklyn Museum, and Queens Museum. Recently, she performed at Performance Space in NYC, curated by Guadalupe Maravilla, at Dia Chelsea for the closing event of Delcy Morelos' El Abrazo, and at Ann Street Gallery in Newburgh, NY.

During our conversation, Koyo shares about her family, her childhood, how her travels with her father and the rooting into her ancestral lands with her mother helped to shape who she is today. We learn about her dear elders who she both photographed and studied with, and how they played a role in the work she does today with clay and indigenous sounds. While Koyo shares some of the stories of her days as a photojournalist, it would seem that we barely scratched the surface of all that flows from and through her. You can follow along with her offerings and creations by way of her website and social media. Stay tuned for details of an upcoming show in April! Here's the info on her Egg Cleansing Ritual at Spiral Mirror on February 16th.

Here are your Full Moon vibes.

411 The Feminine Frequency "The Year of the Fire Horse: Community, Care, Love and Nonviolence"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann and Jennifer Mulak) — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Today, Theresa and Jennifer are discussing the Year of the Fire Horse and what that might mean for how we move through the year. First, what are we hearing and feeling about the Fire Horse? High-energy, sometimes chaotic, transformation, bold changes, breaking old patterns... It's an excellent time for self care and community care and maybe incorporating some white or blue into your life to balance the fiery red.

How may we choose to show up in a big collective community care way? Protesting, activism, nonviolence. Erica Chenoweth is someone Theresa refers to when thinking about countering the violence with non-violence. We discuss what makes a successful nonviolent movement: 1. the ability to organize large scale participation and build momentum, 2. ability to illicit loyaltyships in key pillars of support. 3. maintain resilience even under violence. 4. innovate beyond street demonstrations.

Playbook of every successful non-violent struggle.

Jennifer think about the different roles we might play when engaged in a movement as outlined in the Social Change Ecosystem Map. And is inspired by the wisdom shared by Valerie Kaur and her philosophy on Revolutionary Love: Three Different Tenets to it. Loving Self, Love for Others, Love for your Opponents.

Want some inspiration for taking Anti-ICE action:

From Pat Ryan's Office: Please complete his quick survey here to tell him your thoughts about stopping ICE from opening a new detention facility in our home of the Hudson Valley.

We conclude the show with some Divine Feminine divination from Lakshmi.

410 Jackie Geraci "Music and Theater Educator"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Today on the show I get to sit down with Jacqueline Geraci. Jackie grew up in Port Ewen and attended Kingston City Schools, then went to college, earning both a bachelor’s and master's degree in music education from the Crane School of Music. She previously served as Director of Bands and Musicals at St. Joseph’s before getting hired in Kingston where she is currently a middle school band director at Bailey Middle School, an assistant director of the drama club at Bailey, a staff member for the KHS Marching Band, and the director and choreographer of Musical Theatrics at KHS.

Today, Jackie shares how and why she became a teacher, who mentored her along the way, and some of the highlights of her work. I learned soooo much about the inner workings of school music and drama programs and have a deepened respect for what they do and how they are shaping our future. This year's big Theatrics performance, Once Upon a Mattress, runs March 19-22th. You won't want to miss it!

409 Fire, War, Miracles "Spirituality and Politics"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann and Marielena Ferrer) — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 01:00:00 +0000

It's time for Spirituality and Politics with Marielena Ferrer and I. Today we talk about how we're letting go of last year and entering this year by way of our New Year/Solstice wish rituals. We ponder fire as portal into another dimension, why we wish for things, the purpose of a wish and what we feel permission to wish for.

Because Marielena is from Venezuela, we dip our toe into the complexities of the political situations we find our country in, and how our inner children are relating to them.

We end with some New Moon Vibes and a contemplation of miracles. More on that next month for our final show!

408 Corinna Barsan "Aligned Light"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 6 Jan 2026 01:00:00 +0000

This week on the show I am joined by Corinna Barsan, an Akashic Records reader, Crystal Resonance therapist, spiritual medium, and Reiki practitioner. She is also an independent book editor and writing coach, having worked in publishing for 15 years and in the MFA Writing Program at Columbia University. She lives and works in Kingston, NY, where she is the co-creator of Spiral Mirror, a metaphysical used bookstore and community space that she opened with her husband, Dan Chung, in March 2025.

Corinna and I talk about her childhood when she first began to connect with spirits and guides, and why she quieted those voices until she finally felt permission to embrace that part of herself. After finding herself misaligned with her professional career, Corinna began a long and ever evolving journey to reconnect with herself. We talk about what she did, and what she learned along the way including how she embraced and moved beyond the fear that kept her misaligned. She shares with us how the seeds of Spiral Mirror came to fruition and all the goodness they offer there.

You can connect with her and her offerings at Aligned Light.

407 JoAnn Stevelos "The Hope Model"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 01:00:00 +0000

Today, I get to sit down with returning guest, JoAnn Stevelos, MS, MPH. She is a writer, public health advisor, and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of survival, spiritual terror, radical repair, and relational hope. With more than twenty years’ experience in nonprofits, government, public health research, bioethics, and education, she uses her training to help create a culture of health through innovative solutions that treat health as a fundamental human right. Her Robert Wood Johnson Foundation–funded work in Aotearoa New Zealand inspired her to adopt a Samoan proverb as a north star: “Solutions for the community come from the community.”

JoAnn is currently the Executive Director of the Andrew Levitt Center for Social Emergency Medicine. She has served in key leadership roles including Executive Director of the Coalition for Supportive Care of Kidney Patients at George Washington University; Director of the NYS Center for the Prevention of Childhood Obesity; Director of Evaluation for the Alliance for a Healthier Generation and Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign; and Monitoring and Evaluation Advisor for the RWJF-funded Comprehensive Child Sexual Abuse Prevention, Treatment, and Mitigation program in New Zealand. She advises national and international nonprofits that address health disparities and inequities. A founding board member of The Hope Institute, she has served on the boards of Eat REAL and the New York State Public Health Association. She is a graduate of Columbia University and the University at Albany School of Public Health and Albany Medical College.

As a writer, JoAnn’s work spans memoir, fiction, poetry, and performance. A Pushcart and Best American Essays nominee, her essays have appeared in The Guardian— “This story isn’t about the priest who abused me. It’s about my mother.” , Chicago Story Press “How Do You Forgive the Unforgivable?”, and The DewDrop“Passersby” . She is the author of the novel Howard Be Thy Name and the cross-genre collection Dream Alibis,, and writes the Substack The Second Silence. Her essay “Mugwort” received distinction in the 2025 Writer’s Digest Personal Essay Awards, and “The Archivist,” created in collaboration with photographer Sarah Blesener, is forthcoming in North American Review. JoAnn is represented by Barbara Jones at Stuart Krichevsky Literary Agency.

Today we focus our conversation on The Hope Model that JoAnn began exploring over 5 years ago. We talk about hopelessness and its many forms and how an awareness of the 4 elements of The Hope Model - Survival, Mastery, Attachment and Spirituality - can help to build hope.

The Hope Institute offers Hope Assessments as well as The Oxford Compendium of Hope. Stay tuned to their work as they continue to offer resources and support to a world that sometimes feels in dire need of more hope.

406 The Feminine Frequency of Wintering

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann and Jennifer Mulak) — Tue, 23 Dec 2025 01:00:00 +0000

It's time for the Feminine Frequency when Jennifer Mulak and I wander through a subject that's near and dear to our hearts, Winter. Inspired by the book Wintering by Catherine May, we talk about Winter's meaning and how we "intend" to shift our own ways of being during this special time of darkness and rest. But, first, we check in on how we spent the Solstice, and appreciate how ritual can have meaning even when there's not a lot of extra time for it. We consider what "rest" is, and how we relate to it, how we notice and redirect that internal voice that is stuck in habits that don't currently serve, the Wintering times in life that do not necessarily coincide with the Winter season, and contemplate the meaning of Kim Kran's Archetype card, "The Faultline" which I pulled last week for this season.

405 "Solstice Vibes"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 01:00:00 +0000

Had to do a last minute pivot for today's show when my planned guest was unable to join, so as I've done in year's past, I'll be bringing some solstice vibes to the airwaves. Inspired by some recently spotted social posts about the erasure of European spirituality by way of Christianity, and stumbling upon some ancestral (German) practices for this time of the year, I bring you today's show with solstice happenings and age old traditions.

Past guest, Anastasia Wasko is offering an online creative writing workshop, Bringing Light to Darkness on Sunday, the 21st between 12-2 Eastern. Anastasia was listening in to the show today, and called in at the end which was a super special surprise treat. Happy Birthday to her!

Past guest MuggaRose is offering free shipping from her website using code IAMYOURWITCH2025.

Strange Love Shop in Saugerties, is offering Aura Photos / Readings and if they mention Kingston Radio she'll honor a special B1G1 1/2 off on any aura package or Aura gift /mix and match!

Spiral Mirror is offering two solstice events, Earth Oracle Readings by Liridona 1-4pm on the 21st and a Winter Solstice Gathering in collaboration with Jaguar Mary X from 6:30-8:30pm.

Cosmic Mother Solstice Juniper Distilling in the Rondout on Dec. 20th.

The Bridge Meditation and Book Signing on Dec. 21st.

Gargie Verma has a new song out!

Here's today's playlist and the offering I mentioned to connect to the lost tradition of song by Danica Boyce.

The Magic of 13 Wishes

German Girl in America

My foreshadowing New Moon // Solstice archetype Kim Krans cards are The Temple, The Faultline, and The Father. More about them soon...

404 "The Emerald Tablet" with Eliza Swann and Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Marielena Ferrer, Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 9 Dec 2025 01:00:00 +0000

For our second to last Spirituality and Politics on Radio Kingston, Marielena and I are joined by returning guest, Eliza Swann - writer, educator, artist and alchemist, to continue our conversation into The Emerald Tablet.

Last month on the show, we focused on the first paragraph of the Tablet. Today, we revisit it with Eliza, who shares their depth of knowledge and experience in working with the text. Eliza then carries us into the second paragraph with a strong analogy that helps to make sense of this somewhat esoteric text, the bridge between the ineffable and the mundane.

"True, without falsehood, certain and most true, that which is above is as that which is below, and that which is below is as that which is above, for the performance of the miracles of the One Thing. And as all things are from One, by the mediation of One, so all things have their birth from this One Thing by adaptation. The Sun is its father, the Moon its mother, and the Wind carries it in its belly, its nurse is the Earth. This is the father of all perfection, or consummation of the whole world. Its power is integrating, if it be turned into earth.

Thou shalt separate the earth from the fire, the subtle from the gross, suavely, and with great ingenuity. It ascends from earth to heaven and descends again to earth, and receives the power of the superiors and of the inferiors. So thou hast the glory of the whole world; therefore let all obscurity flee before thee. This is the strong force of all forces, overcoming every subtle and penetrating every solid thing. So the world was created. Hence were all wonderful adaptations, of which this is the manner. Therefore am I called Hermes Trismegistus, having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world. What I have to tell is completed, concerning the Operation of the Sun."

Tune in to our last on air Spirituality and Politics conversation on January 12th as we welcome in a new year and new beginnings. While this show will conclude its on air presence at Radio Kingston at the end of January, it will continue as a podcast, and Marielena is sure to return for more conversations as we move forward in a new way.

403 Amanda Marlowe "Eco Art and Cycles of Life"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 2 Dec 2025 01:00:00 +0000

Today on the show I get to chat with Amanda Marlowe! She guides thoughtful art experiences that ask kids life's big questions. She develops curriculum for nature non-profits schools, museums, and businesses. Amanda holds a BSA in Philosophy and Education from Skidmore College and is currently writing a children’s book on death. Her business, Eco Art, is a thoughtful art experience on sustainability and impermanence for kids. A trash art offering designed to interact with the byproduct of creation. All bits and bobs upcycled. Materials supplied, though feel free to byot (bring your own trash)!

Amanda shares how and why she began to work with children through the medium of upcycled art. It began really out of her own processing of her birth mother's death and a curiosity about what to do with her belongings. Our conversation touches on themes of grief, loss, letting go, and cycles of life. She also works with children who have lost a loved one, and works with a team of folks at Roula's Kids to support them through their grieving process. It feels important to mention that during our conversation, something opens up for me, and the tears began to flow. We left unresolved her resistance to the label artist, and are still unpacking what to do with the "shoulds" that surface from time to time. Clearly there's more for us to talk about. I could listen to her share her creative ideas for what to do with leftover toys and arts supplies for hours and am excited to try my hand at making paper!

You can find her Mondays at CCE, High Meadow School and contact her for your kiddos special event or if you have items you think she might enjoy transforming with her clients. (Multiples greatly appreciated!)

402 Liridona Duraku "Land Divination"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann, Jennifer Mulak) — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 01:00:00 +0000

It's our monthly chat about The Feminine Frequency with Jennifer and Theresa! Joining us today in conversation is Liridona Duraku, a first generation Albanian American. She currently lives in the Hudson Valley and spends most of her time outdoors studying the local fauna. Liri received a BA from CUNY York in Journalism and Political Science but found herself working in mostly activist spaces. She has a professional background in the food industry, farming and hospitality. Recently she did further study as a special student at SUNY New Paltz studying art and psychology.

Liri is also an herbalist. As a child, herbal remedies and natural medicine was part of her upbringing, she often heard stories of women healers and even got to know a few. She blends her ancestral Balkan knowledge with the various herbal trainings she has done. She has studied with Vanessa Chakour of Sacred Warrior in Brooklyn and Scotland, Clinical Alchemy with Evolutionary Herbalism, Ayurveda with Tribe Yoga in Rishikesh, India, Astro-Herbalism with Judith Hill and Wild Gather in the Hudson Valley.

Liri has published fiction and non-fiction writing and shown work in small local galleries. Her work is primarily oil paintings, charcoal and pastel drawings but recently has been playing in forms of ceramics and sculpture of various materials. She draws inspiration from her experience of diaspora, a child of (non-documented) immigrants fleeing war and ethnic cleansing. She brings in imagery, ritual and mysticism of Balkan culture and themes of plants, animals, folklore, myth and magic can be seen throughout her work.

Today we get to hear about what Land Divination is and how Liri began communicating with the land and its many occupants. The conversation weaves through some of the practical, and often the magical of being in right relationship to the land, plants and animals. She offers monthly Earth Oracle readings and Land Divination workshops at Spiral Mirror in Kingston, NY, as well as an online Land Divination course. You can find her paintings, ceramic work and herbal potions for sale on her website as well as at Pink Clementine in Kerhonkson, NY, Feast and Floret in Hudson, NY and soon at Holding Space in Kingston, NY. Liri offers private reading and ritual sessions as well as custom aura paintings. Contact lirimeansfree@gmail.com for any other inquiries.

Here's the article I mentioned about the Origins of Thanksgiving and the perspectives of 7 Native Americans.

And lastly, the Red Feather Drummers hold monthly talks at the Old Dutch Church.

401 Nicole Nyhan "Kundalini Awakening"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 01:00:00 +0000

Today I get to speak with Nicole Nyhan (they/she) who underwent a Kundalini awakening in 2021 that radically transformed their life. This consciousness and healing journey ultimately led to the creation of The Bridge, a space built to foster individual and communal healing, restoration, and connection.

We get to learn about what Nicole's life looked like prior to their awakening as an agnostic materialist. Then they walk us through some of the events that were likely contributing catalysts for this sudden and unexpected physical and psychological shift. Nicole has spent a lot of time trying to make sense of the physical and emotional experiences they were having. She shares what's she's learned and ponders the meaning of it with me.

We also get into the magic that conjured The Bridge and all the goodness that happens there: cacao, breathwork, womb circles, Queer Witch Club, yoga, Venus Day, astrology, community connection and lots more. Nicole along with the good people and Spiral Mirror also offer monthly opportunities for connection with others who've had similar awakening moments.

400 "The Emerald Tablet" with Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Marielena Ferrer, Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 01:00:00 +0000

It's Episode 400!!! A perfect day for Mariaelena and I to finally dive in to...The Emerald Tablet of Hermes. It's something she has been referring to from the days of us first plotting this monthly collaboration, and since I started to explore alchemy, it's been of interest for me to go deeper. This is the translation we're working from for purposes of our conversation.

Marielena ties the Tarot to the Tablet, and we work through some of the meaning and purpose of the text. This may be cringy for those of you well steeped in the text, but it's a window into the beginner's mind and how someone, like myself, is coming to it seeking an understanding of how it's relevant to the art of living. We explore the notion of the "One Thing," what are miracles, and what it means to be perfected. Is it a formula for creating, for being like "GOD?" We've got more to go and will continue in our next conversation in December.

399 Michele Zipp "Resisterhood" and Mothh and KWD "The Oldest Profession"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 4 Nov 2025 01:00:00 +0000

Woah, this is a show FULLLLL of goodness today! First up is Michele Zipp, a Wedding Officiant and ritualist, Reiki Master, writer, editor, and founder of Resisterhood New Paltz. They are well into their Red Tent Drive where the community comes together to donate menstrual hygiene products for those in need. All donations go to Family of New Paltz and their affiliates. Historically, this drive helps folks at Family throughout the year until the next drive. That’s where you come in … helping them by donating maxi pads or money so they can purchase pads. Pads only as per Family and what’s most requested and needed.

They'll be celebrating the end of their drive with a Period Party, hoping to push the donations over the top, and celebrating their partners all in the name of dignity and love on Sunday, November 16th from 1pm until 2:30pm at Redeemer Church in New Paltz. With performances by Perennial and Resisterhood Community Choir featuring members of the B2s! Enter to win their amazing raffle — dinner and grounds tickets for two at Mohonk Mountain House. Enjoy some sweet treat offerings in our Bake Sale. A box/bag of pads will get you in the door (or a $10 suggested donation). Raffle tickets for Mohonk are $20.The drive ends November 30th and red tent boxes are located at Elting and Gardiner Library, The L Salon, Lush, Chroma, JEM, and Le Shag in Kingston.

For those of you interested, Resisterhood Choir practice time is Mondays at 6pm at the Marbletown Community Center, by donation. And here's Resisterhood, the organization, on Facebook. You can also send an email to resisterhoodnewpaltz@gmail.com.

Next on the show, I welcome two inspiring humans and hosts of the "show of the year," The Oldest Profession at Unicorn Bar Nov 14 Friday Nov 14 | Doors 5 pm | Show 6:30pm. The evening will include a dual pole performance by Ashley Molesso + Gentle Mothh, a 1 hour Performance - comedic history of Whore's written and performed by Kaytlin Bailey, and the Ishtar Collective Mutual Aid Table. Early Bird Tickets are $12 - $22 and $30 at the door

Joining me in conversation are Gentle Mothh, a queer, Southern, Taiwanese American artist and entertainer based in Kingston, NY whose work spans fashion, music, and advocacy. Her debut book,Giving Body, about lived experience and community around erotic labor, is out this fall with Eureka! Press. She is a student of Traditional Chinese Medicine and teaches live Qigong classes on her Substack “Gentle, gentle.”

And KWD (they/she) who has been a sex worker their entire adult life, holding a variety of roles in the adult industry throughout their career, and an active advocate for LGBTQ+ and gender-based rights just as long. The flexibility of their work has allowed them to be a dedicated community organizer: distributing medical supplies and meals to working class comrades and unhoused neighbors. Joining with The Ishtar Collective in 2022 created a path beyond local efforts and into state legislative and cultural initiatives to humanize and decriminalize erotic laborers and their clients. She is passionate about inclusive community organizing and invites you to reach out by email to learn more and get involved! kwd@ishtarcollective.org

Our conversation serves as an introduction to the issues faced by and harm caused to sex workers by way of our current laws controlling their behavior and the behavior of their clients. KWD asks us to call Governor Hochul 1-518-474-8390 and ask that she sign the legislation that has passed both houses of our state government and is sitting somewhere in her office. This Immunity legislation - A.1029-B / S.3967-B - is an "act to amend the penal law, in relation to individuals engaged in prostitution who are victims of or witnesses to a crime." Call today!

They walk me through some of the prevailing topics related to sex work that are deserving of a deeper conversation - body autonomy, perceived victimhood, feminism, choice, censorship, religious freedom, and the need for full decriminalization as opposed to partial decriminalization.

We get a peek into the personal talking to Mothh about her BEAUTIFUL book and what self care looks like for both of them.

You can get a sneak peak into the magic happening on Nov. 14th by joining them for Tarte happening on Sunday November 9, Doors 4pm, show 5pm at C. Cassis, 108 Salisbury Turnpike, Rhinebeck - featuring Lex Powell @lex_growl Joss Lake @joss.e.lake Stephanie Kaylor @stemkay Kaytlin Bailey @kaytlinbailey

398 Cheyanne Disè aka Muggarose "Samhain and Beyond the Veil"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann, Jennifer Mulak) — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This week's show, a conversation on The Feminine Frequency with Jennifer Mulak, we welcome Cheyanne Disé aka MuggaRose to join us. A Catskill-based psychic, medium, and ceremonial artist, she recently arrived from New Orleans. Her lifelong exploration of the unseen began in 1988, when she first immersed herself in the study of parapsychology, past lives, and hauntings.

Guided by intuition and ritual, MuggaRose’s artwork carries a deep spiritual resonance. Her creations, often inspired by ceremony and ancestral memory, are collected both nationally and internationally.

Throughout her journey, MuggaRose has deep-dived into a wide range of performance offerings—from the ghostly movements of butoh, to the transformative experience of motherhood, to fronting radical punk bands. Each expression informs her spiritual and artistic practice today.

As a devoted spiritualist and seeress, she weaves community ceremonies from coast to coast, helping others connect with spirit, intuition, and the natural cycles of renewal.

Her debut book, Sundries for the Soul, invites readers to embrace spiritual hygiene, transform daily routines into sacred rituals, developing relationships with the medicinal plant spirits for energy work and learn to trust their own intuition. Through her art, teachings, and ceremonies, MuggaRose offers a living practice of connection, transformation, and reverence for the unseen world as healing and self awakening.

Today we get into the magic and practices of Samhain. MuggaRose shares her years of experience in relating to and honoring her ancestors through ancestral altars and offerings. We explore many related aspects of being in connection with our ancestors, including shadow work and the practice of presence. She shares stories and tales related to the holiday including past public ceremonial experiences and what they've revealed to her. She has a public ceremony this weekend to honor Ereshkigal, Queen of the Underworld who permits the passing of spirits to visit when the veils are thin. Join MuggaRose and Gabrielle Heron on Sunday, November 2nd at the Maetreum of Cybele in Palenville, NY. Arrive by 5pm to make the procession. If you're feeling inspired bring an offering to be made to the earth for Ereshkigal and some nibbles to share with the living following the ritual. She's also holding space for readings on Saturdays at Strange Love in Saugerties from Noon to 5, a place where you can also find a copy of her latest publication, Sundries...

397 Viktorsha Uliyanova "Quieter than Water, Lower than Grass"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Today on the show, I get to chat with Marielena Ferrer and Viktorsha Uliyanova, a multidisciplinary artist and educator working with alternative photography, installation, video, and fiber art. Her work explores impermanence, the notions of home, and cultural identity narrated through the prism of memory. Her practice is informed by her upbringing in the Soviet Union, political repression, and the immigrant experience. In her research, Uliyanova explores neglected and overlooked histories, often using archives as a catalyst for her work. She received her BA in English Literature, Language, and Criticism from Hunter College and an MFA in Photography and Related Media at State University of New York at New Paltz. Her work has been exhibited at Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, Baxter St., MOMA PS1, Participant Inc, Collarworks, among others. She is the recipient of New York State Council on the Arts Grant, Arts Mid-Hudson Culture Grant, Traverso Photography Award, Women’s Studio Workshop SAI Grant, Sojourner Truth Diversity Fellowship, and Research for Creative Projects Grant. Recently, she completed a residency at Vermont Studio Center. She lives in the Hudson Valley and teaches photography at SUNY New Paltz.

Viktorsha's upcoming solo exhibit “Quieter than Water, Lower than Grass” is a multimedia installation that examines the fragility of memory and its impact on history, immigrant narratives ,and cultural identity. This work explores themes of migration, belonging, and domesticity. The opening is November 8 at Roundabouts Now Gallery in Kingston, with a panel discussion on November 16 featuring Marielena, Viktorsha, and two additional women artists whose work addresses these same themes.

Today, we talk about the meaning of the show title, and how this Russian idiom permeated culture and played a role in repression and control. Viktorsha shares about the layers of her creative process and how this show came to be. We discuss some of the pieces, their meaning, the process in creating them, and the meaning behind that process. One of the main pieces in the exhibition is an installation of suspended large scale cyanotypes of "Brezhnevka"s, prefabricated panel buildings that were built in the Soviet Union from 1964-1980. They were built fast and cheap and can still be found and seen throughout former Soviet states. Our conversation weaves through themes of assimilation, (uniform)ity, culture, healing, memory, domestication, femininity, the multidimensionality of softness, and belonging.

Viktorsha's Project Statement: “Quieter Than Water, Lower than Grass’” is a multimedia project that explores the intersection between history, memory, and photographic evidence. The work employs analogue photographic processes , fabric, and video to explore remembrance, storytelling, and ancestral healing. Drawing from family albums, oral histories, and archival images, I construct narratives
that have been hidden by the Soviet regime and are often invisible within the dominant historical discourse. The project takes its name from an old Soviet proverb which instills a behavior of keeping a low profile, avoiding any attention from the self, and acting in a way that does not
generate conflict. The phrase has been used as a deliberate linguistic tool to disseminate imperialist ideologies, generate fear, and maintain repressive socio-political tactics throughout the USSR. This project outlines the importance of critically engaging with mainstream narratives
in order to unlearn them and see their limitations and biases.

Quilts are powerful conveyors of the human experience. They are valuable historical documents and memory transmitters that honor storytelling and intergenerational knowledge. Using bed sheets , I hand-sew patchwork of imagery into quilt forms preserving not only my personal memories but also those obscured within the larger cultural and geo-political discourse.Each fabric piece will source from historical documents, family albums, and collected objects to explore, visualize, and underscore the complexity of post-Soviet trauma and immigrant experience. Blue is a color of peace, a color found in our dreams, our hopes, and our memories. It is the color of the sky, water, and our planet, Earth. The cyanotype process uses the natural elements of sun and water to register a photograph. While it is stable, the final result is prone to changing over time. Using this photographic technique allows me to address all of the themes that show up in my work such as identity, history, and memory, all of which are fragmented, mutating, and ever-changing.

The project combines a collection of materials and techniques that reference matrilineage, ancestry, and transgenerational trauma. Through layering of fabrics and utilizing the deep blue hues of the cyanotype process, the work visualizes histories that have been hidden, obscured, and lost. The project examines the selective nature of memory, challenging historical biases and emphasizing the importance of community knowledge and healing. The final project will be presented to the public in an exhibition fostering cultural exchange, community dialogue, and
bridging the gap between the personal and collective memories.

Here's your New Moon Astrology!

395 Elle Kelsheimer "Degrowth at Home"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 7 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Today on the show I get to speak with Elle Kersheimer. She is formerly a Nielsen Norman Group-certified UX Designer and Researcher with a coding background who is now a developer of PC games including Veil of Dust, a homesteading game. She has a B.A in Arts and Letters from Portland State University and an A.S in Multimedia from Portland Community College.

She along with several friends founded Degrowth at Home, a website and a movement designed to share information about Voluntary Simplicity as an effort to encourage Degrowth Culture in our community. They believe that together, we can shift the focus of the economy to meet real people's needs rather than the whims of shareholders.

Elle takes us into the very inspiring world of Degrowth with some top impactful tips on what you can do, hint, no more doom scrolling. Her approach to Degrowth is realistic and compassionate offering that the best Degrowth is the Degrowth you will do. She explains how Degrowth fits into a steady state economy and shares some ideas and creative imagination on what a steady state economy might practically look like. If you're interested in learning more, their website is an excellent resource for learning and doing. She also offered Wisecrack as a fun way to learn more as well as the book, The Day the World Stops Shopping.

You can catch Elle every other Wednesday for game night at Rough Draft.

394 Natasha Williams "The Parts of Him I Kept"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Today on the show, I speak with Natasha Williams. She has an MA from the University of Pennsylvania and attended the Bread Loaf School of English and the Bread Loaf Writers Conference. Her memoir and debut book, THE PARTS OF HIM I KEPT (Apprentice House. 2025), is an intimate account of a daughter’s coming of age in the face of her father’s schizophrenic unraveling. Williams investigates the limits of our medical and cultural understanding of schizophrenia while chronicling the shared burden and benefits of caring for a mentally ill family member. In the tradition of Ocean Vuong’s On Earth We Are Briefly Gorgeous and Robert Kolker’s Hidden Valley Road, this is one family’s story that asks us to consider the ways mental illness is as much a social issue as a biological condition and illuminates ways we find hope, and even thrive in the face of the extraordinary challenge of mental illness.

Excerpts and essays have been published in the Bread Loaf Journal, Change Seven, LIT, Memoir Magazine, Onion River Review, Writers Digest, Writers Read, Post Road, and South Dakota Review.

Today Natasha shares about her childhood and the special if not sometimes challenging relationship she had with her farther. We get a glimpse into the stories she shares in her book and the reasons for writing it. It's more than a personal story, it's a window into what we're lacking broadly in society when it comes to what we value and how we care for each other.

She'll be in PROVINCETOWN, MA, Saturday, October 4, 2025. Event details HERE. Then in HIGH FALLS, NY, Sunday, October 26th, 4pm, 2025 at Blue Heron Books, 1209 NYS Route 213. Event details HERE.

The book is available at local bookstores as well as online, and if you're shopping online and what to support your local book sellers, check out Bookshop.org.

393 Dr. Catherine Svehla "Myth Matters and Inanna's Descent"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann, Jennifer Mulak) — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Happy Autumnal Equinox! Today on the show, Jennifer Mulak and I share our conversation with Dr. Catherine Svehla @drcsvehla ✨ a storytelling scholar and consultant in the field of mythology/depth psychology, artist, creativity coach, outdoorswoman, lover of the Mysteries, mentor in the mythic life and host of the Myth Matters Podcast. She helps people reframe their questions or their story, and explore the connection between being true to oneself and spiritual growth. She believes there’s an inner knowing, a source of direction and truth in your psyche that’s waiting for you to rediscover it. Dr. Svehla will be at the Arts Society of Kingston this Thursday, September 25th from 7-9pm for a workshop supporting folks to go deeper into the myth of the Transformation and the Myth of Inanna Workshop where folks will be invited to "EXPLORE THE ROLE OF TRANSFORMATION IN YOUR LIFE THROUGH A GUIDED JOURNEY INTO THE ANCIENT MYTH OF THE GODDESS INANNA AND SEED YOUR PSYCHE FOR DEEPER ENGAGEMENT WITH THE GREATER MYSTERIES RITUAL-PERFORMANCE AT WIDOW JANE MINE." Previous knowledge of the myth is not required.

During our conversation, Dr. Svehla takes us through her own journey from confusion to creativity and how myth and consciousness helped to shape her own clarity and the way in which she now supports others. Her dissertation on the archetypal exploration of The Law of Attraction in American self-help culture folds into our conversation as we unravel some of the myth of unlimited human potential. Two hours was not nearly enough time to explore these rich topics that she surfaces for herself and others in her work. We're still in deep contemplation...

Jennifer and I close the show with some sharing on the Equinox and the transition into and through this new season.

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.

392 Odeya Nini's "Free Voice" and Tanya Himeji Romero's "Woodland Pantry"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Today on the show, I am joined by two magical women whose work has woven into my world in a special way. In the first half of the show I get to speak with Odeya Nini, a Los Angeles based interdisciplinary vocalist and composer. At the locus of her interests are performance practices, gesture, textural harmony, tonal animation, and the illumination of minute sounds, in works spanning chamber music to vocal pieces and collages of musique concrète. Her solo vocal work extends the dimension and expression of the voice and body, creating a sonic and physical panorama of silence to noise and tenderness to grandeur.

Odeya's work has been presented at venues and festivals across the US and internationally, such as The LA Phil, Merkin Concert Hall, The Broad Museum, and MONA from Los Angeles to Australia, Mongolia, Madagascar and Vietnam. Her solo performance of I See You was included in the The New Yorker’s 10 notable performances of 2021. Odeya is also a member of the 3 time Grammy nominated ensemble Wild Up and is the founder of Free The Voice, leading vocal sound meditations, workshops and retreats exploring the transformative and healing qualities of embodying the voice.

Odeya holds a BFA from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music and an MFA in composition from California Institute of the Arts. She's joining me by way of Zoom today for our talk, but she'll be in Kingston soon, September 24th actually and offering HEALING VOICE OF DEEP RELEASE: A VOCAL EMBODIMENT WORKSHOP prior to Kelli Scarr's Greater Mysteries Cave Experiences at the Widow Jane Mine September 26 and 27.

Then in the second half of the show, I am joined by Tanya Himeji Romero, a multi-disciplinary artist and energetic alchemist whose vision for over a decade has materialized in her work and devotional practices as a forest farmer, plant steward and intuitive culinary herbalist. While she believes any medium can be used to communicate our creativity, reverence and inherent connection, she is especially devoted to the realms of nourishment inspired by that which activates and attunes the inherent potential of our bodies as instrument, vessel and channel.

She has worked as a creative director in the fashion industry, as a team manager for the world’s largest wild simulated ginseng farm, in botanical product development and manufacturing, as well as a farmer and as a cook. The guidance of nature has led her home to her calling as a conduit for plant medicines to be regeneratively utilized in this world. All being is relatedness and at heart, we all desire to be heard, seen and respected. This is the reality she communicates and cultivates within her work.

Amongst other offerings here in the Hudson Valley, she is also a collaborator to Kelli Scarr's Greater Mysteries Cave Experiences and will be offering an opportunity to nourish oneself and connect with EATING FROM THE TREE OF KIN - AN INTEGRATION NOURISHMENT EXPERIENCE on September 28th at The Bridge in Kingston. An intimate gathering of intentional co-nourishment to bridge and create greater integration in our relational field. Next up Tanya is offering sacred conscessions at the Misery Mother music and more gathering at The Local on October 24th.

391 Taína Asili "Fever Pitch Pilgrimage"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann, Marielena Ferrer) — Tue, 9 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Taína Asili, a dynamic New York-based Puerto Rican singer, composer, interdisciplinary artist, and educator carrying on the tradition of her ancestors, fusing past and present struggles into one soulful and defiant voice. She is celebrated by NPR, Rolling Stone, and Billboard for her soulful, genre-blending music echoing calls for love and liberation. With powerful vocals and a multi-genre fusion traversing salsa, rock, reggaeton, Afrobeat, and other global sounds, Asili’s music is both unique and deeply rooted. Accompanied by her brilliant ensemble, she delivers energetic performances at diverse venues nationwide – from iconic stages such as Carnegie Hall with Toshi Reagon, to renowned festivals like the main stage of San Francisco Pride, to historic events like The Women’s March on Washington, to numerous colleges and conferences – inspiring audiences to dance to the heartbeat of social change.

She joins us on the show to share about the inspiration and motivation for her upcoming 150 mile walk from Albany to NYC for Climate Justice. She'll be arriving in Kingston on Sept. 16th, walking through the Sojourner Truth State Park, and stopping at the Kingston Point Beach at approximately 3:30 PM for a song offering. She'll likely arrive in the park around 2:30 if you want to join in the walk to the beach. The next day, on Sept. 17th they will perform their new climate justice multimedia show Fever Pitch at Unicorn Bar. Then on the morning of the 18th they'll be at the Red Fox Ravine in Kingston for a song offering and continuing on their walk to New Paltz.

Midway through the journey, she will sail from Newburgh to Haverstraw (9/21) aboard the historic Clearwater. The pilgrimage will then continue on foot into New York City, culminating during New York Climate Week with a final performance of the walk at UPROSE in Brooklyn (9/26).

The Fever Pitch Pilgrimage is supported by a growing list of sponsors and partners including grassroots organizations, artists, and community leaders. A GoFundMe campaign and sponsorship drive are currently underway to support artist fees, accommodations, and free/sliding scale performances throughout the route.

390 Eliza Swann "The Alchemical Imagination"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 2 Sep 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Eliza Swann, also known as Emerald, is a writer, artist, alchemist and scholar based in New York. Swann's formative years cultivated a deep interest in the intertwined studies of mysticism and fine art, which remain central to their work as both artist and educator. Swann received a BA in Painting from the San Francisco Art Institute (2004) and an MFA from Central St. Martins in London (2012). Additionally, Swann is an initiate in Gnostic and Hermetic orders, has studied Vedic cosmology with Dr. Vagsish Shastri, trained in mindfulness meditation at the Insight Meditation Society, and studied herbalism and gardening under the guidance of their witch aunt. These studies inform their expansive approach to esoteric and ecological practices.

Swann teaches art and mysticism as a unified practice and, in 2014, founded Golden Dome, an artist-in-residence program rooted in queer intersectional mysticism. Since its inception, Golden Dome has expanded to offer nationwide exhibitions, residencies, publications, and educational programming. Swann is currently faculty at Pratt Institute, where they teach “The Alchemical Imagination”, a course they created to introduce alchemical concepts to contemporary creative practice. In 2025, Swann transitioned from directing Golden Dome to launch a new initiative: Emerald School, which explores alchemy as a living, transdisciplinary practice.

As a visual artist, Swann has exhibited internationally, most recently at the University of California Santa Cruz and the Feminist Center for Creative Work in Los Angeles. They are the author of The Anatomy of the Aura, Green Mary, and The Alchemical Imagination, and have contributed to numerous publications. Their work has been supported by PEN America, the Foundation for Contemporary Art, the Author’s League Fund, the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, the Pratt Faculty Development Fund, the Feminist Center for Creative Work, the Hemera Fellowship for Contemplative Practice, and the Wassaic Project.

Today Eliza shares about their roots, literally, the gardens of their aunt and a return to them after living and traveling beyond. We talk about alchemy and how it folds many disciplines, prayer, devotion, poetry, intuition... into its being. Eliza recalls teachers both direct and indirect and what they're work surfaced. We discuss grief and how alchemy has supported them in navigating both the personal and the global. The Emerald School is the container for their work where they guide folks through the stages of alchemy including a freeing of self and specialty, to move into deeper collaboration with all. "The school becomes a crucible: a space where diverse elements converge, disciplinary boundaries blur, and new ways of knowing can take shape."

We talk about their upcoming 9 week online course, "The Alchemical Imagination," Sept. 14-Nov. 16, and their upcoming offering as a part of the O+ Festival, "The Star Inside: Alchemy and the Power of Plants" and why mugwort became a part of the conversation.

389 "Navigating the Void" with Beth Carestia

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Jennifer Mulak, Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This month on the Feminine Frequency with Jennifer Mulak, we sit down with a dear friend Beth Carestia. Living in the Hudson Valley for almost two decades Beth has come to love our vibrant and diverse community. Local Tarot Reader, proud O+ Alum performer with The Goddess Party and soon to be the MC for the O+ Festival Comedy Show second year running.

Playing faithfully with the Rosendale Ukulele group for some time now has brought Beth joy beyond measure. Also being Beth's fifth time contributing her voice to a Radio Kingston show, all have become sparkling personal highlights.

We chat with Beth about recently leaving her 9-5 and stepping into what's next. How the yearning to do something more aligned with her passion and purpose started brewing long before the leap, how the loss of the structure has nudged her to look more deeply inward and importantly, how she values and cares for herself. We talk about how she’s approaching life with less structure, more joy and a lot of compassion for self. Having all been there in one way or the other, we all vibe about what it is to be in that liminal space, sometimes called the void or the underworld, between where you've been and where you're going.

This past weekend’s New Moon is perfectly aligned with what we’re talking about and where we’re at.

388 Diana Wassef "Menstrual Cycle and Natural Fertility Coach"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Diana Wassef is a Lebanese-Egyptian living in upstate New York with her lovely husband Patrick and two furry creatures Qi-Qi & Umpa. Her work centers on menstrual cycle awareness, natural fertility, and cyclical living as a path to deeper embodiment. She guides women toward reconnecting with their inner rhythm, and runs Cremona Studios — a sustainable fashion label rooted in the phases of the cycle and the stories woven within them.

We begin our conversation hearing about Diana's background, her love for Lebabon and why she left. After suffering for most of her life with painful menstrual cycles, she at last finds a course that awakens her to a new relationship to her cycle and cyclical living. She shares about the 4 phase cycle and how this awareness transformed her life. After years of building this new relationship and some additional training, she now supports women who are seeking a deeper relationship with their cycle, whether it be because of the inherent beauty of it, or because of a specific need to balance things out or support a fertility journey. Diana shares honestly about her own fertility journey and the two pregnancy losses she's experienced in this past year. We get a little personal together about these loses we've both experienced and how we hope having these conversations will help to normalize the discussion around pregnancy loss to better support those experiencing it.

We also dip into her clothing line, and how she went from a goth designer to one aligned with the seasons of the menstrual cycle. Yes, you heard "Bloody Romper."

She offers regular "womb circles" in the area. Stay in tuned via her IG account for all the goodness.

387 Spirituality and Politics "Knowing Oneself"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 12 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This week on Spirituality and Politics with Marielena Ferrer, we are inspired by the Know Thyself Podcast and dive into what it means to know oneself.

Today on the show Robyn shares some of her story of how she got to the point of burnout and what her healing journey has looked like. Similar to her book, our conversation weaves through her story and practical wisdom that she's uncovered as a part of her journey, from the aha moment reading Woman Who Glows in the Dark to overcoming the uncomfortable stillness she'd avoided for decades. Robyn is honest, passionate, and generous with her knowledge.

us manna and well earned instructions on survival and how to live life fully,
courageously and with joy.”

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Today on The Feminine Frequency, Jennifer Mulak and I talk about Intuition. But first! We revisit the use of the word "feminine" and why we're working with it, despite feedback that it can feel prickly (my words).

So what is intuition? Where does it come from? Why is it undervalued? How do you recognize it? How has it come up in our own lives? How do you cultivate it? Just some of the topics we consider and share on today's show. Here's the book, Everyday Intuition Jennifer recommended on intuition.

And a Happy Birthday to our Leo Friends! Come celebrate with Sarah Carlson this Saturday at the Unicorn in Kingston... Solarize Dance Party.

384 Merritt Minnemeyer "Creativity, Faith and Rebuilding After Loss"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Today on the show... Merritt Minnemeyer is on a mission to eradicate executive mediocrity in entertainment, innovation, and the arts.

As the Founder of Master of One Coaching, LLC she employs 25 years of leadership experience, her background in performance and production, and her entrepreneurial DNA in guiding visionaries to exceed expectations, including their own.

She is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) by the International Coaching Federation, a “recovering” actor, an international speaker, and a passionate catalyst of the conscious business movement. She holds a BFA in Acting from NYU/Tisch School of the Arts, a Masters of Professional Studies, and several specialized coaching certifications.

Having rebuilt her life after being widowed at 35 with 3 young, “neuro-spicy” kids, Merritt believes that conscious, creative leaders are the #1 key to a thriving future, and that anything is possible when inspired people channel their power for good with excellence, integrity, and artistry.

She lives with her darling husband of 10 years, Tom, their now nearly grown kids, and their menagerie of furbabies in the Hudson Valley, NY.

Merritt shares about her early interest in theater, how that evolved and eventually soured a bit to encourage her to broaden her horizons. After marriage and many physically and emotionally difficult years trying to conceive, the stars aligned for her and her then husband Peter to adopt their first child. A move and 2 foster children later, Peter is diagnosed with cancer and passes before the twins are legally adopted. Merritt miraculously survives a year where she loses her father, husband and grandfather, and is left to navigate the challenges of her grown family. With time and the support of many, she is on the other side thriving and engaged in purposeful work supporting executives and their organizations she feels passionate about. Our conversation is full of inspiration, honesty and hope. You can learn more about Merritt's work via her website and take her creative leadership style quiz here.

Happy New Moon this Thursday!

383 Spirituality and Politics "Living Together and Making Art in the County Jail"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 15 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

It's Theresa and Marielena talking the art of living together on Spirituality and Politics. First up, a share about a special local happening. On Sunday, July 21, Hey Neighbor Food Club is hosting their first event at the Old Dutch Church in Kingston (4–6pm). It’s a preorder-and-pickup food event featuring handmade dishes -- tamales, pupusas, empanadas -- prepared by a small group of incredible local chefs, most of whom are female immigrants launching their very first food businesses.

The chefs are part of the Briico Food Academy, which helps new entrepreneurs build sustainable income, community connections, and confidence through food, without needing outside capital or formal business experience. Each meal tells a story of migration, tradition, and resilience, and proceeds go directly to the chefs.

Marielena shares her experience teaching art to women incarcerated at the Ulster County Jail and the many interactions that taught her about them and their lives including surprising insights through the vision boards the women created, their creative writing exercises, and how they collaborated with one another. Through that experience she shares her thoughts about how living together in an incarcerated setting can teach us about the art of living together in a broader community. The womens' art "Voices Unbound" is currently exhibited at Unison in New Paltz now through August 31st.

This weekend is Upstate Art Weekend. Lots is happening, including some amazing events at Unison.

382 Singha Hon "Visual Storyteller and Community Caretaker"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 8 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Singha Hon is a visual artist, illustrator, designer, and educator from New York City.

Her work is inspired by nature, dreams, community, and mythology, and the many threads that weave us all together. As a teaching artist, she has taught on subjects ranging from drawing, portraiture, sculpture, printmaking, cyanotyping to an intergenerational cohort of students.

She has worked as a teaching artist with The W.O.W. Project through their storefront residency and through the Creatives Rebuild New York program. She is currently a Public Artist in Residence through the PAIR program with DCLA in NYC.

Her murals and installations exist across New York, including in downtown Manhattan and in Kingston, NY.

Today Singha talks about her early relationship with art and how she eventually finds a way to align her passion for storytelling through art with her values in a way that supports her continued creation. She talks about what inspires her work, nature, mythology and dreams and how these relate to both her personal life and her work. Singha shares the mythology that inspired her Lunar Calendar, "Door Gods, Our Community Protectors," "Black Bear // Dreams of the Mountains," and "Welcoming Dreams, A Return." She speaks passionately about the need to expand the narrative that's available to the collective, including a return to earlier narratives and those to be imagined as a way towards a brighter future. We also meander into shared thoughts on how it can be hard to say "No" unless we're held within a giving culture.

Here's your Full Moon Astrology !

I also mention the Hey Neighbor Food Project which is having it's first pick up on July 21st with a pre-order date of July 16th.

381 Kingston Spotlights with Kristin Kessler

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 1 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000

On this last day of Pride Month and leading up to the 4th of July, I can't help but think of all the ways our freedom is impacted on a regular basis, from how and who we choose to love and marry, how we raise our children, our body autonomy, how we care for our health and make decisions about our body and how to care for it, our ability to be free from the religious views of others, and our freedom to move freely in the world. I share some thoughts and welcome yours in return!

Then I am joined by Kristin Kessler, a project manager in the Department of Health and Wellness for the City of Kingston where she manages New York State grant-funded Creating Healthy School and Communities program (CHSC). CHSC works towards making Kingston a healthier place to live for everyone by supporting policy, system, and environmental changes that increase equitable access to nutritious foods and opportunities for physical activity in our schools and communities. Additionally, she supports Live Well Kingston, in particular the Heal Well and Eat Well focus groups.

As a registered dietitian nutritionist for over a decade, she has worked in a variety of roles from teaching family nutrition workshops to nutrition communications for food brands to advocating for equitable nutritious food access at a large food bank. After exploring the field of dietetics, she ultimately found her greatest passion was in exploring how to make food and healthcare systems more accessible and affordable for everyone. She strongly believes that equitable access to nutritious food is a right, not a privilege.

Kristin lives in Woodstock with her husband, son, and dog, where she is a part of the Woodstock Complete Streets Committee. In her free time she enjoys hiking, biking, teaching yoga, and exploring all of the charming nooks and crannies the Hudson Valley and Catskills have to offer.

Live Well Kingston has launched a new photo and storytelling project, “Kingston Spotlights” which captures the real-life impact of theCreating Healthy Schools and Communities (CHSC) grant, a New York State program, now in its final year of a 5-year grant. CHSC has supported everything from the community-driven design for the new Post Office Park to helping to launch the now annual Spinach Fest at JFK Elementary School, and so much more in between! But in this shifting environment, there’s growing urgency to share not only the impact of these community-based initiatives, but the strength and beauty in local communities like ours in Kingston.

The project consists of documentary photographs and interviews with community members to highlight how they’ve made use of the funds and the impact they’ve had on the community.

Here are some resources from Kristin:

Food Policy Bite- She writes these quarterly. During the show she referenced Food Policy Bites Issue 3 on SNAP: https://livewellkingston.org/food-policy-bites-issue-3/

The stats that she quoted for SNAP-Ed came from the Educational Toolkit on this website: https://savesnaped.org/

If hearing about the positive impacts of SNAP and the potential cuts was interesting to you, she recommends checking out Food Policy Bites Issue 5, which lists a whole bunch of food policy resources: https://livewellkingston.org/food-policy-bites-issue-5/

Keep an eye on the Engage Kingston page for updates soon about the Food System Plan- https://engagekingston.com/food-system-plan

Kristin's email is located here along with the Eat Well Kingston info! And, here's my previous conversation with Kristin about working motherhood.

380 Jennifer Mulak's "Heroine's Journey"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

It's time for The Feminine Frequency! This month, co-host Jennifer Mulak shares with us her own Heroine's Journey.

Jennifer is the founder, alchemist and earth steward behind Cosmic Mother - where she offers a line of botanical skincare, herbal potions, and energy work.

She is a healer, a problem solver, an herbalist, flower practitioner and energy worker, a writer, a recovering rule follower, and a curious student of spiritual teachings. She is delighted to make her home in Shokan, NY with her partner, Ariel, and their two rescue pups.

As she continues to strip away years of programming and societal and familial conditioning, the plants support her every step of the way. She continues to deepen into connection with Nature and the energy around her, and her own internal guidance.

We get to hear about Jennifer's life through the lens of the stages of the Heroine's Journey, from her early separation from the feminine and identification with the masculine to experiencing the boon of success in finance. Jennifer's life on Wall Street started out fun and rewarding, but several years into it, she began feeling its emptiness and yearned for something more. Her intuition and a series of life events led her to plants and a life coach who helped her build a plan that allowed her to begin manifesting her heart and souls dreams. Things haven't always gone as planned. She's had to watch our for patriarchal programming to keep it at bay, but she's quick to catch it and works to keep herself and her life in a healthy balance between the masculine and the feminine.

379 Stephanie Wilson Medlock "An Improbable Companion"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Tue, 17 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Stephanie Wilson Medlock is the author of two magical realism novels, An Improbable Companion, released by Dorrance Publishing in 2025, and The Lives of Things, published 2013. She is the co-founder of the San Miguel International Storytelling Festival, and arranges storytelling events annually in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. A storyteller herself, Medlock performs regularly in the United States and Mexico.

She is also the co-founder of the Writer's Studio at the University of Chicago Graham School, where during her long career she developed the well-known Publishing Program, the Medical Writing and Editing Certificate, the Translation Certificate, and the National Museum Publishing Seminar.

Our conversation begins with her early start as a writer and a reader and her love of fairytales. She pivots in college to pursue a more practical career and finds herself in journalism fighting her way through a man's world clad in her miniskirt as was the fashion in the 70's. She does what's expected of her, marriage, daughter, but manages to carve a meaningful career out of her interests and talents finally getting her first book published in 2013 with her second to follow earlier this year which she'll be reading from at the Elting Library in New Paltz, July 9th at 7pm and in October in Catskill.

378 "There is Another Way" with Marcina Hale of Reconsider

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

It's our monthly conversation about Spirituality and Politics. Joining Marielena and me in the first half of the show today is Marcina Hale, Program Director at Reconsider. She was on the show back in 2019. (Check out show #52 to hear her story). She is an Executive Producer of Fantastic Fungi, Producer of Disturbing the Peace and There is Another Way, and a facilitator for Reconsider's work ”play” shop experiences, which have been held in the U.S. and internationally. Marcina spoke at TEDxKC Women about how to change the world in which we are living. Marcina’s vision is to catalyze the creation of experiences that evoke thought and conversations that both challenge and inspire new ways of relating to ourselves and to life itself.

There Is Another Way tells the story of a group of visionaries who refuse to surrender to violence and injustice, and in doing so show that another path is possible - for them, for us, for all of humanity. As we are all faced with essential questions about who we are, will we choose collective liberation, where the needs, rights, and safety of all are prioritized - in which our humanity comes first, knowing that no one is free until everyone is free.

Combatants for Peace, nominated for two Nobel Peace Prizes, is an extraordinary bi-national group of former enemy combatants -Israelis and Palestinians - working together during an ongoing armed conflict. Faced with the devastation and escalating violence of October 7th and the war in Gaza, the very core of the movement must face great challenges and show that there is another way. The first question they have to face is their own belief... Is this possible?

Reconsider is hosting a virtual screening of the film this Thursday, June 12th and an in person screening at the Rosendale Theater on July 25th.

Our conversation inspires some deep reflection on what we believe is possible, and what we're doing to hold that vision for peace.

Marielena shares info about the upcoming "Voices Unbound," Art Exhibit from incarcerated women at Unison following their Art Spark Program. June 21st opening from 1-5pm. The show will run through July. We talked about Art Spark last month on Spirituality and Politics.

Here's your Full Moon Report!

377 Cornelia Murr "Run to the Center"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 3 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Cornelia Murr is a British-American singer-songwriter. She released her debut album, Lake Tear of the Clouds, in 2018, followed by the EP Corridor in 2022. Her music blends elements of folk, dream-pop, and psychedelic pop, often characterized by ethereal vocals and introspective lyrics. In February 2025, Cornelia released her second full-length album, Run to the Center. The album was produced by singer-songwriter Luke Temple and marked a shift toward a more expansive, confident sound described as "hypnotic pop." She's playing Tubby's in Kingston this Friday, June 6th!

Today, Cornelia shares about her start as a musician and songwriter and gives us a glimpse into how she birthed her music and the meaning behind select songs that we listen to together. Serendipity and flow seem to guide her through life whether it's her musical collaborations or the rebuilding of an historic home in Red Cloud, Nebraska -- the teeny but famous hometown of Willa Cather. Cornelia keeps the conversation real by touching on the burden and fleeting nature of female beauty, the lessons in her romantic misses, and her enthusiastic relationship to astrology. It was a truly lovely conversation that I hope you enjoy!

376 Theresa's Heroine's Journey

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 27 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Today on the show, Jennifer Mulak interviews Theresa as she shares much of her life story through the lens of the Heroine's Journey. Growing up as a "father's daugher" and identifying with career over motherhood, Theresa assimilated with the masculine, finding masculine allies and often being the sole female member of various "boys clubs." When her planned wedding was canceled, it woke her up to the choices she was making in life and how she had drifted far from the things she was truly passionate about. She talks about the struggles to leave the various patriarchal settings, the status and the financial success of that world, and how her journey to become a mother really rooted her in a reclaiming of the feminine and a return to wholeness. Do you have a story that relates to the Heroine's Journey? Let us know how it resonates for you.

Happy New Moon! Here's an essay from Cory Nakasue on Saturn's Entrance into Aries.

375 The Heroine's Journey

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 20 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

I had a last minute change in plans due to a health emergency with my planned guest, but I took that as an opportunity to dig a little deeper into the Heroine's Journey which Jennifer and I will be folding into our conversations on The Feminine Frequency (next week). Here's a rough outline from The Heroine's Journey Project. Let me know if you relate!

HEROINE SEPARATES FROM THE FEMININE. The “feminine” is often a mother/mentor figure or a societally prescribed feminine/marginalized/outsider role.
IDENTIFICATION WITH THE MASCULINE & GATHERING OF ALLIES. The heroine embraces a new way of life. This often involves choosing a path that is different than the heroine’s prescribed societal role, gearing up to “fight” an organization/role/group that is limiting the heroine’s life options, or entering some masculine/dominant-identity defined sphere.
ROAD/TRIALS AND MEETING OGRES & DRAGONS. The heroine encounters trials and meets people who try to dissuade the heroine from pursuing their chosen path, or who try to destroy the heroine.
EXPERIENCING THE BOON OF SUCCESS. The heroine overcomes the obstacles in their way. (This is typically where the hero’s journey ends.)
HEROINE AWAKENS TO FEELINGS OF SPIRITUAL ARIDITY/DEATH. The heroine’s new way of life (attempting the masculine/dominant identity) is too limited. Their success in this new way of life is either temporary, illusory, shallow, or requires a betrayal of self over time.
INITIATION & DESCENT TO THE GODDESS. The heroine faces a crisis of some sort in which the new way of life is insufficient, and the heroine falls into despair. All of the masculine/dominant-group strategies have failed them.
HEROINE URGENTLY YEARNS TO RECONNECT WITH THE FEMININE. The heroine wants to, but is unable to return to their initial limited state/position.
HEROINE HEALS THE MOTHER/DAUGHTER SPLIT. The heroine reclaims some of their initial values, skills, or attributes (or those of others like them) but now views these traits from a new perspective.
HEROINE HEALS THE WOUNDED MASCULINE WITHIN. The heroine makes peace with the “masculine” approach to the world as it applies to them.
HEROINE INTEGRATES THE MASCULINE & FEMININE. In order to face the world/future with a new understanding of themselves and the world/life, the heroine integrates the “masculine” and “feminine” qualities/perspectives. This permits the heroine to see through binaries and to interact with a complex world that includes the heroine but is also larger than their personal lifetime or their geographical/cultural milieu.

We heard music from Cornelia Murr who will be joining me in the studio on June 2nd and playing Tubby's on June 6th.

373 Sovereignty

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Tue, 6 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000

I had a last minute shift in plans for today's show, so I took the opportunity to talk about the subject of Sovereignty starting with a history of cinco de mayo and then shared from Sharon Blackie's, If Women Rose Rooted, where she shares about the Goddess Sovereignty.

As mentioned on the show, here's Katherine Franke's Instagram account if you want a primer on the legal issues that are being raised on the regular.

In other good news, Utopia Upstate from Lucia Cote utopia@utopiaupstate.com, a new communal work space and gallery has one remaining studio space available.

Hot tips...

Becca Piastrelli's "Belonging" podcast is lovely.

372 Gargie Verma "Dhrupad, Vedic Music Medicine"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 29 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Gargie Verma is an award-winning, genre-defying artist whose voice carries the soul of centuries and the spark of modern fire. Gargie’s journey began in a traditional Vedic Hindu family in India, where she was immersed in ancient devotional music from birth. But her destiny was far from conventional. Drawn to the sounds of the world, she has traveled to over 17 countries, absorbing and collaborating across cultures, evolving into a singular voice in global music.

A rare force in today’s musical landscape, Gargie expresses her artistry through multiple powerful identities — each a portal to a different world of sound and spirit. As Halo Reminiscence, she unveils sensual, mystical pop infused with poetry and emotion. With Mama India Music, she offers sacred sound journeys rooted in Dhrupad, Nada Yoga, and rare Vedic traditions, awakening healing and presence through voice. And in her electrifying act Forbidden Lovers, Gargie fuses ancient Indian folk, Sufi, and classical melodies with English hip-hop, EDM, and modern dance music — delivering cinematic, high-energy performances that ignite the senses and turn every stage into a realm of story, rhythm, and rebellion. Forbidden Lovers is not just a show — it’s a dazzling fusion experience that turns the lamp on in the dark.

Having made her mark in Mumbai through Bollywood music and live performances, Gargie has since worked in films, cross-genre music projects, and global festivals, crafting a body of work that’s emotionally raw, spiritually charged, and artistically fearless.

Today, she is deeply rooted in the Dhrupad tradition and committed to preserving and reviving ancient, endangered musical forms from around the world. With every breath and every note, she bridges past and future, earth and cosmos.

Gargie Verma is not just an artist — she is a bridge between worlds, a living symphony of soul, story, and sound.

We talk about Gargie's life journey, her family, finding Dhrupad, her musical projects, freedom, fearlessness, and love. She shares some live music, and we listen to Jugni a song she recorded about the free goddess. She has a sound bath on May 9th, Forbidden Lovers is performing at the Colony on July 11th, and she holds Dhrupad classes on Thursdays and Sundays in Woodstock. You can find all that on her Instagram Accounts MamaIndia, Halo, Forbidden Lovers, and on Facebook.

371 The Feminine Frequency with Jennifer Mulak

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 22 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Today I start an exciting new monthly conversation with Jennifer Mulak, titled The Feminine Frequency which is a reweaving of the feminine ways of being into ourselves, our relations, and the containers and systems that support life in community. Inspired by our own lived experiences and supported by Dr. Sharon Blackie's work and book, If Women Rose Rooted (amongst other wisdom keepers) we hope to explore the undoing of the patriarchal programming that we are all immersed in. On this inaugural show, we share the inspiration for The Feminine Frequency, how it came into its initial shape, some currently relevant feminine practices including pulling a card from Dr. Blackie's Rooted Woman Tarot Deck, and what we hope to explore together and with you in future shows. During our embodiment practice for this show, Jennifer shares some ways the Spring plants can be supportive to you, and I share a little of the New Moon forecast for this Sunday by way of Tanaaz at Forever Conscious. "This New Moon wants us, as much as possible, to focus our attention on the outcome we are after, rather than the problems we are navigating." This is exactly what The Feminine Frequency is about, what do we want our world to look like as we rebalance the feminine with the masculine, and how do we align with that vision.

370 4th Anniversary of Spirituality and Politics

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

It's the 4th anniversary of Spirituality and Politics with Marielena! We start off talking about getting off social media, simplifying life, conflict resolution, and post-patriarchal living. She was recently talking about Leading with Artivism with Poet Gold, and she shared the differences between activist and advocate and why she considers herself an advocate. Inspired by that conversation, we talk about why people are so eager to believe or follow a "leader" or "waiting for superman." Closing the show with the Full Moon report and some self-love, linked below.

How to retrain your brain to crave movement more than screen time...

Full Moon Report!

369 Kelli Scarr "Greater Mysteries"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (death, feminine, Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 8 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Kelli Scarr is an American singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist based in Kingston, NY. She is also the founder of Vera Jean Music, a pioneering record label dedicated to championing the talents of women artists over the age of 40.

On May 12, 2025, she unveils Greater Mysteries, an immersive album and performance experience inspired by the ancient myth of Inanna. Born from a 2022 artist residency in Crete, and recorded in Iceland, the album invites listeners to connect with their own cycles of transformation. Transcendent piano and airy woodwinds intertwine with Scarr’s otherworldly voice and the earthy pulse of the rhythm section, alongside contributions from an array of surprise musicians—creating a soundscape steeped in myth and mystery.

Raised in Northern California, Scarr’s musical journey began in church, eventually leading her to Berklee College of Music before settling in New York City. Over the years, she has woven her way through an eclectic range of projects, from fronting the bands Moonraker and Salt & Samovar to a significant collaboration writing, recording, and touring with Moby. Her artistry extends into film scoring, where her emotive and organic approach—favoring live musicians and improvisation—has set her apart. She earned an Emmy nomination for her score to the HBO documentary In A Dream (2008) and has composed music for dozens of films, TV shows, and commercials. Notable projects include the documentaries Advanced Style and Far Western, and the forthcoming After All (2025), for which she composed the score and contributed six original songs.

As a solo artist, Scarr has released three albums—Piece (2010), Dangling Teeth (2012), and No Rush (2021)—establishing herself as a singular voice in atmospheric, deeply emotive songwriting. Her forthcoming fourth album, Greater Mysteries, marks a new creative chapter, offering music as an initiatory experience. The project will unfold through intimate preview concerts in the Hudson Valley, culminating in immersive cave performances this fall and beyond.

Today we get to dive deep into Kelli's creative process in the making of Greater Mysteries from the seeds of inspiration that came from many sources such as Talk Talk by Spirit of Eden, Maureen Murdock's "The Heroine's Journey," and Dr. Catherine Svehla's mythical wisdom to the whisper from her psychic about Greece in her future. Kelli shares about the magic and mystery of her residency in Crete, how the voices of Odeya Nini and members of the Threshold Choir appeared to lend magic to the album, and we listen to three songs - "Knowing is the Call," "The Yes that Leads," and "Aphrodite" - as we meander through the myth of Inanna and how transformation happens to us..."she's not dying, she's flying free."

Hudson Valley audiences will have an exclusive opportunity to preview Greater Mysteries before the rest of the world. On April 16th, Kelli is hosting Lesser Mysteries at Unicorn Bar in Kingston. The special preview event will feature an impressive lineup of local and national talent and offer attendees a unique opportunity to witness the early stages of what will become a larger, Greater Mysteries immersive cave experience scheduled for fall 2025.

367 Perdita Finn "Take Back the Magic"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Tue, 25 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Perdita Finnis the co-founder, with her husband Clark Strand, of the feral fellowship The Way of the Rose, which inspired their book The Way of the Rose: The Radical Path of the Divine Feminine Hidden in the Rosary. They are currently at work on their next book together Circles Not Lines: Spiritual Community Beyond Patriarchy.

In addition to extensive study with Zen masters, priests, spirit workers, and healers, she apprenticed with the psychic Susan Saxman, with whom she wrote The Reluctant Psychic. Perdita Finn now teaches popular workshops on Getting to Know the Dead. Participants are empowered to activate the miracles in their own lives with the help of their ancestors and recover their own intuitive magic. Her book Take Back the Magic: Conversations with the Unseen World is an intimate journey through her recovery of these lost ways. She speaks widely on how to collaborate with those on the other side, on the urgent necessity of a new romantic animism, and on the sobriety that emerges when we claim the long story of our souls. Her next book is The Body of My Mother.

She lives with her family in the moss-filled shadows of the Catskill Mountains.

Today Perdita shares with us about how the fellowship began... post-patriarchy... the economy of prayer... communicating with the other side and asking for help from them. She entertains my questions about prayer, soul connections and lots more. She is leading a workshop this weekend on Soul Connections, and one this summer at Omega. You can subscribe to her Substack and become a supporter to join her monthly Zoom calls. I am so grateful for her time with me and all her work in this world.

364 Fukiko Ostensen "Poca Poca Herbal Steam Therapy"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 5 Mar 2025 01:31:09 +0000

Fukiko Ostensen is a Steam Therapist and Founder of Poca Poca. She is an herbalist born and raised in the Japanese countryside, now based in the Catskill region nestled within pristine nature. Ever since she arrived in this region in 2018, she has been learning about medicinal properties of various plants through the Hudson Valley herbal community and earning her herbalist certification from Ecoversity.

After studying and earning a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Environmental Science in the United States and living abroad in Nepal for 4 years, Fukiko discovered her true passion in educating and working with other women to help heal from women’s physical and emotional issues that are often ignored, and preventing them from being the best and healthiest versions of themselves.

Utilizing wildcrafted and organically grown medicinal herbs combined with ancestral Japanese herbal steam practice, she supports women’s health and spiritual nourishment that can be accessible to all women as part of their self-care routine.

When she is not offering herbal steam service to clients, you can find her harvesting in nature, making plant medicines, spending quality time with her family and friends, and being engaged in community activities.

Today, we learn about Fukiko's path to her current work, her early life in Japan and her winding adventure to the Hudson Valley. She shares details about the steam therapy she offers, how it is healing and nourishing to the pelvic region and can improve the vital vaginal flora. She's collaborating with Mary Evelyn Pritchard on a special one day retreat in the Hudson Valley on May 10th. Here's my previous interview with Mary Evelyn.

362 Barbara Bravo "Garden Day" and Rebecca Martin "SHE"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 16:59:26 +0000

Joining me in the first hour of the show is Barbara Bravo, CCE Master Gardener Volunteer and Garden Day Coordinator to talk about “Garden with Confidence” happening on April 5th at SUNY Ulster, Stone Ridge, New York. The Master Gardeners of Cornell Cooperative Extension are delighted to unveil Garden Day 2025 class offerings that are designed to inspire and equip both novices and experienced gardeners. This year’s range of classes will provide hands on learning experiences, expert guidance, and practical tips to help attendees grow vibrant, sustainable gardens. From tackling garden challenges to enhancing your plant knowledge, these engaging classes will foster a deeper connection to nature and encourage ecological responsibility. This all-day gardening extravaganza, featuring 16 classes is taught by our dedicated Master Gardener Volunteers. Garden Day will take place on April 5, from 8:30 am to 4 pm at SUNY Ulster, Stone Ridge, NY. The day kicks-off with a Keynote Address that will be delivered by Michael Hagen, Curator of the Native Plant Garden and the Rock Garden at the New York Botanical Garden. In Michael’s address, entitled “The Challenges of a Public Native Plant Garden: Maintenance, Interpretation and Compromise” he will explore the New York Botanical Garden's commitment to highlighting the native flora of northeastern North America, a vision that traces back to its founding Director and its evolution into a completely reimagined and significantly expanded native plant garden. This presentation will address some of the unexpected challenges, evolving maintenance strategies, and key lessons learned over the past decade since the garden's reopening. In addition to attending the Keynote address, you have the opportunity to choose four enriching classes out of the 16 available options, designed to elevate your gardening skills so that you will Garden with Confidence.

Joining me in the second hour is musician and activist Rebecca Martin. She has shaped a singular career devoted to the beauty and possibility of pure creative discovery. After getting her start as co-founder of the pioneering jazz-pop duo Once Blue, the New York-based singer/songwriter went on to release a series of acclaimed solo albums animated by the quiet force of her captivating vocals, and collaborating along the way with her husband, the jazz bassist Larry Grenadier and luminaries Argentine pianist Guillermo Klein and legendary jazz drummer Paul Motian.

Produced by Rebecca Martin and recorded in Portugal by Mário Barreiros, SHE features 13 original songs that blend voice and acoustic guitar to create a minimalistic yet powerful sound with deep emotional resonance. Exploring themes of identity, transformation, and the passage of time, the album fosters a reflective, meditative space that invites listeners to fully immerse themselves in its introspective atmosphere.

In one of her boldest turns to date, Martin’s new album SHE (Sunnyside Records) marks her first body of work made entirely on her own. Martin graces every moment of SHE with the clarity and character of her distinct vocal phrasing. As revealed throughout her new recording, Martin’s commitment to creating space informs nearly all aspects of her artistry, including everything from the album’s sparse orchestration to her underlying desire to summon a gratifying sense of stillness within all those who listen. Rebecca will be performing songs from the album joined by Clare Manchon and Anthea White on background vocals during the album's Release Party at The Local on February 28th in Saugerties.

Her upbringing as the only bad athlete in a family of fifteen in the Philadelphia suburbs, and coming of age in the Bay Area post punk cultural scene of the 1990’s informs her interest in alternative lifestyles, economies and communities.

360 Shauna Cummins "Wishcraft"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 5 Feb 2025 02:31:39 +0000

Today I get to speak with Shauna Cummins, a certified Clinical Hypnosis Practitioner with a private practice in New York, author of Wishcraft (2021), holder of ceremonies, multi-disciplinary artist and founder of Divine Feminine School of Hypnosis and MindMassageHotline.

She is the resident event hypnotist at The Four Seasons Hotel New York Downton and regularly teaches workshops and conducts ceremonies in NYC and abroad. She also creates hypnotic sound art and installations and her work has been featured internationally at The National Gallery of Denmark, The Queens Museum of New York, The Center for Contemporary Art Glasgow, Borealis Music Festival, Obonjan Island and in publications such as The Independent, YAHOO News and The Numinous among others.

She's also held residencies in hotels and wellbeing centres, such as ACE Hotel Mediums Residency, The James Hotel Downtown NYC, Nomade Hotel Tulum, Maha Rose Brooklyn, and Obonjan Island Croatia.

The method she developed and works with is called Wishcraft™. Wishcraft is self-hypnosis that teaches the art of well-wishing as a practice for changing thought patterns and beliefs, turning wishes into action.

She received the board certification through the National Guild of Hypnotists in 2012 and started working as a Clinical Hypnosis Practitioner. She's also worked as an artist and entrepreneur in NYC and abroad for over fifteen years. Her life’s passion is helping people help themselves through the healing art of hypnosis.

Today we talk about her big pivot to hypnosis work from a previous unfulfilling career and how she stays in tuned with what makes her heart sing. Shauna walks us through the five pillars of Wishcraft and shares what her regular practices are to stay in touch with her inner knowing and desires. Personally, it was a very inspiring conversation that I hope you enjoy!

In honor of the weekend's holidays, I pull a card to get us into the Imbolc mood... The Kiss from Kim Kran's archetype deck. And here's your New Moon musings too!

Today on the show, I get to chat with Anastasia Wasko, a writer, editor, and psychospiritual guide from the NYC area who calls the Deep South her adopted home. She has a BA in Transpersonal Psychology from Sofia University (former Institute of Transpersonal Psychology) in Palo Alto, California and an MA in Psychosynthesis Psychology from The Institute of Psychosynthesis in London, England.

Anastasia manages Planet Dust Enterprises, a visionary book publisher that produces multidimensional, co-creative, intellectually expansive works. The mission of Planet Dust Enterprises is to sow seeds of ideas and creative expression so they create an organic network of connection and support for individuals who are shifting consciousness. Her signature program Self Mastery supports individuals undergoing spiritual emergence and worldview change. She is also available for one on one psychospiritual guidance.

Anastasia is the Associate Editor for Mindfield Bulletin, the official publication of the Parapsychological Association. She wrote about parapsychology and psychosynthesis for Paranormal Ruptures: Critical Approaches to Exceptional Experiences (edited by Dr Jacob Glazier) and released by Beyond The Fray Publishing in 2023.

Anastasia’s fiction and creative non-fiction writing have appeared in Space Cowboy’s Simultaneous Times podcast, Thrive Global, and in Journal of Exceptional Experiences. Her debut work of autofiction SevenThirteen was self-published in 2003. Her subsequent autofiction Meta Work was released in 2021 and KiezKucker was released in 2024.

Anastasia believes that imagination is among our most valuable assets in thinking beyond systems of oppression, environmental crises, and the collective loss of humanity. Imagination helps us remember who we are. Creative writing is medicine administered through the words (worlds) of others to illuminate, inspire, darken, reveal, and provide possible new realities for you to inhabit as you write your own story, reclaim agency, and shine freedom. Thinking “crazy” has been the bedrock of change in our society. Another word for it—usually when it has worked and we’re speaking in hindsight—is vision.

Today Anastasia shares her journey through spiritual emergence and how that's impacted her work and her life. Our conversation weaves through her journey to the south, her work there and beyond, imagination and mental health, and her focus on writing and its medicine. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

352 End of Year Wrap Up "Spirituality and Politics"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 16:05:21 +0000

It's our final show of the year where Marielena Ferrer and I dive into wandering conversations related to politics and spirituality. We reflect on our year and think about how politics could be done more collaboratively, more feminine shall we say, and then muddle our way through an imagining of what living in a more feminine, collaborative and compassionate way would look like.

Full Moon this Sunday!

351 The Divine Feminine

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 3 Dec 2024 20:34:58 +0000

Today I spend some time sharing my thoughts about the divine feminine. Sparked by a contradiction that I observed during the most recent presidential election, I wanted to share what I believe to be the divine feminine, how it shows up in our lives, and how we can cultivate it for ourselves and in our community. If you have thoughts about this and want to talk or brainstorm please reach out!

350 Cristina Bornstein "Energy Healing and Self Care"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Tue, 26 Nov 2024 03:04:48 +0000

Today on the show I get to speak with Cristina Bornstein who has worked in the field of energy healing for over 25 years. Her main modality is Eden Energy Medicine (The Eden Method) but also includes techniques from her shamanic studies and her own intuitive experiences with earth and universal energies. She believes that Energy Medicine is an amazing complementary care support system and an
empowering self-care tool. Using different modalities Cristina gently empowers you to tap into your inner wisdom and power to facilitate a deeper sense of health, happiness, and emotional balance to help you live radiantly. Each session or self-care class is customized and Cristina “follows the energy” as Donna Eden would say, which creates a sacred and safe healing space.

Cristina is passionate about self-care believing we are our own health advocates! This is why being the Director of Monthly Self-Care Classes with the Holistic Health Community is perfect match. Cristina also serves on the HHC board and offers energy medicine sessions at the HHC Healthcare Day.Cristina specializes in Self-Care Guidance, Chakra Transformations, Stress Management, Soul Retrievals and Self-Care Empowerment. She offers in person and skype sessions.

We talk about her entry into energy medicine which started very young, how she learned to follow her intuition, and where it has guided her along the way. It has brought her to some of her most transformative teachers, including Shamanic Studies with John Perkins and expeditions to the Ecuadorian rainforest, Guatemala, and Colombia to learn and live with indigenous tribes -- to Donna Eden whose work really connected the dots across so many other areas of studies Cristina was drawn to over the years -- and finally or perhaps more accurately, a return to nature as her teacher.

She shares thoughts on self care as well as simple suggestions of things to do at home or at work to support different emotional states and experiences or just to proactively nourish yourself with some care. As a part of the Holistic Health Community's Self Care Program, she's organized an event happening tomorrow, Tuesday, November 26th at the Institute for Family Health's Pine Street location where I'll be offering Tending to the Heart Sound Bath at 6pm. As with most HHC offerings it is by sacred reciprocity. "Though there is no charge for services, we encourage sacred reciprocity by making a donation, by offering volunteer service or by doing an act of loving kindness toward someone in need."

We also mention a special fundraiser for the Holistic Health Community happening this Sunday, December 1st, at Lifebridge in Rosendale featuring a sound bath with Ricarda O'Connor. If you have the ability to support this vital community organization, this will be not only a gift to them, but a gift to you to receive from this sound experience.

349 Madeleine Grace "Sonic Elixirs"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 15:49:17 +0000

Today on the show I get to welcome Madeleine Grace, creator of Sonic Elixirs. She is a improvisational vocalist and a practitioner of touch therapy using fascial release techniques, Ayurvedic Marma therapy and Thai yoga to offer comprehensive sessions to help clients remember their inherent wholeness. Her intention is to contribute to the vitality of the world through space holding and ecstatic creativity.

Madeleine shares pieces of her story on how she came to her work and her music, including a pivotal moment in college when a lightbulb went off aligning her course with her heart. We talk about her idea of wholeness and how she creates spaciousness and connection in her life and the lives of others. Of course voice and sound are a big part of our conversation, and we get to listen to her latest release, Notes from the River on Spotify... and learn about its mystical creation process. We philosophize about love and the feminine and masculine and talk about an upcoming collaboration between Madeleine, Vinny Collandrea, Ben Brown and myself happening this Saturday at 7pm in Woodstock. You can learn more and register for Soundscapes of the Heart here. Discounted tix available until 11.20.

Here's Madeleine on Bandcamp and Instagram.

348 "Post Election Thoughts" with Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 18:49:48 +0000

It's our monthly conversation about Spirituality and Politics and we're talking about how we feel and what we're doing post election. Whew... this is not an easy conversation, but we get by with a little help from the Tarot. Marielena pulled the The Judgement card in advance of the show and then The Universe, The Lovers, The Empress, The Emperor and The Hanged Man during the show. Tune in to hear our thoughts and reach out if you want to add to this conversation going forward.

Marielena shares this essay from Pablo Helguera.

347 Sophie Strand "The Masculine, The Feminine and Everything In Between"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 5 Nov 2024 15:23:22 +0000

Today on the show, I welcome Sophie Strand, a writer based in the Hudson Valley who focuses on the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and ecology. But it would probably be more authentic to call her a troubadour animist with a propensity to spin yarns that inevitably turn into love stories. Give her a salamander and a stone and she’ll write you a love story. Sophie was raised by house cats, puff balls, possums, raccoons, and an opinionated, crippled goose. In every neighborhood she’s ever lived in she has been known as “the walker”. She believes strongly that all thinking happens interstitially – between beings, ideas, differences, mythical gradients.

Her poems and essays have appeared in numerous projects and publications, including Spirituality & Health, Atmos, Braided Way, and Art PAPERS. She is the author of The Flowering Wand,The Madonna Secret, and the forthcoming memoir The Body Is a Doorway as well as the creator of the popular Substack “Make Me Good Soil.” You can follow her work on Instagram @cosmogyny.

We get to hear Sophie talk about The Flowering Wand, why she wrote it and how she relates to the masculine - how is it different from the patriarchy and why that is important. Is the harm patriarchal or more broadly dominant culture? How does she feel about disturbing the dominant culture system? The inspiration for The Flowering Wand was born of her interrogation of the Jesus story which she retells in The Madonna Secret with an honoring of the roots of Rabbi Yeshua and the rightful placement of Mary Magdalene as a peer by his side. Why have women's stories been left out - are we getting better at telling them? Hmmm, consider our current election as a reflection point. How does Sophie relate and respond to the cultural limitations or expectation placed on women? How does she tend to her self? How can we tend to the earth...egregore?

Sophie has an upcoming workshop, Myths as Maps: Ecological Storytelling, happening on November 16th and 17th. We have limited time to dive into the vast subject of myth and how we can perhaps more appropriately work with myth through the creation of our own vs. an adoption of others from a much different time and place. Her daily practice is an effort to create her own myth and is a profound inspiration in how we can be better collaborators with all the beings we dance with on earth.

Thanks Sophie, I look forward to reading The Body is a Doorway when it comes out in March 2025!

Following our conversation, I turn to Kim Krans' Archtype cards for some inspiration in how to navigate the potential challenges that may arise this week following the election. The Bridge is the response. It's a perfect gift of contemplation for these times.

For those needing some inspiration in how to tend to oneself, one's child or perhaps one's inner child, here is the article I shared from Susan Weber on how to see the world as good.

346 "Infertilities" and "Missed-Conceptions"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 29 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

For many years I've imagined a group art experience where folks can share through some artistic means their story in trying to become a parent. As someone who experienced 6 miscarriages, much heartache and also opportunities to grow and learn about myself in my journey to becoming a mother, it's something I feel is often kept in the shadows. Today I am officially announcing this show for the Spring of 2025, May 7-11 in Kingston, NY to bring it into the light. It's an open call to anyone who has a story about trying to conceive, adopt, or become a parent in one of the many ways one can. Whether you completed that journey, are still in the midst of it, or have let that path go, you are welcome. Unless you have gone through it yourself, it's hard to know the true magnitude of how this impacts us, physically, mentally, financially. It's my hope that people can feel seen and receive support as they express their stories and help illuminate what so many suffer through alone through this community art show. If you'd like to participate, please feel free to fill out this brief form, or send me an email with any questions.

About a year or so ago, I found a book that convinced me I was ready to do this show. It was in a pile of books at Radio Kingston free to take. On today's show I'll share stories from that book, Infertilities, a curation edited by Elizabeth Horn, Maria Novotny and Robin Silbergleid. NOTE: these stories may be activating for those who have a personal connection to the subject matter.

Here's your New Moon report. "Channel some of this creative, fertile Haumea energy by focusing on what you wish to create. Channel it towards solutions and hope for a brighter future."

Get your tix to The Goddess Party this Friday!

It is here that she recovered from her years of corporate life - where she was good at her job as a program manager, but never satisfied as she wasn't even close to being aligned with her life’s purpose. As she continues to strip away years of programming and societal and familial conditioning, the plants support her every step of the way.

Nature has been Jenny's greatest teacher and healer. She is passionate about sharing with others how living in harmony with the cycles of Nature can connect us back to ourselves and the embrace of the cosmos and Mother Earth.

343 Holly Troy "I am Divine Love"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 8 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Holly Troy is an artist, writer, teacher and musician, whose work explores forms for “deep play.” Her passion is to create positive transformation through imagination, movement, pranayama, co-creation, and playful embodiment.

Holly envisions a world where people have the tools and resources to be their authentic selves as conscious creators contributing to a renaissance of human potential that uplifts all of humanity and every being on the planet.

Holly came of age as a musician on the Lower East Side, New York City in the 80s and 90s. She earned her yoga teaching certificate from Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center in 1996. She holds a degree in Creative Writing and Studio Art from Hunter College. Her painting has been the subject of solo shows in the USA and is held in private collections across the US, Europe and Australia. She is based in upstate New York.

You should also know that she hails from an illustrious lineage of fortune tellers, yogis, folk healers, troubadours and poets of the fine and mystical arts. Shape-shifting Tantric Siren of the Lunar Mysteries, she surfs the ebbs and flows of the multiverse on the Pure Sound of Creation. Her alchemy is Sacred Folly — revolutionary transformation through Love, deep play, Beauty, and music.

She believes creativity, love, kindness, radical authenticity, and self-care are imperative for a just and sustainable world.

She's leading a workshop this weekend, I am Divine Love, as a part of the O+ Festival on Sunday, at the Good Work Institute at 4:30pm.

Today Holly shared the background in developing this workshop and what to expect. We talk about the themes of Love, true self, play, fun, and presence, and Holly shares about her lineage and how she became who she is now, someone who is forever exploring and choosing to see the world through love and play.

"There's going to be pain in life but suffering is optional..."

342 Kate Valentine "A Woman of a Certain Rage"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 1 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Kate Valentine is one of the instigators of the feminist neo-burlesque movement. The Va Va Voom Room was her weekly variety show running at the beloved cabaret space Fez Under Time Café in NYC. Her hilariously deadpan mistress of ceremonies character Miss Astrid traveled all over the globe entertaining audiences with her quick improvisational wit.

Concurrently, Ms. Valentine wrote and starred in many sketch comedy shows and directed and created works of experimental dance theatre. Directing credits include The Terrorism of Everyday Life, which won a Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh Festival.

Get tickets to this Sunday's, October 6, 2024, performance of A Woman of a Certain Rage, 8pm at the Orpheum in Saugerties. It is Kate's first full length solo show. "A romp, a rant, a bloodletting, about living in a female body in the 21st century. A vivisection of the American medical system. Your Doctor is in and he has been diagnosed with white male privilege. Ms. Valentine is filling your prescription for dismantling the patriarchy!"

This 70-minute show utilizes raw personal stories, physical comedy, dance, and pure undiluted female energy. A Woman of a Certain Rage is a call to action -- to project our Rage out into the world and to utilize that heat to propel us into a dynamic harmonious future.

Today Kate shared about why she created this performance, and some of the background around the content of the performance including the physical and emotion experiences that led to a deeper awareness of the harms she'd experienced in life. A goal for this show is to help galvanize support for the long overdue passage of the ERA through.

You can find and follow Kate on Instagram for updates on performances and more.

Happy New Moon Solar Eclipse on Wednesday.

And

https://www.moonomens.com/new-moon-solar-eclipse-in-libra-2024/

"Solar Eclipses also remind us that confusion, disorientation, and chaos often precede clarity: they invite us to deepen our introspection and encourage us to come back to alignment before continuing to move forward."

We listened to music from these ladies.

341 "Jo Salas" Mrs. Lowe-Porter and Playback Theatre

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Jo Salas is a writer, a social activist, and devoted grandmother. She grew up in New Zealand and now lives two hours north of New York City near woods and mountains. Jo’s fiction includes the novels Dancing with Diana (Codhill Press, 2015), and Mrs. Lowe-Porter (JackLeg Press, 2024). Her short stories have appeared in literary journals and anthologies. Her story “After,” in the anthology Facing the Change: Personal Encounters with Global Warming was nominated for the Pushcart Prize. Other short stories have won or been shortlisted for awards.

Jo is also the cofounder of Playback Theatre, an original form of interactive theatre based on personal stories now practiced worldwide. Her nonfiction writing has chronicled and explored Playback Theatre since its inception, with many publications including Improvising Real Life: Personal Story in Playback Theatre, now published in ten translations and a 20th anniversary edition.

Today, we spend much of our time discussing MRS. LOWE-PORTER which is based on the life of Helen Lowe-Porter, a brilliant, ambitious, warm-hearted, and self-deprecating woman who struggles for her own literary voice against the conventions of her time and the demands of the two male luminaries in her life: the legendary novelist Thomas Mann, whose works she translates, and her charismatic husband Elias.

It's "[a]n exploration of the complicated life of the translator of Thomas Mann – who is a writer in her own right. Salas asks difficult questions about work and gender – whose words should take precedence? Whose work? Whose needs? Salas uses the real life of Helen Tracy Lowe-Porter as the foundation for this fascinating novel.”
–Roxana Robinson, author of Dawson’s Fall.

Jo shares about what led her to write the book, her own resonance with Helen's story, what women contend with professionally and creatively when the world is not necessarily asking for their output, and then also another of Jo's major contributions to the world in her 50 year effort to develop and share Playback Theatre. They have a new series of performances beginning October 6th at the Muse in Rosendale.

339 Amber Rubarth "Musician and Creative"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Today on the show I get to chat with Amber Rubarth! Amber left home at 17 years old to become a chainsaw sculptor in Nevada. At 21, she quit and decided to begin writing songs and teaching herself guitar. One of her early originals was awarded Grand Prize in NPR's Mountain Stage New Song contest. She has performed hundreds of stages around the world, from the early days opening for a flea circus at a Texas theme park, to performing an original duet with Jason Mraz at Carnegie Hall, to full orchestral arrangements of her songs with the Ithaca Chamber Orchestra woven into classical works. She moves fluidly between genres, creating a unique palette of instrumentation for what best serves the song.

After many years of solo touring, Amber lights up these days with collaborations in both film and music. She has written original songs and score for numerous films including Sundance festival winner 'Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work' and the super-marathon documentary 'Desert Runners.’ She co-founded 'The Paper Raincoat,’ a Brooklyn-based iTunes Indie Artist Spotlight band featured in Disney’s 'The Last Song,' the CW's 'One Tree Hill,’ and Paste Magazine who said “We think the world might be a little better if everyone heard this record.” In 2016 she recorded a live-to-tape single microphone album with her folk trio 'Applewood Road' which the London Sunday Times gave 5 stars, calling it "a flawless set that has to be the most haunting release of the past year” which led to performances at Glastonbury Music Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival, a UK tour supporting Mary Chapin Carpenter, and her original arrangement and performance featured in the 'BBC Sisters in Country' documentary with Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris.

Her most recent album, Cover Crop, is 15 reinterpreted songs exploring the disconnection and remembrance of our interconnectivity with nature. Self-produced and performed by Amber Rubarth in the woods of the Hudson Valley, New York.

Today Amber shares with us how she went from chainsaw sculpture to musician, what's different about her musical work then and now, how she takes care of herself (with her Matcha ritual), why and how she made the Cover Crop album, and plays a few songs for us too!

Here's the Tarot Reading from Nikki Fogerty for those who want to revisit. The Emperor and The Ace of Swords... Perfectly timed to fold into our discussion of the masculine. "With great clarity and purpose, I become the leader I am meant to be."

Get tickets to the Gail Ann Dorsey and Amber Rubarth benefit concert this Saturday, September 14th.

Here's the playlist with associated songs for today's show.

338 Rewilding the Masculine

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 3 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Inspired by Sophie Strand's The Flowering Wand: Rewilding the Sacred Masculine, I meander through my own thoughts on the patriarchy, matriarchy, the feminine and the masculine. We receive two cards, The Castle and Gnosis, from Kim Kran's Archetypes Guidebook and then talk about the moon and her magic.

Here's your New Moon Report from Tanaaz at Forever Conscious.

337 NeeNee Rushie "Big Takeover Band"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 27 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

NeeNee Rushie grew up in Jamaica where her mom and her 3 sisters raised her. She’s always been very touched by music and songs from a very early age. She sang in church and school choirs since the 4th grade- when she discovered that she had a talent for singing and performing.

NeeNee moved to NY in 2003 and went to college in New Paltz in 2005 where she met the original drummer and Rob (their current bass and musical director) that same year. The band would form in a couple of years. Since then, they have released 5 full length studio albums, a couple live EPs, performed all over the country and experienced countless strange and unforgettable moments. The band has had some line up changes over the years. Some wonderful musicians have come and gone. Rob, Chas and NeeNee are original members. Guthrie, Manuel, Roger and Ryan have been on board for several years now. The band operates like a family. They play reggae-ish, ska-ish, world-ish grooves, sprinkled with some soul-ish nuggets.

When NeeNee became a mother, their strategy changed from playing tons of shows, to being more picky about the shows they play. She realized that she was going to have to make the same or stronger impact, but by playing less shows. NeeNee’s daughter really regenerated a new love for the band in her. Her daughter has taken a major interest in the band and their music, and that has given NeeNee a new perspective. She’s never felt more passionate about the band and is feeling prouder of what they have done, and more confident about what they are working on.

https://www.bigtakeoverband.com/

On today's show NeeNee shares about her childhood and the music that she was surrounded by while living in Jamaica and what it was like leaving her home and her mama. We talk about her process for writing and collaborating with the band, being a woman in a male dominated industry, and listen to a few songs and hear what they mean to NeeNee. Of course, we also talk about motherhood, how that's impacted her and the band, and how they are evolving as a result. They have two local shows coming up. First up is at The Falcon on September 28th and then The Linda in Albany on October 26th.

Here's the Tarot reading that I shared from Nikki Foggerty. "I bring love and compassion to myself and embrace all the possibilities that lie ahead.. "

We listened to a song from Amber Rubarth who will be a guest on the show Sept. 9th. She's also playing this benefit...Neighbors for Neighbors on September 14th supporting People's Place and the O+ Festival.

Here's a link to today's playlist.

336 The Art of Living Together Through an Election Season

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

It's Spirituality and Politics with Theresa and Marielena Ferrer. We dive into the challenges in surviving election season with all the vitriol and fighting along with the art of navigating conversations around issues with others who disagree. We focus a little on the Immigration issue that is being weaponized right now. Here's the study Theresa refers to. We'll be back at it on September 16th if you want to join in!

Here's your Full Moon report!

We heard music from The Big Takeover Band. Nee Nee Rushie will be my guest next week! They are performing at the Summer Hoot this weekend, where I'll be... Gonging in the mornings.

335 Music and Musings with Theresa

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 01:39:41 +0000

Hello! Back in the studio, but Marielena is unwell so Spirituality and Politics is moved to next week. Instead, I play some music and share some thoughts about...

Taking care of self first, Jeanne Brook's Mealtrain, rising above and taking the high road during this election season, Nicky Foggerty's Tarot reading for the week, "When I open my eyes and heart, I see all the possibilities. I step up as the leader I am meant to be," and The Animal, The River and The Flame from Kim Krans Archetype Guidebook.

Here's a link to today's playlist, and the O+ and People's Place benefit Neighbors for Neighbors on September 14th with Gail Ann Dorsey and Amber Rubarth.

P.S. Before I officially started the show Warren and Manuel talked with me about how to avoid stress so that's appended to the end of the show.

P.P.S. You cannot hear most of the songs because of rights and permissions, but I've included the playlist so that you can enjoy them on your own time.

334 Molly McCarthy Tweedy and Jenny Wonderling "Community Healing"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 6 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Today I get to welcome Molly McCarthy Tweedy and Jenny Wonderling to the show to talk about a special event they are hosting this Thursday, featuring the music and global healing work of Samuel J. Happening at Crescent in Gardiner on 8.8, the Lion's Gate!

Molly @evolutionary.holistic.healing is the Co-Founder and Co-Director of Evolutionary Psychotherapy & Holistic Healing, a healing center that opened its doors in 2021 in uptown Kingston, NY, and provides holistic mental health, recovery, and wellness services.

For the past 25 years, Molly has dedicated herself to guiding others on their transformative journeys to heal. Her educational background includes a Master’s degree in social work from NYU, a license in Clinical Social Work, and a CASAC (Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor). She has studied AFT (Aroma Freedom Technique), DONA (Doulas of North America), Journey Dance, and MotherWoman. She has extensively trained in trauma treatment, Attachment Focused EMDR, completed courses in Violet Alchemy and Tony Robbins’ Mastery University, and achieved a 200-hour Hatha yoga teacher training and certification.

Beyond her therapeutic expertise, Molly is a musician, dancer, and artist, performing since 2009, and recognizing the power of creativity as both an outlet for expression and a catalyst for healing.

Jenny Wonderling @jennywonderling brings her deep love of the planet and respect for ancestral wisdom to her writing, event production, Breathwork classes, space holding, and community building spaces in the Hudson Valley. She strongly believes in the transformational powers of inter-woven creativity and how we can help bring each other’s audacious dreams and unique gifts to fruition. She co-directed, co-wrote, and co-produced BLOOM and LUMINOUS and Co-Founded Circle Creative Collective. She’s also a proud mama of 3 sons. Jenny's work can be found at jennywonderling.com and crescenthv.com

They share about the rare opportunity to catch Samuel J in our neck of the woods, and then we continue our conversation learning about Molly's work and Jenny's evolution with Crescent, how they are both changing the paradigm through healing, creativity and connecting community.

I share at the beginning of the show, the health journey a friend and past guest Jeanne Brooks has been on as a reminder of the importance of the work of Molly and Jenny and many others in our community. If you'd like to support Jeanne, you can subscribe to her Substack.

Lastly, here's your New Moon report!

Inspired by this podcast, Marielena and I discuss the 7 Deadly Sins of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ("DEI"). Here are the cliff notes (AI?) version if you are unable to listen. Let us know what you think and where you stand on DEI.

We wrap up the show with a fun chat about optical illusions and what they can teach us about how we think and interact with others.

332 Mary Evelyn Pritchard "The Holographic Home"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 2 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Mary Evelyn Pritchard is an artist and community weaver whose work focuses on creating sacred spaces and experiences. In her business practice The Holographic Home, she works as a Feng Shui practitioner, interior designer and land worker. In addition, she has been actively exploring the realms of feminine embodiment and eros through study and personal practice for the last 8 years, and more recently, has begun sharing opportunities to explore these topics with others. She has a particular passion for facilitating community ritual as a pathway to individual and collective healing.

Today our conversation plays with notions of the feminine and what it means to embody all aspects of this divine energy. Mary Evelyn shares personally her journey into feminine embodiment when she was initiated by an ectopic pregnancy leading to a major surgery. Her recovery and reclaiming has seeded her with a deep wisdom and a passion for exploring and sharing the gifts of freedom that unfold from an embodiment of the feminine. She sees community ritual as being potent medicine for women who are healing and recovering their connection with the "dark feminine." We learn about her evolution into the work she now offers in the spaces we reside and how this too is an offering of daily ritual into the places we call home.

She's hosting a retreat in her sacred home space for feminine embodiment with her mentor and collaborator Whitney Ullom, Tending the Well, July 19-21. She has a few spaces open so if you are interested, be in touch soon!

You can connect with Mary Evelyn via her website or Instagram.

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 25 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Jo Shuman is a mental health nurse, in the field for 30 years. She has worked in several settings: Community Mental Health Clinics; Substance Abuse Programs; a State Prison; and has spent the last 10 years working for the Ulster County Mobile Mental Health Team. She just completed a year long program through Psychedelics Today called Vital: Psychedelic Therapies and Integration. She has been a volunteer for the Restorative Justice 180 Program for 10 years and marvels at the growth she has witnessed in the youth it serves. She is a life long activist and has experienced the power of civil disobedience and getting into good trouble. She is also a proud mother of four in a blended family and grandmother of 8.

Today we get to learn about Jo and her beautiful life, from fighting back against racist behavior in junior high, to protecting the land and humans from uranium mining and the danger in the transport of nuclear weapons, she's been a long time activist who is really lead by her heart in all she does. We learn about her work and why she's taken on such impactful roles, what she's learned about humans and relating with others, and how we can better take care of ourselves and others. Our conversation goes philosophically deep into many of the issues that Jo has been involved with in her work, and she shares her insight eloquently. If you'd like to connect with Jo as a resource in any of the subjects she discussed, please reach out and I will connect you. You can also find her on Instagram.

She's beginning a monthly gathering for folks who have had a psychedelic or non-ordinary state experience in conjunction with the O+ Festival on July 9th. RSVP if you'd like to be a part of it.

330 Sheila Dvorak Galione "Painted Pathways"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 18 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Sheila Dvorak Galione is a writer, artist, singer, mother, healer, and intuitive coach who seeks to bring her insight and passion for the power of story to every aspect of her work. For years, Sheila supported non-profit and community organizations through grant writing and other responsibilities, but she stepped into the void to first process the passing of her sister and then clear the way for her to pursue her own work that allowed her a greater balance between work, motherhood and her health. She created Painted Pathways, a healing practice combining artistic expression, reflection, and conversation. Throughout the process, she assists others in creating a visual representation of your life, allowing you to see your strengths more clearly, and identify where you can visualize growth and change. When she's not doing this work, she's directing school plays, writing music, and performing as Sheila Dee with the band Sheila & The Deep End.

The band formed in 2014 and quickly grew from performing originals and covers during dinner theater shows, to opening sets for rockabilly band Lara Hope and the Ark-tones, to headlining historic venues and clubs around the Hudson Valley, including the Rosendale Theater and Live at The Falcon, among others. She writes and performs original, evocative, old-school rock-n-roll, and her debut album “Has to Be Real” is available on all streaming platforms and features melodies that take hold in the heart, funk that moves your feet and dynamic harmonies that fill your ears.

During our conversation, Sheila eloquently and authentically shares her life with us, from growing up in a musical family, to being disillusioned by Hollywood after a stint with a reality show and moving to the Hudson Valley where she reconnects with her love of music. She openly shares about the unexpected loss of her sister and how she continues to move through the grief of it all including writing music with her in mind. She recommends the podcast Quit Happens to anyone else out there looking to make the leap, and she wants to bring back the Tributon to the Hudson Valley so if you too yearn to join forces with other musicians to honor music's faves, get in touch!

329 The Politics of Language with Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 11 Jun 2024 14:01:44 +0000

Inspired by the thoughts and speakers in this Ted Radio Hour, Marielena Ferrer and I dig into the topic of language. Was the alphabet responsible for the demise of the Goddess? Are we resistant to language changes? Are language changes imposed upon us like Colonizers? Are they able to change culture? We meander through these questions and more today on the show!

And here's the New Moon report for this month...

328 Margaret Bensfield Sullivan "Following the Sun" and Tami Lynn Kent "Wild Mothering"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 4 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

In the first half of today's show I am joined by Margaret Bensfield Sullivan, an author, illustrator, and family photo curator, whose work combines her personal passion for archiving with visual storytelling skills she honed over nearly two decades in brand marketing. Margaret was a partner at WPP's marketing and branded content agency Group SJR, where she designed storytelling campaigns on behalf of clients like TED, Target, Disney, and USAID. She left corporate life to spend a year with her husband and two young children crisscrossing the globe, visiting 29 countries and six continents. She wrote about their adventures in Following the Sun: Tales (and Fails) From a Year Around the World With Our Kids (December 5, 2023).

Our conversation just skims the surface of the richness of her book where she details: what to consider when planning a trip like this, the pitfalls and pluses of traveling with kids, how to keep marital and family peace during a year of togetherness, and the transformative and lasting effects of time away from life's daily routine. I love that Margaret concluded our conversation with the notion that you don't actually have to travel the world to get the benefits from ditching the treadmill of the daily routine.

If you are interested in this type of experience for yourself and your family, in addition to getting Margaret's book, she suggests finding a Worldschooler group on Facebook.

________________________________________________________________

In the second half of the show, I am joined by the one and only Tami Lynn Kent, a women’s health physical therapist and the founder of Holistic Pelvic CareTM where she utilizes her ability to read energetic patterns of the body to help women reconnect to their bodies and feminine. Tami maintains a private practice and an international training program in Portland, Oregon. She has authored three previous books. Her latest, Wild Mothering: Finding Power, Spirit, and Joy in Birth and a Creative Motherhood (Atria Books, May 7, 2024), is a newly updated edition of her classic, Mothering from Your Center.

I first learned of Tami's work back in 2016 when my dear friend Neslihan lent me her book, Wild Feminine. It was a life changing read that helped me to understand some of my own conditioning and subconscious biases as well as take me down a road of deep healing and a reconnecting with my own feminine energy. Today, Tami shares about the importance of reconnecting both physically and energetically with the pelvic bowl. Beyond the healing that is possible for an individual, it's an important collective act for reclaiming the energy of the feminine and re-establishing its value in an imbalanced patriarchal society. Tami's idea of Wild Mothering is offering permission and possibility to do mothering and life differently, from a place not solely lead by the head, but supported and embraced by both an inner compassion as well as a greater connection to the creative resources that exist beyond ourselves. She believes that every woman at her center has a wealth of creative resources for mothering. These abundant resources can provide guidance, bring energy when it’s needed, and restore the mother-child connection. To tap into them, it’s essential for women to connect with the energy medicine in their female centers. Wild Mothering — allows women to move beyond stereotypes and create the type of mothering that both sustains their families and also feeds their mothering souls.

As a part of our conversation, she touches on the energetics of birth and the birth field, what the feminine means to her, what Wild Mothering means and how to embody it, and how all bodies have access to the healing medicine of the feminine.

"What Tami has created here is nothing short of a bible for us. Wild Mothering elevates mothering to its rightful place as the axis of culture, requiring proper due and respect and refusing to accept the invisibility and the unrecognized labor of mothers that is all too common." Kimberly Ann Johnson

326 Kaitlyn Murray "la vie apres l'amour" A Sustainable Fashion Brand

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 21 May 2024 01:38:49 +0000

Kaitlyn Murray has been care-taking her brand, la vie apres l'amour, a sustainable fashion organization since 2017. Born and raised in Red Hook, NY, she graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology and went on to work at Hermes in customer service and merchandising. Her life long love affair with thrifting and her studies in sustainability led her to leave Hermes and open her own line of clothing and eventually a physical shop in the Rondout of Kingston which is many things including her studio, a retails space, an events space, and a community hang out where she's hosted mending nights, community dinners, a vinyl dj event, artist talks, a clothing swap, a clay building workshop, and recently a floral arranging day.

In addition to tending to her store, she created Hudson Valley Sustainable Fashion Week in 2023. She hosted several events and produced and showed in the first ever HV Sustainable runway show on Rose Hill Farm in Red Hook. It was a collective show, showcasing 7 HV sustainable designers and 4 recent alumni from the Marist Fashion Program. It was a dream and the goal was to highlight designers doing this work in the area and make them known to the public.

Today Kaitlyn shares her journey into fashion and how it shifted over the years, making the leap into its current iteration. We learn about her brand, much of what her line consists of and her process. She educates us about the impact of the fashion industry on both the people charged with making it and the many ways the production of new clothes extracts from and damages our earth and even our own health. She has several upcoming events that she is hosting and otherwise supporting such as a clay handbuilding workshop, a community dinner, a film screening of Fashion Reimagined about doing fashion sustainably, and the big Hudson Valley Sustainable Fashion Week runway show in September.

We end with a little self care chat, and I left feeling inspired and hopeful!

325 "Poison Ivy" with Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 14 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

It's another installment of Spirituality and Politics with Marielena Ferrer. Today we largely speak about her upcoming exhibit, "At Arm's Length," where she dives deep into the meaning of Poison Ivy. It's the second time a friend has built artwork around the plant that so many fear. It conjures an interesting response from most humans and perhaps sheds light on how we can or should respond to a threat, whether real or perceived.

Her show is a part of the MFA thesis exhibitions at the Samuel Dorsky Museum and the opening reception is this Friday, May 17th from 7:30-9:30pm with additional hours May 17 – 20, 11am-5pm; and May 21, 11am-4pm.

She will be receiving the Artivist award from Arts Mid-Hudson this June 11th for her work advocating for the rights and recognition of immigrants via her Broken Monarchs exhibit.

Marielena is also the new Managing Director at Unison where she will be expanding upon her desire to foster diverse communities through the arts. Stay tuned for exciting things coming from Unison!

324 Remembering Sarah Bisceglie, Music of The Goddess Party, New Moon Vibes

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 7 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Today I am severely under the weather so I postponed my original guest and instead have time to honor a dear friend, Sarah Bisceglie, who took her life last year. In the beginning of the show I share some memories of Sarah who was a beam of love and light with a brilliant mind. She and I worked together to bring gong and reiki healing to many in the Hudson Valley both at the local domestic violence shelter and at my former studio in Kingston. She was a guest on the show back in November of 2018, and it's a timeless conversation worth revisiting even if you've already tuned in.

Her art is being shown this weekend, May 11 and 12 from 10-4pm at The Stable Gallery at 84 Sickler Road, Lake Hill, NY. The gallery is snuck back off the property passed a pond and an open field, but just follow the little signs that say parking and you'll get there. It's worth the journey.

For much of the remainder of the show I share music inspired by the recent The Goddess Party performance and finish up with a little New Moon Astrology from Tanaaz over at Forever Conscious.

Here's the playlist for those who want to enjoy it further.

Love yourself and uplift one another!

323 Laura V Ward "Moving the Body and Watching the Mind"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Today on the show I get to speak with Laura Victoria Ward, CMA, RSME, a dancer, choreographer, movement teacher, Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analyst, musician, painter, consciousness explorer, somanaut, and meditator.

She is the artistic director of Kingston Contemporary Dance Theatre (formerly Octavia Cup Dance Theatre), a multi-disciplinary, multi-generational company. She has been creating dance theater and performing in New York City, the Hudson Valley, and internationally for over 25 years.

She regularly creates and performs with Tonus Maximus and the Glam Rock Cabaret, The Goddess Party, and she is in your grandmother's punk rock band–a.k.a. Dick Pinchers. Recently, she played Columbia in Rocky Horror Picture Show with R’Ville Stage Creations.

She holds a BA from SUNY Empire State in Dance, Theatre, and Movement Studies and has studied with Irene Dowd, Liz Koch, and Gil Hedley. She studied the Meisner technique with Michael Harney. Her teaching experience includes Wagner College, Gina Gibney, Dance New Amsterdam, Equinox, Dutchess Community College, Manhattan School of Music, the Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies, Cornell Creative Arts Center, and privately. She has received several KCACTF Awards for her choreography at Ramapo College in New Jersey, as have the ensembles she has worked with.

This year Laura received a Dance Force Choreographer’s Initiative grant (NYSCA) which she is just beginning to work on. She has 2 paintings in a show at the Berkeley Alembic.

She shares her early memories of movement and how her awareness of the body has developed and shaped who she is and the work she does. It's quite an inspiring conversation as Laura is steeped in body wisdom while being playful and open about how that weaves into her life. We learn about her own practices in both movement and stillness and what she offers to others as their guide. She indulges my questions about toddler movement, the nervous system and truth and offers a short yet powerful practice towards the end of the show. Connect with her via Facebook or Instagram for updates on classes, Dick Pinchers and Tonus Maximus and the Glam Rock Caberet.

You can also check out her YOUTUBE Channel, Somatics with Laura V Ward here!

See you at The Goddess Party performance this Saturday. And here's the info on costume designer Ramona who we gushed about!

322 Preserving Land with Leonora Wiener and Nancy April

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Today on the show I get to speak with Nancy April, a ceramicist and master gardener and Leonora Wiener, an executive and career coach. They are both officers of The Pacama, a Conservation Collaborative, Inc., which was established in an effort to preserve the rural character of the Olive, Marbletown, and Rochester communities in Ulster County, New York, by a group of concerned neighbors. The group came together in 2020 to strategize how to protect local wetlands, animal habitat, and native plant species in the face of growing development in the area and insufficient town oversight of that development. They created this non-profit conservation corporation, to hold land in trust, preserve its natural character, and educate the community about the beauty and unique attributes of the area.

Pacama is the name the Esopus-Munsee band of Mohicans, the native people of this area, gave to the wetland/vly in our community. For more information about the native people who lived in the area contact the Stockbridge-Munsee Mohican Tribal Historic Preservation Association. Their motto is "People of the waters are never still."

Today they share how they were personally impacted by the proposed development in Olive, and what they did to limit the size of the development so that it was aligned with the needs and preservation of the natural environment, from letter writing, to attending planning board and town board meetings to filing an Article 78 Petition following the town's negative declaration of an environmental impact. Through their combined expertise, dedication and successful fundraising, they eventually came to an agreement with the developers to purchase a portion of the land. They formed Pacama as a non-profit organization to hold this land as “forever wild” for the benefit of the larger community, and the environment, which so desperately needs protection.

Not only was this a timely conversation aligned with Earth Day and an ever increasing need for us to take better care of our earth, but it was also a story of a community coming together successfully to work on a solution to a collective problem. Something we could also use more of in my humble opinion.

I mentioned towards the end of the show an Art Exhibit honoring the art and life of Sarah Bisceglie, a dear friend and past guest who passed last year. Opening reception happening May 4th from 3-6pm at the Stable Gallery.

And here's the info on The Goddess Party performance also happening on May 4th at 7:30 pm.

Finally, here's the Full Moon Report.

321 Amy Daughters "Connecting Through Handwritten Letters"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 16 Apr 2024 01:39:17 +0000

Today on the show I get to welcome, Amy Daughters, a lauded Award-Winning Author and dynamic Keynote Speaker, who
envisions unity in diversity, where our disparities intertwine as bonds rather than divisions. By revitalizing the age-old art of handwritten letters, she revives human connections in an increasingly digital age. Infused with wit and humor. Amy draws from her experience crafting 580 handwritten letters to all her Facebook friends, illuminating the path to profound connections
in the unlikeliest corners. With acclaimed works like "Dear Dana" and "You Cannot Mess This Up," Amy inspires others to embrace vulnerability, proving that genuine kinship thrives even in unexpected spheres.

Today she shares the compelling story about reconnecting with a childhood camp friend through handwritten letters and how that changed the trajectory of her life from writing 580 of her Facebook "friends" letters to learning the art of connecting despite our perceived and even real differences. Her ability to convey the magic in her lived experience is truly contagious. She emphasizes how you do not need to be a writer to write letters, and encourages everyone to try it at least once to see how it may impact themselves or another.

319 Joanna Leffeld "Relating to Money and Your Ancestors"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 2 Apr 2024 01:36:08 +0000

Today, my guest is Joanna Leffeld, more famously known as the “Moolah Doula.” She’s worn many roles in her life including certified financial planner, mom, yoga teacher, artist, and hospice volunteer. She was a guest on the show a few years ago where she laid the foundation of what and why she does her work. In the past few years, she's gone deeper into her own healing as it relates to trauma and ancestral trauma. Today she talks about how this relates to her work, how it's helped her surface her gifts and how it she will be supporting others to do this work as well. As a trained end of life doula, she sits bedside with terminal patients, and listens to regretful stories of lives not lived to the fullest, missed opportunities, and hopes and dreams unfulfilled. This profoundly shaped her perspective on why living a conscious life in alignment is essential to health and abundance. Drawing from these unique and varied experiences, she has created a powerful process to help individuals and couples heal and align their relationship with money.

She has some in person and virtual workshops on the horizon:

Cultivating a Life of Abundance with Joanna Leffeld and Bahia Miller Thursday, April 11th from 7-8:30pm. This workshop is Free Through Sacred Reciprocity via the Holistic Life Community who she continues to volunteer with on a regular basis during their virtual health care weeks.

Healing Your Money Issues Workshop in Brooklyn at MahaRose on May 30th from 7-9pm in person.

Last but not least, you can find her art at Joannaleffeldart.com

Getting ready for next Monday's New Moon Solar Eclipse with the help from Tanaaz. If you're in the Hudson Valley, come see us outside Radio Kingston for next week's show followed by a soundbath and meditation.

318 Martha Williams "BreakBread"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 26 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Today on the show I am joined by Martha Williams who has spent her life as a serial creative firebrand. She is an award winning filmmaker, writer, and choreographer, and kept the lights on with creative direction, video production, consulting, coaching and training. After 20 years of following her calling Martha realized that even though she was lucky (or crazy) enough to be making art she was still not making the difference she set out to make. While her art was activist in nature, squeezing out work in a world where people are choking on “content” and mindlessly consuming life, didn’t seem aligned with her greater mission to help communities reclaim and restore soulful connection to self, other and the world around them. This is when her work as a conversation activist began. Martha and her partner run Culture Shift Agency and BreakBread World, working to reweave our common humanity through the art of conversation and the power of soulful gathering.

Our conversation weaves through the meaning of conversation activism, how Martha found this work, the patriarchy, the embodiment of the masculine and the feminine and so much more.

BreakBread is hosting an Embodied Conversation Workshop at GWI on April 14th.

As mentioned, Engather is co-hosting a special happening this Friday, March 29th at ASK for creative connection and community. You can learn more here!

Here's the Moon Report that inspired our moon chat.

317 Jami Smith "Songs That Saved Your Life" and Barbara Bravo "Master Gardener"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 19 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Jami Smith is a music journalist and creator of Songs That Saved Your Life, a queer rock history newsletter on Substack. She has also written for The Advocate, OUT magazine, and OUT Traveler. Jami believes that if “Rock & Roll Jeopardy” were still on the air, she would’ve beat Mark McGrath.

Her new show on Radio Kingston, "Songs that Saved Your Life" shines a spotlight on the often untold stories of rock & roll. Each week, she’ll celebrate her favorite icons and allies with genres ranging from synth-pop, punk, soul, hip-hop, glam, and disco. Tune in from midnight to 2am every Monday night into Tuesday morning (starting on 3.25) for a tiny bit of history and a whole lot of music.

Today on the show Jami schools us in some deep music history, starting with rock and rolls roots, which were undoubtedly very queer. We also learn about Jami's past life as a stand up comedian, and what we can expect to hear on Songs That Saved Your Life. Check it out. I highly recommend! Along with her Instagram!

In the second half of the show I welcome Barbara Bravo, a dedicated gardener with more than 30 years’ experience reclaiming neglected gardens as well as establishing new beds and an enclosed vegetable garden at her home in Saugerties. She is a Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Volunteer and Garden Day Coordinator which is taking place on April 6th this year. She has lectured on many gardening topics and this year at Garden Day will be presenting Ground Covers - Better than Mulch. When not in her garden, Barbara can be found in her studio creating nature inspired works of art in clay and painted paper collage.

Today, Barbara helps me through some of my gardening snafus, tells us about her own roots in gardening and what to expect during the often sold out Garden Day! Did you know that you're not supposed to pull "weeds" out? Tune in to learn why and what you should do in today's episode.

Today's Words with Warren teaches us about how to repell those pesky mosquitos!

316 Women's History Month with Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

During this month's installment of Spirituality and Politics, Marielena and I are talking about the important women in our lives. This leads to a conversation about women's role as caretaker and the feminist movement and a slight rant about the patriarchy. Sorry, can't help myself sometimes.

315 Dr. Amy Novatt "GynoCurious" and "Vulva Views"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 5 Mar 2024 01:00:00 +0000

Today I get to welcome back Dr. Amy Novatt a board certified ob-gyn who generously offered her time in the past for monthly conversations about women's reproductive healthcare. She is now the host of GynoCurious, a program that explores the experience of being an ob-gyn, the science that guides their practices and the stories women- cis, trans and nonbinary, have shared with her as they seek health and wellness. Investigating what it means to be a healer and to be healed.

It's not a medical show that tells you how much estrogen you should take or the scientific method used to evaluate data but instead, a conversation about the larger canvas looking at what its like to be a medical professional working with women and how patients experience the world of ob-gyn. Conversations like, what is it like sitting in the exam room with a thin sheet of paper covering your naked body? What has been the impact of a cancer diagnosis? What it is like to go through the menopause? She hopes to talk about our fears, sexual explorations and aging adventures with respect, inquiry and science. For her, knowledge and awareness brings awe, authority and autonomy.

Today we expand upon some of the topics that she's covered on the show like the biological design of women as caretaker, the impact of hormones on life and the lack of external understanding or support for how they impact women, the corporatization of medical care and the problems that ensue, how the medical profession has let down women since it's inception, how to advocate for yourself when it comes to healthcare, and how we need to break the system in order to rebuild it. Whew...

If you have a topic that is a good fit for GynoCurious, be in touch with Dr. Novatt via Radio Free Rhinecliff.

Following our conversation I shared from this article, "Sexism in Medicine: It's Not All in Her Head," and chatted about International Women's Day and the many Virtual Events that are taking place this year.

Lastly, here's your New Moon Report. It's so perfectly anti-patriarchal.

314 Kendra Nicole "Peace & Profits" and Jessica Cingel "Reproductive Psychiatry"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 27 Feb 2024 03:54:42 +0000

In the first half of today's show I welcome Kendra Nicole, the CEO of Kendra Nicole™️ & The Finance Femme®, and the creator of Scalable Firms™️ and Peace & Profits™️. After graduating from Clemson University (Corporate Finance and Accounting), Kendra quickly moved up the corporate ladder while working for corporations such as GE. This work led her to pursue her love for small business strategy by founding The Finance Femme®, an accounting and fractional CFO firm. Kendra also hosts an exclusive 6 month mentorship/coaching and retreat program called Peace & Profits™️. And her Scalable Firms™️ program where she coaches other accounting and finance professionals on brand and business building. Kendra is a wife, mom, and podcast host.

Today Kendra talks about how to make time for what's important, moving away from profits first, getting clear about what you really want, tending to your taxes year-round so that tax season isn't such a burden, making a money date for yourself, and balancing work and parenting.

____________

Joining me in the second half of the show is nurse practitioner Jessica Cingel. After working on an inpatient psychiatric unit and with adults with autism spectrum disorder, Jessica went back to school to pursue her passion for individualized care in pregnancy and reproductive health. As a certified nurse midwife, she's had the honor of guiding individuals and families through life transitions, both joyous and difficult. During her eight years of midwifery practice, she became frustrated with the lack of mental health support available to her clients. Jessica decided that if these services weren’t available, she'd have to create them herself. She returned to school again and obtained licensure as a nurse practitioner in psychiatry. She created Kinship Health to offer help to individuals struggling to balance their mental and emotional health with the needs of their families, careers, and school.

Today Jessica introduces us to reproductive psychiatry, how perinatal mood and anxiety disorders manifest, how to identify them, and why it's important to not ignore it. We also talk about some of the big picture issues around mental health like access to care, where the system is failing folks, cultural complexities, the insurance problems, and where the system is starting to get it right (there's still much work needed though!).

313 Admiral Grey "The Human Dream Project"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 20 Feb 2024 01:00:00 +0000

Admiral Grey is a multidisciplinary artist and performer whose new work, The Human Dream Project, records people describing dreams they have had, and then illustrates the recordings using colorful, surreal puppetry and original music.A multimedia project that continues to expand, Admiral developed a hotline for the project so that people can call in their dreams 24 hours a day, and has plans to create dream phone booths around the world where people can call in from. She has also made stop motion videos illustrating dreams, as well as colorful and absurd 'commercials' for the hotline using live action, puppetry, and animation.

Today we learn about the conception of the Human Dream Project and why Admiral pours her loving energy into it.

312 Political Parties with Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 13 Feb 2024 01:00:00 +0000

This month's installment of Spirituality and Politics dives into the subject of political parties. Are they still useful or not? Do we actually need them? Are they causing more harm than good? These are the questions Marielena and I wander through on the show with a little help from this article by Katherine Ellison. She's pro political party with lots of reform, and I am feeling pessimistic and say they've got to go! What do you think??? Here are some more thoughts on the subject.

311 Khara Croswaite Brindle "Ruptured Mother-Daughter Relationships"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 6 Feb 2024 03:03:45 +0000

Today on the show... Khara Croswaite Brindle is a licensed mental health therapist in private practice in in Denver, Colorado. She holds various roles, including financial therapist, TEDx Speaker, burnout consultant, author, and professor. Her new book is Understanding Ruptured Mother-Daughter Relationships: Guiding the Adult Daughter’s Healing Journey through the Estrangement Energy Cycle (Rowman & Littlefield, July 1, 2023). You can learn more and access a wealth of tools at estrangementenergycycle.com

With as many as 1 in 12 people being estranged from a family member, Khara shares her experience and knowledge gained assisting several female clients through the stages of estrangement. The choice is a challenging one and typically follows an emotional cycle that eventually lessens the grief and leads the adult daughter to discover a new sense of self. While each individual’s journey is unique, therapists, as well as those contemplating or trying to heal from estrangement, can benefit from recognizing the energy cycle of estrangement. Khara talks about the incorrect assumptions that are made about estrangement, the social stigma, how to support someone who is considering or going through estrangement, as well as how to support your children if you are going through the stages of estrangement.

PLUS! We have a little time to talk about burnout and how it became something that she now supports others through. A subject that is right up my alley as ending burnout is an antidote to the patriarchy!

I continue on once our conversations completes to share some info about the Mother Wound that I came across many years ago. It's a fascinating read and contemplation for anyone out there as we're all contributing to it by participating in the patriarchal structures and systems.

Here's the information on the Campaign for Child Care happening in New York State. And here's the article I mentioned about child care in The Cut.

Finally, here's the New Moon report. Happy Lunar New Year!

310 Imbolc, Archetypes and Writing

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 30 Jan 2024 01:00:00 +0000

WOAH! Starting season 7!?!!!!!

Today's show dives into the many benefits of handwriting. Hint: It clarifies thinking; improves understanding, memory, and application; and improves communication.

https://www.inc.com/justin-bariso/neuroscience-says-1-simple-habit-boosts-brain-connectivity-learning-memory.html

https://www.inc.com/justin-bariso/how-to-write-amazon-jeff-bezos-memos-meetings-clear-writing-clear-thinking-rule-of-writing.html

Then we pivot to a Imbolc/Candlemas discussion. If you're local, you can join the Center for Symbolic Studies folks to celebrate this weekend.

I share from a favorite publication, We'Moon to expand the conversation on Imbolc.

In preparation for the Imbolc holiday, I pull three Archetype cards and discuss their meanings: The Ring, The Thread and Aletheia.

Inspired by a doc about the first ladies of hip hop, I play some music in their honor.

Finally, I conclude with my self-care diary. Still jogging, even if it's super slow!

309 Nancy Furstinger "Catskill Creatures"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 23 Jan 2024 01:00:00 +0000

Nancy Furstinger is the author of nearly 100 books, including many on her favorite topic: animals! She started her writing career in third grade, when her class performed a play she wrote while recovering from chicken pox. Since then, Nancy has been a feature writer for a daily newspaper, a managing editor of trade and consumer magazines, and an editor at two children’s book publishing houses. She shares her home and heart with her partner, big dogs, house rabbits, and a chinchilla (all rescued), and volunteers and fosters pets for several animal organizations. Nancy has been speaking up for animals since she learned to talk, and she hasn't shut up yet! Please adopt, don't shop.

She is the author of CATSKILL CREATURES, a lovely full color children's book offering readers of all ages a fresh and informative introduction to the Catskill area’s native fauna. This book asks, are you curious about the amazing Catskill creatures sharing your back yard? Your wild neighbors star in nature’s outdoor theater, where exciting drama changes with the seasons. Catskill Creatures spotlights fifteen species of wildlife with intriguing facts and dramatic illustrations. Inside these pages you will discover: Who isn’t scared of the skunks stinky spray? What warty secret weapon protects toads? Where prime raccoon real estate is located? When black bears head into their winter dens? Why the little brown bat is nature’s original bug zapper?

A self proclaimed "animal nut," Nancy shares heartfelt and inspiring stories of animals that she's written about over the years. As someone who's life is rooted in compassion, she gives us a glimpse into the local shelter scene and ways you can help take care of our animal friends. As a life long writer, our conversation also touches on how her career has evolved over the years and advice she has for aspiring writers.

She'll be at the Poughkeepsie Children's Book Festival on March 30th and loves visiting and reading at schools and libraries, so get in touch with her directly if you'd like her to visit you!

Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle
of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the
whole of nature in its beauty.
—Albert Einstein

308 Natalie Freihon "People Over Profits"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 16 Jan 2024 01:00:00 +0000

Natalie Freihon is the founder of Strange Bird Hospitality which currently encompasses The Orchard Townhouse, Nat's on Bank, Nat's on Bleecker and soon Nat's Mountain House. Freihon comes to this role with a wealth of experience in the industry, including: General Manager at restaurants Double Crown, Freemans, Peels, and Mercat; Director of Food and Beverage at Ace Hotel New York, overseeing The Breslin and John Dory; and General Manager at Soho House and Ludlow House, where she led the social club’s downtown debut. Originally from Los Angeles, Freihon holds a degree in Sociology from Columbia University. She lives in Greenwich Village with her husband Steve and daughter Bowie.

"I’ve been restauranting for quite some time. Throughout the growth of my career I saw far too frequently what wasn’t working and what I didn’t want in terms of being a hospitality group owner."

That inspired her to want to make some changes and try to be the example. It’s certainly been difficult since currently there’s no “guidebook” or structure in how to build a company in her vision, plus, well COVID. But! They're getting there through consistent positive choices by putting people over profit.

Today on the show Natalie shares how she got to where she is, including what it was like being a successful woman in a male dominated industry. Plus she let's us in on the newest of the family, a family friendly restaurant/bar/event space and new neighborhood hotspot in Tannersville. They are hosting a Hudson Valleys Movers and Shakers Party, January 18th from 5-7pm so that you all can check out what's happening their and plan your events in this amazing and adaptable space. You can also reach her at natalie@strangebirdhospitality.com

In the second half of the show I talk about Caring Majority Rising, an organization that is also trying to put people first despite the roadblocks in our State government. They have a new bill they are trying to pass to talk the unnecessary and costly middleman out of long term health care, and they are having a training this week for those who want to put the pressure on your reps to pass this vital legislation. Here's the article I read by Michael Solow explaining what all this is about.

And while I sight and call upon the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I do so cautiously acknowledging the points in this article, Codeswitch.

FINALLY, here's the Astrology report for 2024.

305 Alana Connelly "From Grief to Joy"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 19 Dec 2023 02:31:04 +0000

Alana Connelly has been an intuitive her whole life, and studying the healing arts for over 25 years. She struggled to find her way after her husband passed in his early 40's. Watching someone you love more than life itself leave this world leaves an indescribable pain and loss. After allowing herself the time to feel the overwhelming sadness, she found herself in Bali in a yoga teacher training that didn't go as planned, but it allowed her to reconnect with herself and eventually pursue a path of helping others by opening her own wellness center, a non-profit bakery to support local women, and a women's artisan co-op. While some projects failed, others succeeded but brought up questions about her life's purpose, who she is, including a lot of self doubt and uncertainties. She found herself sitting with more hurt, anger, sadness and pain, but she knew it was the only way through. She's now living a life that she enjoys and has found happiness again. As a registered vet tech for over 28 years, she's now pursuing a PhD program in clinical psychology with a focus on mind, body and spirit with the hope that she will help others find the joy in life no matter what happens.

Today she shares about allowing herself to sit in the sadness, the hurt, and pain in order to really move through the grief, how a yoga teacher training changed her life and taught her about how the other side of fear is freedom. She's living that freedom today despite life's ups and downs, practicing letting go of expectations and loving herself unconditionally.

Alana recently contributed to a book titled Do More Stupid Things, a book that celebrates those who dare to live outside the lines. These stories will remind you that taking risks and self belief are the key ingredients to magic and miracles. It’s not easy to go against the grain, but as you’ll see in this book, it offers huge rewards for the brave ones willing to "do stupid things."

Alana's work can be found at www.wildrootsyogawellness.com and on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/wildroots_wellness/

304 Spirituality and Politics "Resolving Conflict and Learning"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 12 Dec 2023 01:00:00 +0000

Today Marielena and I wander through various subjects related to Politics and Spirituality... Starting with Pablo Helguera’s Método de Discursos Sociales. How do you resolve conflict? Start with naming the problem to make sure you actually understand it.

This meanders over to my curiosities about Marina Abromovic's Rhythm Series ('73-'74), and themes of the sword, and power over others...

Here's the Article; Education: Why not a race to the top? - that inspires us to think about how to chance education to one focusing on learning to learn, learning to do, learning to live together, learning to be.

What does this bring up? Fear of failure and criticism...Are we all born with resilience? This is a subject for next year... who wants to join in?

Final words from Marielena and Theresa on the end of the year...Marielena suggests some solstice writing on your wishes... and how you can take steps to fulfillment.

303 End of the Year Ritual to Let Go and Align with Your Truth

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 5 Dec 2023 01:00:00 +0000

Today I follow up on the Archetype Cards we've seen the past few weeks (Sword and Flame) and fold their themes into an end of the year ritual to let go and align with your truth as guided by the Aletheia card. This includes a fun little exercise to cultivate internal love. Here's the playlist that we listened to.

Today on the show I get to chat with Francesca Hoffman, a multi-instrumentalist, singer, event producer and entrepreneur based in Kingston, who is currently in the process of opening her new queer-forward performance venue & bar called Unicorn Bar (formerly The Beverly Lounge).

A classically trained flutist and self-taught guitarist, ukulele player and percussionist, she is also a co-founder of Hudson Valley-based brass band, Brasskill and the Hudson Valley Brassroots Festival, a member of both The Goddess Party and Eva Salina's Eastern European choir, and the parade coordinator for the O+ Festival.

Catch her performing her original songs live with support from pianist/accordionist Meghan Quinn on Dec. 17 at @vosburghbrewing and Jan. 5 at Tilda's...and with the Eastern European Choir on Dec. 9th.

300 Spirituality and Politics with Marielena Ferrer "Open Mindedness"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 14 Nov 2023 01:00:00 +0000

It's Politics and Spirituality with Theresa and Marielena Ferrer. This month we're talking about open mindedness inspired by this NPR article on the same subject. Here's the Implicit Association Test that was mentioned during our conversation. Prior to jumping into this subject we do revisit the subject of money following up from my conversation with Beth Bengtson from Working for Women about their screening of the film $AVVY.

Happy New Moon! Here's the report I read from that was very much aligned with our conversation about open mindedness.

299 Tracy Sayre "Moonshot Initiative"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 7 Nov 2023 02:36:10 +0000

Today I am joined by Tracy Sayre, co-founder of Moonshot Initiative (formerly Women's Weekend Film Challenge) who helps thousands of women build networks and break down barriers in the film and television industries. Through Moonshot, Tracy has produced nearly 40 short films. She is an award-winning screenwriter and wrote and produced “Lily + Mara” with her writing partner, Caroline Roberts (AP of “The Little Mermaid”), which screened on PBS and had its world premiere at the Rhode Island International Film Festival. Tracy lives in Kingston with her husband and two daughters. She is an avid reader and loves weightlifting.

Tracy shares about how Moonshot Initiative was born and the work they now do including their pilot accelerator program, their signature weekend film challenge, and monthly virtual workshops featuring prominent film and TV professionals. Tracy is a panelist for HERSTORY, an evening of conversation and networking with others in the film and television industry here in the Hudson Valley. It's all taking place on Tuesday, November 7th at 6:30 pm at the Rosendale Theater.

In the spirit of the Moon and because it is my "religion," I share thoughts on our Moon Signs inspired by the book, The Moon Sign Guide by Annabel Gat and then some thoughts about the New Moon from Sarah Faith Gottesdiener's The Moon Book. The New Moon is coming up this Mo(0)nday, so time to start thinking about your ritual!

298 Growing Women's Wealth with Beth Bengtson

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Today I welcome Beth Bengtson from Working for Women back to the show. She catches us up on what they've been up to in supporting their mission to invest capital (dollars and skills) from businesses into nonprofits supporting women who want to enter and stay in the workforce to become financially independent. They are co-hosting a screening of the film $AVVY. The film dives deep into the complexities surrounding women and money, uncovering the hidden narratives that have influenced our perceptions for generations. Directed by visionary filmmaker Robin Hauser, "$AVVY" is a captivating journey through time, culture, and society, examining the intricate relationship between women and money. From historical accounts that have shaped financial narratives to the unspoken rules that govern our modern world, this film unearths it all.

Related to their upcoming film screening we spend some time talking about the hurdles in moving more wealth to women and why getting it into the hands of women is vital to an equitable and thriving local and global community. The screening is taking place from 5:15pm - 7:15pm* November 15th at Upstate Films, Starr Theater, 6415 Montgomery St, Rhinebeck, NY. *Film screening includes Q& A after Beth Bengtson of Working for Women and Beth Jones of Third Eye Associates, Ltd.

I fill up the remainder of the show talking about the energy of money and how and why to consider working with it in a spiritual way, channeling your inner mystic and calling upon your ancestors to help change your money story and your relationship to it.

Here are the articles I shared and the playlist referenced to get you in the mood for Samhain and a little money magic.

297 Amplifying Peace with Seaira, Shulamit, Kristin, Trinity and Tara

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 24 Oct 2023 01:53:57 +0000

Last week I put out a call, and these women answered. Struck by a recent conversation I had about war vs. peace, I realized the misogyny in the idea of peace - as something naive, weak, emotional and decidedly feminine. So I wanted to double down on my wish for peace and 5 women showed up to help do just that, offering words, sound, meditation, breath, prayer, and love.

First is a meditative guided visualization from the wonderful Seaira O'Brien, multidimensional healer and word alchemist. She is followed by The Great Octave founder, Shulamit Elson who offered her signature Medisounds healing frequencies. Shulamit was on the show in November 2021 talking about grief and sound healing. Also returning to the show is Kristin Moshonas who brought us into our bodies, breath and hearts. She was on the show in May of this year talking about mental health and her work to support it. Trinity joined in studio with her guitar to set the tone for a song she wrote year's ago about love and alchemy. Her sound healing work can be found here. Last but not least is my pal Tara Sanders who's been a return guest several times. Today she guided us through a loving kindness practice sending prayers to ourselves and others. I asked her to mention the details about another event she is involved, HERSTORY: A symposium bringing together five film initiatives in the region that work to empower, celebrate and elevate female-identifying and non-binary folks in the film industry. HUDSY, Moonshot Initiative, Stockade Works, UPWIFT, and the Woodstock Film Festival will each present about their organizations, some of their past work, and the opportunities that each provides to engage with and encourage the continued expansion of diversity in the industry. This event is happening November 7th at the Rosendale Theatre.

I close the show with the Full Moon report, and mention another local happening, a screening of the film $AVVY at Upstate Films in Rhinebeck on Nov. 15th at 5:15pm: This film dives deep into the complexities surrounding women and money, uncovering the hidden narratives that have influenced our perceptions for generations. Directed by visionary filmmaker Robin Hauser, "$AVVY" is a captivating journey through time, culture, and society, examining the intricate relationship between women and money. From historical accounts that have shaped financial narratives to the unspoken rules that govern our modern world, this film unearths it all. Brought to you by Working for Women and Third Eye Associates.

296 Phyllis Hjorth "A year in my Mother's Life" 1924

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 17 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This week's show welcomes back Phyllis Hjorth, artist and bodyworker, who shares about her current exhibit, "A year in my Mother's Life" 1924 currently on exhibit at Taste Buds Cafe in Red Hook with an opening reception this Friday, October 20th from 4-6pm. We get a glimpse into Phyllis' mom, and more specifically, the side of her that was often forgotten after having her children. Phyllis shows and shares about a few paintings inspired by her mom's college "yearbook," and then we get a glimpse into Phyllis' life, her study of interconnection, the time she spends at Kunzan Palchen Ling, a Tibetan Monastery in Red Hook, and how she got into bodywork.

My pre-show chat with Warren talks about tips to happiness: confidence, trust the process - letting go, seek out healthy relationships, practice kindness, stay the course...

295 "The Sabbath" with Marielena Ferrer on Spirituality and Politics

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 10 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000

This month during our monthly conversation about Spirituality and Politics, Marielena Ferrer and I delve into the idea of the Sabbath, a day of rest. Inspired by this New Yorker article, we talk about the history of the Sabbath, what it would mean if we all could enjoy a day of rest, the complexity and inequity in the concept of rest, how we relate to it personally, and what a universally accepted day of rest might do for community and global relations.

Let us know what you think!

Here's your Moon report for this Saturday's New Moon.

293 The O+ show with Amy Purdy, Jenn Brannigan-Tyler and Jessica Price

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 26 Sep 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Today I share my conversation with Kingston High School Art Teachers Amy Purdy, Jenn Brannigan-Tyler and Jessica Price about their students' participation in the O+ Festival. Amy Purdy is the Lead Art Teacher at the High School and works with the National Art Honor Society and teaches ceramics and jewelry. Jenn Brannigan-Tyler teaches the Advanced Painting art students, and Jessica Price teaches the Digital Photo students. Our conversation touches on their students' experience in interpreting the festival theme FORWARD and gives us a sneak peek at how we can experience their offerings during the O+ Festival. The painting and photo students will have their work displayed at store fronts in Uptown Kingston, and Amy Purdy and students' TASK party will be happening on Saturday, October 7th from 3-5pm at the YWCA, 209 Clinton Avenue, Kingston, NY.

Here is the Oliver Herring TASK party info.

In the second half of the show I play music from a few of this year's O+ Festival musicians. If you're listening via podcast instead of the radio archive, you'll have to check them out on the playlist. Here's today's playlist.

Here's your Full Moon Report! "The Aries Full Moon holds fantastic potential for helping us to take our ideas from our minds and into physical form. There is an entrepreneurial flow that comes when Aries energy is strong, so use it to your advantage."

289 Hope Nemiroff and Sarah Carlson "Breast Cancer Options"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 29 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Today I am honored to speak with Hope Nemiroff, Executive Director and Founder of Breast Cancer Options and Sarah Carlson, a recent addition to the Breast Cancer Options organization. We get to hear about Hope's cancer journey which led her to be involved with extensive research and advocacy for breast cancer care and health policy. Then we spend some time understanding the importance of patient advocacy, discuss the science related to cancer care and prevention, all of the programming they offer from kids camps to metastatic retreats, and are joined by caller Ilona Ross who added more to contemplate in this complex conversation based upon her efforts to advocate for herself.

Breast Cancer Options is an independent non-profit 501(C)3 organization and the largest provider of free and unique breast cancer services in the Hudson Valley. In many places, we are the only provider. We are an organization of survivors and their supporters who understand that a woman diagnosed with breast cancer is suddenly faced with some of the most important decisions she will ever make about her own healthcare. In deciding on a plan of action, it is important to understand:

That all questions are good ones
Which information is credible and reliable
What statistics really mean
Which lifestyle changes can make a difference
How science-based integrative medicine can be used with conventional treatments.
That you do not have to face all this, including physician visits, by yourself

Their mission is to educate breast cancer patients about effective treatment options, to advocate for and support informed patient choice and to promote public awareness regarding cancer risk reduction.

Here's your Moon report!

288 Rev Shirley on Love and Liminal Space

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 21 Aug 2023 23:00:00 +0000

Today I get to spend two hours with Shirley Nelson, a special human who I was introduced to via Kia Abilay a dearly departed friend, mentor, healer and person who married me!

For more than 30 years Rev Shirley has led sessions in spiritual development and
personal growth. She is an interfaith interspiritual minister and a compassionate care
counselor who serves various communities in the greater Cleveland area as a preacher,
retreat leader, and a workshop facilitator. Shirley is the author of The Many Faces of
Prayer and recently self-published My Soul Speaks of Grief: Poems and Reflections on
Love, Loss and Grief. She enjoys reading, spending time in nature, listening to music,
dancing and walking.

Today we wander through the subject of Shirley's religious background having been raised Baptist but knowing that wasn't the right path for her to now offering sermons of her own driven by love. A recent sermon was delving into the subject of "liminal space" which is a fascinating subject to me so we spent some time understanding it and then moved onto a favorite topic, love. You can reach out to Shirley or subscribe to her mailing list for her newsletters by emailing shirley.nelson@live.com.

287 Spirituality and Politics "The Economy and the Tarot"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 15 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000

It's another installment of politics and spirituality where Marielena and I go off on some subjects loosely affiliated with the art of living and the art of living together. Inspired by this NPR article where they consult the Tarot, we talk about economic theories, or theories in general, and how perhaps we've forgotten that they are in fact just theories. We might actually be creating our reality, and inflation, so if that's the case, how can we do it better? We're in The Tower folks!!!

286 Marielena Ferrer and Elinor Levy on Folk Arts

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 8 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Today Marielena Ferrer covers for Theresa and welcomes guest Elinor Levy or Arts Mid-Hudson. Elinor Levy joined Arts-Mid Hudson in September 2016 as the Folk Arts Program manager. A native of Oakland, California, she has bounced around the country from California to Indiana, Georgia, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and now New York. Previously, she worked in Las Vegas as the folklorist for Clark County Parks and Recreation and as executive director of the Northwest Jersey Folklife Project. Having spent the last decade as a folklorist consultant and an adjunct professor, she is excited to be doing public folklore again especially in the culturally rich Hudson Valley. She has a master’s degree in Anthropology from California State University, Sacramento and a doctorate in folklore from Indiana University, Bloomington. She is a folk artist in her own right as a third generation knitter on her mother’s side. In the past three years she has added spinning her own yarn to her skills and looks forward each year to helping a friend shear a small flock of Jacob sheep.

We discuss being a folklorist, the art of observing, participatory research, Cultural Humility, the activities at the Broadway Bubble in Kingston - not your average laundromat, and all the work Elinor oversees and shepherds at Arts Mid-Hudson. Elinor can be reached at elevy@artsmidhudson.org.

Marielena Ferrer is driving this month's Spirituality and Politics conversation while I am away from the station. We talk about the Supreme Court's most recent ruling affecting affirmative action and refer to these articles as we meander through our own opinions on it and what we hope will come as a result of it.

Happy Interdependence Day, almost. Celebrating the 4th holiday in my usual way, of reflecting on ways we can remember what freedom and independence is always about, and adding a new twist to thinking about how we are all connected and interdependent upon one another!

Here's the Full Moon Astrology that I shared from Tanaaz.

Here's the site where I shared some of the Capricorn mythology.

Here's the article from the Library of Congress.

280 Lindsey Danis "Writing and Belonging"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 26 Jun 2023 23:00:00 +0000

Lindsey Danis is a queer, gender expansive writer based in the Hudson Valley, New York. Lindsey received a BA in English from Vassar College and an MFA in Fiction from Emerson College. Lindsey is Creative Nonfiction editor at Atlas + Alice and runs the queer outdoor travel blog Queer Adventurers.

Lindsey’s nonfiction has appeared in Condé Nast Traveler, AFAR, Longreads, Eater, and Catapult, received a notable mention in Best American Travel Writing 2019, and is anthologized in “The Best New True Crime Stories: Unsolved Crimes and Mysteries” and “Nourishing Resistance: Stories of Food, Protest, and Mutual Aid." Lindsey received an Individual Artist Commission for an oral history essay project, “Queer Homesteading in the Hudson Valley.”

Lindsey is currently working on a book proposal on queer travel, with themes of queer joy, personal power, and transformation.

Our conversation begins by discussing the notion of belonging. Inspired by Lindsey's personal journey of feeling like she didn't belong as a young person in school and specifically in yoga studios, she reflects on how her sense of belonging arrived during a recent LGBTQ focused yoga retreat.

Related to her challenges of making yoga a more regular part of her life, Lindsey raised an issue I had not considered before, the ways in which the LGBTQ community is impacted financially. We didn't have time to go into this fully, so I asked Lindsey to share some of her writing on this subject.

It Took Leaving the Restaurant Industry for Me to Understand How Wrong I Was to Stay Silent About Its Abuses. A personal essay on dysfunctional kitchen culture and the factors that keep restaurant workers from speaking up about toxic working conditions.
3 Ways to Protect You and Your Partner From the LGBTQ Wage Gap. This article uses a personal lens on the gay wage gap to explore LGBTQ workplace discrimination and financial insecurity, then offers tips to help LGBTQ individuals increase their financial stability.
Here's How Much LGBTQIA+ Family Planning Costs: A breakdown of economics for Synchrony Bank.
Indy: Why are Queer Millennials More Likely to Freelance? Unpacking the reasons LGBTQ millennials flock to freelance work with two interviews with queer freelancers.

Lindsey expands further about her writing, how and why she became a writer and how she got to where she is today, writing and editing in various spaces with a focus on money and how she likes to spend it -- food and travel -- from a perspective that centers LGBTQ voices. I highly recommend following along on Lindsey's Instagram account where she/they shares regular inspiration for other writers and deep thoughts and perspectives on the LGBTQ experience.

Today I celebrate Juneteenth by paying homage to the contributions of African Americans which have significantly impacted me, that being their music. There's no greater medicine for me than music. I consume A LOT OF IT, so I am grateful to all of those who've enhanced my life, helped me through crisis, uplifted my spirit, and moved me to dance through their creative work. Here's the playlist from today's show.

In between songs, I share and speak about the recent New Moon and the upcoming Summer Solstice inspired by the work of Tanaaz and Kim Krans' archetype guidebook.

Here's the New Moon info. Here's the Solstice info. All from Tanaaz at Forever Conscious

And here's that NPR article about the cusk eels who mate during the New Moon.

Here's the info on Citizen Action's campaign to end slavery in the NY penal system.

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.

278 Belonging with Marielena Ferrer and Phyllis Hjorth

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 12 Jun 2023 23:00:00 +0000

This month's Spirituality and Politics show with Marielena Ferrer has us talking about belonging. Inspired by the content of this article, Marielena and I talk about what it means to belong, both in our own lives and as it relates to immigrants who struggle to belong at the most fundamental level. In the second half of the show we are joined by Phyllis Hjorth an artist with an exhibit, "The Neighborhood" now showing at the gallery at the Old Dutch Church, 272 Wall Street, Kingston on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 10-3 and by appointment. Phyllis's exhibit will showcase paintings done circa 2000 when she had her studio in Hudson, NY. There she met the neighbors who she would take photos of and eventually paint. She shares the richness of the experience and what she hopes to inspire by the showing of these impressive paintings from that time. The exhibit is open until July 27th with an artists reception on July 1st from 2-4pm.

277 Donna Klassen "Let's Talk Menopause"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 6 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Today my guest is Donna Klassen, Co-founder and CEO of Let's Talk Menopause. In addition to her work at Let's Talk Menopause, she is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 30 years of experience. Her areas of practice include trauma, infertility, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. In addition to her private practice, Donna served as admissions and clinical director at the Motherhood Center of New York from 2017-2020, and has held supervisory roles at SUNY Stony Brook, the Jewish Board of Children and Family Services, and Safespace.

They started Let’s Talk Menopause because they've learned from their individual experiences—and those of just about every other woman they know—that too many women do not get the information, support, and healthcare they need during menopause. Too many women are suffering unnecessarily. Too many women don’t know what to ask.

Let’s Talk Menopause aims to change this through education and advocacy. They want to empower women to seek the relief they need and encourage them to talk openly about their menopause experience.

Donna shares information about menopause, the health implications including mental and emotional well-being and treatment options available including hormone replacement therapy and skills based therapy like cognitive behavior therapy. We also briefly discussed the details in this NY Times article that I share from about the cost of menopause for women in the workplace. Check out their podcast "Hello Menopause" and their weekly talks featuring in-depth discussions with a wide range of specialists—from gynecologists and urologists to physical therapists and psychiatrists—to help you understand how menopause impacts your body, emotions and lives and to provide you with options for navigating the changes you may experience.

Here's the episode with Lori King talking about her experience and support for surgical menopause.

Following my conversation with Donna, I share info about Raising Hope's upcoming celebration of hope honoring women in the community, including myself. Thank you Tara Sanders for nominating me!

Here is the Raising HOPE Celebration of HOPE silent auction.

Here is the Full Moon Astrology Report from Tanaaz at Forever Conscious that I shared at the end of the show.

Here's the Playlist from today's show.

276 Mental Health and Personal Freedom with Kristina Sarhadi

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 30 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Kristina Sarhadi is a holistic therapist, Reiki Master, writer, and “recovering social worker.” A Hudson Valley native, she is the founder of Kingston Reiki + Holistic Therapy in Downtown Kingston, where she also runs The New Leaf Holistic Health Clinic with Dr. Ileana Tecchio and Dr. Glenn Finley. Kristina studied at Vassar College, UC Berkeley, the University of Southern California, The Institute for Integrative Nutrition and the Soma Healing Center, and received the International Health Leadership Award in 2011. Since 2012 she has lived in Kingston, where she is an ongoing Clinic Provider at The O+ Festival, an active member of several mutual aid and wellness circles, an enthusiastic punk show attendee and a published poet. She has received several awards for her writing and multiple Chronogrammies for her work with clients. Most recently, she was voted Best Mental Health Counselor in 2023. Prior to opening her private practice, Kristina spent a decade in social services as a domestic violence counselor, foster care case manager, teen mentor, women’s legal advocate, Early Intervention specialist, youth arts group director, and crisis counselor for victims of abuse, neglect and sexual assault. Because she has always been obsessed with balancing pain and joy, she has also taught preschool, run a cupcake shop, managed local bands, and written for several punk music publications.

Currently, Kristina works with clients to integrate deep trauma exploration with energy work and narrative reframing—helping folks of all ages become more mindful, empowered and joyful in their daily lives. An Iranian-Italian-American, Kristina’s philosophy centers around self-empowerment, mindfulness techniques, and consciousness engineering—a combination of ancient Eastern practices and modern Human Potential modalities. On rare days off she can be found reading in a sunspot with her tiny cat, Button, or laughing till her stomach hurts with her three sisters, two nieces, and one nephew.

Today Kristina shares how and why she works to support other's mental health. We talk about the difficulties people may experience on Memorial Day mourning the loss of family members/friends while others protest the day for its perceived pro-military agenda or bypass the grief with barbecues. Kristina shares some thoughts on how to navigate the days' heaviness.

She opens up about her own process of grief and loss related to a long term relationship/friendship and how it has taught her the power of making hard decisions when they are the ones that will open you up to living authentically in your personal freedom. This wasn't her first challenging transition in life. You can read more about the serious accident that caused the pivot in her career leading her to where she is today.

Because of her personal experiences in cutting cords that don't serve you, Kristina supports her clients in doing the same, often helping them release and repair when needed.

I loved this conversation and related to so much of Kristina's lived experience. She's such an inspiration! She can be found on Instagram, Facebook or reached via phone/text (845-383-0137) for anyone interested in connecting with her and her work.

275 "The Goddess Party"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 23 May 2023 02:09:48 +0000

Today is about The Goddess Party, a new project spearheaded from long time Hudson Valley musician Shana Falana in collaboration with Erica Quitzow and Sarah Perrotta. Featuring a choir of 30+ local singers, a rock band, and a willingness to interpret the likes of Kate Bush, Panda Bear, and PJ Harvey. "A cult worth joining."

I am joined by Beth Carestia a member of the Choir like myself, and we hear from several of our co-creators by way of voice memo describing in some way what The Goddess Party means to them... magic, mystery, heart healing, collaboration, trust, creation, fun, true-self, singing, connection, the feminine, The Goddess...

We're performing Friday at 7:30pm. Doors open at 6:30pm and the movie Midsommer will follow our performance. You can get tickets ($12-$15) via Opus 40.

The Goddess Party band is Erica Quitzow, Sarah Perrotta, Betsy Wright, Sarah Carlson, Shana Falana, Lysa Opfer and Jenn Anderson.

Here's a link to the Rosendale Ukulele Group that Beth and I gush about. Another mental health activity for us.

274 Kristin Kessler "Working Motherhood"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 16 May 2023 00:05:11 +0000

Today on the show I am joined by Kristin Kessler, a registered dietitian, yoga teacher, and advocate for equitable access to nutritious food and opportunities to live a healthful lifestyle. She has worked across multiple sectors of the field of nutrition for the past 12 years, including at PR agencies and in community nutrition, like at Food Bank For New York City. She also has a long-held passion for women's rights and equitable opportunities in all aspects of life, particularly the workforce, something she credits to watching her mom work hard and excel in her career while raising her as a single mother after her parents divorced. Herself a new mother of an infant who works outside of the home, she is seeing the world through new eyes and experiencing how much of it isn't set up for the success of birthing people, from prenatal to perinatal to postnatal and beyond.

Originally from New Orleans with a good, long stint in Dallas and Austin, Texas before making her way up to Brooklyn, she now resides in Woodstock, where she lives with her husband, infant son, and dog. She works for the City of Kingston's Health and Wellness Department, where she creates policy, system, and environmental changes to help make healthy choices an easier choice in Kingston for everyone.

How do we move from surviving to thriving in motherhood? Today is an honest conversation on the practical challenges of motherhood from navigating the emotions and personal and public expectations on returning to work to the practical aspects of juggling nursing, pumping, childcare and costs with a work schedule. Kristin shares personal stories that perfectly illustrate why we need better systems in place to support working mothers and parents. So much of this comes down to our value system which practically speaking is largely based upon productivity and finance in a patriarchal system. It's time for a change!

Here is the article I mentioned related to expenditure for child care in the US compared with other wealthy countries, and here's the previous episode where I discussed child care operations with a former daycare provider.

Ahhhh, and then I end the show with a little moon reporting from Tanaaz in honor of Friday's New Moon!

You can get your tickets to The Goddess Party here!

273 "Until Justice Just Is" with Isis Benitez and Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 8 May 2023 21:00:00 +0000

This month on Spirituality and Politics, Marielena and I are joined by Isis Benitez, Lead Director of Communications, Advocacy and Outreach at the YWCA Ulster County. Isis shares the details behind the "Until Justice Just Is" campaign that is underway this week in Kingston and Poughkeepsie featuring film screenings and rallies with speakers all intended to help folks understand the impacts of racism and what we can do to put an end to it. Not only is this campaign creating a safe space for people to talk about racism and its painful effects, but it is also a place to learn more about what you can do to help combat it. Isis is also interested in understanding where the community is as it relates to racism and how we can work together to ends its insidious nature. Because it's mental health awareness month, we spend some time talking about the impacts racism and bullying have on mental health. You can reach Isis at ibenitez@ywcaulstercounty.org.

272 Kristin Moshonas "Mindfulness and Mental Health"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 3 May 2023 02:16:00 +0000

Today's guest is Kristin Moshonas. A yogi for most of her adult life, Kristin embraced a lifestyle of wellness, mindfulness and spirit with the birth of her children, becoming a yoga teacher, then therapist (IAYT 1,000 - HR), and finally adding a more strategic role as Director of Programming, NY for non-profit, Kula for Karma (2017). It is here that she began to delve more deeply into the space of trauma-based healing practices and work with underserved populations. She has co-created, directed and taught in therapeutic programs across the city from The Doe Fund to Covenant House, The Hope Program to Bellevue Hospital and NYC’s Dept. of Education, in the process realizing that helping those who are struggling to find moments of peace and pathways to self-empowerment and growth are what truly give the practice and her teaching purpose. Kristin calls upon previous career experience as a creative marketing executive (Conde Nast, Hearst, Time Inc.) to develop special brand initiatives for Kula, such as the currently running conversation series, Begin Again, and Sam Waterston hosted documentary series, Visionaries (PBS), featuring her work at The Hope Program.

Most recently, she joined the team at Access Mindfulness as Executive Director. AM was born
through an open-hearted vision to help make the transformative power of mindful awareness
accessible to all, working with children, adolescents, full school communities and other non-
profits. In this new role, Kristin adds teaching certifications in MBSR and Inner Strength
Foundation and looks forward to growing the awareness of AM in both NYC and The Hudson
Valley.

Deeply committed to supporting mindful community, she launched Ten of Zen at the start of the
pandemic shutdown, a free daily guided meditation. Over two years later, this remains a Friday
morning offering via her personal social channels, open to any and all who wish to participate.

Kristin is a graduate of The University of Vermont and The Sorbonne and finds great joy as a ski instructor, hiker, world explorer and mom to two teenage boys to men.

Today Kristin and I talk about mental health, how it impacts our overall health and relates to so many aspects of living a rich life, and how to tend to it. We learn about Kristin's path to mindfulness, what that looks like for her, and the work she does at Kula and Access Mindfulness. We hope our conversation inspires you to nurture your mental health daily!

271 Heather Duke "Center for Symbolic Studies" and Daphne Fiori-Wood "St. Baldrick's"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 26 Apr 2023 02:01:45 +0000

Today I enjoyed speaking with Heather Duke - who is one of the sparkly beings and co-creators over at the Center for Symbolic Studies. A non-profit with a mission to inspire nature-based spirituality, leading to personal growth and communal awareness. Founded by Drs. Robin and Stephen Larsen, inspired by the works of friend and mentor Joseph Campbell- The Center for Symbolic Studies has been offering a window into the Mythic Imagination for over 30 years through seasonal festivals, Dream Workshops, sacred teaching by Shamans from around the world, lectures, and celebrations of art and dance surrounded and inspired by nature.

Heather talks about her own work in neurofeedback, dreams, Beltane and the Center's other happenings, Vanaver Caravan, Wild Arts, nature and community. You can follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

Later in the show I share my conversation with Daphne Fiori-Wood who is shaving her hair on April 29th to raise money for childhood cancer research with St. Baldrick’s. Research is hope for kids with cancer, but donations to find cures have been down since 2020. She will also be donating her hair to Wigs forKids!, wigsforkids.org, at the end of the event. Your gift will give kids hope, supporting the best research across the country, through the largest charitable funder of childhood cancer research grants. Cancer kills more of our kids than any other disease. Can you help? Thank you!

Here's the link to Earthday tips to living more sustainably, and here's the show with Kevin Ann Jordan talking about sustainable style.

Today, Elissa shares her path to writing about sustainable tourism, what sustainable tourism means and tips for the traveler on how to adopt more green travel practices.

Following our conversation, I shared a positive story about what has happened locally in my hometown of Olive to better conserve and preserve our natural resources during a time of major development here in the Hudson Valley. The Pacama Conservation Organization has been vital in preserving land near and dear to me.

In the second half of the show I am joined by returning guest, Amy Summers, Raising HOPE Program Director.

On this month’s installment of Spirituality and Politics, Marielena Ferrer and I discuss the state of Media today and it's impact on the younger generation.

268 "Human Design" with Dilek Isildak

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 4 Apr 2023 16:33:27 +0000

Today's guest, Dilek Isildak, is an artist, muse, and human design guide. Making art and the art of living is her way. Born in Turkey, raised in DC and seasoned in NYC, her photography captures the magic and mystery of life. She's been guided by her own personal journey and her passion for connecting dots and seeing patterns to her Human Design work and now guides others in how to live their design.

Today we went where I've never gone before with Human Design, to the neutrinos, stardust and Crystals of Consciousness. For those of you new or not to Human Design, this conversation will give you much to contemplate when it comes to understanding you and your energy body. Yes, we cover some of the basics about the aura types, but we also talk practically about how an understanding of your own design will assist you in living your true self and relating to others in a more compassionate and easeful way.

Here's your Full Moon report that I shared at the end of the show.

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda of Radio Kingston.

267 Dedicated to the Women in My Life

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 16:21:22 +0000

Today I take a trip down memory lane to honor and recognize some of the women I've been close to in my life who have shaped me and my life in some way. During Women's History Month we tend to focus on the famous or unrecognized female "pioneers," but a big theme in this show is that "women's work" is so often undervalued and not rewarded in the same way as most "achievements" are celebrated. This show is me thanking all of the women in my life regardless of "achievement." Your existence is enough! I couldn't name and appreciate all of them and could have shared even more than I did about those I did recognize, but it's a start of a practice that I hope to engage with more regularly. Here are the ones I celebrated on today's show. My Great-Grandmother Viola Dietrich, Grandmother Shirley Cirillo, Grandmother Dorothy Widmann, Mom Sandra Widmann, Aunt and God-Mother Dawn Scarce, Sister Angela Widmann, first friend Stefanie Mulby (Rice), close pals from elementary, middle and high school Jodi Roberts (Finzel), Pamela Toshner (Stubbe) and Ann Casamassa, college Stephanie Berry (Sweeney) and Mary Lindsley, law school Karen O'Keeffe, Sandy Steinman and Jane Sigda, the Squirrels Joyce Manalo, Tiziana Agnello, Emily Furr and Belinda Downey, first Hudson Valley friend Sara Schneller and then a few of the many amazing women in the Hudson Valley who I am so grateful to call friends, Shana Falana, Neslihan Ulus Lord and Tarah Gay. Special shout outs to Tara Sanders for inspiring this show (and being a most amazing friend), Melissa Morse for being on "my team" in elementary school, Rita Bolla Lapinel, Shawn Harrison, Sarah Carlson, Carla Rozman and Marielena Ferrer who've been especially present in the past few years. There are so many who I can think of writing this who I left out like Erin Widmann (Kujawa) duh!, Holly Egan Arnold, Tracy Bettenhausen Jennings, Wendy Wein White, Melissa Walkowiak, Brandie Tetzlaff (McPherson), Claudia Beck (Giesie), Angela Hamilton (Stubbe), Connie DeBie-Bailey, Kathy Obler (Ben's Mom), and of course my nieces! There are others. I don't know how to end it. I feel like making an art project to honor them all. I love each of you and thank you for being a part of my long and winding life.

Here's the playlist I mentioned for those interested in hearing more of the songs that got me through college and beyond.

Today's guest, Martha Frankel, needs little introduction.

Martha Frankel, executive director of Woodstock Bookfest, believes reading and writing are central to our inner lives. Long ago Martha’s real life surpassed even her wildest stories. Her writing career started at the original Details magazine with her column on plastic surgery, called Knifestyles of the Rich and Famous. She went on to write book reviews, essays and celebrity profiles for Details other magazines, such as Movieline, Cosmopolitan and Redbook. Her memoir, Hats & Eyeglasses, chronicling her family’s lifelong love affair with gambling and her own later addiction to online gambling, was published in 2008 (Tarcher/Penguin Group). Martha's work has appeared in magazines as diverse as the original DETAILS, The New Yorker, Fashions of the New York Times, Japanese Vogue and German Men’s Vogue, The Goodguys Gazette, Redbook, Cosmopolitan, and Movieline’s Hollywood Life.

Woodstock Bookfest happens March 30-April 2 in Woodstock, NY.

Martha shares the stories of how she learned to love books, writing and the telling of stories. Listening to her speak about her life and it's many adventures, she sounds fearless, but she shares how that's not necessarily true. Martha shares generously her advice to aspiring writers as well as some of the non-writing bits of her life.

265 "The Art of Living" with Isabel Cotarelo and Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 16 Mar 2023 01:20:55 +0000

On this month's installment of Spirituality and Politics, Marelena Ferrer and I are joined by Isabel Cotarelo, an artist who's life experiences express through her work. "The need to modify the contiguous space and the objects in it has always emanated as an irresistible force. The experiences that I have had throughout my life have changed the output of that force. As a Latina growing up in a matriarchal family, the useful craft making process and cooking that bonded members and generated stories and guidance are now part of my story and a repository from where I can launch a new re-invention of self."

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and living and working in Kingston, NY, Isabel studied Fine Art and Counseling, has received numerous grants and awards and exhibited internationally since 1983.

She co-curated the exhibit at the Arts Society of Kingston featuring women from around the globe to Celebrate "HERstory."

Our conversation weaves through the experiences of being a woman, being raised in a matriarchal family, the importance of spaces for women and Isabel's own HERstory.

264 Art and HERstory with Viktorsha Uliyanova and Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 7 Mar 2023 01:26:04 +0000

Today I am joined by Viktorsha and Marielena, two participating artists in ASK's "HERstory" exhibit showing all month in Kingston, NY. Closing ceremony is on March 25th from 3-5pm. We talk about their work, migration, trauma and celebrating women!

Viktorsha Uliyanova is a New York artist whose photographic, fiber and installation works investigate loss, cultural identity and trauma narrated through the prism of memory. Uliyanova’s practice is informed by her upbringing in the Soviet Union, political repression and the immigrant experience. Although her work is grounded in analog photography, her practice often consists of dialogues between different materials including fabric, video and found objects.Through working with cloth and multimedia installations, Uliyanova registers unrecorded traumatic memories that exist outside of historical archive into physical spaces and form. By working with different textures and alternative processes, she points to what has been hidden or lost and makes it visible.

Uliyanova received her BA in English from Hunter College in New York and is currently pursuing an MFA in Photography and Related Media at State University of New Paltz. Her photographs have been featured in publications including Atlas Obscura, Business Insider, Float Magazine, InStyle Russia, Curated by Girls, Susie Magazine. Uliyanova’s work has been exhibited at a number of national and international venues including, Lorimoto Gallery in New York, Participant Inc. New York, Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art , 8 Ball Zine at MOMA PS1, Das Gift in Berlin, Collarworks in Troy, among others. Her work has been supported by a number of grants including DiPalo-Williams grant,David Lavallee Grant, Sojourner Truth Fellowship and Research for Creative Projects grant. Uliyanova has taught many workshops over the years and is currently an Instructor of Record at SUNY New Paltz.

Marielena Ferrer, my monthly co-host of Politics and Spirituality on I want what SHE has, is an artist and the Executive Director of Humanamente — a diversity and inclusion consulting organization, Chair of the Athena Network New York — a psychosocial support network in the area of social services, health, and specifically in mental health, for immigrants experiencing psychological challenges related to the migratory process, a board member of the Family of Woodstock, a member of the Arts Mid-Hudson Advisory Board, and Kingston’s City Arts Commission.

Marielena is also showing her Broken Monarch's exhibit at SUNY Ulster March 10th-April 14th.

Here's Tanaaz's Moon Report and Cory Nakusue's show the Cosmic Dispatch.

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda of Radio Kingston.

Raised in Florence, Italy with both a great aunt and mother who were psychics, it was normal for the family to get tarot readings on weekends to better prepare for the following week.

262 Beth Fisher-Yoshida "A Woman's Guide to Negotiation"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 16:00:27 +0000

Today's guest is BETH FISHER-YOSHIDA, PH.D., CCS, a global expert and educator in intercultural negotiation and communication. She’s the program director of Columbia University’s Master of Science in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution, a negotiation consultant for the United Nations, and the CEO of the consulting agency Fisher Yoshida International. She works in the U.S. and worldwide, conducting workshops on leadership, culture, workplace conflict, and negotiation, and boasts a client list that includes Fortune 100 companies, nonprofits, military and security forces, governments, NGOs, and educational institutions. Her new book, New Story, New Power: A Woman’s Guide to Negotiation(Bold Story Press; January 23, 2023), helps women of all ages make successful negotiations a reality. Learn more at bethfisheryoshida.com

Beth shares her insight based upon her research about why it is often harder for women to negotiate and offers suggestions about how to overcome the unique challenges women face. Our conversation weaves through ideas about the stories we carry with us, how to identify them and then how to change them so that you can change the outcomes in your life. This includes how and why the brain operates the way it does and tips for circumventing its default. Beth's approach to this work is very thoughtful and grounded in the potency of self awareness. I thoroughly enjoyed reading her book. It's truly going to be powerful for anyone who wants to learn to communicate and collaborate with others better.

BONUS...Beth is offering a free coaching session for the first 30 people who write a review of her book on Amazon!

In the first half of the show I revisit the concept of narrative bias and of course share the New Moon Report from Tanaaz. (Beth's interview begins around minute 39.)

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.

Our show music is from Shana Falana! And we listened to some extra songs from Erika Wennerstrom during the live show.

Spirituality, Politics and Self Love with Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 14 Feb 2023 18:41:58 +0000

On this month's installment of Spirituality and Politics, Marielena and I discuss the latest big media campaign for Jesus, "He Gets Us." We share our thoughts on the goals of this campaign and what it might mean for Christianity. Is this a good thing? Will it really begin to behave like Jesus, and love thy neighbor? Naturally this leads us to talk about cults, but in a productive way, I hope. We talk about the points from this New Yorker article about how people find themselves in high demand groups and why it's hard to leave. How invested are we in our beliefs? What do we sacrifice by not allowing them to evolve with us? Somehow we got on the subject of Madonna and ageism which in a way relates to our final conversation on self love. We leave you with a self love, Valentine's Day, challenge to look yourself in the mirror and say, "I love you." Can you do it fully naked in front of a body mirror? That's some powerful self love!

Plus, Warren and Manuel share top influential women in history. Can you do better than me at guessing them?

260 Manda Zand Ervin "History of the Courageous Women of Iran"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 8 Feb 2023 15:13:34 +0000

Today I reply my interview from February 2020 with MANDA ZAND ERVIN, Founder and Director of the Alliance of Iranian Women. We will be talking about Iran, the beautiful history of Iran, the ruling Women-Gods, the plight of women in Iran under Sharia law, and her new book, “The Ladies’ Secret Society: History of the Courageous Women of Iran.“

During the Iranian Islamic revolution, Manda witnessed the execution of many innocent people, including her high school principal who was murdered because she was a woman and the secretary of education. She witnessed the human rights of the Iranian people, especially the women, taken away from them. She witnessed her homeland leaving the twentieth century to turn backward and she witnessed the effect.

Manda came to the United States as a political refugee on June 17th, 1980, became a citizen three years later and began her fight for human rights in Iran. She is the founder and president of the Alliance of Iranian Women a group which has deep connections within the Iranian diaspora and within Iran.

As the head of the Alliance of Iranian Women, Manda Ervin works to bring the West’s attention to the plight of Iranian women under Islamic Sharia laws. She almost single-handedly gathered the support to pass a 2003 U.S. Senate Resolution on the human rights of the women of Iran. In 2005 Manda was invited to speak at the UN conference on the family in Islamic societies.

Manda is an analyst and writer, published by many online political magazines, like the Hudson Institute, American Thinker, and Family Security Matters, National Review and others. She speaks on TV and radio programs, nationally and internationally, including CNN, BBC, Radio France, VOA, Radio Liberty.

Her book reveals, in print for the first time, the long history of struggle against clerical domination that Iranian women have been engaged in for centuries. Rooted in the proud history of ancient Iran, where Mother-Gods were once worshipped, the Ladies’ Secret Society, an organization founded in the early decades of the 20th Century, was both the inheritor of this proud history, and the progenitor of the contemporary women’s rights campaign in the Iran of today. Zand Ervin relates the stories, and records the accomplishments, of generations of individual women activists, who fought like lionesses for every scrap of freedom they gained, only to see all their hard-won rights destroyed with the coming of Khomeini’s Islamic Revolution. During the Islamic revolution, Zand Ervin witnessed the execution of many innocent people, including her high school principal, who was executed simply because she was a woman, and the Secretary of Education. She offers heartbreaking and compelling eyewitness testimonies of strong and emancipated women who were brutally pushed backwards to living under a crude, medieval society, and who have fought back, under sometimes impossible odds, and continue fighting today. Manda Zand Ervin’s History of Iran, the Iran that has been imprisoned behind a veil offers an insight and context to news of terrorism and the dangers caused by the misogynistic clerical regime ruling Iran which continues to dominate headlines.

258 Amanda Cassiday "Engather - Building Resilient Communities"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 24 Jan 2023 15:57:49 +0000

It wasn’t until Amanda Cassiday (she/her) lived in a rural village in Burkina Faso that she experienced the resilient power of community, and learned that positive, abundant outcomes are not possible without cultivating the conditions that allow individuals, teams, and communities to thrive. For 15 years, this approach has been a driving force in Amanda’s personal and professional life, from facilitating a woman-led microfinance group in Takaledougou that continues to operate since 2009, to leading design teams responsible for some of the most successful launches in Johnson & Johnson’s history, bringing purpose and consumer needs to the heart of strategy & innovation. She is a maker, a student of permaculture, an advisor, coach, and facilitator to businesses, and most recently the co-founder of Engather which seeks to cultivate prosperous, resilient communities by activating local gift economies.

Our conversation weaves through her experiences and the wisdom that she's gleaned through them including thoughts about how capitalism and our current economy is not taking care of the needs of the majority, the codependency inherent in capitalism and the patriarchy, how she was able to step away from the toxicity of capitalism and build community in Kingston, and how community interdependence and belonging is essential for our survival. Along those lines, she recommends the book Community by Peter Block as providing some answers to big questions on how to get community back on track.

256 Spirituality and Politics - The New Year Birthday Show

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 12 Jan 2023 01:44:34 +0000

It's that time of the month! Marielena Ferrer returns for another conversation diving into politics and spirituality. Today on the show we talk about how we're starting out the New Year and how our relationship to TIME has an impact on how we make decisions in life. We also set the tone for our talks on politics, explaining where we're at and check in on our current feelings about the state of political affairs in the US. Today also happens to be my BIRTHDAY so Marielena kindly indulges me in a little Tarot Reading inspired by my personal new year.

255 Happy New Year - Wheel of Life

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 3 Jan 2023 15:00:00 +0000

Happy New Year friends! Today on the show I finish up the chapter that I began reading from last week and then we shift into New Year awareness with a little exercise designed perfectly for the slow wintery introspective time that we are in. It's called the Wheel of Life and it takes us through an inventory of our life so that we can pause and reflect and live life more consciously. This exercise is perfectly aligned with this Friday's Full Moon Astrology which I share briefly from Tanaaz's blog Forever Conscious.

"Wherever this line of questioning leaves you, this first Full Moon of the year is a great time to consider ways to bring more alignment into your life. To assist you with this, try the journal prompt – 'At the end of the day, what matters to me the most is…' and see what inspiration follows."

And here's the Playlist we listened to.

254 "Jesus and the Lost Goddess"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 2 Jan 2023 16:19:15 +0000

Today in honor of Christmas and "Jesus's Birthday," I read from the book, Jesus and the Lost Goddess: The Secret Teachings of the Ancient Christians by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy. I love this book and wanted to share some of its goodness.

253 Vegan Cooking with Nava Atlas

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 21:22:13 +0000

Today on the show, I welcome Nava Atlas, the author of many vegetarian and vegan cookbooks, with hundreds of thousands of books sold over the years. Her books went vegan at the same time she did — the early 2000s. Some include …

She has been featured or contributed to several publications including The New York Times and the Washington Post. Her recipes and vegan living tips have been featured or cited in numerous publications and she's been a guest on countless radio shows and podcasts.

Her involvement with the vegan movement and women’s issues overlaps with my work as an artist. It’s all under the umbrella of social justice. Her work has been shown in numerous galleries and museums and is in a number of public and university collections.

In addition to her involvement in all things vegan, she also creates visually driven books. These have include Secret Recipes for the Modern Wife, a darkly humorous look at the gender roles through the lens of a faux 1950s cookbook and The Literary Ladies’ Guide to the Writing Life (2011), which explores the creative processes of twelve classic female authors through their letters, journals, and interviews. The website that grew from this book is Literary Ladies Guide, which strives to be the most comprehensive resource on women’s classic literature.

Here's the New Moon Astrology from Tanaaz at Forever Conscious.

252 End of the Year Tarot with Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 14 Dec 2022 02:54:58 +0000

Wanting to end the year on a high note, we talk about what the end of the year means and one or two ideas on how to step into the new year. Marielena walks us through what the Tarot reveals to her in the moment as we contemplate the beginning of 2023. Inspired by my weekly chat with Warren and Manuel we revisit the subject of confidence vs. questioning. A favorite quote to sum up that part of the conversation, "Wise people are full of doubt, but the idiots are completely sure."

Have a fabulous New Year, and let us know if you have something you do to transition into the New Year, or any topic you'd like us to cover next year!

Today's bonus conversation with Warren and Manuel is about awkward moments.

251 Adrianne Theetge "Returning to and Taking Care of Self"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 6 Dec 2022 16:27:55 +0000

Adrianne Theetge moved to the Hudson Valley from Georgia after doing disaster relief in NYC for 9/11 in the AmeriCorps NCCC program. After several years working and serving our elections and our political system, she just recently went back to graduate school to fulfill her dream of becoming a teacher. She loves her new career as an ENL teacher serving students who are learning the English language. Experiencing grief after the loss of her brother and father she shares with us some of what has helped her through that process. She is a proud mother of two daughters. One of which, Aliza, has been a guest on the show in the past.She enjoys being outside running on the beautiful trails in the Hudson Valley, playing soccer, reading, thrift store shopping, exploring new places, and meditating (a new found invaluable tool).

I loved our talk today that actually took place at my house over tea. Adrianne is so warm and thoughtful and shares deeply from her heart space about grief, talking through the hard bits, career change, overcoming fears, letting people in, saying yes or no when that's her truth, being a mom, and the secrets to her happy marriage.

Today's bonus conversation with Warren is about brain health.

250 Collaborative Divorce with Nanci Smith, Esq.

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 29 Nov 2022 14:23:53 +0000

Today on the show we're talking divorce. In the first half of the show I talk about my "divorce" and then share a bit of my experience as a divorce attorney and some general thoughts on divorce and separation. Did you know that 40-50% of all marriages end in divorce? Then in the second half of the show I am joined by Nanci A. Smith, Esq., an attorney licensed to practice in Vermont and New York. She is the chair of the Collaborative Divorce section of the Vermont Bar Association, a leader in her collaborative divorce practice group, and a member of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals. She frequently writes and talks about divorce, family law, ethics, and collaborative divorce practices. She believes that a good divorce is possible when you show up for it with humility, compassion, and the correct support. Smith is the author of Untangling Your Marriage: A Guide to Collaborative Divorce (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Oct 11, 2022). Learn more at nancismithlaw.com.

Today Nancy explains what Collaborative Divorce is, the ways of getting divorced, the things to consider when choosing how to get divorced, how to help kids through a divorce and how to take care of yourself and rebuild after a divorce. NOTE: There was a glitch at some point during the recording of the show where 20 seconds was not picked up so there will be a less than seamless explanation when Nanci is taking about the ways of getting divorced. Apologies!

I shared from this article Why it's so hard to leave when things aren't working from the Elephant Journal, and the stats that I shared came from these websites. I also played a few of the songs that got me through my big separation. Those and more can be found at this playlist.

Today we begin by sharing and discussing Nikki Fogerty's weekly Tarot report.

247 Kevin Ann Jordan "Style Coach and Sustainable Style"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 8 Nov 2022 15:59:01 +0000

Kevin Ann Jordan @tailoredstylist has been helping women get dressed since age three, starting with her younger sister. Growing up in a remote mountain town in California, she didn't have a lot of exposure to the fashion world but she loved the bi-annual school clothing shopping trips and reading fashion magazines. Kevin has always wanted to help people, and after a corporate career in the healthcare industry, she realized that she could help women on an individual level through styling. Starting at Stitch Fix, Kevin was trained as a virtual stylist and later started her own business, cultivating a roster of clients around the world from Sydney to New York to Vancouver.

Always practical, Kevin disliked the amount of waste created by the fashion industry, including the amount of low quality clothing piling up in women's closets. With a mantra of quality over quantity, Kevin began to discover the sustainable fashion movement. Starting in her own closet, Kevin learned just how bad our clothing, and consumerist culture is for the planet, its people and animals.

Today, Kevin makes it her mission to help the planet one closet at a time through her one-on-one work with clients, as well as the Sustainable Style Club she launched in 2022. Kevin is spreading the message about buying less, recycling more, curating mindful, beautiful closets and wearing clothes that make us feel great, without compromising the planet.

She’s my guest this week and shares a million good ideas about how to think about what you're wearing and how it impacts the environment starting with understanding your style manifesto, to buying less, re-imagining your clothes and how to recycle them. Her work is truly quite transformative, and I am excited to share this conversation with you.

Here are some of the resources and companies Kevin talked about on the show today: Good On You app and website Goodonyou.eco, ForDays - takeback bag, Marine Layer, Smartwool, Nisolo Everlane,Outerknown,Madewell, Eileen Fisher and Patagonia.

246 The History of the Witch

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 2 Nov 2022 12:39:19 +0000

In honor of the season, I wanted to remind us all of the history of the "witch" and her persecution by reading from Silvia Federici's Caliban and the Witch.

And here's a little Tarot reading for the week.

The playlist we enjoyed throughout the show can be found here.

245 The Art of Pau

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 18:42:31 +0000

PAU Quintanajornet doesn‘t paint pictures. Pau creates worlds – open invitations to a journey into the beauty of Latin American influences and into the spheres of an artist, who with brushes, paint, ink, paper and wood, playfully turns her world inside out. The cleavage between cultures loosens up. From the friction between her Chilean roots and her German home she draws her own symbolism in bright colors and shapes which grows out of the ground like plants rising to the sky. Birds also occupy a large space in Pau‘s World: in her „cosmovision“ they symbolize free spirits of wisdom and peace, spreading their wings and coping with highs and lows of life.

Born in Chile and raised in the former DDR, Pau moved to Berlin at the age of 15 to broaden her horizons and find a creative outlet. She studied communication-design and illustration at the FHTW before taking off to South America. In Valparaiso, Chile, she recharged her batteries and set the course for her future. Falling in love with the Urban Art Movement and Artivism, Pau started to create her first wall pieces down South. Although she eventually returned to Germany, Pau would frequently revisit Latin America - her Motherland - her emotional home. During these returns, she might discover something new about her self or her art, socialize with other artists or improve her techniques. In the collective of the Artivists, Muralistas and Street Artists, Pau found birds of the same feather.

Over the last couple of years Pau has participated in numerous festivals and art projects around the world. These travels and interactions with the people around helped her to find a deeper meaning in her work and get more sensitive for different global realties. Inspired by the words of Pablo Neruda, "The murals are the books of the people “ she started a long term art project called PROJECT WALLFLOWERS in 2013. Her work is found on walls in Egypt, Tunisia, Spain, France, The Netherlands, Germany, United States, China, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Chile … . While Pau‘s walls are on display in public spaces, they are created with the permission of the communities. Her interest lies in sharing her art with people, not creating notoriety for her self.

Today Pau shares begins by telling us how art became the tool she was drawn to as a young person to help her emotionally as her family fled Chile as political refugees and the danger they faced prior to relocating to Germany. There's no doubt that while her childhood was traumatic, it set her up for some profound perspective on who she is and how she wants to live her life. We talked about her becoming an Artivista and how it was the first identity that she claimed as her own versus it being imposed on her by others. We talked about the masculine and the feminine and how she connected with her own inner manifestations of those as she navigated heartache and learned to cultivate love in all she does. Inspired by this quote: "You also learn that there are real priorities and imposed priorities. The beauty of this lifelong journey is that you get the tremendous opportunity to get to know the real you with all its flaws and all its magic. I gain stability when I feel centered and reflected in my work and with the people around me." We talk about how she established her own priorities and how she works to live them each day, including how this impacted her "Art World" and how she moves through the "Art Market." She shared about her work Project Wallflowers, the Blooming Seeds, and #staywithhumanity. We end with a quick share on how she takes care of herself with her active life and how sobremesas are a special part of that.

244 Permission to Pause with Lauree Ostrofsky

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 01:05:58 +0000

For nearly 20 years, Lauree Ostrofsky has served as a speaker, author, coach, and communications consultant with clients including IBM, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Fodors Travel, Liz Claiborne's domestic violence awareness program Women's Work, and the Girl Scouts of the USA. I'm also founder of Hudson Valley Women in Business in upstate New York, and the #HugTour Movement.

She returns to the show today to talk about taking a pause and the permission needed to do so. She shares an abbreviated version of an important life transition that propelled her to where she is today, and then catches us up on where she is now, as a new step-mom and someone who needs to take a break from certain work obligations in order to keep the balance in her life and the clarity in moving forward. We talk about the difficulty in saying no, or taking a pause from something important as well as how she is doing motherhood differently by keeping some of her time and her things sacred to her alone. Finally she walks us through how she finds the "permission" to do difficult things and shares ways for you to find that for yourself.

Her memoir, I’m scared & doing it anyway (2013), shares the hospital epiphany that led her to create a life and career she loves. Her second book, Simply Leap: Seven Lessons on Facing Fear and Enjoying the Crap out of Your Life (2016), helps you forge your own path of reinvention, cupcakes and dance parties included.

243 Art with Shauna Kanter and the Art of Living Together with Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 12 Oct 2022 15:23:08 +0000

It's another conversation inspired by Spirituality and Politics with Marielena Ferrer. Today we are joined by Shauna Kanter for the beginning of the show to talk about her upcoming play "Art" which is running Oct. 13th-23rd in Bethany Hall at the Old Dutch Church in Kingston, NY. We discussed themes of the play which launched us into a lively conversation in the remainder of the show around conflict, conversations, gentrification, an artists role (or not) in gentrification and valuing art in our economy. It was a lively one which makes sense with yesterday's Full Moon in Aries. No time for a full moon report, but you can read yours here.

242 Kissey Asplund "Generation Watts" and the Circle Creative Collective "LUMINOUS"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 4 Oct 2022 17:46:49 +0000

Kissey Asplund of Generation Watts works as a creative consultant specializing in the process of generation and creative subatomic energy. Her creativity expresses itself as a music producer, generator, multi-disciplinary artist, and meditator based in New York City. Amongst other things, today we talk deeply about her unique background, how her creativity is enhanced through meditation, and we get to experience a sound meditation titled Embrace Yourself. Kissey will be at the O+ Festival this weekend, Saturday, October 8th at 7pm at the Good Work Insitute offering: Access Your Connection & Blossom Your Inner Creativity which is a guided meditation where you can experience stillness, deeper connection with self, inner empowerment, and presence—through easy, gentle movements and simple breath techniques. These modalities are used to relax into the body and activate a deeper state of meditation, well-being, and inner creativity. The meditation will oscillate between deeper moments of stillness and release, with moments of building empowerment (inner energy). You can do the class sitting, standing, or lying down. A soundtrack written by Kissey will support your meditation.

Circle Creative Collective and their upcoming event, LUMINOUS.

LUMINOUS is a powerful celebration of the thinning of the veil between worlds, gifting us a unique way to honor our ancestors, the beloved departed, and even aspects of ourselves that we may have buried. Through story, song, community, a journey into the earth and our own hearts, LUMINOUS is a beautiful balm that will help bring light to these coming darker months of introspection.

It is a celebration of life, by honoring grief, impermanence, and the wisdom of the unseen world. Together with BLOOM, this second offering of hope and healing completes an important story of life's most essential cycles of birth and death. At the heart of LUMINOUS are gifts shared to find light in the dark through re/connection and song. LUMINOUS is a living reminder that we are held by nature, love and magic, and that we hold the alchemizing, transformative powers of creativity.

Happening at 5 and 8pm on October 29th & 30th LUMINOUS will take you into the cavernous heart of the Earth through contemplative story and song. This exquisite interactive experience will remind us that even in the coldest, darkest times we are held by beauty, that we are magic, and that each of us can be a light in the dark.

240 Kingston Design Showhouse with Maryline Damour and Jennifer Salvemini

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 21 Sep 2022 01:29:00 +0000

Joining me today are two highly talented women, Maryline Damour and Jennifer Salvemini.

Maryline is a seasoned interior designer, entrepreneur, and home expert based in the Hudson Valley. She founded the design/construction firm Damour Drake with partner Fred Drake, and then developed Kingston Design Connection and the annual Kingston Design Showhouse to help connect designers, makers, artists, contractors and design/build businesses in the region.

I’m honored to have her return to the show this year considering she has since appeared on the Drew Barrymore show and been featured on a billboard in Time Square! Looking forward to learning about becoming a non-profit and what to look forward to at this year’s showhouse.

P.S. you can catch previous conversations she’s had with other creatives on her radio show, “Maryline By Design.”

Jennifer Salvemini is at heart a producer, bringing elements from her personal passions into cohesive creations, ranging from living spaces to curated events. As a student of anthropology and philosophy, her academic interests evolved into an obsession for aesthetic expression in all areas of culture. She developed an intense appreciation for deep sensory experiences and finds great satisfaction in creating sensational experiences for others. Jennifer is an interior designer living and practicing in the Catskills and is the founder of Hinterland. Hinterland is an unfurling dream. It's a playground, a sanctuary, and a home – an evolving concept to bridge disciplines, build community and generate joy. You're invited! Jennifer is also a member of the Kingston Design Connection strategy team, the organization which produces the annual Kingston Design Show House, as well as a participant designer.

This year’s showhouse takes place October 7-23. We talk about lots more including career changes, following your passion, stars aligning, magic happening, and how to keep the design world aimed towards quality of life for all regardless of income levels.

Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radio Kingston.

All levels of contribution are welcomed at https://www.gofundme.com/f/MohawkReturn

"On a spectacular ribbon of cropland in the Schoharie Valley of Central New York sit the remains of an old Mohawk village on what is now a 60-acre working berry farm. The Waterfall Unity Alliance, a 501c3, put a deposit down on the farm as part of a community-supported landback effort, butan additional $575,000 is needed by Sept. 30, the closing date, to purchase the farm for a new Kanien’kehá:ka community in the Valley. Please help us get the farm!!!!"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 23 Aug 2022 21:42:06 +0000

I'm still in newborn land so playing an oldie but goodie in honor of Olivia Newton John and this weekend's Summer Hoot with Olivia super fan and musician Gail Ann Dorsey and Hoot founder and musician Ruth Ungar Merenda. These interviews originally aired in January 2018 when Shana and I were hosting together. It was our second episode! I could listen to these women speak for days...

P.S. Gail says to see the movie Network! And here's such a profound example of her talent.

We also heard these songs today: My Baby Drinks Water by the Mammals, 2Gether by Naiika Sings, Good Things by Olivia K and the Parkers, La Belleza by Lau Noah, Magic Powers by Liana Gabel, If You Could Hear Me Know by the Mammals. Check out the playlist to listen!

236 "Politics and Spirituality" with Marielena Ferrer and Mya Bailey

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 9 Aug 2022 19:58:30 +0000

Today, Marielena steers the ship and is joined by artist and art historian/historian Mya Bailey for this month's installment of Politics and Spirituality. Theresa and baby Aiden do make a guest appearance. Today's conversation approaches reproductive freedom from the perspective of justice and equity and where it's lacking in the health care system. Mya has focused much of her art on the idea of race and how it's both impacted her internally as well as externally. Marielena brings themes from this recent NY Time's Article to the conversation, and we learn about Mya's artwork placement in the Yale University’s Art and Art History journal @asteriskjournal.

You can find Marielena engaged in the an/aesthetics @rosekill.art.farm opening Sunday August 14, 6-9pm. 177 Binnewater Road.

The show at this location will change and evolve over the next 10 months. Please follow @anaesthetics_rosekill to track this experimental outdoor exhibition.

As an/aesthetics suggests, we sought projects that reimagine collective assumptions about the aesthetically acceptable. For example, how might new paradigms emerge with mutuality and reciprocity, inclusivity, regeneration, imperfection, entanglement, slowness and authenticity? Can we create space for bodily intelligence, the imperceptible, irregularity, playfulness and nonsense?

Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.

We also get to speak about Shauna's background in theater and as an actor and how she transitioned to directing including some of the important plays she's worked on over the years and what Voice Theatre is up to these days. Their work includes supporting undocumented and unaccompanied young men in Kingston to tell their stories to Kingston High Schoolers, facilitating a connection and a deeper understanding of the stories of others. Shauna and I also discuss the voice in general and the power it has to convey and also to heal when our voices have been restricted or suppressed during our lifetimes. It's powerful work that I hope you'll tune in for!

Marielena Ferrer is a socially engaged visual artist who serves as the chair of the Kingston City Arts Commission. She also chairs the Alianza Cultural de Kingston, an advisory board for the promotion, connection and celebration of the arts and cultures of the diverse Hispanic communities, and is the Executive Director of Humanamente, a diversity and inclusion consulting organization.

Today we talk about the separation of Church and State, or the lack thereof.

Her upcoming artist residency with interactive art making is running from July 15-August 20 at WAAM and then she'll be exhibiting August 20–September 11.

Artist Marielena Ferrer will have a six-week residency and interactive project from July 15–August 20 in the YES gallery, which Ferrer will use as a studio space. Ferrer will lead a series of 30-minute workshops that invite visitors to engage in collective artmaking. While creating paper butterflies with the artist, visitors will discuss the ideas that Ferrer’s work probes, including the monarch butterfly migration quest, its symbolic connection to migrant children at the U.S.-Mexican border, the Trump-Pence administration’s “zero-tolerance” policy and the negative consequences of the policy on the health and well-being of immigrant and U.S. citizens alike. A subsequent installation of the artist’s paper butterflies will be on view from August–September 11 in the same gallery.

PUBLIC PROGRAMS Opening Reception Saturday, July 16, 4-6pm WAAM will host an opening reception to celebrate the beginning of the artist residency and a new round of exhibitions throughout WAAM’s galleries.

Artist Talk Saturday, August 20th, 3-4pm Marielena Ferrer will discuss her work and residency in a roundtable conversation.

WORKSHOPS A series of workshops with Marielena Ferrer will be offered on a drop-in basis throughout WAAM’s open hours during the designated weekends below. Workshops are free, designed for people of all ages, and no reservations are required.

Saturday, July 16, 4-6pm Opening Weekend: To begin her residency at WAAM, Ferrer will invite visitors to come to the YES gallery and learn about her process and project.

Friday, July 22–Sunday, July 24, 12-5pm Upstate Art Weekend Throughout Upstate Art Weekend, which celebrates the cultural vibrancy of upstate New York, Ferrer will lead 30-minute workshops in which visitors learn to create paper butterflies. Visitors will also have the opportunity to chat with Ferrer and discuss the conceptual underpinnings of her work.

Saturday, July 30, 12-5pm Focus on Families Visitors will learn about butterfly migration and make butterflies for the WAAM installation. Drawing materials will also be available for kids and families to draw and explore WAAM exhibitions.

Saturday, August 6, 12-5pm Installation Day The full exhibition of Ferrer’s butterflies will be installed in the YES gallery, as visitors are invited to join the artist in exploring human and animal migration and the importance of art and activism.

231 The Freedom Show - Life and Liberty of the Constitution

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 5 Jul 2022 15:55:36 +0000

It's the 4th of July which means it's my old roomie and pal Mary's Birthday. Now that's worth celebrating!!!

Today I teach Con Law 101. Okay, not really, but I wanted to deepen my understanding of the 14th Amendment which I haven't thought about in detail since law school. While the language, "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws," seems straight forward to me as it relates to body autonomy, the Supreme Court has battled over the concept of liberty and the right to privacy for decades. I wanted to understand why. I enter the rabbit hole to the recent Supreme Court decision in Dobbs and end with my unfortunate and cynical conclusion that the court interprets the laws the way it wants to.

Admittedly, it's not an easy task wrangling the different thoughts and opinions from over the years, but truthfully I don't know why we are turning to precedent that existed when women had no official rights under the constitution. That being said, there is plenty of common law to show that abortion was not criminalized prior to the quickening stage, and that often abortion was criminalized to protect the life of the mother because abortion practices were quite dangerous. I also don't understand why the issue at hand isn't a women's right to body autonomy and to make personal and private health decisions. I can only conclude it's because if that was the "right" that was to be reviewed and balanced against a State's interest, the Court would be hard pressed to come to the same decision. There was zero consideration, review, analysis or balancing of a woman's interest in her health as it relates to the often life threatening and nearly always life changing state of being pregnant. We've officially returned to the dark ages.

230 Joyce Manalo, Chloe Caldwell, Sari Botton, and Aileen Weintraub "Health and Uteruses"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Fri, 1 Jul 2022 00:23:38 +0000

Joyce Manalo, founder of Kala Health and Wellness, is a Certified Health Coach who is an advocate for diabetes and mental health awareness. Formerly a Community Health Worker in Dallas, TX, Joyce has an important perspective on health inequities and with the recent Supreme Court's decision related to women's health, some important thoughts on the state of women's health in Texas. Here's her YouTube channel!

Bad news! The radio station's mechanism that records all the content failed halfway through the show and I lost the conversation with Chloe, Sari and Aileen about their uteruses, how they've impacted their lives and how the medical establishment has failed them. I wanted to share their backgrounds with you so that you can go out and get their memoirs which go into loads more details from what they shared during our conversation. We talked about how women's stories, now more than ever, are important to ensuring the truth about and support for women's bodies is shared with others.

Chloe Caldwell is the author of three books: I’ll Tell You in Person, Women, and Legs Get Led Astray. Her essays have been published in The New York Times, Bon Appétit, The Cut, The Strategist, BuzzFeed, NYLON, VICE, Longreads, and many anthologies. Her essay “Hungry Ghost” was listed as Notable in The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2017. She lives in Hudson, New York, and teaches creative writing online at Writing Workshops, LitReactor, and the Fine Arts Work Center. Find out more at www.chloesimonne.com. Her latest, The Red Zone is a searching, galvanizing memoir about blood and love: how learning more about her period, PMS, PMDD, and the effects of hormones on moods transformed her relationships—to a new partner, to family, to non-blood kin, and to her own body.

Sari Botton is a Gen-X writer and editor living in Kingston, NY. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, the Guardian, and elsewhere. She is a contributing editor at Catapult, and the former Essays Editor for Longreads. She edited the award-winning, bestselling anthologies Goodbye to All That: Writers on Loving and Leaving New York and Never Can Say Goodbye: Writers on Their Unshakable Love for New York. She teaches creative nonfiction at Wilkes University, Catapult, and Bay Path University. She publishes the newsletters Oldster Magazine, Memoir Monday, and Adventures in Journalism.

Her new memoir, And You May Find Yourself... is about “finding” yourself later in life—after first getting lost in all the wrong places. As Botton discovers, the wrong places famously include her own self-suppression and misguided efforts to please others (mostly men). In a series of candid, reflective, sometimes humorous essays, Botton describes coming to feminism and self-actualization as an older person, second (and third and fourth) chances—and how maybe it’s never too late to find your way...
assuming you’re lucky enough to live long. Sari was last on the show talking about Oldster Magazine at the end of 2021. In Sari's memoir she has a chapter, "My Hysterectomy, a Love Story," which reflects on her journey to conceive and what she learned when she reach the end.

Aileen Weintraub is the author of Knocked Down: A High-Risk Memoir, a laugh-out-loud story about a commitment-phobic Brooklyn girl who, after a whirlwind romance, finds herself living in a rickety farmhouse, pregnant, and faced with five months of doctor-prescribed bed rest because of unusually large fibroids. Publishers Weekly says, “Love, marriage, and a harrowing pregnancy yield a haunting story of survival in this gripping account.” Aileen has written for the Washington Post, Glamour, Parents, Al Jazeera, Huff Post,NBC, Lit Hub and AARP among others. She is also the author of the middle-grade social justice books, Never Too Young! 50 Unstoppable Kids Who Made a Difference, which won a Parents Choice Award, and We Got Game! 35 Female Athletes Who Changed the World, A Mighty Girl Best Book of the Year. Aileen was recently chosen as Erma Bombeck’s Humor Writer of the Month for Knocked Down. Find her on Twitter @aileenweintraub or drop her a note at Aileenweintraub.com Aileen was last on the show in February to talk about her book. In light of the recent Supreme Court decision, I am excited to hear her thoughts about the future of women's health and personal freedom.

Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radio Kingston.

We also heard music from Shana Falana!

229 "The Bullied Brain" with Jennifer Fraser

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 21 Jun 2022 15:10:37 +0000

Today my guest is JenniferFraser, best-selling author and award-winning educator. Her online courses and workshops provide dynamic lessons in the impact neuroscience has on personal development and culture change. Her previous book, Teaching Bullies: Zero Tolerance on the Court or in the Classroom, explores what happens when the bully is a teacher or coach. Her new book, The Bullied Brain: Heal Your Scars and Restore Your Health, delves into how bullying affects the brain and how the brain can heal. Learn more at bulliedbrain.com

I've been glued to this book which is rich with information about bully culture, the damage it causes our brains, and what we can do about it. It's a sad reality that our culture is so seeped in bullying and abuse — from children’s playgrounds to the upper echelons of leadership — that we’ve come to normalize the behavior and overlook the wreckage. This bullying paradigm has parents, teachers and coaches believing they must be tough to the point of emotional abuse in order for children to acquire the grit and resilience needed to attain excellence in a competitive world. The research shows however that the bullied brain correlates with failure to perform, substance abuse, aggressive behavior, chronic disease and mental illness.

Some of the topics we get into are the bullying paradigm, toxic masculinity vs. toxic stress, the "invisible" brain damage cause by bullying and toxic stress, open vs. fixed mindsets, building resilience, and in honor of Juneteenth I share some personal thoughts on how slavery was an extreme form of bullying and how we should consider what we've learned from Jennifer when understanding how to heal from it's legacy.

227 "Holistic Health" with Cornelia Wathen, Diana Seiler and Alannah Henneberry

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 6 Jun 2022 22:57:30 +0000

Today I get to speak with three members of the Holistic Health Community,Cornelia Wathen, Diana Seiler, and Alannah Henneberry.

Since 2012 HHC has offered Community Holistic Healthcare days at the Marbletown Community Center, 3564 Main Street, Stone Ridge (Route 209), on the third Tuesday of each month, from 4:00–8:00 PM. Then in March 2020 they shifted to offer virtual sessions during the last week of each month. Now that they are back to in person, they continue this virtual offering an ongoing event for out-of-town practitioners, for practitioners whose modalities are not appropriate for shared space (such as sound healing) and for practitioners who prefer virtual work.

During these events practitioners offer a wide range of services including acupuncture, reflexology, chiropractic, massage, Brennan Healing Science, Reiki, OrthoBionomy, NeurOptimal, Biophonton Therapy, One Light Healing Touch, Attunement, Reconnective Healing, Matrix Energetics, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Hypnotherapy, The Emotion Code, Spacious Heart Guidance, Psycho-Spiritual Counseling, Craniosacral Therapy, and much more!

Additionally, they offer a variety of special events, including speakers and workshops related to expanding consciousness and exploring holistic health, and in collaboration with the Rosendale Theatre Collective, they co-sponsor the screening of films related to health and well-being. See their Film Archive for the full scope of programming.

The Holistic Health Community operates under the principle of Sacred Reciprocity/Paying it Forward. So, though there is no charge for services, they encourage sacred reciprocity by giving a donation, by doing volunteer work or by an act of loving kindness for someone in need. No one is turned away.

A little about my guests before we get into the conversation:

Cornelia Wathen regularly offers Brennan Healing Science and Emotion Code work at HHC events. She is one of the founders of The Holistic Health Community, and coordinates the Community Holistic Healthcare Days and Virtual Holistic Healthcare Weeks.

Diana Seiler is a licensed Thai Massage practitioner and instructor and has been serving with the Holistic Health Community for several years, most recently overseeing their Regenerative Farming: Soil to Soul Program.

And finally, Alannah Henneberry is an energy worker and certified Shamanic Reiki Healing Master. She has joined their mission to help advance the Holistic Health Community's Holistic Healthcare to the People! initiative, aiming to make holistic healthcare accessible to locally underserved communities through their Outreach Program.

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda of Radio Kingston.

226 "Decoding Health" Sarah Ann Carlson

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 31 May 2022 00:55:14 +0000

Sarah Carlson is a health coach who was diagnosed with breast cancer in late 2020. What followed was a deep plunge into her health, genetics, nutrient levels and energetic and mental healing as she figured out the roadmap to wellness, vitality, and resilience that was individualized and informed by her unique genetics.

At this point, the deep darkest night of the soul of her cancer journey is passed, and despite being stage 2A at time of her surgery, she just celebrated her one year anniversary of her diagnosis with her first mammogram and ultrasound, and is well and cancer-free! She’s learned a lot along the way and is now helping others decode their health. You can sign up for Sarah's newsletter and follow her on Instagram @decodinghealthprogram to get notifications about podcast episodes, blog posts, happenings, or to just hear about her work and her journey.

Today's episode is rich with useful information. Some key take aways: a one size approach may not be the most efficient or the most effective approach to managing one's health; it's important to have a complete picture of your health including genetics and nutrient levels via bloodwork; hormone imbalance in women is prevalent, but there's lots that can be done; speaking of, it's important for you to know about choline; there are good and not so good ways to detox the body, it can happen quite naturally with the proper support; knowing how and where your body is taking in toxins is a part of the overall equation; health also encompasses emotional wellbeing and intergenerational trauma.

Here's where you can learn more about People's Place Holistic Care Day.

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda of Radio Kingston.

225 Lisa Marie Darling "Soundscapes and Lullabies"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 23 May 2022 19:50:29 +0000

New York-based sound healing artist Lisa Marie Darling crafts meditational soundscapes to foster emotional and energetic reconnection. Through a cappella vocalization and experimental, looped melody formation, Lisa creates otherworldly compositions to aid in identifying and unlocking fossilized trauma and grief. To date, she has released three albums—Darling Lullabies (2014), Canciones De Cuna (2017), and Into The Deep (2022). Her latest album presents a guided journey through inner emotional landscapes, integrating the vital healing energies of the celestial bodies of Earth, Sedna, Venus, Saturn, Mercury, and the moons of Mars, Jupiter, and Neptune. Listeners will be led into a calming space where surrender, meditation, reflection, and contemplation feel safe, possible, and sacred.

Today, Lisa shares her background and why she began doing the sound work including the four major life events that led her to the work including her mystical experiences and her life's challenges. We begin talking about lullabies and their potent ability to heal and reduce pain and suffering not only babies, but also during palliative care. We then get to listen to some of the soundscapes, and she talks about how they came to be through her connection to astrology and planetary energies. We end our conversation talking about Lisa's advocacy work to reduce sound pollution that was infiltrating her living space.

To experience the magic firsthand, you can join one of Lisa’s livestream Soundscape Journey events via the free Insight Timer meditation app. You can also find her music on Spotify, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, and YouTube or follow Darling on Instagram and TikTok. If you are interested in hosting a live Soundscape Journey event in the Hudson Valley area, you can contact Lisa directly and you can learn more about her work and all of her online and in-person offerings via www.lisamariedarling.com.

Finally, you can learn more about the Headstone Gallery event in which Lisa's Soundscapes will be a part of coming opening June 4th over here.

And here's your Forever Conscious Moon report for the upcoming New Moon!

224 "BLOOM" with Circle Creative Collective

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 17 May 2022 15:06:30 +0000

Today I am joined by Melissa Hewitt, Mirabai Trent, and Jenny Wonderling from Circle Creative Collective to talk about their upcoming happening, BLOOM, and their ongoing work to build on their commitment of connecting and inspiring diverse communities by sharing and preserving traditional crafts and skills.

BLOOM: the Rebirth invites you to rediscover your dreams and your most joyous and authentic you. Step upon candlelit paths through interactive dreamscapes celebrating wonder and the fullness of spring. Join our visceral journey through the woods and be both witness and player on an exuberant full sensory experience where performance meets the sacred and celebration. This is avant-garde ceremony, breaking the bounds and touching pure magic as creativity emerges from the trees and forest floor, falls from the sky, and is illuminated all around you. It's a spectacle, an inspiration, an awakening and an offering to the earth and our collective future. This May, meet magical creatures who will share wisdom, music, dance, and even bring healing. BLOOM is living theater wrapped in a prayer.

We also talked about their offerings Sankofa, Chrysalis for teens program, and their Craft Preservation workshops. It was a lively and loving conversation about their relationships to rebirth, joy, conscious living and connecting in community.

Hope to see some of you at BLOOM on May 28th or June 4th at the Stone Ridge Orchard! Remember to reach out to them if you want to help out or would like to request a sliding scale ticket discount.

Oh, and here's the information on this Saturday's Together for Mental Health Community Walk.

222 Kia Abilay "The Gift of Listening" and Lisa Hantes "The Gift of Giving"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 3 May 2022 23:35:20 +0000

Today I celebrate the life of Kia Abilay. She was a guest on the show September 21, 2021 when she talked about her book, The Gift of Listening: Cultivating Your Connection to Spirit. The part of her story we didn't get into in her interview was how she had been diagnosed with esophageal cancer and what she was doing to heal from it. Kia passed on November 22, 2021 and so today, on her birthday and the day of her Celebration of Life, I read from portions of her book in her honor.

Then in the second hour of the of the show, I am joined by Lisa Hantes president of the board of directors for Angel Food East, one of Kia's favorite local charities which was chosen for remembrance donations in her honor. Lisa has been the board president for the last 8 years and is also a volunteer chef. Locals may know her as the GM and co-proprietor of Keegan Ales, where she worked together with her husband Tommy for the past 10-12 years. She also works with Ulster Literacy association as a grant administrator and tutor trainer. Lisa lets us know how we can support the work of Angel Food East and all the cool happenings on the horizon at Keegans.

Don't forget about Marielena's opening this Friday at the Dorsky in New Paltz!

#221 Domestic Violence and Lara Sabanosh, Author of "Caged"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 26 Apr 2022 22:13:55 +0000

The content of today's show won't be uplifting, at least not most of it, but it's real and necessary information not to be ignored or forgotten. We will be talking about intimate partner violence or domestic violence and abuse so sensitive ears may want to avoid listening. My colleague Mariel Fiori shared this first story with me and covered it on her radio show which is in Spanish, but I'll link to it for those who are able to listen. It's a story about a 17 year old girl, Yesmi Lara, who was severely beaten by the father of her two year old daughter. You can contribute to Yesmi Lara's Go Fund Me.

Then I share from this article, Six Ways to Support a Loved One In An Abusive Relationship via NPR and talk about the impacts of trauma and abuse via the story of Melissa Lucio. False confessions are more common than you might think. More than a quarter of people exonerated by the Innocence Project in recent decades had confessed to the crime they allegedly committed, as Science reported.

Then there was this important news story related to abuse in the military, Air Force General Found Guilty of Sexual Assault via NPR.

Here's the info about the Women Who Serve in the Military event happening this Friday, April 29th, and the Stand Against Racism Event at YWCA Ulster County on Friday, 4/29 at 4:30PM.

We take a break from the heavy to talk this weekend's NEW MOON REPORT!

In the second half of the show I welcome Lara Sabanosh who grew up in various parts of the country and for a time, lived overseas in Guantanamo Bay (GTMO), where she was an education service facilitator at the Fleet and Family Support Center and became acting director in December 2013. She spent much of her adult life as a wife, mother and student, eventually completing two doctoral degrees. Six years in the making, her new book, Caged: The True Story of Abuse, Betrayal and GTMO, is an honest and introspective memoir detailing the never-before-told other side of an international, headline story, taking readers through the first twenty years of her tumultuous marriage to Christopher Tur, to events as she lived them on the night he went missing and the aftermath. Lara is currently retired from government service, residing quietly in Pensacola, Florida, surrounded by her loving family, dogs, and grand puppies.

Lara shares about the difficulties and challenges faced when confronting and getting out of an abusive relationship, about the prevalence of abuse in the military and how they are failing to properly address it, and how she has learned to talk to her children about it and why that's important.

220 Kaity Altu "Child Care Connections"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 19 Apr 2022 16:07:19 +0000

Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Kaity Altu, Grant Manager, Child Care Connections at Family of Woodstock about the importance of investing in children. The NYS Office of Children and Family Services is offering a new grant opportunity to help open new child care programs in our region! The INVEST IN NEW YORK CHILD CARE DESERTS GRANT hopes to address child care deserts across our state by offering $100 million in funding to help build child care in the areas of New York with the least supply. Child care deserts are areas that do not have enough licensed and registered child care slots to serve the children who live there and can be found throughout NY State. The grant is open until Thursday, May 18th.

We talk about the grant as well as the importance of childcare for a well functioning society, the challenges faced by childcare providers, the financial barrier to childcare and the issues that impact it, and how the US ranks in global terms of investment in childcare and child poverty.

You can reach out to Kaity with childcare questions at kaltu@familyofwoodstockinc.org and checkout her "krafts" on Facebook.

Here are the other resources I mentioned; Screening children for anxiety via NPR.

Freakonomics Podcast - Why does the US have the highest child poverty rates.

And last but not least, the Heal Well "Together for Mental Health Panel" that I mentioned and will be moderating on May 5 at 5:30pm.

#219 Sacred Activism and Emergent Leadership with Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 12 Apr 2022 16:55:15 +0000

Back at it for another round of deep thoughts and wild talks with Mariaelena Ferrer.

The second Monday of the month is inspired by the book, Espiritualidad y Politica, which was published 11 years ago, of which Mariaelena was a contributor. She is also the Executive Director of Humanamente — a diversity and inclusion consulting organization, Chair of the Athena Network New York — a psychosocial support network in the area of social services, health, and specifically in mental health, for immigrants experiencing psychological challenges related to the migratory process, a board member of the Family of Woodstock, a member of the Arts Mid-Hudson Advisory Board, and Kingston’s City Arts Commission.

Today, we veer ever so slightly away from the book to discuss this article about bridging the divide between political groups. Then we return to the book to discuss the themes of sacred activism, emergent leadership and the shadow. We end the show with the upcoming Full Moon report on the intriguing Eris.

Join Marielena for her art opening, Broken Monarchs, at The Dorsky Museum on May 6th from 5-7pm.

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda of Radio Kingston.

#218 Trauma or Toxic Masculinity

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 5 Apr 2022 01:51:56 +0000

Today's show is dedicated to Sexual Assault Awareness Month and an exploration of toxic masculinity. Inspired by the anger displayed at the Oscars and the Grammy awarded to Louis CK, I dig into some questions I have about the source of this behavior and the ways we can work together to prevent it. I share the following talks and words from others who've spoken on these subjects including lots of my own thoughts. Would love to hear yours.

Tony Porter's (A Call to Men) Ted Talk about the "Man Box.".

Are there problems with the term toxic masculinity.

Jackson Katz's TedxTalk "Violence against women - it's a men's issue" and the bystander approach.

How is trauma related to toxic masculinity, "How Trauma Creates Toxic Masculinity"

Toxic Masculinity to Male Fragility

Privilege's role in this healing/changing this behavior. Chuck Derry from Gender Violence Institute May 3, 2019

Man Enough Podcast and Justin Baldoni's TedTalk

How are we all complicit with the adherence to traditional masculinity in the military.

#217 Opening Up the Abortion Conversation

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 29 Mar 2022 01:38:15 +0000

Today, I approach the subject of abortion with a (somewhat) open mind. I appreciate the fact that this is a divisive topic, and my hope is to relieve some of the pressure on the subject so that we can address the practical issues that are related to reproductive care. As someone who believes that it should a person's choice whether or not they have a child, I am committed to taking action to maintain that choice, but I am open to listening to and understanding other's opinions.

So in my attempt to keep an open mind, I share two TedxTalks by women who are holding space for non-divisive conversations around this subject. Staying true to my own need to keep fighting for the right to choose, I share a Ted Talk that gives hope and suggestions for what to do when Roe is overturned. Finally, I share Ted Talk that has nothing to do with abortion or reproductive rights, but it's as a reminder that life is complicated, people are complicated and their stories are not single nor straightforward, so let's keep an open mind as we have these discussions. Plus a little New Moon wisdom...

TedxTalk by Asha Dahya, Journalist and women’s rights activist; founder/editor of GirlTalkHQ.com, presents: “Reframing Reproductive Rights: Going Beyond Pro-Choice vs Pro Life” Asha shares her big idea surrounding what it would it look like if we took the most divisive topic in America and changed the narrative beyond pro-choice and pro-life?

Ted Talk The End of Roe v. Wade by Kathryn Kolbert, Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 decision protecting people's right to have an abortion in the United States, will be overturned within a year, says reproductive rights attorney Kathryn Kolbert. In this electrifying call to action, she breaks down the systematic attack against reproductive freedom in the US and envisions what a post-Roe world could look like. "First, we've got to build a badass social justice movement," she says.

And just for reference, TedxTalk by Pro-Life Feminist Deanna Wallace. (not listened to on the show)

TedxTalk about "wholelife" principles, the precursor to "pro-life" and what's been left out of it today by Khadija Garrison Adams, former missionary, master storyteller and Black breastfeeding champion Khadija Garrison Adams talks about the ways that fear of pregnancy impacts people who aren't unmarried young adults, unpacks how our understanding of the pro-life movement is based on a faulty version of its history and how it's origin story is ripe for building a third way in the conversation - a way that could be led by a group ignored by pro-life and pro-choice champions - The Black Church.

TED Talk The Danger of a Single Story by novelist and author of We Should All Be Feminists Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, which tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice -- and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person, we risk a critical misunderstanding.

Maternal Mortality Stats

Stories for Choice from the TMI Project

And finally, here's your Moon report.

#215 Marielena Ferrer "War Through the Lens of the Tarot"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 15 Mar 2022 14:51:14 +0000

Back at it for another round of deep thoughts and wild talks with Mariaelena.

The second Monday of the month is inspired by the book, Espiritualidad y Politica, which was published 10 years ago, of which Mariaelena was a contributor. She is also the Executive Director of Humanamente — a diversity and inclusion consulting organization, Chair of the Athena Network New York — a psychosocial support network in the area of social services, health, and specifically in mental health, for immigrants experiencing psychological challenges related to the migratory process, a board member of the Family of Woodstock, a member of the Arts Mid-Hudson Advisory Board, and Kingston’s City Arts Commission.

March 14th is National Learn About Butterflies Day, and because Marielena has been working on an art installation involving 5000 butterflies, she shares why they are important to her, and a bit about her exhibit, opening May 6th, 2022 at the Dorsky Museum, closing May 8th.

Then we move right along to the biggest news in spirituality and politics today, the invasion of Ukraine. This includes a conversation about compassion inspired by this article. Marielena shares her assessment of the situation through the lens of the Tarot and then shares a meditation for all of us to practice on our own, to meditate on the key cards, the Emperor and the Hierophant, the majors players in what is unfolding at this moment.

Finally, we end the show with a little Moon love, and a share from Tanaaz about this week's Full Moon Astrology.

#214 Tara Sanders "YWCA, Springwell, Self Care"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 8 Mar 2022 00:14:11 +0000

Tara Sanders is currently the Director of Community Outreach and Public Relations at YWCA Ulster County. Long before that, she came to her yoga mat to explore and heal. Having a strong commitment to serving the community and advocating for underserved populations, she has taught students at a mental health advocacy agency, homeless youth, and developed a therapeutic yoga & mindfulness program for a domestic violence shelter in Upstate NY. Since 2017 she has been working with the Ulster County Crime Victims Assistance Program in developing trauma informed yoga programming that is available for free to sexual assault survivors, anyone supporting survivors, and professionals working to support survivors with their healing. She was on the advisory board of Exhale to Inhale (2014-2020), a non-profit organization that brings yoga to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in New York and Los Angeles through free weekly classes at shelters and community-based organizations. She was one of Ulster County’s 2019 Raising Hope honorees, for her work in women mentoring women to success & Raising HOPE (help, opportunity, passion, empowerment) in our community.

Working with adults and youth, it has been a dream come true to share the healing and grounding practice of yoga, and to be a conduit for the practices and teachings that have had such a profound impact on her life.

Today, Tara shared about the Y's upcoming Springwell event happening on March 19th, the Building Resilience event happening on March 8th, her trauma informed yoga classes sponsored by the Ulster County Crime Victim's Assistance Program and the many more events happening at the Y leading up to their big fundraising gala happening in July, tickets go on sale in April.

#213 Caron Grossman "Heart Health and Permission to Grieve"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 1 Mar 2022 02:15:05 +0000

Caron Grossman is a Registered Nurse and Certified Transitional Life Coach. She has worked extensively with families, patients and health care providers in organ donation, critical care, health coaching and addiction. She has spent a great deal of time working with people in grief, end of life and other complex life transitions and living losses.

Caron is an inspirational speaker who offers different perspectives on grief. Topics have ranged from Self Care for Healthcare Providers when Experiencing Grief and Trauma, Learning to Communicate with your Grief, Caregiver Burnout and more...She finds great joy in creating and holding space in both large and small Grief Workshops and is looking forward to a new role as a volunteer and speaker for the American Heart Association.

Caron enjoys meditation, hiking, writing, drumming, frisbee, dancing, anything to do with water, one on one conversations over coffee, walking her favorite grand puppy, Lady Bark Ruffalo and her greatest joy is spending time with her 20 month granddaughter, Chloe, who has taught her the magic of pure play and presence.

Today Caron shares her story about losing her mom at the age of 13 to a heart attack when her mom was just 39 years old, and how her grief from that affected her life until the point that Caron decided to turn things around. She changed her eating, stopped drinking and tended to her emotional needs. A few weeks after a clear echocardiogram last year, she suffered her own heart attack. Caron shares the lessons learned and what she knows about tending to the needs of her heart, both physically and emotionally. We also talk about the importance of women understanding that we do not always present the same way as men when having a heart attack, and to trust your gut when it comes to advocating for your health.

As someone who's studied and worked with her own grief Caron also talks about giving ourselves permission to grieve, including how to communicate with your grief. Here's her TEDxTalk on the subject.

#212 Suz Slezak "Our Wings May Be Featherless"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 22 Feb 2022 01:48:42 +0000

Today I welcome Suz Slezak, mother and musician, to the show. For Suz harmonizing with another human being is a sacred act of sharing breath. This lifelong love of harmony is how she, as if by accident, fell into music as a career. Suz grew up TV-free on her family’s Virginia homestead, in an endless loop of fiddle-playing and singing led by her father, a Catholic seminary dropout, as she, her brothers and a gaggle of fellow homeschoolers traversed gravel roads in their beat-up station wagon en route to choir rehearsals and music lessons.

While not on a path to pursue music, it seemed to be following her. Convinced by her now-husband to join his band, the two eventually fell in love and for the past fifteen years have co-fronted David Wax Museum - earning accolades from the New York Times to NPR, performing on CBS Saturday Morning, and even playing Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg’s wedding.

After years touring and co-fronting the band, Suz’s debut solo album, Our Wings May Be Featherless, comes out March 4th. It is a breathtaking journey through some of her life’s most painful and poignant moments - losing a best friend to suicide, her public struggle with bipolar disorder, and a traumatic childbirth. Today we listen to a few of the new songs and hear about the stories behind them.

#211 Spirituality and Politics with Marielena Ferrer "Valentine's Day Edition"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 15 Feb 2022 04:08:47 +0000

It's the second Mo(o)nday of the month which means Marielena Ferrer returns for another talk about Spirituality and Politics, the Valentine's Day edition. We stumble through the messy history of the day and talk about how we feel about it, debate a bit about how to handle the day if you don't have/want a romantic partner which brings us back to ways of celebrating the day, self-love, Galentine's, etc. regardless of your dating status. I then perform my annual ceremony to commit to oneself which Marielena happily plays along with. Here's the I ME WED ceremony recorded for you.

The Full Moon is Wednesday so we then spend a little time at the end of the show talking about the predictions and suggestions of this Full Moon Astrology.

Here's the link to artist submissions mentioned by Marielena.

#210 Aileen Weintraub "Knocked Down: A High Risk Memoir"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Tue, 8 Feb 2022 23:27:19 +0000

Inspired by an article written by today's guest, Aileen Weintraub, I begin the show reading "When Doctor's Downplay Women's Health Concerns" from the NY Times, and then on the live show we listen to Jennifer Brea's Ted Talk. You podcast folks can check out the <- link to her show or listen to the radio archive.

Jennifer Brea was a PhD student at Harvard when, one night, she found she couldn't write her own name. Over the following months, while doctors insisted her condition was psychosomatic, Brea became bedridden. She started filming herself and the community that she discovered online, collecting the first footage of what would become a feature documentary about myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), often referred to as chronic fatigue syndrome. The film, Unrest, which premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, tells Jen's story as well as the stories of four other patients living with ME. She is the founder of #MEAction, an online organizing platform for ME patients around the world, many of whom cannot leave their homes.

Later, (13 minutes into the show) Aileen Weintraub joins me live, an award-winning author, journalist, and editor. She has written for the Washington Post, Glamour, NBC, and AARP, among others. She has also published several children’s books, including Never Too Young! 50 Unstoppable Kids Who Made a Difference and We Got Game! 35 Female Athletes Who Changed the World. Her forthcoming essay in the New York Times, is about her interfaith marriage and being disowned by her Brooklyn Jewish community. You can find out more about her at www.aileenweintraub.com and on Twitter @aileenweintraub.

Her soon to be released book, Knocked Down: A High-Risk Memoir (March 1, 2022; University of Nebraska Press) explores what it meant to check out of life for so long and how it affected both her mental and physical health, her marriage, and her relationship with her family. At four months pregnant she was walking around New York City with her new husband, when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower belly. An emergency sonogram showed that she had unusually large fibroids growing in her uterus, right alongside the baby. One of them was pressing directly on her cervix, causing early effacement. The prognosis: Go to bed, and don’t get up until the baby starts to crown. She spent the next five months on strict bed rest in an old Hudson Valley farmhouse trying to save the life of her unborn child.

Today on the show, we talk about the memoir, about bedrest, women's health, talking publicly about your family, losing friends, and writing about inspiring kids and women athletes. You can order the book NOW, even though it officially releases March 1st. She'll be doing a book signing at Rough Draft in Kingston on March 5th from 11-1pm.

#209 Artivists Poet Gold and Suprina "Say Their Names"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 22:53:19 +0000

Happy New Moon, Lunar New Year, Imbolc and Black History Month!

Today I am honored to welcome The Poet Gold, Artivist, Poet, Author, Teaching Artist and Radio Host, and Suprina, Sculpturist and Artivist. They are collaborators and the Executive Producers of the video "Say Their Names," premiering February 1st at 7pm eastern. (Poet Gold and Suprina's interview starts around minute 36)

Like so many Americans The Poet Gold @_poetgold_ and Suprina @suprinasculpture struggled to understand the individual and cultural meaning of the murder of George Floyd. Through ordinary conversation, they found out they were each dealing with this issue in their own arts. Suprina was creating a ghostly and ghastly, ironic representation of the blind goddess of justice, Themis. Poet Gold was writing one of her poelodies addressing American racism and oppression, which ends questioning our individual and communal humanity. Poet Gold asks “What kind of humans are we inside?”

These Hudson Valley friends broadened their original collaboration of a processional performance to producing a video, “Say Their Names,” spanning 500-years of American racism that ends with a hopeful possibility for our future.

The screening is free, but you must RSVP. Afterwards, the audio will be available to download on Bandcamp or at www.poetgold.com and a portion of the proceeds will go towards bringing the Soundtrack of Life, an anti-gun violence program by the Sundog Theatre, to the Mid-Hudson Valley.

Our conversation weaves through the subjects of hope, forgiveness, shame, justice, white privilege, and happiness. I hope you will consider supporting and shouting out their work!

And here's the Art and Social Justice show Suprina mentioned happening through March 13th in Woodstock. Reception: Saturday, February 19 | 4-6pm.

And earlier in the show I shared the New Moon Report from Tanaaz at Forever Conscious and Refinery 29's Report.

For those of you who want to do something to celebrate Imbolc, this website is really great!

Thanks to Ian Seda from Radio Kingston for engineering today’s show!

#208 Inno Powell from "Abundance Farms"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 25 Jan 2022 03:07:30 +0000

WELCOME TO SEASON 5!!!!! Today I have the privilege of speaking with Inno Powell, Founder of Abundance Farms. “Their mission is to get fresh organic produce into the homes of BIPOC families in and out of Ulster County, NY. There are so many people living in places where food apartheid plays a big part in our communities and we aren't even aware of it. We started growing out of public and private spaces in Kingston, NY for our first two seasons. By the end of the second season, we had reached about 80 BIPOC families with most of those families being served on a regular basis with a free vegetable share from the farm. We had over 50 volunteers help out this season from the beginning to the end and I honestly think that they are the reason we were able to keep this going because it takes a village in every sense.” They are embarking on a fundraising campaign to continue and expand this good work which is just one of the reasons I was glad Inno said yes to being a guest on the show. You can follow them on Instagram, @wefeedbipocfree and Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/wefeedbipoc.

Today we hear the powerful story of how farming found Inno, or really, returned to Inno, as something that was always deep in their roots, and all about the journey to Abundance Farms and the good work they are doing there. Plus, Inno shares about faith, the "good book," finding oneself, the other side of incarceration, midwifery, as well as some poetry about being a single mom. It's a must listen!

Here's the farm's website where you can volunteer, join the CSA or donate.

And here's the petition on midwifery centers in NY State.

#207 Full Moon Release and Ritual with Theresa

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 17 Jan 2022 21:32:35 +0000

It's a Full Moon and so we're doing a little Full Moon Release and Ritual on today's show. I share from the Forever Conscious Full Moon report and a little from Cory Nakasue's show, The Cosmic Dispatch. Then you can move your body for some physical release with a little (mostly) 80's dance party. Here's a link to the Playlist for today's show, or feel free to use your own inspiring music! This is followed by some reflecting and journaling, working with Kim Kran's Archetypes, The Tear, The Heart and The Vision. If you don't want to navigate to the playlist, you can hear the full show straight through via Radio Kingston who has the rights to play the songs!

Here's the article on choosing your word for the year.

And last but not least, advice for changing your life, be flexible!

#206 Spirituality and Politics and Ending Polarization with Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 11 Jan 2022 17:16:38 +0000

It's the return of our monthly conversation about Spirituality and Politics with Marielena Ferrer. Today we take inspiration from an episode of the Dan Harris Podcast 10% Happier about How You Help End Polarization and Inequality and Get Happier Too. It features Robert Putnam and Shaylan Romney Garrett who wrote the book, The Upswing: How America Came Together a Century Ago and How We Can Do It Again. Without having read the book, we discuss different elements mentioned on the podcast about the "I, We, I" curve as well as the suggested factors that worked to facilitate change during times of great divide in American history. History doesn't provide a perfect solution, but it can form the basis for inspiration to help facilitate more communication, collaboration and less division in our present day America. Are your "I" and "We" balanced? Who else is in for giving it a try?

#205 Nancy Graham and Louisa Finn "Love and Mohonk Consultations"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 4 Jan 2022 17:36:51 +0000

Nancy Graham serves on the board of Mohonk Consultations and the arts council of The Lace Mill, where they live in Midtown Kingston. They have worked or volunteered for numerous nonprofits related to social justice, alternative media, theatre, film, and writing. Poet/writer/visual artist under the name Nancy O. Graham; actor under the name Noa Graham. Her most recent theatre project was Orchid Receipt Service, starring Asia Kate Dillon, at Theater MITU580 in Brooklyn, pre-pandemic. Most recent film project is a short called Elegy for a Glacier, about an environmental activist and her glaciologist daughter forced to face off about the construction of a ski resort in the Rockies.

Louisa Finn is a Hudson Valley native, whose mother was a member of the Quaker Smiley family of Mohonk Mountain House, and father a Russian Jewish pianist from the Bronx. She has spent her life thus far actively engaged in learning what it is to be human and to be herself. She works as a Speech/Language Pathologist and Reading Tutor, and clinical instructor at SUNY New Paltz. She is on the Board of Mohonk Consultations, where she serves as Administrative Coordinator, and Sky Lake Shambhala Center Buddhist Retreat. She writes poetry, and is creating a forest garden in her front yard.

Today we're talking about Love and a myriad of related and thought provoking subjects. Nancy and Louisa share about their first memories of love and how they relate to the word which takes us into the realm of spiritual materialism, caring for others, and being a mother. The show is inspired by bell hooks and her writings on love and self love/self worth so we dive into self-love as Louisa and Nancy share their own process to love themselves better as well as how self-love relates to caring for others and being a woman. We then leave the personal towards the end of the show to talk about the public and how the work of Mohonk Consultations is cultivating love in its own way, bringing folks together to collaborate, lifting voices, and caring for land and others. We leave you with a call for your own definition or thoughts on Love. bell hooks herself seemed to have a few, "love is the action we take on behalf of our own or another's spiritual growth..." "love is a combination of trust, commitment, care, respect, knowledge and responsibility..." So, what say you?

#204 Sari Botton and Carolita Johnson "Oldster Magazine"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann, ageism) — Tue, 28 Dec 2021 17:40:00 +0000

It's the return of Sari Botton and Carolita Johnson who were last guests on the same show back in April 2018!

Sari Botton is a writer, editor and teacher living in Kingston, NY. She is the editor of the award-winning anthology Goodbye to All That: Writers on Loving and Leaving NY and its New York Times-Bestselling follow-up, Never Can Say Goodbye: Writers on Their Unshakable Love for NY. Sari publishes three newsletters: her newest endeavor Oldster Magazine, as well as Adventures in "Journalism," and Memoir Monday. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, New York Magazine, the Village Voice, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, More, and the Rumpus, plus other publications and anthologies. She is a contributing editor and leads essay writing and anthology editing at Catapult and is an adjunct in the MFA program at Bay Path University. Her memoir-in-essays, And You May Find Yourself... will be published by Heliotrope in June, 2022. Sari is the former Essays Editor for Longreads and hopes to one day reopen her co-working space for writers, Kingston Writers' Studio.

Carolita Johnson is a cartoonist and illustrator from NYC. She spent 13 years in Paris, France, after graduating from Parson's School of Design with a degree in Fashion Design. In Paris, she earned a masters degree in Modern Letters and Linguistics, and got some (admittedly very idiosyncratic) chops in pre-doctoral Medieval Anthropology, which turned out to be a gateway drug to cartoons and illustration. Her cartoons appear in the new yorker magazine, and in the books: the rejection collection 1, and the rejection collection 2, and sex and sensibility, and she's illustrated the books the new vampire's handbook, and women on food. Carolita is also a writer who has contributed to https://longreads.com/author/carolita/, has an essay in the 2021 reprint of Sari Botton's, goodbye to all that as well as a recent piece in Oldster Magazine on the inner workings of a woman's body.

We start out by checking in with what's new with these two since they were last on the show, and then get into a thought provoking conversation based in the essence of Oldster Mag, "perspectives on the joys and frustrations on getting older - at any stage of life." This means we talk about the aging woman's body, how it's largely ignored by the medical industry, ageism, how these two feel about being 56, what's good about it and what's not so good about it. Plus they make some reading recommendations that I've already started on myself!

Here's a link to the 10% Happier Podcast I mentioned about ending polarization and the "I, We, I" curve that we can all work to shift.

Here's a link to the Joan Didion essay, "Goodbye to All That."

#203 The Caring Majority and Herstorical Female Figures

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 21 Dec 2021 16:50:34 +0000

Today I start out the show talking about Fair Pay for Home Care and the work of the Caring Majority Rising. They do such important work to raise awareness of the unfair labor practices for home care workers and also the impact the shortage of these workers has on those who need the care. There's a big push here in NY State to increase their wages amongst other initiatives, and I am asking you to help support them!

Here's the latest and greatest for ways you can get involved!

Call Governor Hochul! And let us know how your call goes!
- Dial: 518-474-8390
- Sample Script: Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME]. I'm reaching out to ask Governor Hochul to include Fair Pay for Home Care (S5374/A6329) in next year's Executive budget! Fair Pay 4 Home Care is important to me because [XXXX]. Because NY pays poverty wages to home care workers, our state is the epicenter of a home care workforce shortage--forcing disabled people and older adults into nursing homes because they can’t recruit the workers they need to live at home. Can we count on Gov Hochul to invest in women by including Fair Pay 4 Home Care in the executive budget? Thank you!
- Let us know how your call went here!
It’s never too late to call, tweet and write letters to the Governor and Assembly and Senate leaders about Fair Pay! Here is our action toolkit. If you are getting together with your family or friends over the holidays, get them involved too! And send a message to Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Senate Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins asking them to pass the proposed legislation to increase wages to 150% of minimum wage.
Tues, Dec 21 at 5PM: End-of-Year Hudson Valley Regional Meeting! If you’re based in the Hudson Valley, we have an end-of-year celebratory meeting on ZOOM. RSVP here!
Tues, Dec 21 at 6PM: Phone banking Arizona and West Virginia voters for Build Back Better! Billions in federal funding for home care are still on the line in Build Back Better. It is currently held up in the US Senate by Senator Manchin and Sinema. On Tuesday next week we are joining our partners at 1199 SEIU to phone bank voters in Arizona and West Virginia, asking for them to call Manchin and Sinema to urge them to move forward with Build Back Better. RSVP here.
Monday, Jan 3 from 6-8PM: Phone banking for Fair Pay! We will kick off the new year by calling our most active leaders and inviting them to join us for crucial actions coming up in January. This is the best kind of phone-banking, you won’t want to miss! RSVP here.
Wed, Jan 5, TIME TBA: State of The State Watch Party! The Governor will be giving her State of The State address highlighting her priorities for New York and we want to be there together on ZOOM to witness and respond. As soon as we know the exact time, we will let you know! This will be in place of our usual 1st Wednesday meeting!
Wed, Jan 12 at 5:30PM: Virtual Training on the In’s and Outs of the Budget with Advocacy Institute! As we head into an intense budget season, we have a very special training from budget expert David Ng from the Advocacy Institute. RSVP here.

OK, for the rest of the show I read from one of my favorite women who definitely has what I want in so many ways. Maria Popova's lengthy yet delightful Figuring highlights the life and work of several truly inspiring women. If you like what you hear, then you should definitely pick it up for some perfect Winter hibernation reading.

#202 "Spirituality and Politics" with Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 13 Dec 2021 23:36:59 +0000

It’s the return of Marielena Ferrer and our monthly conversation inspired by Espiritualidad y Politica, which ponders ideas related to society’s relationship with money, cultural integration, sustainable development, and participation in public life. The overarching message is that it is possible and necessary to marry the art of living (spirituality) with the art of coexisting (politics) to achieve peace. We talk about the practical implications of this and other related topics. Today we discuss human nature and the spirit, energy and matter, and separateness and oneness.

Mariaelena is an artist and the Executive Director of Humanamente — a diversity and inclusion consulting organization.

Here's the information on the Holistic Health Community.

Here's the Full Moon Report I read from, and here's the link to register for my Full Moon Virtual Circle with meditation and journaling.

#201 Isis Benitez "I'm Worthy"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 8 Dec 2021 01:01:56 +0000

On today's show I share my very real conversation with Isis Benitez, a 22 year old woman who is struggling with loving her body for how it looks. She has struggled time and time again with thinking that she is “fat” (a term she uses). Benitez’s biggest struggle is when she tries to love herself so much but thinks her stomach is the problem. She sees herself as being a big girl, and therefore she made the Instagram account called @_im.worthy_ to help her in this process. She wants to be able to be her 100% authentic self and not be ashamed of her body. With the body image struggle, Benitez also struggles with the fear of saying “No” to others and letting other people down. A lot of this has to do with how society sees Women in America and the expectations and pressure to have to look and act a certain way. Now Isis Benitez is able to speak out on what is truly affecting her with loving herself and loving being a woman.

Here's the info on Circle Creative Collective's "Holiday Makers Market."

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

We heard music from our fave, Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/

#200 Annette Simmons and Areva Martin "Authors and Thought Leaders"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Mon, 29 Nov 2021 23:09:27 +0000

Today the show begins with a conversation with Annette Simmons, a keynote speaker, consultant, and author of four books, including The Story Factor, which is listed in The 100 Best Business Books of All Time. She received a business degree from Louisiana State University, went on to spend ten years in Australia in international business, then received an M.Ed. from North Carolina State University, before founded Group Process Consulting in 1996. Her latest book is titled, Drinking from a Different Well: How Women’s Stories Change What Power Means in Action. Learn more at her book’s website. Today Annette shares her thoughts on the different narrative men and women have around power, how women can come to trust their own instinct, how to resist gaslighting, how women can insist on their own narrative and stick to it, why moral emotions are so important and lots more. I read her book cover to cover in about 1 DAY, so I highly recommend!

In the second half of the show I get to speak with Areva Martin, an award-winning civil rights attorney, advocate, social issues commentator, talk show host, and producer. A CNN legal analyst and Harvard Law School graduate, Martin founded Martin & Martin, LLP, a Los Angeles-based civil rights firm, and is the CEO of Butterflly Health, Inc., a mental health technology company. A best-selling author, Martin has dedicated her fourth book, Awakening: Ladies, Leadership, and the Lies We’ve Been Told, to helping women worldwide recognize, own, and assert their limitless power. Today Areva shares some of her own personal story as it relates to gender inequality, what she's learned by listening to the stories of other women, the lies that women have been told that have held them back, and how to beat a system that’s (still) rigged against women.

Here's an astrology report for Friday/Saturday's New Moon! And here's a link to register for my Virtual New Moon Circle this Friday, Dec. 3rd at 8pm Eastern.

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

#199 Francine Glasser "Shards of Glass: A Kaleidoscopic Life's Memoir"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 23 Nov 2021 15:47:01 +0000

Francine Glasser is a Clinical Social Worker and Therapist who recently published a memoir, "Shards of Glass: A Kaleidoscopic Life's Memoir," about her experiences as a child and how she took a path to healing from her difficult experiences.

A bit about her book: Because her family constantly had to flee the repercussions of her father's gambling addiction, Francine Glasser was consigned to a childhood devoid of connection and marked by loss after loss of everything she cherished. Friends, relatives, pets, and possessions were left behind each time her family ran from debt collectors, sometimes in the middle of the night, and left town for yet another hopeless new start. For Francine, painful memories of those rootless years were like the fragments of color, light, and darkness in a kaleidoscope. But years later, clinging to her love for the father responsible for her lost childhood, those shards of glass would reorganize into patterns of forgiveness, stability, beauty, and peace.

This book was conceived long ago, because Francine had always wanted to tell the story of her search for a forever home. Years later, as a practicing psychotherapist and social worker her life was invested in hearing the stories and traumas of those whom she counseled and helped make peace with their past. In this book, Francine has sought to make peace with her own past by introducing readers to all the important people, places, and things in her life on the run. Today, she is home at last, yet struggling with symptoms of Agoraphobia. The pieces of a child's shattered life, as seen through the metaphor of a kaleidoscope, have finally come together to complete this part of her story.

Here's Francine's beautiful reading at the Greenkill Gallery, complete with some of the images from her past that she references.

In the first half of the show, I share some thoughts about private/public, productive/non-productive time inspired by a conference on Hannah Arendt, and read from an interview by past guest JoAnn Stevelos which explores subjects like addiction and depression. Here's JoAnn's full interview.

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

#198 June Millington "From Fanny to Institute for Musical Arts"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 23:24:46 +0000

Today I have the ultimate honor to share my conversation with June Millington, a Filipino American guitarist, songwriter, producer, educator, actress and writer. She was the co-founder and lead guitarist of the all-female rock band Fanny, which was active from 1970 to 1974. After leaving the band, June went in pursuit of her spiritual path, continued to make music, collaborate, act, write and is the co-founder and artistic director of the Institute for the Musical Arts (IMA) aka the "Magical Queendom" in Goshen, Massachusetts.

The Institute for the Musical Arts was co-founded with partner Ann Hackler in Northern California in 1986 and received its nonprofit status in 1987. It operated its studio and programs from Bodega, California’s historic Old Creamery until 2001 when property was purchased in Western Massachusetts for a permanent facility. The institute’s nonprofit mission is to support women and girls in music and music-related businesses. Rooted in the legacy of progressive equal rights movements, IMA’s development is guided by the visions, needs and concerns of women from a diversity of backgrounds and has grown from the need to nourish ourselves and each other. In addition to its summer programs for girls, IMA offers concerts and workshops year-round in support of its nonprofit mission which, unless otherwise noted, are open to the public.

Today June shares about how they are supporting girls at IMA, leaving Fanny, feminism, foremothers, Buddhism, cancer, life lessons and what's she's got on the horizon.

Here are the important links for you! IMA and their Summer Programs. Memoir, Land of a Thousand Bridges. And if you want more of the Fanny story, you can check out where to stream Fanny: The Right to Rock.

You can support IMA by joining in their upcoming November 20th and 27th events, both of which will be livestreamed! And stay tuned for June's upcoming release, "Snapshots."

You can check out June's TEDxTalk, "Rocking the Boat: How Playing Like a Girl Can Change the World."

Linking here also to Ann Hackler's TEDx Talk, "Leading from the Kitchen."

And finally the Go Fund Me for Jean Millington, June's sister.

Here's the Full Moon report I read from!

#197 Marielena Ferrer "Spirituality and Politics - Compassion and Anger"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 8 Nov 2021 22:22:29 +0000

It's the return of Marielena Ferrer and our monthly conversation inspired by Espiritualidad y Politica, which ponders ideas related to society's relationship with money, cultural integration, sustainable development, and participation in public life. The overarching message is that it is possible and necessary to marry the art of living (spirituality) with the art of coexisting (politics) to achieve peace. We talk about the practical implications of this and other related topics. Today we discuss how politics has become a team sport, return to our conversation about compassion, and then dip into the point and purpose of anger and how it it seems to be more socially accepted, even revered, if displayed by a man vs. a woman.

Mariaelena is an artist and the Executive Director of Humanamente — a diversity and inclusion consulting organization.

Today's show was engineered by Nick Panken of Radio Kingston.

#196 Shulamit Elson "Grief and Sound Healing"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 2 Nov 2021 16:29:53 +0000

Today I have the honor of speaking with Shulamit Elson, and we begin the show hearing about her experience in losing her daughter to leukemia just over a year ago and how she moved through the tremendous grief of this experience. This flows into a conversation about Shulamit's own journey into finding her soul's purpose and the healing sounds that form the basis of her work today. She is the creator of MediSounds® Meditation, and the Director of MediSounds, as well as the founder of The Great Octave Foundation. She has taught MediSounds Meditation and vocal sound-based mindfulness practices worldwide, in places as diverse as Esalen and Omega Institutes, Tibet House in NYC, meditation workshops in Andalusia, Spain and Oxford, England, the Sri Auribindo Auroville community in India, and in Israel. Under the auspices of The Great Octave Foundation, her activities have included work throughout Israel during a particularly fraught time of conflict in 2002, HIV positive men and women in Mexico City, and returning Iraq war veterans. In 2001 Shulamit was honored to give the keynote address in Washington, DC to introduce US Congressional Bill H. R. 808 to create a Cabinet Level Department of Peace.

Prior to creating MediSounds Meditation, Shulamit had a 20-year career in business consulting and investment banking. Her positions included Manager of Training and Development at Sandoz Inc. and Director of Organizational Communications at the public relations firm Hill & Knowlton. As President of her own independent consulting firm, Shulamit advised on issues of communication and organizational development at such corporations as Ford Motor Company, United States Lines, Nabisco Brands, and Irving Trust.

Shulamit is the author of the highly acclaimed book, Kabbalah of Prayer ~Sacred Sounds and the Soul’s Journey, and the creator of the newly-released CD MediSounds ~ The Path to Wholeness; as well as Beyond Words ~ Sacred Sounds of the Tree of Life; as well as Vibration ~ Shulamit and the Drepung Gomang Buddhist Monks.

P.S. at the end of the show I append my weekly "pre-show" banter with Warren and Manuel who share with me thoughts about being a people pleaser!

#195 Samhain and Connecting with Our Ancestors

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 27 Oct 2021 00:39:48 +0000

Today I wander into the Festival of Samhain and share some traditions or rituals that may inspire you. This includes a conversation and experiential practice to contemplate the lives of our ancestors based off of the book, My Grandmother's Hands by Resmaa Menakem. P.S. the show officially starts around minute 11, but I thought the superstition conversation with my colleagues was thematically appropriate to include!

Here are the YouTubers who provided some of the information and rituals shared -> Rebekka of the Witches' Cookery, and Alwyn Oak.

Here's the Spotify playlist of the songs we listened to throughout the show. Feel free to use them as you feel called for the contemplation practices I offer in today's show, or just pause the recording and sit in silence, journal or listen to your own music.

Plus, here's the info on the Ringing the Bells for Climate Change event I mentioned.

#194 Sisterhood (and Politics) with Melinda McKnight, Lynne Bailey and Jana Martin

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 19 Oct 2021 00:57:13 +0000

Today I am talking sisterhood and politics with three fabulous women, but first up, I share an interview I did, BC (before Covid), of Mikayla Haggerty, Marlea Catoosa, Ruby Friedman from the Golden Fleece 4H Sheep Club Dutchess County. I met them 2 years ago while attending the Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY. I wanted hot apple cider and they were selling it, which made me curious about what they were doing there and why. Tune in to find out!

Then I share some of the astrological Full Moon report for this Wednesday, and play songs, Circles and Blue to Gold, off the new Sarah Perrotta release, "Blue to Gold."

Then around minute 53 I have the honor of welcoming these three women running for local election in the Town of Hurley.

Jana Martin has been active in Ulster County community issues since making it her home in 2000. She’s a content director and editor for green and advanced technology firms, and an author published by The New York Times, Forbes, Simon & Schuster and Random House. She has taught writing at SUNY New Paltz and Word Café in Woodstock and Kingston. She was an active member of Eagle Valley Search Dogs K9 search and rescue team, is a runner and equestrian, and a proud stepmom to two boys. “Hurley’s Town Board needs support for the great work it’s already started — and to truly listen to the concerns of this community. I’d be proud to bring my skills and community spirit to the table.” Running for Hurley Town Board.

Melinda McKnight grew up in the Hamlet of Port Ewen and attended Kingston High School. Upon graduating, she earned an A.S. degree in Journalism from SUNY Ulster, a B.A. in English and an M.A. in Public History from SUNY Albany. She spent her early career in nonprofit administration where she managed all aspects of operations including, developing exhibits and special events, negotiating contracts, grant writing, budgeting and human resources. She has served as Adjunct Faculty at SUNY Ulster, taught Continuing Education classes at Ulster BOCES and provided a 12-week character development program based on The Virtues Project at a medium security NYS Prison. Since 2010, she has worked in the field of Building Performance in a variety of roles in a family-owned company that transitions homes and businesses off fossil fuels. Her current role is Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. She currently serves as Vice President of Klyne Esopus Historical Society Museum, Board Member of Citizens for Local Power and Councilperson on the Town of Hurley Town Board. As a member of the Hurley Town Board, Melinda worked across party lines in writing and passing a Short Term Rental Law (Commended by the Ulster County Planning Board) and in creating a Zoning Task Force and a Climate Smart Task Force. She's running for Hurley Town Supervisor.

Lynne Bailey grew up in a rural suburban area of Suffolk County and moved to NYC in 1976 starting her long and diverse professional career. In 2013 she purchased her home in Hurley and in recent years, Lynne has been very involved in community matters, volunteers for the Zoning Task Force and is the communications manager of the Hurley Climate Smart Task Force. Ms. Bailey has long cultivated service-oriented practices, and is eager for the opportunity to serve her community and its residents in the ways she knows best – using modern technology and methods, impeccable recordkeeping and communication skills, for the improvement of local government operations – with the respect and diligence that all residents merit.Service-oriented, accessible, trustworthy, technologically efficient, transparent and accountable. She's running for Hurley Town Clerk/Tax Collector

They share about why they wanted to get involved in politics, how collaborating and reaching across the political aisle is important, how getting involved in local politics can be very positive and valuable for all of us, some of the challenges they have faced, and how their "sisterhood" has helped them through the difficult moments. So get out and VOTE! Early voting starts October 23rd here in Ulster County and election day is November 2nd!

P.S. here's the Rosendale Uke Group I mentioned!

#193 Marielena Ferrer "Politics and Spirituality and the Downsides of Empathy"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 14 Oct 2021 04:00:00 +0000

Welcome to another installment of our monthly excursion into Politics and Spirituality with Marielena Ferrer, a socially engaged visual artist and art educator. She serves on the Kingston Arts Commission and Diversity Equity and Inclusion Task Force. Ferrer studied architecture at Central University of Venezuela and later earned a certificate of distinction in “Leadership and Empowerment” from Spain’s Polytechnic University of Valencia and a diploma in “Gender Leadership” through the EQUAL Transnational Cooperation Community Initiative of the European Social Fund. In addition, she earned a University Expert Diploma in “Mental Health, Cultural Processes and Psychological Interventions With Immigrants, Minorities and the Socially Excluded” from the University of Barcelona. Ferrer is currently completing a BFA in sculpture from SUNY New Paltz makes art to “assist people in becoming aware of themselves and their environment as fully as possible.”

On the second Mo(o)nday of the month we get together to discuss subjects related to or inspired by the Art of Living and the Art of Living together, two themes from the book, Espiritualidad y Politica, which Marielena contributed to 10 years ago while living in Spain. This month we continue our conversation on what it means to be "in community" inspired by Marielena's recent O+ Festival participatory art exhibit. She also shares her perspective on Indigenous People's Day which interesting to me is celebrated in different ways and under different names in other countries around the world. We were inspired by this article about the downsides of empathy and finish up the show exploring some of it's main themes. We'd love to hear what you think!

#192 Mel Cioffi "Beyond Kegels" and Perla, Mariel, Christine, Carolyn, Maritza and Sue from "Performance sin Miedo"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 5 Oct 2021 14:02:12 +0000

Today I get to chat (and laugh) with Dr. Melissa Cioffi, PT, the owner of New Quest Physical Therapy, a mobile physical therapy practice specializing in pelvic health Mel Cioffi is a doctor of physical therapy who “frees active folx with vaginas from endless kegels and garbage exercises so they can get their damn lives back." She's participating in the O+ Festival offering a class, "Beyond Kegels," where you'll learn the basics of what the pelvic floor is, does, and how to condition yours beyond kegels alone. You will learn how breathwork can be incorporated with your deep abdominals and pelvic floor. This will be for AFAB participants (I am not trained in pelvic floor conditioning related to AMAB people…yet!) Join her Sunday, October 10th from 1:15-2:15 at the Yoga House.

In the second half of today's show (around minute 54) I get to speak with several members of the Performance sin Miedo, a community event bringing awareness to ending violence against women. Joining the conversation are co-organizers, Perla Ayora and Mariel Fiori; choir director, Christine Gevert; cellist, Carolyn Leschuza; and community singers Maritza Del Razo and Sue Weed.

Violence against women and girls is one of the most serious, widespread, deep-rooted and tolerated human rights violations in the world. Women and girls suffer various types of violence in all areas of their lives and under multiple manifestations: at home, in public spaces, at school, at work, in cyberspace, in the community, in politics, in institutions, among others. According to UN Women Mexico, globally, 1 in 3 women has suffered physical and / or sexual violence throughout their lives, and in some countries this proportion increases to 7 out of 10. Another unpleasant record: 14 of the 25 countries with the highest number of femicides are in Latin America and the Caribbean. In Mexico, 43.9% of women have experienced violence from their current or last partner.

And in the United States we are not left behind in statistics concerning the violent patriarchy. According to the National Coalition against Domestic Violence, every minute almost 20 people are physically abused by their partner; in a year this is equivalent to more than 10 million people.

Because of these type of numbers, and because of specific cases that we know here in the Hudson Valley and beyond, it is that a score of Spanish-speaking women, led by choral director Christine Gevert, with the support of two radio program hosts, Perla Ayora of No me digas, and Mariel Fiori, of La Voz con Mariel Fiori, on Radio Kingston, unite our voices for a Performance without fear, free and open to the public. All people who support the global cause, against femicide and against violence against women, are invited to bring their banners and join in on Sunday, October 10 at 4 p.m. at the Parking Lot of the Kingston Court House, 285 Wall Street. The event will be livestreamed and English interpretation will be provided.

What will happen at the Performance without Fear / Performance sin miedo? Everyone is invited to join in singing the Spanish language feminist anthem that went around the world in 2019 and that began in Chile thanks to the Las Tesis Collective, A rapist on your way, with strong and powerful lyrics: Patriarchy is a our judge, that imprisons us at birth, and our punishment is the violence you don’t see. After this song, several people will have the opportunity to share their experience with gender violence, from the organizers and participants, to women who work in organizations that provide resources to help survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking.

Finally, we will sing another feminist hymn, The song without fear by Vivir Quintana, with the arrangement of Paz Court. When she gave her permission for this performance in Kingston,Chilean composer and singer Paz Court, who arranged the Song without fear, which was sung by El Palomar choir for the first time, said: “Thank you for joining your voices and helping to spread this message around the world”.

We have changed some of the names that are mentioned in the song for cases that the group wanted to highlight, such as Vanessa Guillén, Nicole “Nikki” Addimando, and Marielle Franco. In the revised lyrics, we also recognize the thousands of immigrant women who are waiting to reach the United States and are now in overcrowded shelters in Mexico.

Christine Gevert, founder and choral artistic director of Crescendo, in charge of preparing the participating Spanish-speaking women, said “I feel very honored to be able to be a part and help in this initiative. I realize that I have been privileged in my life thus far and I live in a safe ‘bubble’ here in the Northwest corner of CT. I frequently experienced sexual harassment on the streets of Chile growing up, but I never thought much about it as it was part of our reality and we got used to dealing with it. I did not realize how much domestic violence, especially against women, is still a problem in this country, and in the countries of Latin America and in our neighbor Mexico!”

For more information or to participate, email lavoz@radiokingston.org

We also listened to the songs, "New Moon" by Breanna Barbara who is playing the O+ Festival Friday at 8:30pm at Keegan Ale's, and "Right Now is All We Know" by Shana Falana who's performing at 7:45pm Friday evening at the County Lot. If you're listening to the podcast version grab the link to the playlist above.

And DON'T FORGET about Marielena's "The Art of Living Together" also happening as part of the O+ Festival all weekend long! Check the schedule for details.

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda of Radio Kingston.

#191 Therese Shechter "My So-Called Selfish Life"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 27 Sep 2021 22:33:00 +0000

On today’s show I share my conversation with Therese Shechter, award-winning filmmaker and writer, and the founder of the feminist production company Trixie Films. Her work fuses humor, activism, and personal storytelling to disrupt what's considered most sacred about womanhood. She is a Canada Council for the Arts grantee for her documentary My So-Called Selfish Life which is having its World Premier this week at the Woodstock Film Festival. The film examines what it means to say no to motherhood in a society that assumes all women want children, and exposes what’s at stake when women are denied the right to control their own reproductive lives. It is the third part of a trilogy which includes her films “How To Lose Your Virginity” (2013) and “I Was A Teenage Feminist” (2005). These documentaries have screened from Rio de Janeiro to Istanbul to Seoul, and her work is in the collections of over 300 universities, non-profits, and libraries. I had the opportunity of a sneak peak at her film and it’s fascinating, thought provoking, informative and entertaining… and this is coming from someone who has struggled to have children yet is STILL trying!

#190 Kia Abilay "The Gift of Listening"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 14:55:19 +0000

On the show today I get to speak with Kia Abilay an Akashic Records Teacher and Certified Healing Touch Practitioner, Energy & Intuitive Communicator and a One Spirit Minister. For many years she worked as a practitioner in the Wellness Center at Omega but for the past year has been working on a book sharing stories from her work and lessons about the gift of listening. The book is titled The Gift of Listening, Cultivating Your Connection with Spirit and is due to be released on October 20, 2021. You can get info about the book and general newsletter goodness by signing up for her mailing list, or follow her on Instagram for announcements.

Today Kia shares about her connection with Spirit and how it's impacted her life as well as some stories from her life and how the process of writing her first book has continued her lifelong work of listening and healing. She also gracefully indulges my curiosities about her time spent doing astral travel and talks about how we all receive these gifts from Spirit, we just don't always open them.

Here's the Moon report that I read from in honor of the Pisces Full Moon. Moon blessings to y'all!

#189 Marielena Ferrer "Spirituality and Politics"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 00:59:58 +0000

It's the second Moon-Day of the month and the return of Marielena Ferrer! She was a contributor to the book Espiritualidad y Politica which was published 10 years ago, and we're using that book to seed conversations relating to spirituality and politics. Marielena is the Executive Director of Humanamente — a diversity and inclusion consulting organization, Chair of the Athena Network New York — a psychosocial support network in the area of social services, health, and specifically in mental health, for immigrants experiencing psychological challenges related to the migratory process, a board member of the Family of Woodstock, a member of the Arts Mid-Hudson Advisory Board, and Kingston's City Arts Commission. Marielena is also an artist and will be participating in this weekend's Art Walk Kingston at The D.R.A.W. as well as the O+ Festival, Oct. 8-10.

As a reminder or for those just tuning into these conversations, the book contains essays from internationally recognized authors including Ken Wilber, Ervin Laszlo, and Tariq Ramadan as well as Spanish-speaking pundits such as Jordi Pigem and Vicente Merlo, "Espiritualidad y politica" offers global and local proposals for integrating a spiritual dimension in the political sphere and, concurrently, for infusing current spiritual movements with a practical component. Society's relationship with money, cultural integration, sustainable development, and participation in public life are among the topics discussed in depth and with an actionable focus. The overarching message is that it is possible and necessary to marry the art of living (spirituality) with the art of coexisting (politics) to achieve peace.

Today we talk about power, money, privilege, and influence via the topics addressed in the New Yorker article, "Life After White Collar Crime," which excellently address the addictive nature of money and influence, how and why white collar crime has been policed (or not), and the overall lack of ethical and moral boundaries in business and finance circles. What happened to valuing ethics?!?!? Let us know what you think. We'll certainly be returning to these themes as we move through more of the subjects covered in Espiritualidad y Politica.

#188 New Moon Ceremony for Forgiveness and Freedom

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 6 Sep 2021 19:21:51 +0000

New Moon Blessings to you! Today, I take us through a New Moon Ceremony where we get to open ourselves up to the healing power of Forgiveness and then with that new shift in energy, step out of our boxes and into our magical selves. The great awakener Uranus guiding us to get weird. Gather your ceremonial items, water, journal and find a comfy space for this special show.

Here's the playlist I used to get us into the mood in the first hour.

#187 Anyssa Lucena "Confident Climbers"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 31 Aug 2021 00:40:06 +0000

Today's guest is the very inspiring Anyssa Lucena. She helps women climbers gain confidence by teaching them how to overcome self-limiting beliefs, get stronger and live an empowered life through climbing. As a former rock climber, when I heard about Anyssa and her work, my curiosity led me to her website where I learned more about her background, and her story was so inspiring that I wanted to invite her on the show. Due to her schedule, we recorded our conversation last week, and I play that for you today. As you'll hear, after having 3 kids, Anyssa suddenly realized she was deeply unhappy with her life. Something was missing. Her youngest was 9 months old when she asked her husband for a divorce. She was 38, suddenly a divorced - single mom of 3 kids, ages 5, 3, and 9 months and had no idea whatsoever what her future would look like. She had left her wall street job when she had kids, and although she was well educated and experienced, she couldn’t imagine returning to a corporate environment. She had no idea what her future would look like, but she had faith that somehow, things would work out. Spoiler alert, things have turned out well for Anyssa, but getting there wasn't always easy and rock climbing helped her find her way. It's surprising how metaphorical rock climbing is for life in general. Her story really resonated with me and I hope you enjoy it too.

Some of my favorite parts of our conversation today are about exploring fears, self compassion, mom guilt, "divorce arms," internal validation, shifts in mindset and celebrating failure. So good!

As I mention at the end of the show, here's the article about Menstrual Huts in India.

And here's the article I referenced about addiction to money and power that Marielena and I will touch upon during the September 13th show.

#186 Jayla Kai "Debut EP Epitome"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 24 Aug 2021 03:03:36 +0000

Jayla Kai grew up in Woodstock, a town synonymous with the pureness of music. It evokes a togetherness where the community has each other’s back and the culture is almost symptomatic of its people (Dylan, Bowie, Van Morrison, Levon Helm). Kai cites a handful of local musicians who have served as key mentors to her. Kieran Hebden (Four Tet), is one of these key mentors who has inspired and encouraged her. Kai's Debut EP, Epitome, is out now following the release of her crunching single Apple Tree and Kai’s introductory track, I Can't Lie. As far as opening bows go, Epitome EP is as confident as you’ll hear. It’s the sound of an artist quickly in-tune with her writing and finding a distinct voice that is completely her own. The songs she shares here are sharp, literate, and expressive on an EP that zips and shuffles; all melody and poetry. Epitome is a bold statement of intent. Listen to "Epitome" by Jayla Kai here: https://awal.ffm.to/epitome

On today's show she shares about finding her creative instinctive voice, the making of her debut EP, making music, performing and staying authentic as life and career evolves. We heard the songs, Paperread, Apple Tree, and I Can't Lie from "Epitome."

Here's where to learn more about The Hoot!

#185 Elizabeth Gross "The Myth of the Selkie"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 16 Aug 2021 23:48:35 +0000

Today I speak with Elizabeth Gross, an herbalist, bodyworker, meditation and yoga instructor, and end-of-life doula based in the Mid Hudson Valley of NY. Her mission through Selkie Medicinals is to provide optimal comfort and care to people experiencing major life transitions related to birth, sex or dying. Her services include prenatal Thai Yoga herbal bodywork, sexual health focused herbal consultations with a specialty in hpv and cervical dysplasia, and end-of-life doula care focused on abortion and miscarriage support.

Some of what we get to chat about today is the myth of the Selkie, masculine and feminine in the tantric tradition, the patriarchy, healing the patriarchy, slowing down, pelvic health and vulva gazing. Note, we do talk about men's and women's reproductive body parts!

#184 Marielena Ferrer "Spirituality and Politics"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 10 Aug 2021 01:30:25 +0000

Back at it for another round of deep thoughts and wild talks with Mariaelena.

Today, we veer ever so slightly away from the book and into the realm of capitalism in spirituality, group think, cancel culture, tolerance, and the writing/re-writing of history. For background, we refer to this Vice article about Guru Jagat as well as this TIME article of Anthony Fanone's story from the January 6th insurrection. How will this history be remembered?

#183 Nina Isabelle - Artist, Thinker, Observer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 3 Aug 2021 14:56:46 +0000

Today's guest is the profoundly talented Nina Isabelle. She is a process based artist working with perception, action, language, and phenomena. Her practice is a method to sort and solve the inconsistencies of language, memory, and form, and she makes paintings, drawings, photographs, video, sculpture, sound, performance and writing as inquiry into how sensory perception functions as the impetus for action, reaction, response, and choice making in art and life.

Her work has been presented at The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts in New York City, The Queens Museum as part of Emergency Index Documentation Discussion, Judson Memorial Church, Grace Exhibition Space, and ABC No Rio in Exile at Bullet Space in NYC with Feminist Art Group, as well as at Para//el Performance Space and The Ear in Brooklyn, NY. Internationally her projects have been presented at Czong Institute for Contemporary Art in Gimpo, South Korea, The Unstitute in Catalunya, Spain, Bangkok Underground Film Festival in Thailand, and NA Gallery in South Korea. Nationally her work has been shown at The San Diego Art Institute, The New School's exhibition at The Bushwick Collective, Roman Susan in Chicago, IL, and CX Silver Gallery in Brattleboro VT, among others.

In 2018 she founded Three Phase Center for Collaborative Art Research & Building in Stone Ridge, NY where she facilitates, collaborates with, and documents the work of process based conceptual and performance artists. She's continually motivated to work, present projects, facilitate, and collaborate with artists and idea people of any sort.

Today we talk about her upbringing be tossed in the air lots by acrobats and gymnasts and how her childhood set her up for being unmotivated by external validation or approval. This made for challenges in school, but seems to allowed for a vibrant life where she is guided by what is fun and fulfilling. We discuss some of the pursuits of her art in solving inconsistencies in language, memory and form, how perception is imperfect and malleable and several intersections between her work and thought processes and quantum physics. I try to keep up!

#182 "Life Hacks" with Eva and Theresa

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 26 Jul 2021 20:19:17 +0000

Today I share my conversation with my niece Eva Mae Widmann. She's 12 years old, doesn't consider herself an expert in any way, but I ask her some questions about how she does the things in life that she enjoys, as well as how she motivates herself to do the things she doesn't enjoy. We cover crafts, cooking, sports, the ukelele and self care. Everyone's got something to share with one another no matter age or status. For me, that's the beauty of today's show. Thanks Eva!

Here's Brightside's hacks that I reference with more details on those. Also, life hacks from 5-Minute Crafty Girls. And some other cool Buzzfeed life hacks.

Joyce's food cutting life hacks!

We listened to "Disparate Youth" by Santigold, "You Could Be So Happy" by Heartless Bastards, "Date with the Night" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" by Cat Power.

#181 Juliet Rania "The Dark Goddess"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 19 Jul 2021 21:46:33 +0000

Juliet Rania is the founder of The Source, a wellness community in Woodstock, New York. She has been an apprentice of Alessandra Belloni for the past two decades in the Southern Italian Black Virgin tradition and the shamanic healing path of the Tarantella. She is a spiritual representative of Shaykha Fariha Fatima of the Jerrahi Sufi lineage and has taught on Sufism at various venues throughout New York at venues including the U.N. General Assembly, Barnard College, Cathedral St. John the Divine, New York Open Center, Omega Institute, Sacred Arts Research, Deepak Chopra Homebase, and more. She teaches Sufi whirling, chanting and frame drumming both privately and in groups in NYC. She performs as a vocalist and percussionist in several ensembles including Persian Music Ensemble, American Sufi Project, and The New York Arabic Orchestra. She is also a writer with a Bachelor of Arts from the New School University and a Master’s Degree from Sarah Lawrence College.

Juliet has studied with one of my heroes, Marion Woodman, and recommended her book, Dancing in the Flames, The Dark Goddess in the Transformation of Consciousness. Today I get to learn more about the magic that happens in Juliet's life, and she indulges my questions and thoughts about the book which has been a tremendous gift in my life. We meander through thoughts about the dark goddess, death, destruction, the feminine, the masculine, the patriarchy, and creating something new outside of the broken systems that currently exist.

#180 Spirituality, Politics and Gun Culture with Marielena Ferrer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 21:55:30 +0000

Back at it for another round of deep thoughts and wild talks with Mariaelena and special guest Ulster County Sheriff Juan Figueroa.

Today, we veer ever so slightly away from the book and into the realm of gun culture and politics. We were inspired by this article about over 180 gun deaths over the 4th of July weekend, and refer to this article about guns and play. We dive into a bit of what it means for children and boys specifically to "play" with "toy" guns. Is it a part of developing as "boys" and having power over one another? Is this a necessary part of development? What is gun culture and can we change it in America? Would love to know what you think!

Send us any and all thoughts, we love to hear them.

#179 "Free Your Mind" with Theresa

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 5 Jul 2021 21:32:48 +0000

Following up on my first annual "freedom" themed show, this year, I return to the book, You Are Now Less Dumb, to continue sharing about different cognitive biases we all likely have. Last year I touched on "Narrative Bias" (you are a being capable of logic and reason who falls short of that ideal in predictable ways) and "The Backfire Effect" (when your deepest convictions are challenged by contradictory evidence, your beliefs get stronger). This year I turn to "The No True Scotsman Fallacy" (you will shift your definitions to protect your ideologies) and "The Illusion of Asymmetric Insight" (you are driven to create and form groups and then believe others are wrong just because they are others). But first, I talk about "self delusion" from the introduction to the book which gives a nice overview of our general misconceptions. Why do I care about these things? Well because I fancy myself an independent thinker, but the only real way to be sure of that, if surety is even possible, is for me to look for holes in my thinking and this book does a fabulous job of helping me to see where I fall short. So, if you too want to free your mind and be truly independent, then this is the show for you!

Here's my article on "unhiddenness."

You can hear my accompanying playlist featuring "Dreaming" by Blondie, "Roam" by the B52's, "Freedom" by George Michael, "Holiday" by Madonna, ""Free Your Mind" by En Vogue, "Freedom" by Beyonce, "My Power" by Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians, and my fave "Revolution" by the Heartless Bastards, lyrics below:

Where you going, my friend?
Have you forgotten when
There was a time filled with hope instead of fear that's in your heart
There was a time when life was simple and innocent to start
Do you remember?
Do you remember?

Where you going, my friend?
Have you forgotten when
There was a time when false information wasn't so rampant in the sphere
There was a time when you weren't questioning everything you hear
Do you remember?
Do you remember?

Constantly being advertised, your life commercialized and disguised
As happiness in pills and potions, fancy threads and cars in motion
Hypnotized by gilded lies to line the pockets of so few
While hungry politicians feed bullshit to the masses
To ensure their statuses and further divide the classes

Uh-huh

And you were born with a voice so open up and speak your mind
Raise consciousness and elevate how we all relate don't hesitate
No need to be better or smarter than anybody else
Leave judgement at the door for others and yourself

The revolution is in your mind
The revolution is in your mind
The revolution is in your mind
The revolution is in your mind

Big Brother's watching you and trying to sell you something new
And I just want to take away take away the blues
Big Brother's watching you and trying to sell you something new

When I get up, oh, I get up in the morning
All I really want is the truth

All I really need is the truth

#178 Sonita Alizadeh "Afghan Rapper and Activist"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 29 Jun 2021 17:37:10 +0000

Sonita Alizadeh was born in Herat, Afghanistan under the reign of the Taliban regime. Her family walked hundreds of miles to Iran in the rain and snow to escape. She grew up an impoverished, undocumented, refugee street child in Tehran. Without official papers, she could not attend school until a local non-governmental organization offered assistance; they provided a basic education to undocumented, refugee Afghan children.

At the age of ten, she was sold into forced marriage, but the contract fell through. Six years later, her family again wanted to sell her as a bride. With the help of a documentary filmmaker who had been following her story, they bought her some time.

Witnessing the injustices of the world, her friends swiftly disappearing as they were forced to marry, and fearing her own future, she wrote the song “Daughters for Sale.” With the aid of the Iranian filmmaker, a music video was recorded, and she was soon offered an opportunity to attend school in the US, so she fled.

Her story can be viewed in the award-winning documentary by Rohksareh Ghaemmaghemi which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2016, titled Sonita. (Sign up for a library card if you don't already have one and then you can view it!)

She has been privileged to be named as one of Foreign Policy Magazine’s Global Thinkers of 2015, BBC’s 100 Women of 2015, an Asia Societies Game Changer of 2017, a 2018 MTV Generation Change Award recipient, Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2019 and featured by CNN, NPR, BBC, Buzzfeed News and over 150 publications in 20 countries.

More than 12 million girls are forced to marry as children every year, she hopes to aid in finding a solution to the problem—to help save the lives of the next generation.

Today we talk about her life, her music and her dreams.

We heard the songs "Daughters for Sale," "Moaref," "Run Boy," and "Brave and Bold" by Sonita.

#177 DeShannon Barnes-Bowens "Ifa-Orisa Priestess, Psychotherapist, Educator, Spiritual Counselor"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 21 Jun 2021 22:27:35 +0000

Iya Rev. DeShannon Barnes-Bowens, M.S. (Iyanifa Iwalewa Ifasalewa Fasina), is the founder of ILERA Counseling & Education Services, and works as a psychotherapist, professional development trainer, and spiritual counselor. Through ILERA, she offers workshops and programs focusing on: sexuality and spirituality, sexual abuse, vicarious trauma and wellness. Iya DeShannon received a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Missouri - St. Louis, and a Master’s degree in Counseling from Pace University. She has practiced the Ifa-Orisa spiritual tradition since 2001 and is an initiated priestess. Iya DeShannon was ordained as an Interfaith Minister through One Spirit Interfaith Seminary in 2010 where she now serves as Co-Director.

Today DeShannon shares about her work, what it is, and how she got into it. She educates us about vicarious trauma, how to look out for signs of it, and how to take care of yourself. Part of our self care conversation takes us into thinking about what we value, and then making the choices to support what it is we want to value. DeShannon closes the conversation talking about the Ifa-Orisa tradition and how it found her.

Here's the Charles Eisenstein podcast on "Burnout and Renewal."

I read from an article from the Baltimore Sun about the Ifa tradition, and we hear the songs "Ifa" and "Egunegun" by Asabioje Afenapa.

#176 Mariaelena Ferrer "Spirituality and Politics"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 15 Jun 2021 01:16:57 +0000

Back at it for another round of deep thoughts and wild talks with Mariaelena.

Today, we veer ever so slightly away from the book and into the realm of taxes and billionaires, inspired by the recent Propublica Article revealing how little they pay in proportion to their wealth. In addition to the article, our conversation is also inspired by the documentary film Saving Capitalism based on the book by Robert Reich.

Send us any and all thoughts, we love to hear them. Thank you to Anthony for sharing his thoughts from our May conversation!

Shalini Pahwa has 20+ years of leadership experience and is currently the QA & Test Competency Leader for the US Client Innovation Centers at IBM. She manages a team ranging from test managers and automation SMEs (subject matter experts) to brand new associates, delivering full testing services to clients across industries. Shalini Pahwa is passionate about diversity and inclusion initiatives at workplaces and led IBM’s first Neurodiversity program and continues to support it as it expands globally. Shalini has a Master of Science degree in Computer Science from Loyola University at Chicago. She also holds a degree in Science and Indian Law from the University of Delhi, India. Prior to joining IBM, Shalini worked in Quality assurance field for the Plastics and Financial Industries. She also worked for Sports Authority of India as an Assistant Director for Sports Planning and Coordination. Shalini enjoys outdoors, photography and has been a state Volleyball player in India.

She is happily married to her husband, a Critical Care Physician and has two children, a son who is a copy editor and a writer in New York and a daughter who is at MSU in their Music - voice program.

Today we talk about all the positives about this program and how to overcome the perceived barriers. I've spoken to a few folks about this episode and learned that neurodiversity is a new term for many people. According to an online dictionary, here's the formal def: the range of differences in individual brain function and behavioral traits, regarded as part of normal variation in the human population (used especially in the context of autistic spectrum disorders).

Here's the IBM video celebrating their neurodivergent team.

And here's the article on Cultivating Curiosity!

And, and, here's the Billie Eilish song, Therefore I Am, that I cannot play in its entirety!

#174 Memorial Day Musings with the Words of Marion Woodman

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 31 May 2021 23:53:13 +0000

Hello and Happy Memorial Day! Today I spend some time honoring those who've served and set the stage for thinking of a better way of resolving conflict. First part is really stepping into the Chrysalis so that we can re-emerge as something new, a society with a greater balance between the feminine and the masculine, but first I offer some thoughts on the patriarchal nature of war and the military including an analysis of the language used that is unsurprisingly phallic in nature. In honor of the Chrysalis and the feminine, I read from Marion Woodman's The Pregnant Virgin and also little snippets from Dancing in the Flames. I'd love to hear your thoughts about all of this!

Kat Hunt is an artist and mystic who has been working in the the unseen realms for the past decade. She received her Akashic Records training and certifications from Christina Cross, longtime apprentice to Linda Howe. She is a founder of Moon Church, the feminist spiritual collective, and led women’s rejuvenation circles at Bushwick's Otion Front Studio.

Kat lives and works on bluestone mountain near Woodstock, New York, the traditional homelands of the Lenape.

Kat recently opened the Records of Fire during one of her Instagram Live offerings. It sparked a lot of internal inquiry for me that I wanted to dig a bit deeper and am grateful Kat was able to make the time to join me on today's show, to talk about Fire and Desire ,and to re-open the records for further inquiry. Let us know how this landed for you!

We heard the song "Burn" by Katherine Aplin.

#172 Ella Ray Kondrat and Jesse Scherer "Music, Love and Healing"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 17 May 2021 20:38:36 +0000

Ella Ray is a Kingston NY-based performer who completed her debut full-length album, Hum to Your Heart, released in August of 2019. Her self-generated genre blends her background in Eastern European acapella arrangements with the beauty of Cat Power and the heartache of Mazzy Star. Her preternatural voice sings over innovative acoustic chord structure as she details her romantic and sexual trials with painful memories of her past, vocalizing a strength which is tangible in her transformative music.

Also joining today's conversation is Ella's biggest fan and partner, Jesse Scherer, massage therapist and super volunteer who supports organizations like the O+ Festival and Health Care is a Human Right.

Today we talked about Ella's creative process and stepping into her own as a solo musician, healing, Jesse's thoughts on volunteering, love, heartache, relationships, and surviving COVID.

We listened to "Bringing Myself Back Home," "Hum to Your Heart," "i married Columbus," and "Do You Mind" by Ella Ray Kondrat.

#171 Marielena Ferrer-Harrington "Spirituality and Politics"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 10 May 2021 23:06:36 +0000

It's the second Moonday of the month and that means, the return of Marielena Ferrer-Harrington! She was a contributor to the book Espiritualidad y Politica which was published 10 years ago, and she feels it's time to start revisiting these subjects from today's lens. Mariaelena is the Executive Director of Humanamente — a diversity and inclusion consulting organization, Chair of the Athena Network New York — a psychosocial support network in the area of social services, health, and specifically in mental health, for immigrants experiencing psychological challenges related to the migratory process, a board member of the Family of Woodstock, a member of the Arts Mid-Hudson Advisory Board, and Kingston's City Arts Commission. You can listen to her previous interview from September of 2020 where we speak more about her life and her work, and here's our first conversation about Spirituality and Politics.

The book contains essays from internationally recognized authors including Ken Wilber, Ervin Laszlo, and Tariq Ramadan as well as Spanish-speaking pundits such as Jordi Pigem and Vicente Merlo, "Espiritualidad y politica" offers global and local proposals for integrating a spiritual dimension in the political sphere and, concurrently, for infusing current spiritual movements with a practical component. Society's relationship with money, cultural integration, sustainable development, and participation in public life are among the topics discussed in depth and with an actionable focus. The overarching message is that it is possible and necessary to marry the art of living (spirituality) with the art of coexisting (politics) to achieve peace.

Today we continue and expand upon the history and meaning of politics and spirituality, how they are related, why there connection is important and also Marielena explains how the Tarot is an important tool for her in understanding this subject as seen through the lens of the archetypes of the Major Arcana. We’d love for you to join in this conversation as it’s meant to support all of us through a deeper understanding of ourselves and one another.

#170 Mary Haddad and Ann Pierre-Louis "All Black Lives Matter"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 3 May 2021 19:50:56 +0000

Mary Haddad is an artist and student who took an idea she had about how to respond to the repeated destruction of a Black Lives Matter sign and turned that idea into a transformational, collaborative, creative experience for students of both the Oakwood Friends School, where the sign had been destroyed, and Spackenkill community which she's a part of. The result of her efforts is a beautiful mural commemorating the lives of just a few who have been killed by police in the past several years.

Also joining in our conversation is student clerk of the Oakwood Friends School, Ann Pierre-Louis, who helped to get the Oakwood Friends School students involved and who joined in painting portions of the mural.

The mural is currently part of the I.D.E.A. Inclusion, Diversity and Equity in America Gallery show at Cornell Creative Arts Center in Kingston.

The I.D.E.A. art exhibition is a collaboration with New Horizons Resources (NHR), The Arc Mid-Hudson, and the Cornell Creative Arts Center. It was conceived to enable the diverse population of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities supported by NHR, and their staff to express their feelings about social injustice in our world and our community. This show highlights artwork that expresses thoughts, feelings and experiences in regard to racism, social injustices and oppression faced by people supported and employed through both NHR and The Arc Mid-Hudson. Their hope is that the work in this exhibit promotes a mutual understanding of how racism impacts our entire society and community, and provides opportunity for constructive dialogue and positive change. They aim to create an environment where people can feel safe and supported in their need to discuss these very important topics and their impact. The Exhibition is on display from May 1-July 31, 2021.

You can view the virtual gallery online here.

Mary's mural will travel throughout the Hudson Valley, temporarily leaving the I.D.E.A. exhibit to be a part of a Juneteenth event at Mansion Square Park in Poughkeepsie, and then moving to the WomensWork.Art Gallery in August and the Art Effect Gallery in September.

Additional students who participated in the mural are from Oakwoods Friends School: Kaylie Agresta, Brandon Christansen, Shakiba Daqiq, Molly Doherty, Brooklyn Dottin, Celeste Farangi, Bella Gedeon, Ryan Kraehar, lla Kumar (ee-luh), Ra Kumar, Aubrey Mahoney, Kishi Oyagi, Ally Ramos, Fio Sachs, Lulu Schloss, Ruby Schloss, Jareth Stokum, Jenine Tobias, Ibrahim Waheed (ee-bra-heem) and from Spackenkill Community: Mariam Baloch, Ria Bhutani, Amelia Chapin, Maya Chinkan, Emily Cohen, Andrew Chun, Kathryn Gagliardi, Ava Geer, Grace Haddad, Najib Haddad (nuh-jeeb), Yousef Haddad, Mya Hansen, Anikha Justin, Kathryn Kaylor, Isaac Kolisch, Emily Ma, Sophia Maslyn, Elizabeth Mastrantuono, Ofeibea Micah (oh-fey-bee-uh), Olivia Michail, Liam Moren, Udaya Rattan, Deshaun Smith, Abigail Straus, Anoushka Swain, Hannah Ullinger

After our conversation, I share a bit about open-mindedness, which perhaps is an important element to real change as it relates to both law enforcement and other elements of our world that could use an upgrade. Open-Mindedness on NPR. Here's the Implicit Association Test mentioned in the NPR program.

#169 Kayleigh Stack "The Community Storytelling Composition Project"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 26 Apr 2021 21:07:51 +0000

Kayleigh Stack is an activist, artist, community steward, medicine womxn and a member of the neurodivergent community assuming the various roles of multidisciplinary performance artist, ethnographic researcher, oral historian and acupuncture clinician. Over the past ten years she has orchestrated spaces for people to share recorded audios of poignant histories and stories oriented around critical social and political narratives to be presented in an Oral History Performance Initiative: The Community Storytelling Composition Project.

https://www.thecommunitystorytellingcompositionproject.com.

Most of her work focuses on socio-political discourse, drawing upon performance as a subversive tool to generate conversation around a particular poignant or charged subject including; Disconnection, Involuntary Waste, Local Food Systems, Hydraulic Fracking, Gender politics and Systemic injustices.

She has degrees in Sociology from Hunter College, NY, Anthropology from SUNY New Paltz, NY, a Masters in Traditional Chinese Medicine at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and a NYS, NCCAOM Licensed Acupuncturist. Kayleigh is a part of the incoming Masters of Oral History cohort at Columbia University, and she will begin her PhD studies in Humanities at Concordia University with the Fall 2022 class.

All of The CSCProject performance initiatives are less about putting on a "show" and more about generating a conversation. The hope is that this conversation does not end with the presentation alone, but translates into long-term institutional, economic, policy, and infrastructural change. In an attempt to make the performance more immersive, we find non-invasive, tactile ways to connect with the audience through various props.

Here's a link to the online Zine that was discussed today as well!

And here's the "No One Like You" interview with several of the other CSCP collaborators.

Today’s show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radio Kingston, AND produced, hosted, and edited by ME, Theresa, so please forgive any hiccups.

#168 Silvia Federici "Scholar, Teacher, Author and Activist"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 22:18:01 +0000

Silvia Federici is an Italian and American scholar, teacher, and activist from the radical autonomist feminist Marxist and anarchist tradition. She is a professor emerita and Teaching Fellow at Hofstra University, where she was a social science professor, and she has also worked as a teacher in Nigeria. She was co-founder of the International Feminist Collective, and an organizer with the wages for housework campaign. In 1973, she helped start Wages for Housework groups in the US. In 1975 she published Wages Against Housework, the book most commonly associated with the wages for housework movement. Silvia also co-founded the Committee for Academic Freedom in Africa (CAFA), and was involved with the Midnight Notes Collective. In 1995, she co-founded the Radical Philosophy Association (RPA) anti-death penalty project. She is the author of several important texts including Caliban and the Witch, which we read and discussed during this past month of March. I am truly grateful for her generosity in time to be here with us on today's show.

Following our reading of Caliban and the Witch, Rakel and I are honored to be able to continue the conversation with the one and only Silvia Federici. She shares generously her thoughts on why this book is still relevant today -- because the events are still happening around the globe -- and where the movement needs to go -- grassroots organization and cooperation of activist groups to force the change to happen. There's so much richness and value in this conversation. Let us know what you think!

Also super grateful to Rakel Stammer, who introduced me to Silvia's work and steered the ship during today's conversation. Here’s the link to Rakel’s art show, opening May 8, 2021, “(s)mother 2.0 care in (a time of) crisis.

P.S. Here's the Facebook Livestream if you want to watch!

Oh, and here's the doc Rakel mentioned, Harlan County.

#167 Marielena Ferrer "Espiritualidad y Politica"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Tue, 13 Apr 2021 00:18:50 +0000

It's the return of Marielena Ferrer-Harrington! She was a contributor to the book Espiritualidad y Politica which was published 10 years ago, and she feels it's time to start revisiting these subjects from today's lens. Mariaelena is the Executive Director of Humanamente — a diversity and inclusion consulting organization, Chair of the Athena Network New York — a psychosocial support network in the area of social services, health, and specifically in mental health, for immigrants experiencing psychological challenges related to the migratory process, a board member of the Family of Woodstock, a member of the Arts Mid-Hudson Advisory Board, and Kingston's City Arts Commission. Marielena is an artist and the artist behind Radio Kingston has begun its Muchas Flores (Un Jardin, Many Flowers, One Garden) Campaign to welcome in the warm season. Check it out over People's Place. You can listen to her previous interview from September of 2020 where we speak more about her life and her work. Today, and every second Moonday of the month, she'll be joining me to discuss various topics related to this important book.

Spirituality and politics will set the tone for our monthly conversations as we meander through topics related to power, money, purpose, sustainability, compassion, community, participation in politics, service, ethics, the tarot and wherever else we are guided. We’d love for you to join in this conversation as it’s meant to support all of us through a deeper understanding of ourselves and one another.

Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda of Radio Kingston.

Spring Rebirthing time over here at i want what SHE has. With the shift to Moon-Daze comes a rebirthing of sorts that has slowly been unfolding since the beginning of the year.

#165 "Caliban and the Witch" Part 5 Book Discussion

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Wed, 31 Mar 2021 22:37:54 +0000

Happy Women's History Month! In collaboration with Women's History Month Kingston, we bring the discussion of Silvia Federici's Caliban and the Witch to a close this week, diving into Chapter 5, "Colonization and Christianization." We went way off text, but had a very meaningful (to me) discussion about some vitally important topics. Sassafras has copies of the book if you want to read and revisit this in more detail. Let us know if you do. We can keep the conversation going...

Here's Carolita's event, Goodbye to All That Book Re-Launch + Virtual Celebration, happening on April 13, 2021.

And here's the link to Rakel's art show, opening May 8, 2021, "(s)mother 2.0 care in (a time of) crisis.

And here's New York Caring Majority. Show them some love, get involved/donate, if you want to be a part of the change towards a more equitable and compassionate world. Their work is an integral part of the solution!

Rakel Stammer is an artist and teacher who primarily works in painting and drawing, but also dabbles in sound, installation, collage, writing, photography, printmaking and performance. Her work has been published in several magazines, anthologies and journals across the world and she has exhibited in Denmark, Sweden and the U.S. She was on the show before, pre-COVID in October 2019, talking about her series “The C%#& (C-word) Drawings” completed during a residency at Deer Creek Collective. Rakel speaks publicly and writes about capitalism, art, trauma, dominance and violence, seen through an anti-capitalist, intersectional feminist lens!

Carolita Johnson is a cartoonist (The New Yorker magazine) and illustrator from NYC. She spent 13 years in Paris, France, after graduating from Parson's School of Design with a degree in Fashion Design. In Paris, she earned a masters degree in Modern Letters and Linguistics, and got some (admittedly very idiosyncratic) chops in pre-doctoral Medieval Anthropology, which turned out to be her gateway drug to cartoons and illustration. She is also a writer, has appeared on HBO and NPR, performed in various esteemed settings, is an alumnus of the O+ Festival, and most recently added teaching via SUNY New Paltz to her list of accomplishments.

See you on MOON-days starting in April!!!

Today's show was engineered by Nick Panken, host of Freedom Highway, AND produced, hosted, and edited by ME, Theresa, so please forgive any hiccups.

#164 "Caliban and the Witch" Part 4 Book Discussion

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 24 Mar 2021 23:30:12 +0000

Happy Women's History Month! In collaboration with Women's History Month Kingston, we continue the discussion of Silvia Federici's Caliban and the Witch. This week we're discussing Chapter 4, "The Great Witch-Hunt in Europe," summed up here: “You are the true Hyenas, that allure us with the fairness of your skins and when folly has brought us within your reach, you leap upon us. You are the traitors of Wisdom, the impediment to Industry... the clogs to Virtue and the goads that drive us to all vices, impiety and ruin. You are the Fool’s Paradise, the wiseman’s Plague and the Grand Error of Nature.” Walter Charlton, Ephesian Matron, 1659. Lots to be said about this!!! Next week, we dive into Chapter 5, "Colonization and Christianization." Let us know your thoughts and questions!

Who's in this conversation?

Feminist activism!!! Listen to and support the women of Ghana. Here's their NPR story about being banished to the "witch camps." Today we heard their songs, "Witch Song," "Love," "Hatred Drove Me From My Home," and "We Are No Different Than You."

#163 "Caliban and the Witch" Part 3 Book Discussion

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 18 Mar 2021 02:04:26 +0000

Happy Women's History Month! In collaboration with Women's History Month Kingston, we continue the discussion of Silvia Federici's Caliban and the Witch. This week we're discussing Chapter 3, "The Great Caliban:The Struggle Against the Rebel Body." In Silvia Federici's words, "[o]ne of the preconditions for capitalist development was the process that Michel Foucault defined as the ‘disciplining of the body,’ which in my view consisted of an attempt by state and church to transform the individual’s power into labor-power. This chapter examines how this process was conceived and mediated in the philosophical debates of the time, and the strategic interventions which it generated." Lots of juicy stuff in this one folks! Next week, we dive into Chapter 4, "The Great Witch-Hunt in Europe." Let us know your thoughts and questions!

Who's in this conversation?

Here's the Podcast Beyond The Periphery: Reclaiming The Body Under Contemporary Capitalism w/ Silvia Federici that I referred to.

FEMINIST ACTION! Support NY Caring Majority's efforts to increase the wages for home care workers. Call Senate and Assembly leadership and let them know that #FairPay4HomeCare is a win-win for all New Yorkers! https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSfxBCAC.../viewform...

Happy Women's History Month! In collaboration with Women's History Month Kingston, we continue the discussion of Silvia Federici's Caliban and the Witch. This week we're discussion Chapter 2, "The Accumulation of Labor and the Degradation of Women: Constructing 'Difference' in the 'Transition to Capitalism'" and it's myriad of topics including: Capitalist Accumulation and the Accumulation of Labor in Europe; Land Privatization in Europe, the Production of Scarcity and the Separation of Productions from Reproduction; The Price Revolution and the Pauperization of the European Working Class; The State Intervention in the Reproduction of Labor: Poor Relief, and the Criminalization of the Working Class; Population Decline, Economic Crisis, and the Disciplining of Women; The Devaluation of Women’s Labor; Women: The New Commons and the Substitute for the Lost Land; The Patriarchy of Wage; The Taming of Women and the Redefinition of Femininity and Masculinity: Women the Savages of Europe; Colonization, Globalization, and Women; Sex, Race and Class in the Colonies; Capitalism and the Sexual Division of Labor. Next week, we dive into Chapter 3, "The Great Caliban: The Struggle Against the Rebel Body." Let us know your thoughts and questions!

Who's in this conversation?

FEMINIST ACTION! Support NY Caring Majority's efforts to increase the wages for home care workers. Call Senate and Assembly leadership and let them know that #FairPay4HomeCare is a win-win for all New Yorkers! Let us know once you make the call here: https://docs.google.com/.../1FAIpQLSfxBCAC.../viewform...

Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, (518) 455-2585

Speaker of the Assembly Carl Heastie, (518) 455-3791

SCRIPT: Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME]. I'm calling to urge [THEIR NAME] to include Fair Pay 4 Home Care in this year's one-house budget and ensure that home care workers receive a wage of at least 150% of the minimum wage. Because of the current low pay, New York is the center of a workforce shortage in this sector, with even more home care workers leaving the workforce in droves right when we need them most. This is forcing many seniors and people with disabilities to live in nursing homes instead of receiving their services at home. Assemblymember Dick Gottfried and Senator Rachel May are sponsoring this budget priority, and the bill number is S5374. Will you include Fair Pay 4 Home Care in the one-house budget?

#160 Jordan Scruggs, Arlene Coffey and Rachel Collins "Hustle Hard Girl!"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 25 Feb 2021 00:37:00 +0000

Today, I welcome back Jordan Scruggs, Director of the New Start for Women Program at SUNY Ulster. She was a guest way back in the day on Nov. 7, 2018 for Episode No. 42 and then again on Sept. 12, 2019 for Episode No. 86. I obviously love her! Jordan is joined today by two phenomenal women.

Arlene Coffey is 32 years old, a proud mama and a lover of life. She began New Start for Women through SUNY Ulster in July of 2020, where she is currently working on a certificate in General Management. Being in New Start has helped her to remember her passion for the business world and learning in general and she is enjoying the process of finding herself again. She loves being creative and has been doing a press-on nail venture on the side for fun during Covid season. She has high hopes for owning her own business one day and helping other women to find their voices and follow their dreams.

Rachel Collins is 41 years old and currently a full-time student at SUNY Ulster, where her major is Business and Entrepreneurial Studies. She has a license in esthetics and hopes to start her own skincare business from home once she completes her associates degree this spring. Her journey toward this goal started with New Start for Women as a member of the first cohort. Rachel graduated from the program with a certificate in General Management in May of 2020. In her downtime she enjoys reading, watching murder mysteries, playing Call of Duty with her 18-year-old son and snuggling with her cat, Arya.

Both of them share their life journeys which have included hardship, doubt, fear, resilience, perseverance, self-love, self-care, and hustle. Congrats ladies on being role models to all of us!

Applications to join the program are open until March 31st. You can contact Jordan directly at 845-303-3400 or scruggsa@sunyulster.edu.

Starting next week! Caliban and the Witch book discussion, a part of WHMK.org, is happening throughout the month of March. Join in the conversation by emailing me, or commenting on Instagram or Facebook as you tune in for some fun and fiery conversation with Rakel Stammer and special guests.

#159 Malebo Sephodi "Miss Behave"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 18 Feb 2021 20:25:56 +0000

Malebo Sephodi is a South African writer and researcher. With over 6 years corporate and just over 20 years community development experience, Malebo has worked and spoken in various parts of Africa, Europe and the Americas. She has worked with many Schools, NGO’s and the private sector tackling numerous socio-economic projects.

She has been listed by Okay Africa as top 100 women in Africa in 2018 and a Mail and Guardian Top 200 Young People in 2018. She was the recipient of the Fabulous Woman Brave Award in 2018 and a runner up in the Gauteng Legislature Vita Basadi Award. Malebo was also the recipient of the South African Literary Award first-time Published Author in 2018 and is a Wits City Institute Mellon Fellow and recipient of the Wits University Walter and Albertina Sisulu Prize. Her research interests include: Gender, Human Development Economy, Artificial Intelligence Policy, and the Hegemony of Science.

Her debut non-fiction titled Miss Behave published by BlackBird Books (imprint of Jacana Media) was released in May 2017. Dubbed by many readers as "compulsory reading,” Miss Behave tracks Malebo’s journey as a Black Woman in South Africa fighting for autonomy over her life. She addresses issues such as Patriarchy, Sexism, Intersectionality, Body positivity and Economic Quotas. Miss Behave has been long listed for the Sunday Times Alan Paton Non Fiction Prize.

Malebo shares how growing up in a family of activists was the start of her being seen as a pillar in her community and how the pressure to remain that pillar took a toll on her body which eventually led to an awakening of sorts (my language) with respect to self care. She shares how she learned to rest, find pleasure, joy and prioritize self care. Malebo also talks about the role spirituality plays in her personal care as well as her life in general, and how honoring her spirituality is decolonial work. "Science is knowledge, but who defines what that knowledge is." Malebo has also done a lot of work to end gender based violence, and she shares some of her lessons learned along the way. There are so many nuggets of wisdom in this talk today, grab a cup of tea and enjoy! Here's her TEDxTalk that I mentioned.

Also as mentioned at the end of the show, here's where you can find out about IONE's Dream Festival, happening now! http://www.ministryofmaat.org/dreamfestival.html

Today's show was produced, hosted, and edited by ME, Theresa, so please forgive any hiccups.

#158 Artist Rosalie Frankel "Mirth and Melancholy"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 11 Feb 2021 02:02:02 +0000

Rosalie Frankel is originally from the Bronx, but has made a home in many fantastic places like Vieques, Puerto Rico and Manhattan, and now calls Kingston her home. She has been making Collage since Kindergarten, setting figures free and featuring them in new stories. The work is an attempted examination of undeniable confusion inherent in the dichotomy between mirth and melancholy. She is exploring the lively stew of relationships as well as emotions. Her art is the vehicle to expose both the glory and struggle of Eros.

Rosalie shares about when she first starting making art, how she's finally learning to have faith in her work and process now that she's a bit older, letting go enough so that it doesn't stop her, not following the rules and how breathing helps her.

I also played a portion of an interview I participated in with Keiko Sono and Brett Barry, Podcasters Talk Podcasts. Check out Keiko's Intrinsic Podcast all about what makes life worth living. It’s about the innate value of each individual and the fundamental motivation that drives us. What if we could align this value and motivation with our jobs? What if we could support ourselves and our families doing what we are good at and enjoy doing? How would that affect our society? What would such a society look like? These are the questions we’ll be asking in Intrinsic.

New Moon tomorrow! Venus and Jupiter bringing in the LOVE vibration. I'll be working on a self love affirmation to carry us through my next 11 day practice which you can join in live (7am weekdays/8am weekends) or catch the IGTV on Instagram or follow along and join via YouTube. Starting Friday, Feb. 12th.

Love Yourself and Uplift One Another!

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 4 Feb 2021 01:48:01 +0000

Edie Pijpers is a self-taught artist who picked up her first guitar at 20 in L.A. to learn a couple of chords so she could start expressing and writing. She learned to record and produce her own music and the year 2020 gave rise to a brand new album We Are The Ones. Edie is also a painter who started painting in her late twenties in Nashville which led her to creating and publishing several children’s books. She also plays around with animation, see her short film “Day” and music videos. Her process of painting as with music is about flow. Of not believing that mistakes exist. Any move is part of the whole and the creation. It requires a great amount of trust. And diligent work/practice!

Today we talk about her start in music and how it has progressed over the years to her most recent album, "We Are the Ones." We listen to several songs, talk about the meanings of them which takes us into conversations about the shadow, our selves, presence and intention. Of course we also talk about her whimsical art, being in the flow, meditating and self care.

From We Are the Ones, we listen to:

"In the Shadows," "We Are the Ones," "Nature Knows," "Poets of the New World"

Today's show was engineered by Nick Panken of Freedom Highway on Radio Kingston.

#156 Maryline Damour" Kingston Design Connection

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 28 Jan 2021 00:39:22 +0000

Today's guest is Maryline Damour of Kingston Design Connection and Damour Drake. After many years working in marketing, business development and public relations for firms such as Deloitte, Ernst & Young, PwC and Accenture, Maryline returned to school to study interior design at Parsons The New School for Design. Originally from Haiti, Maryline has been actively involved in interior design projects in Haiti since the earthquake of 2010. She is currently developing a vocational school in Léogâne, Haiti focused on teaching safer building techniques and practices for the construction industry.

The Kingston Design Connection mission is to aid the creative community in the Hudson Valley to connect, collaborate and support each other’s businesses.

It has grown exponentially each year and has been featured in Architectural Digest; House Beautiful; Hudson Valley Magazine; Aspire Design and Home; Chronogram; Upstate House; Almanac Weekly; WSJ; and MSN.

Today we talked about how Maryline went from being a literature major to a marketing professional to an interior designer and most recently forming the Kingston Design Connection. Hint, it's all really just communication. She's full of deep wisdom and a desire to build community, and I loved our conversation!

You can find Maryline and KDC on Instagram.

I also introduced Malebo Sephodi, author, development worker and social commentator on development, identity and gender issues. We get to hear her Lyttleton Women TEDx Talk about self care as a tool of liberation! She's going to be an upcoming guest so wanted to introduce you to her.

Last but not least, I announce our book club! It's official, at the suggestion of past guest, Rakel Stammer, we're going to read and discuss, Sylvia Federici's, Caliban and The Witch.

#153 Deep Thoughts for the New Year with Theresa

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 6 Jan 2021 22:36:56 +0000

Slipping into the New Year with some deep thoughts about the things I think about. Like... revisiting my last year's resolution to practice non-judgment and how I failed at it because of things like Kundalini Yoga and QAnon (the irony is not lost on me that as I was doing my show they were storming the capitol), my adjustment and recommitment to non-judgment inspired by Charles Eisenstein, vibration, serendipity, signs from the Universe, devotion, self-care and starting a book club! Who's in? Seriously, let's pick a book that inspires that we can talk about on the show. Plus, I marry everyone to themselves and share the words of David Foster Wallace that resonate deeply with me. Here's my Youtube Channel if you want to join in the daily 15-17 minute practice. Hope everyone's year is a good one!

Today we heard TedxTalks by Joanna McEwen and Ulla Suokko.

#152 Belinda Farrell "Find Your Friggin' Joy"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Thu, 31 Dec 2020 14:39:25 +0000

Belinda Farrell is a Certified Master Hypnotherapist, NLP Master Practitioner, Huna Practitioner, and Reconnective Healing Practitioner. She's had an exceptionally adventurous life, teaching third grade for five years in Puerto Rico and Los Angeles, playing the character Snow White at Disneyland, as a TV News Reporter for KABC Channel 7 in Hollywood, working on the staff of Senator Charles H. Percy (Illinois) in Washington, D.C., firewalked 18 times with Tony Robbins, swam with dolphins, was a film and stage actress and a professional Precision Stunt Car Driver for TV Commercials and films. She healed herself from a significant incapacitating spinal injury and is the author of several books including Find Your Friggin Joy.

I recorded this interview early in the year, pre-COVID. As the world seemed to change because of the pandemic, I put it on the shelf for a more appropriate time. As the year was coming to a close, I listened back to my conversation with Belinda which felt like a much needed healing session and the perfect way to end the year. Belinda shares her adventurous life story and the wisdom she learned along the way including the power of forgiveness, believing in your ability to heal, overcoming fear, releasing the programming in the unconscious mind, cutting cords, Huna and working through the grief of losing her son to a drug overdose. The challenges of the pandemic won't end magically come January 1st, but I hope that we've learned ways to move through the challenges with the support of and by supporting others, to bring greater ease to all. Happy New Year to everyone! Wishing you a joyful 2021!!!

#151 Rachel Bernstein LMFT "IndoctriNation Podcast"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 24 Dec 2020 15:49:13 +0000

I'm doing cartwheels about today's guest! Rachel Bernstein, LMFT, has been working with victims of cults and emotional abusers for 27 years. She believes that given the right set of circumstances, it’s all too easy for anyone to fall prey to sociopaths and manipulators. She is the host of IndoctriNation: A weekly podcast covering cults, manipulators, and how to protect yourself from systems of control. She wanted to give survivors a chance to tell their stories and for experts to teach us what they know about high control groups. Her goal for IndoctriNation is to empower listeners to protect themselves and those they love from predators, toxic personalities, and destructive organizations.

Little known fact...I've been mildly obsessed or perhaps just highly curious about all things cults this year. I'll tell you more about that in the show, or you can read about it here. Rachel's podcast has been extremely informative and healing to me, helping me understand some of my own experience navigating a high control group. Some of the subjects that we get into on the show today are how to identify systems of control, the situations that make indoctrination possible, fervor and awe, betrayal blindness, how to remove yourself from a group, and how to support a loved one who is caught up in one.

Rachel's approach to this subject is not only effective, but it's also very informative and very compassionate. I hope you enjoy, and if possible support her work!

Here are the direct links to the shows I referenced: Consolidation of Church and State, Mark Vicente and NXIVM, QAnon, Fervor and Awe with Yuval Laor. And interesting that her most recent is about Kundalini Yoga!

#148 Kelly Lyndgaard and Unshattered's "Ambassadors of Possibility"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 3 Dec 2020 03:43:44 +0000

Kelly Lyndgaard is the CEO and President of Unshattered and has been a leader and trailblazer for women throughout her lifetime.

In addition to her impact in the non-profit world, she spent 16 years in the IT industry building, running, and transforming technology organizations. In 2015, she stepped away from her executive career to focus solely on the social enterprise she founded named Unshattered.

Kelly is an engineer and physicist by training, but a problem solver and strategist at heart. Inspired by the strength and commitment of women doing the hard work of recovery, she wanted to help them build them a path forward to sustained sobriety and economic independence. Her heart was broken seeing relapses occur for those who had worked so hard to attain sobriety but had no safe place to return to after recovery.

Kelly is ignited by challenge - in any arena of life - and loves nothing more than seeing potential where others do not and bringing it to life. She's on a mission to end relapse by providing job skills and employment for those who traditionally have difficulty finding employment.

Unshattered employs women in recovery to craft handbags and accessories out of repurposed materials such as retired military uniforms, sets from Broadway shows, manufacturing scrap and more. They have been awarded by the President of the United States for their creative and effective work in fighting the opioid crisis and were the 2018 Hudson Valley nonprofit of the year.

Unshattered boasts a 0% relapse rate for the women employed with the company.

Kelly and her husband live in Dutchess County, NY. She is a graduate of Taylor University and a Praxis Fellow. Outside of being an entrepreneur she loves reading, conquering challenges, and finding unexpected delight! On her days off you'll find her curled up with a mug a tea, a stack of books, and her rescue dog, Bell.

You can find her on Instagram and Twitter and learn more about Unshattered at www.unshattered.org.

Today we talk about being a physicist and engineer, walking away from it to pursue her passion to help others, overcoming judgment, how choices aren't character, how to grow a social enterprise, the strength of women, and the power in women helping women. You can purchase an Unshattered handbag from their website and even work with them on custom bags from repurposed materials that are near and dear to your heart. With your purchases AND your donations, they are able to help women coming out of recovery get back on their feet, find an apartment, and gain employment so that they can break the powerful cycle of addiction. Unshattered conservatively estimates that they save the state $103,000 a year in costs associated with addiction and incarceration for each woman they are able to help break the cycle. Become an ambassador of possibility by giving them your support!

Today’s show was engineered by Nick Panken of Freedom Highway on Radio Kingston.

#147 Grace Villamil "Multidisciplinary Artist"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 23:13:51 +0000

Today's guest is Grace Villamil, a multidisciplinary artist exploring interconnectivity between humans & nature through installation, video, and sound. She has performed live-video manipulations as accompaniment to electronic & live instruments in venues over the globe. Her work TAYO was done in collaboration with Ione (Pauline Oliveros’s life partner) and Lisa Kelley (founder of the deep listening community) to bring awareness to the separation of children and families & give support to immigrant communities in Kingston and around the world. Most especially this project directly addresses the immigration issue in the United States focusing on the children, women, and families who have been separated by ICE. You can view TAYO at 615 Broadway in Kingston.

TAYO, the inclusive “We” or “Us” in Tagalog, the language of the Philippines, (Grace’s background and where her parents emigrated from in the late 1960s) is a light+sound activation and ongoing community sculpture at Pauline Oliveros’ Deep Listening Plaza in Kingston NY. The TAYO sculpture is an on-going community effort where anyone can add a stuffed animal in solidarity with the children. The stuffed animal is a symbol of the unconditional love children are constantly giving to the world. TAYO is a physical manifestation of the strength & love a community can bring in our most trying and difficult time.

Grace shares her experience as a daughter of immigrant parents who wanted the best for their daughter which to them meant full assimilation, and how she later fell in love with the Philippines after traveling there as an adult. We discuss her piece TAYO, and why it was important for her to bring a shrine to the immigrant families to Kingston. Grace openly shares about her journey into and through her art, why and how she makes her pieces and the fear around creating. You can see images of the pieces we discuss as well as enjoy the meditations that are a part of Coloring Book. Grace writes, "It can be freeing to live in and with the unknown and unanswerable," and this is what we get to explore through her art. Thanks Grace!

I hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving! Want to join in with some gratitude practice? Here are 50 Questions to Inspire Gratitude!

Being a nurse during COVID, opening a business during COVID, being a mom, wife, business partner, business owner, mentor, board member and board member and... the list goes on. Tamika shares some valuable information on what it's like to run a food production business and how they grew organically into having their own cafe and store. As a member of the Police Reform and Reinvention Committee, Tamika shares some valuable insight into why these initiatives are not only important, but necessary. Of course we also check in on self care and how she really does it all and still has a welcoming smile on her face! Some things to note in particular: they are looking for mentors for their Seasoned Gives business mentoring program, and they also have a support your neighbor program at the cafe where you can pay it forward if you've got it. So much goodness!

Here's a link to the Guided Chakra Meditation I mentioned at the end of the show. Let me know how you like it!

#145 Perla Ayora and Martha Preve Ayora of "No me Digas!"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Sat, 14 Nov 2020 16:47:38 +0000

Today I get to speak with two creative latinas, Perla and Martha. They've collaborated together on several projects including this short, OFF OFF OFF OFF Broadway, and their new radio show "No me Digas" on Radio Kingston.

Martha Lorena Preve Ayora @martha_preve ✨one half of the dynamic duo behind No Me Digas on Radio Kingston. She is a Mexican theater and film actress, writer, director and producer. She is the co-founder of Something from Abroad @somethingfromabroad an Indie theater company based in NYC. Originally from the Yucatan Peninsula, Martha loves creating art that mixes English and Spanish and combines her Mexican traditions and culture with American characters. Martha has also been working as a Stage Manager OFF BROADWAY. In her free time, she enjoys reading, going to the beach and watching as much dark comedy as she can!

Perla’s back! As the other half of the creative team behind “No Me Digas” on @radiokingstonny and frequent collaborator with her cuz Martha, she’s been busy since February when she was last on the show to talk about her stand up comedy. Soooo much has happened, or not happened since then, but cleary Perla’s making the most of it while stand-up is on hold. As a stand-up comedian @perla_ayora enjoys writing songs, poems, essays, and… jokes. As a member of the Radio Kingston tech team, if you’ve ever been to one of their supported events, you’ve likely seen her dancing between wires, framing cameras, or setting up a stage with complex technical sound design. Originally from Yucatan, Mexico, Perla now lives in Kingston with her hubby and two children.

“No me Digas” Is a bilingual show about top news and contemporary events, hosted by two latina comedy writers, Martha Preve Ayora and me, Perla Ayora. We will make you think and laugh at the same time. It’s fun and informative, informativo y divertido. Irreverent and unapologetic, sorry, maybe just irreverent. This show will promise to exceed your expectations as long as they are very low. Tune in and if you support diversity share this show with the people you like, if not, share it with the people you don’t like. There is a lot of division in this world, we hope at least we can laugh together. It doesn’t matter if you don’t speak Spanish, you will end up yelling “¡No Me Digas!”

Here's the collage class I was talking about with past guest Mel Toth.

Here's the article I referenced on 3-Minute Commitments!

#144 Hope and Healing with Reiki Master Lorry Salluzzi

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 5 Nov 2020 00:35:12 +0000

Seems like a good day to focus on hope and healing. Allow me to introduce Lorry Salluzzi who is a stress management therapist, Lupus survivor, psychic medium, Reiki master, healer and teacher. She was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus in 1988 when her doctor could not be sure she would live through the night. Medications saved her, but she was not getting any better. Through the practice of Reiki and Guided Imagery Meditation, she achieved full remission 2 years later and has had no evidence of the disease since 1990. Her doctor still sends her patients as do many other practitioners in the allopathic and holistic fields. She has had success with many chronic health challenges such as cancer, depression, pain, migraine, Lupus, chronic fatigue, Epstein-Barr, etc. Lorry believes that Reiki and Meditation will change your life in a positive way by managing stress before a disease can occur. And the amazing thing is Reiki is something you can do for yourself whenever you need a little love!

I think it's important to mention that Lorry's story is not meant to imply that if you are suffering from some illness that it's your fault, that you haven't done enough. Some things are just simply out of your control. Her story and her work is meant to empower you to take positive steps for your own wellbeing if that's something that resonates with you. Tune in to hear Lorry's wild journey into Reiki and be inspired into hope for whatever it is you're needing to call into your life.

Here's a direct link to Lorry's offerings on her Patreon page.

Today’s show was engineered by Nick Panken of Freedom Highway on Radio Kingston.

Our show music is from Shana Falana !!! and we heard "Everyone's Gonna Be Okay" by Shana as well as "Devi Ma" by Mother Medicine.

#143 Beth Bengtson is Working for Women

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 28 Oct 2020 20:11:07 +0000

Beth Bengtson believes that real change happens when business talent supports non-profit missions, when women achieve economic independence, and personal passion meets organizational focus! She started WorkingForWomen (W4W) to provide a new operating structure that taps into all these pillars.

She learned the power of purpose-driven business practices through years of education and professional experience. She has an MBA from Schiller International University in Paris, France, and a BS in management from Penn State University; and is certified in empowerment design and facilitation through the Empowerment Institute. She has spent 20 years in leadership roles on the agency side and in-house at organizations large and small, facilitating change through communications internally and externally. Her focus is on helping organizations evolve and be purpose-driven.

Her work is strengthened by an energetic family – two adolescent boys, two dogs, and her husband – biking, hiking, skiing, and kayaking. Any remaining free time is spent with friends or alone in nature.

Beth says the key to success is taking baby steps toward your goals each day.

Today we talk about how she's fared personally during the pandemic, the state of women's issues/work and funding, what she's up to at W4W and taking care of our shared outdoor spaces. You can learn more about and make a donation to the Wallkill Valley Land Trust here.

Here's the info for Raising Hope's Fundraiser, Thursday, October 29th, 7-8pm.

Here's the info for Seasoned Gives Domestic Violence Awareness Yoga with Tara Sanders, Saturday, October 31st, 12-1pm.

And here's a link to my Full Moon Manifestation Zoom class on Friday, October 30th, 10am.

#141 Barbara Sarah "Circle of Friends for the Dying"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Thu, 15 Oct 2020 02:04:32 +0000

83 years young, Barbara Sarah, has brought a lot of goodness to the world and shows no signs of slowing down. Following a breast cancer diagnosis in 1992, she left a 20-year career as a school social worker on Long Island and chose to dedicate herself to work in oncology. Founder of the Oncology Support Program at HealthAlliance Hospital in Kingston, she is the recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the NY State Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers and the NY State Governor’s Award for Innovation in Breast Cancer Education. She's a Co-founder of Circle of Friends for the Dying, which both sponsors “death cafés,” which consist of people sitting around talking about living, death and dying, and is in the process of renovating a Home for the Dying as an alternative to the hospital or a nursing home. For 25 years she has been an instructor of Morita and Naikan therapies, Buddhist-based strategies for mental wellness. She's one of the organizers of Calling Our Ancestors, an event taking place in Academy Green Park in Kingston on October 25th from 2-4pm with ritual, drum, calling in the ancestors, sharing and dear Barbara will be leading the group in song, "We Will Meet Again."

We talk about growing up during WWII, singing to raise money for war bonds, theater, social work, cancer, death and her Japanese practices that regularly help her stay in a place of gratitude and living each day to her fullest. She's a joy and a force, and I hope you enjoy getting to meet her through our conversation!

#140 Leslie Woodward "Edenesque Nutmilks"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 7 Oct 2020 21:01:44 +0000

Chef Leslie Woodward, CEO/Creator of Edenesque, has been passionate about clean eating, local and seasonal foods for over 20 years. Her belief is that most diseases are connected and caused by the foods we eat or do not eat. As a student of Holistic Nutrition, Leslie worked with individuals to support their healing using food and training those clients to use proper cooking techniques. Leslie wanted to understand nutritional diseases in communities of color and begin to unpack the common arguments that are claimed to be the causes for such high diagnosis of nutrient deficient diseases within said communities.

Then, while going to the grocery store, Leslie recognized that the products that filled our grocery shelves were filled with ‘stuff’ – fillers, additives, preservatives…stuff that is not nutritionally supportive for our bodies. Meanwhile, people are suffering and dying from nutrition related diseases and having to rely on prescription drugs for sustained wellness. One could argue, that due to the lack of clean and wholesome foods in many areas of our country, notwithstanding, food deserts, public health in our country is at crisis.

Leslie’s dream was a bit idealistic and altruistic but she wanted to figure out a way to holistically serve her community by using her culinary talent. Guided by these main principles – first, create clean food and produce food items that will strengthen and support our bodies. Next, create a company that will be supportive and provide opportunities to those that are institutionally underserved in our community. With these guiding principles, Edenesque was created.

Today we get to talk about all this plus how she takes care of herself despite having a full time job and running her up and coming business.

If you are interested in the event this weekend you can stay tuned to the Facebook Event here or if you're not on Facebook, the event is on the calendar here and will be updated if we need to move it or cancel.

Today’s show was engineered by Nick Panken of Freedom Highway on Radio Kingston.

#139 Helen Zuman "Mating in Captivity"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Thu, 1 Oct 2020 01:45:36 +0000

After some short technical difficulties, I finally connected with today's guest, Helen Zuman, a tree-hugging dirt worshipper devoted to turning waste into food and the stinky guck of experience into fertile, fragrant prose. She holds a BA in Visual and Environmental Studies from Harvard and a Half-FA in memoir from Hunter College. Raised in Brooklyn, she lives with her husband in Beacon, NY and Black Mountain, NC.

She is the author of Mating in Captivity (She Writes Press 2018), a memoir of her five years, post-Harvard, in a cult with a radical take on sex and relationships. Mating in Captivity received a starred review from Kirkus, was named a Kirkus Best Indie Memoir of 2018, was a finalist in Creative Nonfiction for the Community of Literary Magazines and Presses’ 2019 Firecracker Award, and was both first runner-up in memoir and a finalist for First Horizon and Grand Prize honors in the 2020 Eric Hoffer Awards. Other work has appeared in The New Farmers Almanac, in Communities and Livelihood magazines, and on the Foundation for Intentional Community’s website (ic.org).

Mating in Captivity: When recent Harvard grad Helen Zuman moved to Zendik Farm in 1999, she was thrilled to discover that the Zendiks used go-betweens to arrange sexual assignations, or “dates,” in cozy shacks just big enough for a double bed and a nightstand. Here, it seemed, she could learn an honest version of the mating dance – and form a union free of “Deathculture” lies. No one spoke the truth: Arol, the Farm’s matriarch, crushed any love that threatened her hold on her followers’ hearts. An intimate look at a transformative cult journey, Mating in Captivity shows how stories can trap us and free us, how miracles rise out of crisis, how coercion feeds on forsaken self-trust.

In addition to cults, we also talk about the journey to trust oneself, the "infinite growth myth," gift circles, her connection to a well balanced eco-village that is doing intentional living well and how she takes care of herself (no social media!). I can personally highly recommend her book even for those not remotely curious about how one gets pulled into a cult. It's extremely well written and uniquely empowering to hear some of the more difficult details of her story.

Looking for an intentional community or wondering about the health of one you're currently in? Helen's article may be of help to you. And if you do have friends, family or loved ones you fear are wrapped up in a cult, eh hm, political party, then Helen recommends some resources written by therapist and cult expert Steven Hassan. You can tune in to hear the best thing Helen's Mom did easing her exit from the cult mind-control.

The Youth Crew at the YMCA Farm Project made a new video called, ”Truth Talk.” The premiere will be launched on You Tube at 7pm on Friday Sept 25, and be public after that. They have an event created on Facebook where they will post the link.

"Truth Talk" - content was written by the teens based on their antiracist work this summer. Directed, filmed, and edited by Alonzo "AJ" Jordan Jr..

The Summer Youth Crew worked on antiracist learning and action this summer. They read Stamped Remix, painted a Say Their Names utility box mural on Schwenk Drive, discussed and reflected on all they were learning, had guest speakers share their experiences, and teamed up with local florists and artists to share the Say Their Names Memorial along the fence at the greenhouse and farm. Visit the Memorial on Saturday Sept 26 or Sunday Sept 27, 12-5pm, for an opportunity to have a tour or ask questions of youth crew members.

In the second half of the show I pay homage to the Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsburg with a little help from Ruth herself, March Gallagher, Ruth Ungar and more.

Here is the information on this Sunday's Healing event taking place at Academy Green Park in Kingston from 3-5pm. Come any time and stay as long or short as you'd like!

#137 Maria Elena Ferrer-Harrington "Artist and Consultant"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 16 Sep 2020 22:00:31 +0000

Maria Elena Ferrer-Harrington is the Executive Director of Humanamente — a diversity and inclusion consulting organization, Chair of the Athena Network New York — a psychosocial support network in the area of social services, health, and specifically in mental health, for immigrants experiencing psychological challenges related to the migratory process, a board member of the Family of Woodstock — a network of individuals whose mission is to provide confidential and fully accessible crisis intervention, information, prevention, and support services to address the needs of individuals and families, and a socially engaged artist.

Maria Elena has successfully facilitated migration-related workshops since 2004. As a member of the global Athena Network Association, Maria Elena has presented her work with immigrants at the network’s annual Migration and Mental Health congress in London, Rome, Berlin and Brussels. She introduced the concept of migratory mourning nationally in 2012, and has since led migratory-mourning panel discussions at several conferences.

She is a member of the Arts Mid-Hudson Advisory Board, and has been recently appointed by Kingston’s Mayor, Steve Noble, to the City Arts Commission. Maria Elena’s drawings and paintings were recently exhibited at the Muroff–Kotler Visual Arts Gallery at the State University of New York at Ulster awarding her the opportunity to show her artwork at highly regarded Plaza Gallery of the State University of New York in Albany in 2019. She juried the Cornell Creative Arts Center’s very first exhibition, "We’re All Humans," and inaugurated The DRAW’s new studio at the Energy Square with her art installation, "Masking Identities: Rebuilding Deterritorialized Cultural Memories," a deep dive into the complexity of the migrant’s narrative and experience. Both art shows are open to the public through October 2020.

Today she shares her own experience as a migrant, what migratory mourning is, the complexities of migration, rebirthing and of course ART!

Today's show was engineered by Manuel Blas of La Dosis Perfecta.

#136 Gentrification

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Fri, 11 Sep 2020 12:28:37 +0000

The subject of gentrification in our area has been an important one for several years and is reaching peak crisis now that there's a great migration to our area from New York City. I wanted to better understand gentrification and how we can prevent its harmful effects and this show is highlighting what I've learned in pursuit of a better understanding of the situation. We hear from many women on this show via speeches I was able to source from the internet.

Stacey Sutton, Associate Professor of Urban Planning and Policy in the College of Urban Planning and Public Affairs (CUPPA) at the University of Illinois Chicago. Her research focuses on worker cooperatives, economic democracy, equitable development, and racially disparate effects of place-based policy and planning. In a forthcoming study, titled “Cooperative Cities,” Stacey examines how municipal leaders are creating enabling environments for starting and sustaining worker-owned cooperatives and limitations of the local state in the cooperative movement. Other bodies of work focus on “Punitive Cities,” meaning the disparate impact of urban policies and place-based initiatives. This includes examining the impact of business improvement districts (BIDs) for small businesses in NYC and the impact of red light and speeding camera tickets on drivers across Chicago. Finally, Stacey examines interplay among race, gentrification and neighborhood change. This is reflected in an article on gentrification and racial transition in the Journal of Urban Affairs. It is also the premise of her book project titled, Buy Black: Race, Retail and the Politics of Neighborhood Business Survival, that examines neighborhood change through the lens of Black small business-owners. Stacey tells how business-owners were instrumental for revitalizing a Brooklyn neighborhood and how processes of gentrification, including the enactment and enforcement of land-use rules, building codes and other regulatory apparatus, hasten shop closure and upend community cohesion. Sutton holds a joint PhD in Urban Planning and Sociology from Rutgers University, and a MBA from New York University. Stacey Sutton, TedX NY 2015

#135 "Universal Basic Income" with Keiko Sono and Diane Pagen

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 3 Sep 2020 00:09:30 +0000

Today I am joined by Keiko Sono, artist and founder of Forged Art Collective, previously on the show last September, episode #87, who returns to talk more about Universal Basic Income (UBI) and the upcoming, Woodstock 20 March for the Future.

You can join in the Woodstock '20: March for the Future by making art and music, and shape the future of humanity.

"On Saturday, September 19th, people all over the country will rise up and demand a society that is humanity first. No more profit over wellbeing. No more winners-take-all economy. No more accepting greed as the dominant force.

We demand Universal Basic Income, a fair share of the remarkable growth in productivity and wealth our world has enjoyed in the last 4 decades, most of it increasingly concentrated in fewer hands.

With UBI providing a secure base to hold us up, our potential will be free of the constraints that affect our mental and physical health, and we will not merely survive—we will thrive.

With our potential unleashed, we will create, share, and help each other, as the quarantine and pandemic cash aid showed. Universal Basic Income is an investment in our future with a big return—not ROI, but ROH: Return of Humanity."

Keiko and I welcome Diane Pagen halfway through the show for your questions. She has been a social worker for New York City and a social policy analyst and writer for fourteen years. Diane was privileged to be mentored by and work with welfare expert and activist Theresa Funiciello from 2000 to 2008, and co-wrote The Adventures of Carrie Giver: The Cost of Caring with Theresa in 2007. Diane is a founding member of Basic Income Action and Basic Income NYC and working to build the Basic Income Movement with others. She writes and presents about the diversion of welfare block grants away from low-income people, and is meeting with people who are interested in stopping the systematic dismantling of the U.S. safety net. She has a BA in Languages from the Universidad de Puerto Rico and an Master of Social Work from Fordham University.

They answer questions about the importance of the "universal" in UBI, how it is to be funded, VAT, UBI's effects on inflation, and more. They both shared many resources which I am listing below for your reference:

#134 Jaguar Mary X "Midnight Medicine Journey"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 27 Aug 2020 13:19:20 +0000

Today's guest is none other than Jaguar Mary X host of Midnight Medicine Journey, a show that was birthed as a mash-up of recitations and discussions about science-fiction books by people of color, interviews with local and global artists, plant healers, spiritual visionaries, and medicine people with featured music from around the world. It continues to evolve as JMX expands and expounds about afro-futures, plant medicine, ancestors and spirit-infused ritual practice with an emphasis on queerness and mysticism. JMX identifies as a performance artist, a medicine woman working primarily with the plant mugwort, an elder, a fairy being, a hooper, a buddhist, all gender or non-gender, and down for discussing the movement away from the punitive justice system. Today we get to learn a little about JMX's upbringing and deep dive into Buddhism at an early age which included hours of chanting mantra which led to some sharing of wisdom on language, decipherability, thought processes, and neurological rewiring. JMX shares their love of mugwort, how they use it in incense and ritual. Speaking of, you can purchase the magical stuff that she makes via artemisianegra.com/ In the vein of mugwort and ritual, we talk self care and one of JMX's favorite Midnight Medicine Journey shows on Nap Ministry and rest as resistance.

We close out the show talking about anger, desire, happiness, and gratitude. I am grateful for Jaguar Mary X and the archive of her shows that await me.

Today's show was engineered by Manuel Blas of La Dosis Perfecta.

Our show music is from Shana Falana !!!

We also heard, "Beautiful One" by Simi Stone, "Dance" by ESG, and "If You Could Hear Me Now" by The Mammals.

#133 Anna Hafner "Artist in the New World Pandemic"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 19 Aug 2020 20:30:04 +0000

Anna Hafner is a multi-disciplinary artist, working in the areas of costume, painting, performance art, illustration, lo-fi installation and DIY puppetry. She is a creator of occasional rituals and happenings.

Anna's performance art manifests in two ways: first, as a colorful pantheon of costumed creatures, who live amongst hand painted backdrops filled with verdant textures; second, darker solo performances, using waste to question human excess and societal control of the feminine. She uses tactics of mime, Butoh and improv to lead performance rituals. Anna's costume and mask work are made with recycled mixed media and trash is often incorporated within each performance, through set, prop or costume. Imagery of her performances are echoed within her illustrations, paintings, prints and backdrops; they are expressive and mystical, honoring nature through symbol and landscape.

Drawing on esoteric ideas, mythic symbolism and nature, Anna's work aims to speak abstractly and emotionally about the greater struggle of excessive waste within society, the destruction of nature, uncontrolled human greed, and our lost connection with the Earth.

Today we talk about lots of important stuff like... identity, being a performance artist during a time when there are no performances, shifting her studio and work during COVID, teaching art, the healing power of creating, hope, mental health, self love, her creative process, self care, taking care of the earth and bunches more.

You can join Anna's Patreon HERE and get access to all goodies she so generously births into this world and follow her on IG here! Oh and Anna recommends checking out Taraka Larson's "The Now Age."

#132 Talking Socially Distanced Yoga with Juliana Machado, Jacquelyn Nash and Carisa Borrello

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 02:21:41 +0000

Joining me on the show today are the following passionate and generous teachers...

Juliana Machado (E-RYT 500) is a native of Brazil, who moved to New York in 2000 where she was introduced to yoga. She has taken 4 yoga teacher trainings since then: Ashtanga Primary Series a 200 Hour TT (2001), Forrest Yoga a 200 Hour TT (2006), and "Life of a Yogi" 500 Hour TT with Sri Dharma Mittra (2012), and the 800 Hour “Life of a Yogi” with Sri Dharma Mittra (2013). Juliana considers herself to be a lifelong student who is lucky enough to share and teach her lessons learned on this sacred science with all those who wish to receive it. She has taught in New York, Florida, California and in South America for the past 18. Juliana believes yoga is the "house of no judgement" where one of the best things a student can do is to practice as often as possible and never give up. Her teaching style comes from a belief in empowerment of the higher self and observance of the yoga ethical rules on and off the mat. She tailors her classes to fit needs of the ones in the room, so everyone in her class receives the maximum benefit from their time spent on the mat. With a background in contemporary dance and awareness through the movement, Juliana blends her artistic experience with her love of yoga, creating a unique space for self-exploration and discovery through the practice and power of yoga. Juliana believes that the highest we go, the easier it gets as we walk the path of yoga. After offering her classes widely across the globe, Juliana put roots down and opened Yoga Path for Healing in Catskill in 2017.

Jacquelyn Nash is a yoga teacher and co-owner of The Yoga House. With her roots and practice firmly grounded in the Ashtanga lineage, Jacquelyn’s classes draw from the foundational principles of that practice but also incorporate the softer and therapeutic applications of yoga that she has absorbed through various trainings. Jacquelyn teaches with the intention to make yoga accessible to all people and to demystify the “secret language” of yoga. Inspired by the light-heartedness but also sincerity of many of her teachers, Jacquelyn’s approach to sharing yoga is nurturing, compassionate, and seasoned with a touch of humor. Jacquelyn also owns and manages Hudson Valley Wedding Yoga, which organizes yoga classes for weddings, bachelorette parties, and special events.

Carisa Borrello is the director and owner of The Living Seed, which opened its doors to the Hudson Valley Community in the summer of 2000. Carisa is certified in Sivananda Yoga, Somatic Yoga, Yoga Tune Up®, completed the Forrest Yoga foundation course and two Advanced Teacher Training Courses with Ana Forrest, Gil Headly's 6 Day Human Dissection Workshop and is initiated into the path of Andean Mysticism with Elizabeth Jenkins and Don Juan Nunez Del Prado. She is a certified Hanna Somatic Educator (CHSE) from The Novato Institute for Somatic Research and Training, and a level 6 Student and level 1 Instructor of I Liq Chuan, the Martial Art of Awareness, a family style Kung Fu based on principles of Tai Chi and Zen philosophy. Carisa is eternally grateful for the devotion, wisdom and insight that all of her teachers and ancestors have shared with her. Their passion for their arts, for healing the human spirit and mending the hoop of the people are a daily inspiration. She is honored to practice and share the art of Hanna Somatics, Yoga and the Internal Arts- they are gifts - bringing us back to ourselves so we can heal, love and grow to express our highest potential. Carisa creates a sanctuary, a sacred place for people to deepen their relationship to their spirits through movement, mindfulness, meditation and creative expression.

Today these ladies share how and why they got into yoga, how they became yoga teachers and then eventually yoga studio owners. We checked in on how they are doing business now with COVID forcing the closing of their physical spaces. They are all offering classes virtually and in person outdoors with some on demand options at the Living Seed and The Yoga House. They of course also offer private sessions and if you were inspired by Carisa's sharing of Hanna Somatics, she is also doing private sessions outdoors at her home and her studio which for pain management and other needs. They happily share how yoga has changed their lives for the better and offer ways to stay connected to the present moment versus in fear or anxiety during these uncertain times we are all navigating.

Because we broadcast out of Kingston, NY, I wanted to also recognize the other Kingston based studios, The Hot Spot offering outdoor and online classes, and Yoga Lab offering online classes.

#131 Maggie Noe and Marine Nimblette from "Businesses United in Diversity"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Thu, 6 Aug 2020 14:23:18 +0000

Today I get to chat with Maggie Noe and Marine Nimblette who earlier this summer began collaborating on Businesses United in Diversity and will be having their first event this Saturday in Uptown Kingston at the DMV lot.

Maggie Noe, an undergrad double-majoring in International Area Studies and Business at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. An alumna of Kingston High School and resident of Woodstock, NY, Maggie has been connected to the community for her whole life, and is now finding a way to give back by hosting a COVID-19 relief event that recognizes the disproportionate negative impact COVID has had on minority businesses.

She was inspired by the Black Lives Matter protests in Kingston, seeing young leaders take charge got her thinking: “How, in my own way, can I give back to my community?” After rolling through ideas like running for mayor, she came about the idea of a food truck festival where all proceeds would be donated to Black Lives Matter charities. She called Marine with this idea, and thank goodness she did. Together, they made an undeveloped idea for a food truck festival into an diversity-centered business event to stimulate economic growth in the community.

Marine Nimblette is an undergraduate student at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. She is a Cell and Molecular Biology major planning on applying to medical school. She has a passion for helping people and wants to have a positive effect on this world. As an alumna of Kingston High School and a child of immigrant parents, she has always felt that the Hudson Valley has a strong sense of community. She believes that during this time it is more important than ever to unify and strengthen our community’s resources by uplifting the members who have been neglected: minority groups. As a minority, she has experienced the hurdles that come with trying to be successful in a majority-white community and hopes to help alleviate this struggle for others by giving minority businesses an opportunity to showcase themselves.

Businesses United in Diversity's Mission: It is a known reality that minority businesses are subject to a lack of managerial and industrial resources, discriminatory lending practices, and an absence of community support. COVID-19 made this reality even more consequential: black-owned and minority-owned businesses have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19. COVID-19 has impacted businesses of all types significantly over the past few months by limiting foot traffic to a near-complete halt, restricting household incomes, and creating a fear of being surrounded by others that will last for years to come.

For these combined reasons, our mission is to help counteract the systemic hurdles and effects of COVID-19 that minority business owners (with an emphasis on black owners given the societal circumstances) have faced in the Hudson Valley. We want to host an event that will allow businesses to showcase their services and be exposed to a higher volume of consumers while practicing social distancing. Given that the removal of systemic hurdles minority owners face is encompassed in the mission of black lives matter, to represent the united support of the BLM movement by Ulster County we will be donating proceeds to local BLM charities.

Today we chat about how and why they put together this event, plus get into the personal and discuss college, COVID and self care.

Today’s show was engineered Nick Panken host of Freedom Highway from radiokingston.org

We also heard music from Shana Falana ("Go Higher" plus all show music) and Nubya Garcia ("Fly Free")

Morgan Millogo and Meg Affonso of "Tabs & Clea" and "BODY"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Thu, 30 Jul 2020 00:32:26 +0000

Morgan Millogo graduated with a BFA in Film and Television Production from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. A Washington native, Morgan spent five years as part of the Seattle Indy film scene as an actor and director and was also a Burlesque Performer and Emcee. After the unexpected death of her father, Morgan lived as a nomad and became a Certified Contemporary Shamanic Practitioner and Yogi. Now relocated to the Hudson Valley, Morgan most recently worked as Head of Production at InsideRisk LLC and part of the core content team, overseeing the development of an interactive television series as well as live multi-media events throughout the world focused on fostering critical thinking. Her recently released web series, TABS AND CLEA, marks her first project as a writer, actor, director and producer since the passing of her father in 2010.

Meg Affonso is an intuitive artist, actor, choreographer, writer, producer & director; she is a gifted storyteller who has the performing arts ingrained in her soul. Meg has performed in a variety of theatrical productions, ranging from musical theatre to dramatic plays. Meg has studied various forms of dance throughout her life and has performed in film, web series productions, commercials & television. Meg has written two screenplays & a stage play and continues to be open to art in all of its forms. Meg’s mission is to tell stories that matter & to help others by introducing them to art as a multifaceted healing modality. She is one of the cast of Tabs & Clea and has an upcoming performance show titled, BODY, happening at the Albany Center Gallery the next three consecutive Sundays. Morgan directed the short film which will be a part of the performance.

Tabs & Clea: Tabs, a psychic who has dedicated her life to helping people, has fallen into a crisis of faith. When her audacious ex-roommate, Clea, unexpectedly shows up and demands to know why Tabs has stopped using her gift, Tabs is forced to face and discover the truth of a tragedy she did not foresee.

BODY: Sundays, August 2, 9, & 16, from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m. -- Meg Affonso and Albany Center Gallery present BODY, an experiential and immersive art installation that explores the sacred connection between the body and the soul that exists in each individual. The public is invited to attend free of charge (ages 12 & up, content not suitable for small children). Signing up in advance is recommended to reserve a spot, but walk-ins are accepted if there is available room. Do so here: http://www.eventbrite.com/e/body-tickets-112398521002 Shows are filling up!

The elements of BODY include: three short dance/dialogue-based films, live sculpture + movement, an immersive audience experience, collective artistic creation, photography, and movement labs and release through writing that will be transformed into physical art that represents rebirth. BODY is inspired by the poem “I Sing the Body Electric” by Walt Whitman and also by the current events in today’s world. BODY is representative of the struggles that individuals face from birth through death and the beauty that exists in between all of the difficulties. BODY is an examination of our ego, prejudices, biases and the truth of what we can be if we choose to grow and live our soul’s truth. This piece is a collective experience for the community not just by telling a story, but also by encouraging art as a path to the healing and joy that we can all experience no matter our backgrounds or beliefs.

Today we talk about being storytellers, relationships, their work, ego and women in TV and film. Lots of fun, lots of laughs too!

And here's the previous show with Maria we mentioned!

#129 Lydia Willoughby of Sassafras Mercantile

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 23 Jul 2020 02:20:59 +0000

Lydia Willoughby, Founder & General Manager of Sassafras Mercantile comes from a family of pine tree farmers and geologists in South Carolina. As shopkeep and general manager Lydia (she) has always been drawn to plant life and soil. With her Moon in the 12th House, and Sun in the 8th House, Lydia’s work revolves around exchange and nurturance in integrating the unknown and the mysterious into accessible platforms for transformation and resolution built on systems of care. Lydia offers tarot readings from a queer, trauma-informed perspective that engages the cycle of life, death, and rebirth through the collective human experience. She studied herbalism with Dina Falconi, and studied tarot in person with Lindsay Mack and Audrey Gilbert. Lydia completed a permaculture design certification course with Sowing Solutions in Shelburne Falls, MA.

Sassafras Mercantile was founded with an interest in connecting community knowledge to personal liberation, and convening a beautiful, inclusive, queer, feminist, anti-racist space that asks questions with curiosity and answers with a full heart and a little bit of magic in the City of Kingston, NY.

Today we chatted about Lydia's background and relationship to land and trees, how she got into the work she does today which is very multifaceted but also naturally connected and aligned. She shares a new project at Sassafras, the monthly wellness subscription box, how Tarot fits into her life and how she offers it to others, and a whole lot more. Stay tuned for more cool community collaboration and offerings from Lydia and her crew!

Today we heard music by Shana Falana including "Right Now is All We Know" from her most recent album, Darkest Light.

#128 "Kingston Reads About Racism" with Kathy Sellitti and Charlotte Adamis

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 16 Jul 2020 14:42:22 +0000

Joining me today are Kathy Sellitti, Assistant Principal at Kingston High School and Charlotte Adamis, School Librarian, J. Watson Bailey Middle School in Kingston, two of the several organizers of "Kingston Reads About Racism" talking about the book So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo. Their next community discussions will take place, Thursday, July 16th and Thursday July 31. Please RSVP in advance to get the call information. You can listen in to their first discussion here.

Today they share how this started in their schools with their colleagues and how they've seen some pretty significant transformation amongst themselves and their peers. We dig into some of the subjects of the book like white privilege and police brutality and what we've all learned about our privilege from reading this book and expanding our awareness of the experiences of black and brown people. They share resources that have been helpful to them including the work of Bettina Love, author of We Want To Do More Than Survive, Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom.

I am grateful to these women for bringing this conversation to our community and being willing to share personally on the show today. I look forward to joining in with the continuing community conversations to follow.

As mentioned, Shaniqua Bowden also touched on this book along with Why I'm No Longer Talking To White People About Race (by Reni Eddo-Lodge) during her show the Nubian Cafe with guests Erica Brown and Rashida Tyler back on January. Check it out!

Today’s show was engineered Nick Panken from radiokingston.org

#127 "The Marginalized Majority" with Onnesha Roychoudhuri

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 9 Jul 2020 01:42:26 +0000

Onnesha Roychoudhuri is a writer, speaker, and educator with over 15 years of experience working at the intersection of storytelling and social justice.

She is the author of The Marginalized Majority: Claiming Our Power in a Post-Truth America, named one of the best books of 2018 by Kirkus Reviews. (NOTE: you can buy it at RoughDraft in Kingston.)

Onnesha regularly leads writing and storytelling workshops for organizations across the country, including the Moth and the Reproduction Health Access Project, as well as at universities such as San Francisco State University, Rutgers University, Hunter College, Pratt Institute, and Western ConnecticutState University, where she is an instructor in the graduate writing program.

Part of this work involves trainings to advocates working on the frontlines of the fight for social justice and equity.

A 2013 fellow at the Center for Fiction, Onnesha’s writing has appeared in publications such as Rolling Stone, Kenyon Review, n+1, Virginia Quarterly Review, The Boston Review, McSweeney’s, The Rumpus, The Nation, The American Prospect, Salon, and Mother Jones. She is a 2011 and 2012 Pushcart Prize nominee, and has been awarded residencies at Hedgebrook and Blue Mountain Center.

Today we had some fun and deep moments discussing topics like journalism, her book, white male objectivity, #metoo, protests, Black Lives Matter, truth, social justice story telling and self care. One of my favorite quotes from her book, “To believe that non-violent protest is unnecessary, pointless, over the top or reflective of an unreasonable impatience presupposes that your day to day existence is tolerable and acceptable.” Truth!

Onnesha is participating in a virtual Moth Mainstage on August 6th, mark your calendars!

Today’s show was engineered Manuel Blas from radiokingston.org

We also heard music from Shana Falana!

#126 "Freedom, Love, Joy and Peace" with Theresa

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 2 Jul 2020 17:41:53 +0000

Today it's just me, Theresa, talking about freedom and independence with a little help from some musicians and the book, You Are Now Less Dumb by David McRaney. Why this show? Why this format? The 4th of July stirs up lots of thoughts and feelings for me so I seek to find some answers or get clearer on the narratives that drive these thoughts and feelings. We'll dive into the Declaration of Independence, some history, a cursory overview of narrative bias and the backfire effect which is basically a biased narrative problem, and how these biases may affect how we view our history and the current events unfolding in our world today. Oh our poor, little, infallible brains!

NOTE: I cannot play all these songs in their entirety on the podcast because of rights so if you want to hear the show as it aired you can catch it on Radio Kingston's website!

Here's the NPR playlist that I reference, and the following songs are played in an effort to expand the base of narratives that shape our understanding of history.

"Joanne Little" by Sweet Honey in the Rock, "Supper Time" by Ethel Waters, "Strange Fruit" by Billie Holiday, "Another Man Done Gone" and "Trouble So Hard" by Vera Hall, "Alabama" by John Coltrane, "Wade the Water to My Knees" by the McIntosh County Shouters, "Land of the Free" by Esperanza Spalding, "America" by Prince. Here's a Spotify playlist with the available songs.

Today’s show was produced, engineered and edited by me :) blame me!!

We also heard music from Shana Falana!

#125 Anrika Colbourne of "One N Only Cakes"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Thu, 25 Jun 2020 00:04:30 +0000

Anrika Colbourne got her start at Ulster County Boces simply by being in the Culinary program, which opened a door to a whole new world! She later graduated from Johnson & Wales University where she was able to experience a myriad of new elements of the pastry world. She later studied in Peru and Canada, while she working in resorts, restaurants, and as a pastry instructor. From interning at Bobby Flay’s restaurant, to working at small bakeries (sometimes 2-3 at a time), to the transition into the corporate world as an industrial pastry chef, her love always lied with cakes. She started One N Only Cakes as a home-based establishment created in Kingston, New York in 2013.Being a first-generation American to Caribbean parents, Anrika is a vibrant, passionate, innovative pastry chef with a strong Caribbean background, which is a big influence in her baking. Her love of flavor reflects in her baking with a somewhat modern style. She prides herself on her quality, original flavors and thinking of something new and creative with every request. After years of traveling up and down the east coast of South America, central Canada, and the east coast of America, Anrika is finally back home where it all started. One N Only Cakes offers a wide array of tiered and sculpted cakes for weddings, baby showers, birthdays and so much more!

We talk about how she got into and through culinary school, her various jobs and travels, landing back in Kingston to start One N Only Cakes, COVID quarantine, losing her grandfather, Love Slices, self care and overcoming self doubt!

Today’s show was engineered by Nick Panken of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

We heard music from Jill Scott, Nao, Jorja Smith, St. Beauty and Shana Falana.

#124 Juneteenth with Jessieca McNabb and Monique Tinsley and Multicultural Festival with Sarah Litvin and Caprice Rouge members Laura Crimmins, Karen Levine and Elena Erber

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 17 Jun 2020 21:13:54 +0000

Today, we're talking Black Lives Matter, multicultural community and UNITY!

Joining me in the first hour is Jessieca McNabb, comedian, co-host of Harambee Radio,No One Like You and oft guest on My Kingston Kids on Radio Kingston... and an active member of the Harambee Coalition, a mid-Hudson valley coalition that supports and promotes the strength of our community through cultural and educational events that enriches the lives of youth and adults. You can also catch Jessieca's last appearance on "i want what SHE has" Episode #106, from February 5, 2020.

Joining Jessieca is Monique Tinsley, Jessieca's "day 1," who is also a vital member of the Harambee Coalition, working with Jessieca on initiatives to protect and restore the African Burial Ground on Pine Street and the upcoming online Juneteenth Celebration taking place online this Saturday from 1-4pm.

The Juneteenth holiday is considered the "longest running African-American holiday"[22] and has been called "America's second Independence Day". This Saturday's Celebration will take place live on Harambee's Facebook page to celebrate and remember the African-American Independence from slavery in America. This online festival will entertain, encourage and educate guests on parts of the African-American experience. This is a family friendly event which will include song, dance, spoken word, history, talk and more from various participants at locations throughout Kingston. This event is in loving Memory of Pastor Paul Worthington.

Jessieca and Monique speak with me about the Black Lives Matter protests, Juneteenth, the African Burial Ground and the importance of self care. Words they shared that I want to amplify are the need for white people to really pause regularly and soak up the reality of the black experience in the past few hundred years so that we don't stop the pressure until there's real equality and appreciation for black lives.

In the second half of the show I am joined by Sarah Litvin, PhD., Director of the Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History to talk about the Multicultural Festival that is happening online now. The online festival website is the host to rich content from our diverse history and community; performances, cooking instructional videos, greetings in various languages, a list of our diverse restaurant scene and a community quilt.

Joining Sarah are three members from the band, Caprice Rouge, Laura Crimmins, Karen Levine, and Elena Erber, who are participating performers in this year's online festival.

Caprice Rouge is an acoustic ensemble from the Mid-Hudson Valley of New York State playing Balkan, Roma-Gypsy and Klezmer dance tunes! Performing on traditional instruments including accordion, violin, bouzouki, gypsy jazz guitar, clarinet, and percussion, the band is happy to play for dancers, revelers, and listeners at taverns and cafes, festivals and farmers’ markets, at weddings and other celebrations!

Stay tuned for live performances by the band once we're safe for social distancing, and in the meantime, join in the online festival which will continue to have more content added to it in the coming weeks!

Today’s show was engineered by Nick Panken of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

We heard music from Caprice Rouge and Shana Falana.

#123 Raising HOPE with Amy Summers and Tasha Ortloff

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 10 Jun 2020 20:54:57 +0000

Today I am joined by two phenomenal women from Raising HOPE!

Amy Summers, Program Director for Raising HOPE. She is responsible for the overall coordination and organization of the Raising Hope administrative and operational components, and programmatic components as well as recruitment. She was the former Director of the Big Brothers Big Sisters satellite program at Amherst College where she interviewed and matched “Bigs” with “Littles”, supervised an onsite program, planned and ran program events, and provided support and trainings for program participants. She is also an experienced facilitator of women’s empowerment workshops, meditation and stress reduction classes, and conscious communication counseling, all of which she culls from to create, facilitate and coordinate programming & workshops for Raising HOPE participants. She has a degree in Women’s Studies with a concentration in Workshop Development and experience as an entrepreneur, as the former owner of Transformations Workshop Center and Gallery in Amherst MA, and currently operating Aquoga ® Aquatic exercise and adapted yoga classes in Ulster County.

AND

Tasha Ortloff who is the Raising Hope Assistant Program Director who brings administrative, operations, marketing, advocacy, technology, and interpersonal skills to Raising HOPE. As someone who attained her college degree while working, and being the single parent of two children, she knows first-hand the difficulty of achieving educational and career goals in the face of challenges. She is a Board Member for Health Care is a Human Right, and prior to her work at Raising HOPE, she was the Director of Operations and Development at the Adoptive and Foster Family Coalition of NY.

Raising HOPE, is a women's mentoring women program through the United Way of Ulster County whose vision is to inspire a community of women to mobilize their time, talent, and financial resources to help other women achieve their potential. They offer H-O-P-E, Help, Opportunity, Passion and Empowerment to support women on their journey to self-sufficiency. Woman-to-woman mentoring, where a mentor supports, encourages and guides a mentee has an immensely powerful impact on the mentee's ability to achieve her academic and professional goals. In short, having someone believe in you can make all the difference.

Raising HOPE serves women 18+ who want to achieve personal, educational, or vocational goals and seek support to reach them. Their Mentees have a broad range of life experiences, but they all have one thing in common: a desire to improve their lives, and those of their families, by making a commitment to their Mentors - and themselves - to work hard to achieve their goals.

They welcome all women 30+ who have life experience they'd like to share and desire to help others, to consider becoming a Mentor.

Their Mentors play a number of roles including:
-Partnering to achieve personal, educational, or vocational goals.
-Being a sounding board about choices and priorities.
-Providing feedback in communication and life skills.
-Motivating when encouragement is needed.

Raising HOPE offers regular online classes including Motivational Mondays which you can learn more about via their Facebook Page. They are accepting mentee applications now for a new matching that will take place this Fall, and stay tuned for info on their Celebration of HOPE event taking place this October, 16, 2020!

#122 "The Worst Years" Podcast with Sabine, Noelle and Maeve

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 4 Jun 2020 12:44:56 +0000

Today I have the honor of playing an interview I did with the three girls who are the hosts of The Worst Years podcast.

Maeve is an only child with two moms and a dog named Brooklyn. She lived in Brooklyn, NY, until she was eight (hence the name of her dog). This summer, she will turn 11. Maeve is a competitive gymnast and plays clarinet. Her favorite subjects in school are writing, reading, science, art, and anything related to music. Maeve loves hiking and biking and everything outdoors. She’s been going to Wild Earth since she was five. When she grows up, she wants to be an interior designer.

Sabine is the middle child of a big family that lives in a three-generational household. She plays cello and piano and will be 11 this summer. She wants to be a mathematician for NASA when she grows up, so she can study the stars. She became a vegetarian when she saw a billboard about animal rights. When asked what’s her favorite thing to do, she says, “Eat. Sleep. Play. Repeat.”

Noelle at age 10 3/4 is the youngest of two children and lives happily between her amicably split parents. Noelle loves reading and writing. She likes cats, playing the ukulele, comedy, and dislikes the color chartreuse. Noelle sings and plays string bass, and thrives on karaoke in her spare time. Bitten by the theater bug last year in the high school production of Matilda, she has developed a love of the stage, and when she grows up, Noelle wants to be an actor on Broadway!

We learn about the making of their podcast, middle school, their likes and dislikes and life during quarantine!

Today’s show was engineered by Manuel Blas of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

We heard music from our fave, Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/ AND the girls' suggestions: "Joke" by Brandi Carlile, "Would You Be So Kind" by Dodie, and "Bad Guy" by Billie Eilish

#121 JoAnn Stevelos "Public Health Advisor, Researcher and Speaker"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 28 May 2020 02:11:24 +0000

Today I am honored to welcome JoAnn Stevelos to the show. A public health advisor, researcher and speaker, she started out working in a virology lab and has since worked for startups and nonprofits to prevent cancer, type 2 diabetes and other chronic illnesses, and is now presently the Executive Director for the Coalition for Supportive Care of Kidney Patients at the School of Nursing at George Washington University. She is a musician, playwright and writer who has used both her professional and creative skills in her work to prevent child violation, trauma, and sex trafficking, as well as to help political activists who have survived prison and torture receive the psycho-social services needed to help them reintegrate into society. She is published widely including a book about her own story as a victim, survivor, and advocate of child sexual abuse by clergy titled, Howard Be Thy Name.

Today we talk about some difficult yet important conversations like child sexual abuse, grooming of communities by abusers, childhood obesity, young male sexuality, pornography, and early childhood intervention to prevent abuse. JoAnn shares about her creative endeavors which have helped her do some pretty difficult work over the years, how her work with the Coalition has been affected by COVID-19, public health in light of what we're experiencing with COVID including an article she wrote about Helping Child Abuse Victims During COVID-19, and one of her favorite subjects, HOPE! She's truly a well of profound wisdom and a force of positivity whose story I am so happy to be able to share.

Thanks JoAnn, can't wait to follow along in all your creative endeavors!

#120 MK Burnell "More Music Podcast: Quarantine Beat"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Thu, 21 May 2020 02:34:45 +0000

Still in quarantine, still making it happen!

Today's guest is MK Burnell, host of the brand new podcast More Music Please: Quarantine Beat, where she chats with music industry professionals about life during COVID... and whatever else comes up. Until the pandemic shook things up, she was a radio host and music director with a particular passion for supporting local and emerging artists. She lives outside of Kingston with her partner and dogs. When not in lockdown, she performs with bands Locofreeq, Uncledad and Cold Flavor Repair.

We check in about how she's doing during the pandemic, how she got through being let go from her radio host gig mid quarantine, starting a podcast, some of her favorite musicians like Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift, making music with her bands, mindfulness and hiking. So good.

We listened to a favorite song of MK's, "13 Beaches" by Lana Del Rey.

Tune into her podcast, new episodes released every Monday!

#119 Shannon Donnell "NYC Nurse on the Frontline"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 14 May 2020 00:50:29 +0000

The one and only, Shannon Donnell is my very special guest today. Shannon is a nurse on the front lines in NYC right now, but she had three days off last week and graciously gave me some of that time for an interview to hear how things are going for her out there. You may know Shannon from her years of running the clinic for the O+ Festival 🙏🏽 She’s a multitalented musician, vocalist and big-hearted, brave nurse making a huge difference in people’s lives! ❤️

Shannon walks us through becoming a nurse, the various iterations of roles she's taken on as a hospice nurse and travel nurse up to her current role on the front lines during this pandemic. She indulges my curiosity around lung health and explains the term of the day, pulmonary toileting. Yep! And Shannon agrees, "our lungs are amazing!" She gives us a little tutorial on breathing for good lung health and shares her recommendations for reopening, hint...think like a nurse and wash your hands. Of course we get a little philosophical, talk about self care, the state of the healthcare system, a new economy, and gush over our mutual adoration for Jim James of My Morning Jacket.

Thank you Shannon! We’re thinking of YOU!!!

Here's O+'s Facebook Page where you can find more information about the Loving Kindness Meditations which will likely be happening on Fridays going forward. I'm subbing this Friday! 2pm Eastern. Here's the Zoom link to join. The Mental Health Hotline can be found on their website here.

Here's my article of the oft referenced, "Epic Elimination Diet"

To all the podcast listeners who want to cry with the songs, here you go!

"Look at You" by My Morning Jacket

In the infinitely wise words of Jim James from "Wonderful (The Way I Feel)":

"I'm going where there ain’t no fear
I'm going where the spirit is near
I'm going where the living is easy
And the people are kind
A new state of mind

I'm going where the ain’t no police
I'm going there ain’t no disease
I'm going where there ain’t no need
To escape from what is
Only spirits at ease"

#117 "Surviving COVID with Girlfriends" with Jen Donovan, Ilissa Viviani, Michelle Renar, Kristen Uhl and Nellie Hill

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Thu, 30 Apr 2020 02:25:24 +0000

Today I catch up with 5 women whose work and lives have been affected by the global pause. They share where they are at both personally and professionally, what's been a challenge, what's changed for the better or the worse, how they envision going back to work, what they're grateful for, what they miss, and how they've leaned on each other to get through it all. Thanks for joining ladies! I hope y'all get to hug each other soon too!

Jennifer Donovan is back for a COVID catch up. Founder of Le Shag a full service hair and beauty salon based out of Kingston, NY. Jen has continuously evolved and innovated her business model to expand into Glo Spa, the Le Shag Capsule soon to be opening into Stone Ridge, Le Shag Weddings, Le Shag Academy and the Hudson Valley Beauty Collective. Today, she's gathered some of her gal pals to talk with me about life during quarantine and after juggling the business pivots, childcare and loan paperwork, Jen is looking forward to a real vacation once this is over.

Ilissa Viviani, Le Shag Salon Coordinator, is currently working from home and fielding the numerous calls by clients eagerly awaiting their hair appointments. Le Shag has been offering color kits and Zoom consults in order to temporarily support their clients patiently awaiting their re-opening. She is also excitingly going to be partnering on the new Le Shag Capsule in Stone Ridge. Seven months pregnant, Ilissa has enjoyed the slowing down and connecting with local Kelder Farms for her fresh local veggies each week.

Michelle Renar, Owner of Hudson Valley Body Works, opened her small private practice in the historic stockade district of uptown Kingston in 2004. Prior to that Michelle interned at the Caprini Pain Treatment Center and the Ronald McDonald House in Manhattan and helped facilitate the first massage therapy program for the Kingston Hospital, working for 4 years in the hospital setting providing massage therapy for OB patients. She is certified in cancer and terminal illness massage, she is also a Certified Educator of Infant Massage and a Registered Diagnostic Ultrasonographer. Michelle has been connecting with others in the massage community to build best practices and share thoughts and plans for moving forward once things re-open, but is also hoping to maintain the balance that she's achieved with this forced slow down of her life.

Nellie Hill, is the Owner of Nellie Hill Events, a boutique wedding design and production company for creative couples planning a destination wedding in the Hudson Valley, Catskills and beyond. Nellie has been producing and designing events for the past 10 years in the Hudson Valley. She has had a passion for parties and events from the time she could walk and talk. Nellie graduated from Marist College with a bachelor's degree in Communications and has a background in the service industry. Nellie just had her second child during COVID and shares how she's most looking forward to celebrating her new baby and connecting with family when we're out of quarantine.

Kristen Uhl, is the Director of the Very Little Red Schoolhouse, a NY licensed day care center that is located in Hurley, NY. They are an infant and toddler program that offers care for children six weeks to three years of age who strives to provide a fun and safe learning environment for the children to grow every single day. Kristen struggled with whether to stay opened or closed and eventually made the difficult decision to protect herself and her staff and close for the remainder of the NY PAUSE. Kristen is grateful to her girlfriends for their support during the challenges of the past few months, and looks forward to the return of big, messy family dinners with her many siblings.

Thank YOU Ladies!

#116 "Happy Earth Day!" with Jaysa Hunter-Mellers, Youth Climate Advocate and Lynne Cherry of Young Voices for the Planet

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Lyn Widmann) — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 20:25:44 +0000

Big Day, Happy Earth Day! Today on the show...

Jaysa Hunter-Mellers’ dynamic speeches at rallies and her testimony at City Hall helped shut down the coal-fired power plant that was causing her asthma. Jaysa has become a passionate advocate for environmental justice and for national school civic education so that kids—and adults, too—can learn how to participate in their own governance, take action, and speak to power like she did. At 14 years old, Jaysa continues to galvanize audiences with a courage and wisdom. She has been a Youth Leadership Panel Participant at OMEGA’s 2019 Drawdown Conference and co-led YVFP’s Civic Engagement and Democracy workshop at the Ashokan Center’s 2020 Youth Empowerment & Sustainability Summit (YESS!).

Jaysa won admission to the Fairchild Wheeler Interdistrict Multi-Magnet Campus where she attends the Information Technology and Software Engineering School. Its mission is to create a culture for passionate investigators to develop solutions for the global community that lead to fulfilling careers. Jaysa is active in her school’s Debate Team where she's frequently won 1st place. In addition to her school Drama Club, Jaysa’s been lead singer and performer for several theatrical productions at the 80-year-old, Broadway-sized Klein Memorial Auditorium. Jaysa’s other pursuits include Vex Robotics Team, Gender and Sexuality Alliance Club, and Student Council. She’s participated in the Girls Leadership Summit at Fairfield University and the STEM Girls Who Code Summit at Bridgeport University. Jaysa is also a TIME Kid Hero for the Planet.

Lynne Cherry, Author, Illustrator, originator, producer and director of the Young Voices for the Planet films, is well-known for her popular children’s books especially her rain forest classic, The Great Kapok Tree and her environmental history A River Ran Wild. Lynne Cherry is the founder of YVFP and currently a Visiting Scholar at the Benjamin Center @ SUNY New Paltz. Lynne is collaborating with a variety of interdisciplinary partners to bring the YVFP film series and curriculum into NY schools and working with the Mid-Hudson Teacher Center on a professional development series for educators interested in integrating civic engagement, climate education and environmental justice into their classrooms.

Young Voices for the Planet made a short doc film about Jaysa's story, Words Have Power. The film educates people about climate change and its effects upon humans, social justice in relation to climate justice, and environmental racism. Jaysa and Lynne have spoken after film screenings including the Belmont World Film Festival and the Climate Action Film Festival. Here's the Words Have Power lesson plan.

The mission of the Young Voices for the Planet film series is to to limit the magnitude of climate change and its impacts by empowering children and youth, through uplifting and inspiring success stories, to take an essential role in informing their communities — and society at large, challenging decision-makers, and catalyzing change. They document youth speaking out, creating solutions and leading the change. These youth solutions to the climate crisis include stories of California kids banning plastic bags, Florida students saving their school $53,000 in energy costs, an 11-year-old German boy planting millions of trees and other young people changing laws, changing minds and changing society as they reduce the carbon footprint of their homes, schools and communities.

Some vital YVFP partners:

Zinn Education Project's - Teach Climate Justice ("Words Have Power" is included among these resources)
Our Children's Trust (Juliana v US) Making the Case forScience-Based Climate Action
CELF (Children's Environmental Literacy Foundation) where students and teachers view "Words Have Power" as part of their citizen-science program and use AirBeam air quality monitors to check air pollution in their own neighborhood, making the links between contaminants, environmental policy and environmental health. They then work in teams to synthesize their findings and recommendations, and share these with their community.

YVFP also supports these state and federal initiatives:

New York State Senator Todd Kaminsky has introduced Senate Bill S6837that establishes a climate change education grant program. In 2016, thanks to a campaign by ACE and Global Kids, the NYC Council passed Resolution 0375-2014calling on the New York State Department of Education to include climate change lessons in the State's K-12 curriculum.
Spurred by youth climate strikers, California Congresswoman, Barbara Lee, introduced a House resolution - H.Res 574 - in September 2019, supporting the teaching of climate change in U.S. schools.

And last but not least, here are a few links showing the relationship between Air Pollution & Corona Virus

Wired: Pandemic has led to huge drop in air pollution
Time: Global Air Pollution down due to corona virus
NYT: Air Pollution linked to higher corona deaths
Fast Company reports similarly in this April 2020 article by Adele Peters: "The Most Polluted Parts of the US Are More At Risk for Coronavirus Deaths."
In an April 2020 Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Study, "Exposure to air pollution and COVID-19 mortality in the United States", researchers found:"…that an increase of only 1 g/m3 in PM2.5 [fine particulate matter] is associated with a 15% increase in the COVID-19 death rate, 95% confidence interval (CI) (5%, 25%). Results are statistically significant and robust to secondary and sensitivity analyses."

For the Full Mystic Mamma report you can jump over here! And Divine Harmony! And Theresa's New Moon Meditation tonight via Zoom!

Today’s show was engineered by Ida Hakkila of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

We heard music from our fave, Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/ and "East Side West Side" the third single from The Mammals soon to be released album Nonet.

#115 "Thriving and Surviving During a Quarantine" with Ana Gioia, Romany Rose Pope, Andréa Staskowska, Jennifer Dignon and Yukari Ogawa

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 21:03:33 +0000

Heya friends! Today I am joined by ALL of the ladies I co-create with over at Anahata. Allow me to introduce:

Ana Gioia, has been a practicing yogini since 2005. She studied traditional Hatha Yoga for 7 years before encountering and eventually training in Kundalini. Some of her specialties include Children’s Yoga, Pre & Post-Natal Yoga and Mommy & Me. Ana feels very drawn to serving Women, Families and Children as she feels there is so much healing to be done among these groups and the way society views family roles. She is the mother of two children and enjoys writing, philosophy, design and connecting with the Earth. Ana has a B.A. in Philosophy from Boston College and an M.A. in Eastern Classics from St. John’s College (Santa Fe). She teaches Saturdays at 10am Eastern with Anahata via IG Live. You can connect with her on Instagram @anagioiayoga

Romany Rose Pope, an ocean-born Aussie, is a kundalini yoga and meditation teacher, herbalist, reiki practitioner and cacao ceremonialist. She creates the most delicious @medicinaldesserts and is also one half of the loving duo @couplescacao serving up Cacao to couples and others as a way of connecting more intimately with their heart space. She teaches on Tuesdays at 6:30 Eastern with Anahata via Zoom. Connect with her on Instagram @romanyrose where she shares her adventures with plant alchemy, food medicine and the daily practice of love!

Andréa Staskowska, is a former professor of communication and cultural studies turned yoga, meditation teacher, energy worker and astrologer who's been offering uplifting and prosperity initiating yogic and meditative practices with Anahata daily at 8:00am Eastern on Facebook Live and also at 7am on Thursdays.

Jennifer Dignon, has dedicated her life’s work to the children of this planet, and to the adults that are blessed to serve them. She is the founder of Heart Child Yoga and Conscious Support Therapy (CST). As a Yoga for the Special Child Practitioner and Radiant Child trained professional, Jennifer has studied with children’s yoga Gurus Sonia Sumnar (Integral Yoga) and Shakta Kaur Kalsa (Kundalini Yoga). She's also a sound healer working with both singing bowls and tuning forks and has been offering her gifts via Facebook Live with Anahata on Wednesdays at 5:30pm Eastern and also at varying other times via her personal page. Jennifer was a guest on the show in early 2019 for Episode #51.

Yukari Ogawa, a vet tech who traveled to the US despite only speaking enough English to introduce herself in order to attend a school that would allow her to pursue her passion, working with animals. After observing how her colleagues suffered from compassion fatigue and how the industry overall didn't take care of the people working in it, she began a business to help those in her industry. She found “The Work” of Byron Katie to be a profound tool in helping her with her own stressful thoughts that she’s now begun facilitating the Katie Worksheets for others. Yukari is leading online classes with Anahata on Monday's at 10am eastern via Zoom. You can also request to join her Facebook Group to discuss "The Work." Yukari was on the show last summer, Episode #73 if you want to have a listen!

They share about how quarantine has impacted their lives, appreciating the disruption to routines that weren't supporting their needs, what they are learning about themselves during this experience, learning to settle into the art of not "producing," eating well to support health, honoring the sacred, the divine feminine and masculine, what they miss most (hint, HUGS), how they take care of themselves and what they are envisioning for the future.

All of their offerings are online and by donation, so please if you want to connect, do so! Or if you want to do nothing, we fully support that too :)

Finally here's the information for the Ulster Immigrant Defense Network and the COVID-19 Volunteer Response Team Interest.

#114 Rebecca Horner and Karen Pardini "Marbletown First Aid Unit"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Thu, 9 Apr 2020 00:28:09 +0000

I'm BACK for a full episode! Speaking today with Rebecca Horner and Karen Pardini of the Marbletown First Aid Unit. Rebecca is a retired IBM software engineer, MFAU's Board Chair and an EMS Volunteer. Karen is the Chief who on the side raises and deploys search and rescue dogs. Important fact, in 1961 Harriet Weber founded Marbletown First Aid, the first ambulance squad in Ulster County. Sixty years ago there was no 911, nobody trained in emergency medical care and ready to respond, no specially designed vehicles fully stocked with medical and rescue equipment; folks were largely on their own. With incredible grit and determination, Harriet Weber organized funding, a training program, an ambulance and volunteers. She put her intellect and love for community to work to create something that has saved countless lives. Today she is considered the mother of emergency medical service in all of New York State.

These ladies explain the nature of this type of work, how they got into it - Rebecca looking for ways to volunteer and Karen coming at it from a Midwife's perspective of wanting to better serve her clients - the challenges of continuing these vital services that are severely underfunded, and how COVID19 is affecting how they do their work. We get to peek a little into the personal side of who they are and how they take care of themselves too. I have tremendous respect for all EMS workers. Thank you for your service Ladies!

Midway through I sink into a deep thought about finding gratitude amidst the pain with a little help from Alanis Morrisette's song "Thank U." Here's the quote I shared on air about the song. In her VH1 Storytellers appearance, she explained: "I felt that I lived in a culture that told me that I had to consistently and constantly look outside myself to feel this elusive bliss. And I achieved a lot of what society had told me to achieve and I still didn't feel peaceful. I started questioning everything, and I realized that actually everything was an illusion and it was scary for me because everything I had believed in was dissolving in front of me and there was a death of sorts, a really beautiful one ultimately, but at first a very scary one, and so I stopped. I stopped for the first time and I was overcome with a huge sense of compassion for myself first, and then naturally that translated into my feeling and compassion for everyone around me and a huge amount of gratitude that I had never felt before to this extent. And that's why I had to write this song, 'Thank U,' because I had to express how exciting this was and how scary it was and all of these opportunities for us to define who we are."

And we finish up with with Erika Wennerstrom's message to "Be Good To Yourself."

Today’s show was engineered by Ida Hakkila of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

#113 Leach Gooch "Four Minutes a Day"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 1 Apr 2020 22:42:21 +0000

Yay! Brainy Fox is back! Our theme music by Shana Falana rides again!!! Ida and I check in, get deep about fear and thriving and then I play an interview with Leah Gooch of Four Minutes a Day who offers Reiki, Yoga, and Meditation. Leah shares some of her journey to and through Reiki and how she does remote distant Reiki services. I attempt to analogize this phenomenon with Quantum Physics. If anyone out there really understands Quantum Physics/Mechanics, please come and be a guest on my show! Leah, otherwise known as Gooch, also shares her work in jails and prisons and talks a bit about her experience there and the profound shifts she's seen in her students from experiencing yoga and meditation with one another. She's been offering a daily 4 minute meditation, sent via email, to everyone on her mailing list and expects to continue throughout the physical distancing period we are going through. She has a few remaining free remote Reiki sessions available and thereafter offers her work on a sliding scale. She's awesome and wonderful, and I am grateful for her work here on this planet. Gooch's words of advice for what we're going through right now..."call your Mother, be kind to others and to yourself." Yes, yes, yes.

#112 Dahlia Jarrett "Art Therapist"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Thu, 26 Mar 2020 22:55:06 +0000

Still quarantined from Radio Kingston with Ida Hakkila holding down the fort with some jams, but we sneak in an interview I did with Art Therapist and community builder, Dahlia Jarrett. She shares about her first memory of art, going to art school and her path to becoming an Art Therapist. She also helps explain the differences between being an art teacher and an art therapist and the therapeutic allianced relationship that is so vital in art therapy. She shares her love of raising two boys and gushes over them. She's helping her oldest son Drew who's been nominated as one of the selected students of the year in the US who is part of a fundraising competition for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. If you'd like to help out Drew and the Society you can make a donation here.

Ida also plays a brand new song by Olivier and Clare Manchon's "new" band Ici et Là (formerly of Clare and the Reasons), called "Toute Ma Vie" which you can find on Bandcamp and purchase here. For the next month, they will be donating 50% of the proceeds to People's Place in Kingston.

Please follow our social feeds and shout out the others in your community doing good in this big time of need! Much love to everyone!!!

#108 Jessica Meyer from "the idea garden" + Freedomwalker "The Source of Self-Regard"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Thu, 20 Feb 2020 03:56:09 +0000

Today!!! I am joined by Jessica Meyer, a leadership consultant and executive coach who co-created The Idea Garden with her husband, Matt Taylor, a space for socially engaged art and community events. She is active in the community, a member of Women's History Month Kingston the steering committee and the mom of Maggie, a certified therapy dog who is battling cancer. Today we learn more about Jess, her work, the current exhibit at the idea garden and some of the happendings of Women's History Month! She shares how they came up with the name for the idea garden inspired by John Boswell's, Mr. Roger's remix, one of her favorite exhibits, The Grace Project, featuring the works of Charise Isis, and what she's learned along the way of starting a new business: accepting support along the way, looking for resources in the community, being open to new information and learning, having patience, and looking for opportunities for collaboration opportunities. I found it fascinating hearing about her work in leadership consulting and executive coaching including her own process around getting clear on her own values and priorities via the assistance of Strategy Professor Paul Ingram.

She shares about her involvement with Women's History Month Kingston (WHMK), established in March 2019 as a community collaboration, where different organizers hosted a series of events to highlight women’s history through a diversity of perspectives. Now with a steering committee comprised of volunteers from Kingston businesses and arts and cultural organizations, the current schedule is up and growing. You can follow their Facebook page for the most up to date info on the events.

Here are some of the upcoming events at the idea garden; April: HV Seed Company, the Art of Seed, May: Breaking Free from Trauma featuring works by Rita Bolla, Benny Benard, and Kat Howard, and June: Kids Collaboration, Senior Thesis show from Kingston HS and Middle School.

Halfway through the show we are joined by returning guest, FreedomWalker, a certified creative art therapist, accredited practitioner of the healing arts, fine artist, writer and co-host of The Black Meta on Radio Kingston ⚡️ She co-hosts the current exhibit at “The Source of Self Regard,” a multi-disciplinary arts exhibition. Named after a collection of essays, speeches, and meditations by the late Toni Morrison, the show’s intention is to hold space for and highlight the voices of women, femme, and nonbinary people of color. The show will feature both visual and performing artists and will run for 2 months at the idea garden in Kingston NY to coincide with both Black History Month Kingston and Women’s History Month Kingston.

Artists exhibiting include: AJ Aremu, Sadee Brathwaite, Dorothy Brodhead, Cassandra D. Clarke, K.C. Clarke, Nile ‘River’ Clarke, Andie Clarkson, Freedom Walker, Courtney Haeick, IONE, Dahlia Jarrett, Naira Luke-Aleman, Mumba, Yvonne Rojas-Cowan, Toni Thomas, and Cynthia Timms . The exhibit will be open the following dates in March, 3.7 4-7pm, 3.14 4-7pm and Closing Celebration 3.21 4-7pm stay tuned for the Closing details.

Freedomwalker shares a passage from Toni Morrison's "A Source of Self-Regard" about the struggling artist and not enfranchising the struggling artist imagery. She talks about the importance of her art, how she works through the challenges of financially supporting her art and her work by diversifying all she does, how she doesn't hold on to past things, connecting with her heart, and healing the ancestral line through her artwork.

Her last exhibit at the idea garden was titled, "Last Night for Dinner."

And yes, we get in some sharing about Self Care!

#107 "Circle Creative Collective" with Mary Jane Nusbaum, Mirabai Trent and Jenny Wonderling

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 12 Feb 2020 21:55:39 +0000

Today I sit down with three of the members of Circle Creative Collective, an organization which hosts events, gathering in Circle to share and remember the things we learned or wish we had from our grandparents, a bridge from past to present and culture to culture, an open circle to all... bringing together the creative and curious across cultural borders in our Hudson Valley communities and beyond... inviting diverse individuals to share and preserve traditional crafts, arts, and skills... empowering people, inspiring connection to Earth and resilience.

Our conversation appropriately weaves through so many beautiful and important topics: the how and why they formed this vital Circle, their big Sankofa event happening this Saturday (2.15.20) at the Clinton Avenue United Methodist Church, 122 Clinton Avenue in Kingston, NY (in collaboration with MyKingstonKids.com), the traditions of Gullah Geechee women, returning to stillness and connecting with others through crafts and circles, who and what we value, collaboration vs. competition, culture of acceptance vs. culture of approval, lessons learned, ritual and self care.

Big THANKS to my guests:

MARY JANE NUSBAUM

Mary Jane is a natural teacher, mentor and inspiration. Grounded and deeply compassionate, gentle and dedicated, Mary Jane brings an artistic eye, a true passion for natural and artisanal processes, and many decades of experience as a teacher, gifted artist and craftsperson. Mj holds space with a rare calm, an open heart, and powerful communication skills. She helps to create an inclusive and curious class environment where her love for traditional knowledge, world cultures, the environment, and social justice are woven quietly into every stitch, and lesson. Mary Jane has lived in the Hudson Valley with her husband and two sons for the past 18 years. She has a Master’s in Printmaking from SUNY New Paltz and teaches art at New Paltz Middle School. Mj runs summer and year-round art programs with Wild Earth, a wilderness immersion program in High Falls. To Mary Jane, some of the most beautiful things about this world are the arts and cultures which have sprung from humanity’s relationship to nature in the particular places we each call “Home”.

MIRABAI TRENT

Raised in the Hudson Valley, Mirabai grew up with a deep connection to the Earth and plants that surrounded her. Majoring in fashion design, she fell in love with the realm of textiles and the unique qualities of each countries’ techniques, skills, and heritage. Mirabai, passionate about the healing power of the arts, did an intensive program at Esalen Institute learning about the patterns we have adopted, and how creative expression might shift those patterns. With a commitment to learning and preserving cultural crafts, she was led to explore Guatemala, where ancient arts and traditions are abundant. Setting off to dive deep into the ancient Maya practices, she cultivated relationships with various community leaders, who have the mission of preserving their ancient culture as well. She volunteered with a weaving association owned and run completely by local Tz’utujil Mayan women and endeavored to learn the complex traditions of weaving, natural dyeing, embroidery, and beadwork. In addition to Chrysalis, a program for teens to help engage her peers in open conversation and expression, she also started the traditional crafts department at HATCH Workshop, a center for emerging makers in Stockton CA.

JENNY WONDERLING

Jenny gathers and shares stories, and helps to enrich other people’s—and since 2005 she has done that through the vehicle of retail. A child of multi-cultural roots and a globally minded family, her wanderlust carried her to many places, deepening her caring for our planet and world community. Jenny feels that within each object is a trail of potent human interactions, and that we each have a responsibility to consider our impact every step of the way-- from sourcing to how an item will impact the earth long after the impulse-buy has occurred. Nectar focused on sourcing and selling handmade, sustainable products, supporting Fair Trade programs, women's cooperatives, and environmental initiatives. A new dream has blossomed though, quietly holding the seeds of her shops within the soil and blooms... There is a widespread longing to share authentically, something she felt she was only touching on by showcasing and selling goods. What if people could connect through making, creating, growing, and healing together? Jenny is excited to bring her love of design, experience with merchandising, marketing, event planning, and sales to Circle. Her passion for writing and story will bud through journal writing classes, and the gathering of stories for blogs and video on this site. Lastly, (but not at all least) her experience as a mother of three helps her understand the longing and importance to live and create in a thriving community—for the balance and health of the whole family… and world.

#106 Comedians Jessieca McNabb and Perla Ayora

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Thu, 6 Feb 2020 00:52:12 +0000

I managed to keep things relatively sane with these two comedians in the house today. Perla Ayora, Tech Coordinator at Radio Kingston and Stand Up Comedian talks about her roots in the Yucatan, Mayan culture, leaving for the States, the discrimination she faced and how she came to try stand up comedy about a year ago. Jessieca McNabb started performing stand up in the early ’90s and hasn’t stopped making people laugh since. Aside from splitting sides each week as co-host on No One Like You, she is a regular emcee of various comedy events all over the Hudson Valley. She’s been involved in community activism with Harambee Kingston and now co-hosts Harambee Radio, a weekly show on RadioKingston.

We get into a little of the personal and a little of the professional. Uncovering a bit of their process, why comedy is important to them, a transformational life experience each of them had, Black History month, empathy, building connections, breaking down walls, what they do to take care of themselves and lots more. I started this show thinking that doing stand up would be frightening, and I haven't changed my mind. The fascinating thing is that they both feel the same way. They experience that fear before each of their shows yet they still get out there and do it. I am seriously impressed. Brava ladies!

You can catch them next on February 14th at the Valentine's Day Love and Laugh Get Down. Lots is happening for Black History Month here in Kingston like Sip and Paint this Sunday, February 9th and Nubian Cafe on Wednesday, February 12th hosted by Radio Kingston's SB. I'll say it again here folks, Black History is everyone's History so it's a great time to think about what that means for you and how you celebrate your neighbors year-round. If you want to get involved or support Harambee, you can learn more here.

Today's guest is such a beautiful human, ok yes, we all are! Tanya Zabinski is an artist, writer, and peaceful activist who recently published, "Peace, Love, Action! Everyday Acts of Goodness."

How she met Mike and Ruthy of the Mammals and founders of The Hoot, the process of making the book, getting an agent, trying to get published for over 30 years, gratitude, combining an issue you love with something you care about, how she was raised, choosing art, raising children, following your heart, working with her husband on her business Planet Love, why making art is important, and self care.

#104 Joanne Leffeld, the Moolah Doula on "Healing Our Relationship with Money"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Thu, 23 Jan 2020 00:17:35 +0000

Welcome to Season 3!!!

Today, my guest is Joanne Leffeld, more famously known as the “Moolah Doula.” She’s worn many roles in her life including certified financial planner, mom, yoga teacher, artist, hospice volunteer, business partner in a lighting design company and more recently an end of life doula. She’s had her share of ups and downs but believes there’s always an opportunity to birth a new life, and she helps people do that through the lens of understanding their relationship to money. She can relate to the full range of emotions the discussion of money provokes and helps people overcome their fear of birthing their new financial life. And that’s why she’s the @moolahdoula

Today, we got into A LOT! The importance of your first memory of money, learning what you value, learning how to value yourself, navigating the money talk with a partner, the importance of communication, honesty, how to work with your inner child, the fear of not having enough money, yoga and listening to your inner wisdom. Joanne's work feels like a gift to me, both on a personal level, but also in how it is the seed of potential in healing the problems that money causes in our world. Thank you for your work Joanne!

#103 "Who We Are" with Musician Shana Falana

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Thu, 16 Jan 2020 00:29:10 +0000

Yay, today Shana Falana returns as a guest on the show to get us caught up on all that's been happening in her world since she stepped away from the show last year, hint a new album, tour and upcoming shows at SXSW! If you haven't already picked up her new album, "Darkest Light," you can grab it here.

As we do, Shana and I go deep, discussing consciousness, the stories we tell ourselves, her work to see her own stories, how the world is perfect, cool kids, her sobriety, 12-step and giving it up to a higher power (small-g-o-d), Ram Dass and the blessings of his life, envy, self-pity, how she made her most recent album and the reasons for writing some of the songs we listened to, playing SXSW and how she's taking care of herself through herbs from Good Fight Herb Co. and Dana's Golden Hour Botanicals.

Oh, and we laugh a lot!

We heard music from Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/ specifically "Cool Kids," "Everyone Is Gonna Be Okay," "Who We Are," and "Go."

#102 "Birthing Your Creations" with Julia Indichova of Fertile Heart and Fertile Hearted Human

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 8 Jan 2020 21:30:06 +0000

Today's show is dedicated to birthing... all things really, but we're hyper-focused on birthing babies. My guest today, Julia Indichova, is the author of Inconceivable and The Fertile Female. Her work has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Discovery Health, NPR’s 51%, Good Morning America, Tablet Magazine, Huffington Post and more. After 9/11 she initiated the 9/11 Bowing Project documented in her most recent book, One-Heart Revolution: The Perils of Positive Thinking on the Road to Peace. She is the founder of FertileHeart.com and FertileHeartedHuman.org.

She shares the highlights of her own birthing story, how she was diagnosed with high FSH and told by the fertility doctors she had no chance of conceiving naturally. Because she wasn't ready to give up she pursued things on her own, eventually conceiving her child and along with it, a methodology to help others birth their own children. This show is full of useful information whether you are trying to birth a child or some special project in your life. Check your energy levels, do you feel alive? Listen to your own truth, not the consciousness that's projected upon us. Pay attention to your orphans, you're gonna have to tune in to understand that one! Pay more attention to inspiration than information. Stop thrashing. These are just some of the nuggets that Julia teaches in her classes. She has a free talk tonight, January 8th at 8pm and a new workshop beginning on January 15th. For all of you looking to "Birth Your Next Creation and Repair the Earth," the work following her recent book One-Heart Revolution... stay tuned to her website and Instagram account.

#101 Happy 2020! Be Good To Yourself!

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Thu, 2 Jan 2020 16:10:46 +0000

Happy New Year, and Happy Birthday MOM! I pay homage to my Mom and my Grandma before digging into the crates so to speak to spin many of my favorite Erika Wennerstrom and Heartless Bastards songs. Sorry to all you podcast listeners, you won't get the music here, you'll have to check out the show archive in its entirety on Radio Kingston, or catch the Spotify playlist for the show. "Be Good to Yourself" comes from Erika's solo album, Sweet Unknown.

In my birthday wishes to my Mom, I thank my Grandma who we lost on 12.3.19. At 91, she had overcome some big challenges in life, getting through the great depression and having to share a single pair of roller skates with her 6 siblings! I know, tragic. She was a bit of a strong willed woman, running away from home and skipping school, ending up in a girls school, graduated at 13 years old and went to work. Pregnant with my Mom at 18, she got herself out of an abusive relationship and went on to have two more children and a life full of lots of animal print outfits and furniture, colored contact lenses, fake fingernails, homemade jewelry, 9 grandkids, 12 great-grandkids and an always full freezer of homemade pudding pops. Thanks for all your strength grandma and all the memories!

I also share some thoughts about the calendar, how Jan. 1 is a bit arbitrarily the start of the year- at one point in history the beginning of the year was March 25th, "Lady Day" - how these systems which we exist within are deserving of a rethink, or at least an acknowledgement that they were often put into place by a power driven patriarchy so that we can reverse/undo the damage they've caused. This year, I'd love to move the conversation into how we feminize our systems. Yes, there's still more work to be done with awakening and celebrating the feminine in human form, but let's include in the conversation how we feminize the government, religion, economy, calendar, corporate structures, etc. etc. It's not just about putting women in there. We need to be putting the correct type of feminine energy into the systems. Who wants to join in this conversation???

Today’s show was engineered by me at Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

In addition to Erika Wennerstrom and the Heartless Bastards, we heard music from our fave, Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/

My first guest, Natasha Althouse @musicbynatasha, is a musician, vocalist, wife, mom and holistic bodyworker whose healing practice focuses on postural imbalances, stress induced tension, injury care, and digestive and reproductive health. I met Natasha a few years ago for Mayan Abdominal Massage work and was blown away by the profound nature of what she does, blending massage, sound and energy work together in a very powerful way. We get to chat about life, how and why she makes music, the unique nature of Mayan Abdominal Massage, her connection to Ixchel and so much more. She's in the studio NOW working on an album which she expects to be birthed into the world sometime in 2020. She even gifts us with a little song during the interview. I cry...again.

Today's second guest is the multi-dimensional Stephanie Diamond, Artist, Entrepreneur and Community-Builder. She founded Listings Project -- listings and other opportunities geared towards artists and creatives -- 17 years ago and talks about how it has transformed over the years into a legit community building business! She also facilitates 5-Rhythms and explains how the nature of the experience of dancing 5-Rhythms so closely mirrors the reality of life. Before doing any of those things, Stephanie was and always has been an artist, creating, largely around community. Her Art has been exhibited at MoMA, MASS MoCA, MoMA/P.S. 1, Studio Museum in Harlem, Queens Museum of Art, Bronx Museum of the Arts, Project Row Houses, Philadelphia Mural Arts, SculptureCenter, The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum and the Contemporary Art Center in Vilnius, Lithuania, to name a few. We talk about all this, plus the fact that she does not have a smart phone! I want what she doesn't have!!!

Today’s show was engineered by Manuel Blas at Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

We heard music from our fave, Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/

#99 "Eating and Speaking from the Heart" with Nutritionist Gabriela Friedman and NVC Facilitator Lyndsey Harrington

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Thu, 12 Dec 2019 02:03:44 +0000

My first guest today is Gabriela Friedman. Originally from Brazil, @gabriela_friedman has taken some pretty bold steps in her life to bring her to where she is today, a Mom, a personal trainer, and a nutritionist based in the Hudson Valley. From her own journey Gabriela discovered how a lifestyle built around healthy living and physical fitness could empower, build confidence and discipline, and add overall happiness to one’s life. Her ultimate goal is to support and motivate her clients to develop habits to live a healthy lifestyle through proper nutrition and exercise.

She shares about her childhood and how she came to the US in a rather unplanned way, about starting a formal path in nutrition following up on the seed that was planted by her mother early on and how she works to educate her children about how to eat to support good health. Gabriela's philosophy is largely moderation. It's not about restricting, but rather eating with color (not food coloring!) and vibrancy. Being active and healthy is part of Gabriela’s everyday life. My favorite advice from her is "it's not about what you eat between Thanksgiving and New Year's that matters, it's what you eat from New Year's to Thanksgiving!"

Here are the two food and eating resources I mentioned, but there are so many more! A fascinating approach to mindful eating Ram Dass, Jack Kornfield and Joseph Goldstein and Christy Harrison, Food Psych podcast.

Today's second guest is Lyndsey Harrington. Hailing from Santa Barbara by way of Melbourne, Australia, Lyndsey has been dedicated to Nonviolent Communication since she first encountered it in 2012. Growing up with a deep love for meditation and alternative healing, she found herself yearning for a practice that could bridge the sense of loving unity she felt with the world during her meditations and maintaining that sense of connection in her everyday human life. For her, Nonviolent Communication is that bridge.

She shares how in 2012, while living in Brooklyn, Lyndsey encountered Marshall Rosenberg’s book “Nonviolent Communication” at the request of a co-living space and all who occupied it together. She was so impressed with how she observed her flat mates communicating and relating to one another that she dove in deeper. In 2015, she began studying with the New York Center for Nonviolent Communication and then, in 2017, joined their team as a workshop facilitator/trainer. She has facilitated several NYCNVC intensives, supported the organization as a course coordinator, and has led and co-led NVC practice groups in Brooklyn and the Hudson Valley where she now resides.

Lyndsey shares a bit about NVC walking us through some of the main concepts about using feelings language, slowing down, taking time to have a conversation with curiosity, rather than a confrontation, all which leads to more harmony and a meeting of everyone's needs. It's largely a practice in rewiring the brain from habitual responses and re-educating how we're trained about our own needs and the needs of others. We all really want the same things so remember that when you're sitting at the dinner table with your beloved family members. There's so much practical information in our conversation, so tune in for some tips on how to move through a situation that may be triggering using principals of NVC. Hint, "strike while the iron is cool."

#98 "Artists and Activists" Helene Richman + Judith "Zelda" Miller

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Thu, 5 Dec 2019 01:50:07 +0000

My first guest today is Helene Richman, a mom, wife, artist and creative force behind @brandhelene (Twitter, Facebook) who’s been working with a group of girl entrepreneurs, the Start Up Squad, at the Hodge Center in Kingston, NY. She's been helping them learn about and build a business. I got to hang out with the girls a few weeks ago and talk about how to create their own radio show. After some prep and a little training, they all got to interview one another. I play some snippets of their interviews during today's show as well as talk about what the girls have done in the program. After meeting with several entrepreneurs in the area the girls settled in on t-shirts for their business which they will debut at @madeinkingstonny this Thursday! Helene also shares about her corporate business experience and how she's transferring that in to more service oriented roles. This year she organized the Hudson Valley Design Collective, (Facebook) focusing on upcycling used tectiles in an effort to help shift the waste in the clothing business. The Collective will also be at Made in Kingston along with Helene's other endeavor with BlocArt, selling upcycled wood made by living wage workers in South Africa. No wonder this lady has another cold!

Next up is Zelda aka Judith Z. Miller @artistsoulspeaks an artist, actor, aspiring shaman and healer who's talking about her work-in-progress solo show, Que Será, Será: A Life’s Journey of Sexual Orientation & Gender Expression. This multi-media show chronicles the joys and challenges of navigating non-binary Queerness from childhood in the 1950’s to adulthood. Zelda will be performing a work-in-progress production of the show on December 7 @ 8:30 pm & December 8 @ 3 pm at the @lgbtqcenter here in Kingston. Zelda shares about how she got into theater, some of the more powerful experiences she's had like performing pieces in a women's prison in Virginia, or a short piece that helped her heal her younger self who was forced to wear dresses against her wishes. Zelda is a gifted, open-hearted, magical and mystical being who has stories to share that are guaranteed to make you laugh, cry and most definitely think! If you can't get to her live performance, Radio Kingston will be live streaming the Sunday show from their Facebook page which you can view any time ->->-> Check it out!!!

#97 "Keeping it Local" with Designer Sylvia Grieser, Jewelry Maker Rebecca Peacock, Artist Susie Ximenez & Cider Maker Kimberly Kae

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Fri, 29 Nov 2019 19:47:03 +0000

Keeping it LOCAL! Look around you, support your friends and neighbors, buy local when you are able to! Joining me today live from Anderst on North Front Street, in Kingston, NY are a group of local ladies making things and doing things in the Hudson Valley. I did my best to edit out some of the technical hiccups we experienced with our remote broadcast so conversation does jump around a bit. Thanks ladies for joining in our talk!

Sylvia Grieser is an internationally renowned fashion stylist, costume designer and consultant for celebrities, films and design houses. After graduating with a Masters Degree in Fashion and Fine Art in Germany, she was invited to work for German Vogue,which led her to New York and a future in the Fashion and Advertising world. Celebrities like Diana Krall, Patti LuPone and Audra McDonald often consult her to style their appearances on prominent Award Shows or Album Covers. She has contributed to magazines like GQ, Details, Surface, VOGUE Goielli and VOGUE Pelle as well as MEN’S HEALTH, to name a few. On top of all that, she has created ANDERST @anderstny her boutique clothing line and store front located at 54 North Front Street in Kingston, NY,

Rebeccas Peacock @rebecca_peacock is a fine jewelry maker based in the Catskill Mountains of upstate NY. According to the lore, she was raised by wolves in the woods of the Catskill Mountains only to be tamed by ten years in the California salt air. She is now back in the Hudson Valley, crafting her gorgeous pieces, renovating a 19th century farmhouse, and womaning her store front in Uptown Kingston, NY. Rebecca tells us a bit about the process of making jewelry, about why keeping the local community in mind when designing and selling is important as well as where she gets her inspiration from.

Kimberly Kae from Metal House Cider stopped by to talk about the process of making cider from tree to label and how pruning is her favorite part of the process because she gets to spend time with the trees. They just announced that they will be donating $1 per bottle sold on all their 2017 vintages toward the Interpretive Center being build on the reclaimed African burial grounds in Kingston, NY. Thanks Metal House Cider!

Midway through Susie Ximenez from Latinx Project joined our conversation. Latinx seeks to promote Latinx art and culture in the Hudson Valley. They invest in creative work that highlights the complexity, nuance, and beauty of communities who are often rendered criminal or invisible. Art has the power to move audiences in ways that movement messaging can’t—through new narratives that relate to and transform their own experiences. Latinx is hosting it's second annual Mercadito on Nov. 30th from 10-3 at BSP Kingston. This is more than just a market, this is an effort to bring the POC community of Hudson Valley together and empower makers of color - to reclaim our crafts and empower our community to shop consciously.

Lucky for us, the wise and caring, Celina Pipman, LCSW, also stopped by to join in the conversation. We all got to talk about working collaboratively with other women, how community is important to us, what we get from community and what we need from community, in addition to how we are taking care of ourselves.

Today’s show was engineered by Nick Panken, host of Freedom Highway, and Maddy Bogner of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org. With special help from Perla Aroyo Darnell.

We heard music from our fave, Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/

#96 "Sit & Spin and Physiologus" with artists, Sophi Kravitz + Jicky Schnee

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 02:44:15 +0000

Sort of speechless about the body of work that these women have created. Enjoy!

Sophi Kravitz is an artist and electronic engineer who's always been fascinated with people, people she already knows and strangers alike. She believes that incorporating public art into a shared experience can be a strong conduit to the acceptance of the human next to you. She often collaborates as part of a larger collective as the construction of the work is highly technical, relying on the strength of both her background and love of bringing people together on collaborations. She believes in the simple magic of theatrical storytelling and works with classical sculpture, metal, code, and electronics to create beautiful playthings. Sophi shares her journey into making art and objects of play from her early childhood, to sculpture, electronic engineering, puppet making and most recently Hackaday, the company she now works for which serves up "Fresh Hacks Every Day" from around the Internet. Her previous collaborative art projects are inventive and impressive, and she shares how recently she's begun making them meaningful in a deeper way by considering visitors’ reaction to current events to create deeper thoughts about the human experience. Check out her website for the elaborate and inspiring list of art she co-created.

Jicky Schnee is a mother, artist, actor and model, who despite the many different forms that it takes, is seeking to depict and understand authenticity and purity through her art. Jicky shares about her mother really helped to move her forward in life and career by pushing her to NYC and to connect with a key photographer boosting her modeling career. Jicky lost her mother when she was just 25 so we speak a bit about the uniqueness of the mother/daughter relationship and how she healed from the deep grief of losing her mother. Jicky's interest in authenticity surfaces in many ways including our conversation about social media and the selfie phenomenon which seemingly places value on how people view us rather than how we value who and what we are. This aligns with Jicky's new-ish appreciation of Crone Culture vs. Youth Culture, and she's choosing to see and value the wisdom of those who've come before her over the priorities and actions of the youth which so often manifests in social media. We squeeze a lot into this hour including the physical and psychological challenges of acting, working with and admiring Joaquin Phoenix, studying psychology, raising daughters, and wanting to experience "the other side," see her "Physiologus" work for reference.

There's just not enough time in a two hour show I say! Hopefully these ladies will come back again. We have some unfinished conversation to be had.

#95 "Real Beauty" with Charise Isis, Photographer + Ellen Marshall, Oncology Support + Jeanie Edwards, Breast Cancer Survivor

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Thu, 14 Nov 2019 00:32:12 +0000

Hey listeners! Thanks for tuning in for today's special show. I wanted to share that for the first 9-10 minutes I talk about a healing event that's happening on Nov. 23rd at the idea garden in Kingston, NY. It's something I've organized as a result of the women on the show today and the work that they do. If you aren't local or interested, you can skip ahead. For those of you interested, on Nov. 23rd from 12:30-2 there will be a free workshop to learn how to give Reiki to yourself and then from 2-4 healers will be offering their services at no charge to those affected by cancer. Please check the event details for more information and if you would like to participate in the workshop portion of the day, please RSVP to love@anahatakingston.com

Ok so special bonus, around minute 9:50 you get to hear an exclusive new Lady Moon & the Eclipse single, "Le Petit Prince." The song hasn't been released yet, but go check the gorgeous video if you want to hear it again!

Around minute 15:45 I begin my conversation with these amazing women..

Ellen Marshall, MS., LCSW-R, OSW-C. Oncology Social Worker and Director of the Oncology Support Program of HealthAlliance Hospital/WMC Health. Ellen shares about how the program was started and what they offer the community, free of charge, such as an integrative support group, a group that talks about "what really matters" when diagnosed with metastatic cancer, weekly memoir writing, weekly creative arts groups, a women's breast cancer support group, younger women's breast cancer support group, ovarian cancer support group, caregiver support group, men's support group, and a myriad of wellness programs that are open to everyone. If you want to learn more about their offerings, you can call them at 845-339-2071, email oncology.support@hvhc.org or stop by at 80 Mary’s Avenue, Kingston, NY 12401.

Charise Isis is a photographer of women, photographing beauty beyond her wildest dreams. Her portraiture empowers women by allowing them to be vulnerable, present, and helping them to connect with their deeply sensual and powerful selves. Ten years ago she began The Grace Project. “Grace” is a series of portraits of women capturing the courage, beauty and grace of those who have had mastectomy surgery as a result of breast cancer. Her work allows each of her subjects a transformative experience, giving them permission to step into self acceptance and the opportunity to share the story of the scars that have been written on their body. The ultimate goal of the Grace project is to photograph 800 portraits, the approximate number of new breast cancer diagnosis in the U.S. every day. Thus far, Charise has photographed nearly 400 portraits towards this goal. The Grace Project exhibition “Broken is Still Beautiful” will be on display at the Idea Garden in Kingston, New York on weekends until Nov. 23 when they'll be celebrating with a closing party from 4-7pm.

Jeanne Edwards is a Code Enforcement Officer for the City of Kingston who happened upon Charise during a scheduled inspection. Their conversation turned to what Charise does which then opened Jeanne, a stage 4 breast cancer survivor, up to a portrait session with Charise, something she never imagined she would be capable of doing. After years of shame around what her body looked like after her mastectomy, Jeanne shares openly and bravely about what this experience has done to heal her. Jeanne is a true inspiration, seeking to find the beauty and gratitude in each day of her life. I personally feel extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to peek into her resilience and wisdom.

#94 G.T. Thomas and Catriona Sturton, One Woman Bands and Accountability Buddies

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Thu, 7 Nov 2019 02:24:59 +0000

So excited today that I got to welcome back G.T. Thomas (https://www.instagram.com/gtthomasmusicandart/) who was Shana's special guest on show No.30 from August 15th, 2018. Gwen is an Amsterdam-based simultstrumentalist (not sure if that's how you spell that fancy word) who's taken revelations from her journals and transformed them into catchy refrains for her latest Progressive Dream Pop album, "I Am a Highlighter Pen." She performs as a one-woman-band on vocals, bass, synth & drum machine simultaneously – all LIVE (no computer/ backing tracks/ loopers), proving that even having collaborated with Fleet Foxes, The Metropole Orchestra, Benny Sings, and members of The B-52s, Steely Dan, and Pedro the Lion, she's never lost her love of doing everything herself.

Catriona Sturton (https://www.instagram.com/catrionasturton/) is Canadian multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. She used to be in a band in the '90s called Plumtree (which had the hit "Scott Pilgrim" that inspired the graphic novel and movie by the same name). She’s toured with Italian harmonica wizards, played in a Hiroshima-based garage rock band, was a guest on The Price is Right, and has been to more places in remote Canada than most people ever get to. Nowadays, she's a totally unique, industrious harmonica playing/violinist/guitarist/singing one-woman-band, under her own name.

They met through a clutter-clearing course online, where they were partnered up by the head coach, to be accountability buddies for that process. Through that, they learned of each other's music, and when the course officially ended, they decided apply the tools they learned for "accountability buddy-ing" to their music careers! Now their on a mini tour together and stopped by to share a little about the juice in the journaling process that led to Gwen's latest album, how Catriona picked up the harmonica when she was young and hung around a lot of blues dudes to learn tricks of the reeds, how and why they committed to themselves and their heart's desires, and decluttering. They both played some tunes. We laughed. I cried. Wisdom was shared and lessons were learned by me, about the Book of Lift, "athletic greens," and a slew of podcasts that I should tune into. One of my fave quotes of the show, and there were many, "Being unified with your desires is one of the most noblest things you can do." G.T. Thomas. Now as Catriona might say, go and be somebody's "love bomb."

Gwen's album release is Nov. 7th at the Iron Horse in Northampton, MA, then they are both playing Nov. 12th at Pete's Candy Store in Brooklyn, Nov. 16th in Princeton, NJ at Princeton Record Exchange and Small World Coffee, and Nov. 17th at a house show in Harrisonburg, VA, yeah Virginia! You can find tour details here!

Today’s show was engineered by Maddy Bogner of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

We heard music from our fave, Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/ and from both of today's guests!

#92 "Circles and the Other C-Word" with Artist and Advisor Sadee Brathwaite + Artist and Activist Rakel Stammer

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 23 Oct 2019 20:01:24 +0000

Hey listeners!

Today's first guest is Sadee Brathwaite, an Artist and Minister/Priestess of Maåt. She makes drawings and paintings, figurative and abstract, about archetypes, symbols, ancient cosmologies, beliefs and myths. As an ordained Minister/Priestess, She advises people in life, in creativity, and in spirituality. Her calling, either through art or advising, is to help people heal and grow as spiritual, enlightened beings. We talk about how her art and her church were the things that brought her joy and comfort as a young person who moved from Barbados to the US at a young age, how her spirituality has evolved over the years, the sacred feminine and sacred symbolism that appear in her art, finding Ione and the Ministry of Maat, mysticism, and how it all comes together beautifully to complete the picture of her work and her life's purpose.

My second guest is Rakel Stammer, an artist who primarily works in painting and drawing, but also dabbles in sound, installation, collage, writing, photography, printmaking and performance. Her work has been published in several magazines, anthologies and journals across the world and she has exhibited in Denmark, Sweden and the U.S. She recently completed a residency at the Women’s Studio Workshop and will be exhibiting her series “The Cunt Drawings” completed during a residency at Deer Creek Collective in November at @sassafrasny in Kingston, NY. Rakel speaks publicly and writes about capitalism, art, trauma, dominance and violence, seen through an anti-capitalist, intersectional feminist lens...all things we talk about today on the show!

Today’s show was engineered by Maddy Bogner of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

#91 "On the Exhale" Actor, Maria Elena Maurin + Director, Ellen Honig

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 16 Oct 2019 20:01:52 +0000

Today I get to sit down with actor and director of a powerful play, On the Exhale. When a senseless act of violence changes her life forever, a liberal college professor finds herself inexplicably drawn to the very weapon used to perpetrate the crime – and to the irresistible feeling of power that comes from holding life and death in her hands. Peering down the barrel of a uniquely American crisis, she begins to suspect that when it comes to gun violence, we’re all part of the problem.

Maria Elena Maurin has been in the theater for 21 years and is currently working on a production of On the Exhale directed by Ellen Honig for the Rhinebeck Theater Society. She’s played other equally challenging roles depicting the female experience in some of her most difficult situations such as her performance in Still about birthing a stillborn child. She has trained at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, NYC and at the Sande Shurin Acting Studio, NYC and Woodstock. Her recent theater credits include: Arms and the Man, Still, Outside Mullingar and Brilliant Traces with the Performing Arts of Woodstock and A Turn of The Screw with Kaaterskill Actors Theater. When not acting, she’s working as a massage therapist and a child care provider.

Ellen Honig is a theater director with 35 years of directing experience beginning with The Town Players in New York. She continued directing for multiple companies in the Hudson Valley. For The Rhinebeck Theatre Society: 1776 The Musical, A Little Night Music,Equivocation, Assassins, Copenhagen, and Mary Poppins. With The Cocoon Theatre of Rhinebeck and now Poughkeepsie, most recently: My Simone and The Little Years. For Performing Arts of Woodstock, Outside Mullingar, Uncle Vanya, and Arms and the Man. In 1984 she moved with her family to the Hudson Valley and became involved in Community Theatre, first with The Pawling Theatre group and then with Rhinebeck. She currently lives in Kingston NY with her partner, Ken.

Here's a list of the opportunities you have to see this powerful and thought provoking play.

October 20th, 3pm at Green Kill Gallery

229 Greenkill Ave, Kingston, NY 12401

October 28th, 7pm at Cocoon Theatre

9 Vassar St, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601

November 2nd, 7pm at Morton Memorial Library

#90 "Love and Authenticity" with Artist, Lynn Herring and Creator, Jenny Mulak

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Wed, 9 Oct 2019 22:10:34 +0000

Today, my first guest is Artist, Lynn Herring, who was born in Chicago but moved to New York in her 20’s to pursue a career as an advertising art director and to develop her studio practice. While in NY, she studied at the School of Visual Arts graduating with honors in 2008 with a BFA in Sculpture. Lynn eventually found her way upstate and recently completed her MFA studies in sculpture and printmaking at SUNY New Paltz where she graduated with honors while developing a new body of work designed to bring people together with art. This body of work is a reengineered Tic Tac Toe game designed to “Make America Relate Again.” Created with organic crooked-shaped, brightly-colored wood Xs and Os and using a more complicated wonky-shaped game board, Herring’s game, XOX! Share the Love®, is an art object used to help many different kinds of people to connect for a playful and sane moment in this time of cultural and political toxicity. She's participating in this weekend's O+ Festival where you can play XOX! Share the Love Friday from 6-8pm, Saturday from 12-6pm and Sunday from 12-4pm at Gallery Fifty5, 55 Greenkill Avenue in Kingston, NY.

Lynn and I get to talk about how one goes about making a board game, how she balanced work and school and why she made the leap to follow her passion, downsize and keep making art. Much of her work is very female centric so she shares the inspiration for her work and how it was important for her to follow her art creation versus procreation. She even put a raw egg in her mouth to make her point for one past performance. She's focused on living life authentically and for that I am grateful for her example!

Today's second guest is Jenny Mulak who after much soul searching left her big corporate gig and moved to the Catskills to create Juniper Grove, a retreat space on her sacred land designed for healers, artists, lovers, musicians, writers, yogis, seekers and creatives of all kinds. Speaking of she also has her very own organic and vegan body product line "Jenifer Juniper" that she’s bringing to next weekend’s Hudson Valley Vegfest. We get to chat about how she finally made the big leap, the ups and down, really mostly ups, of building her dream retreat space, how and why she makes her Jenifer Juniper products and how and why she became a Vegan. Her online store will be coming soon so stay tuned, but meanwhile locals can check her out and also support past guest Rebecca Moore, founder of Vegfest next weekend, October 19th and 20th at BSP in Kingston, NY.

Come check me out at O+ this weekend performing with past guest, Aki Goto Saturday evening at 6pm at Litebrite Neon and then Sunday, co-facilitating a Healing Ring of Tantra with past guest Nidhi Adhiya-Huba. All this makes you want to move to the Hudson Valley, huh? Come on join us!

Until next week, love yourself and uplift one another!

#89 "Surrogacy & Souls" with Filmmaker Beth Aala and Musician Lady Moon

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (theresa) — Wed, 2 Oct 2019 23:35:24 +0000

You're gonna love the talent, conviction and compassion of my guests today.

First up is Beth Aala, a three-time Emmy award-winning producer & recipient of a Peabody Award for her documentary work at HBO. Beth co-directed & produced feature documentary, RANCHER, FARMER, FISHERMAN for Discovery, which premiered at Sundance in 2017. She also directed & produced, Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon (A&E IndieFilms) with comedian, Mike Myers. It won the Hollywood Film Award for Best Documentary & was nominated for the 2015 News & Documentary Emmy Awards.

Beth recently completed her latest feature documentary, Made in Boise about a surprising surrogacy industry in Boise, Idaho. It had its world premiere at AFI Docs Film Festival in June 2019 and is screening it at the upcoming Woodstock Film Festival on October 4th and 5th. You can purchase tickets here. Not in the Hudson Valley, not available this weekend? Made in Boise will have a broadcast premiere on PBS’ award winning Independent Lens on October 28th at 10pm eastern.

Amongst other things, I get to chat with Beth about her film career, working at MTV, what it was like working at HBO with so many talented women, how a close friend asked her to be her surrogate after years of trying to conceive and how that coupled with a friend working in Boise led her to the subject matter of this latest film. I urge you to watch this fascinating documentary about a subject that is well worth a longer conversation.

During the second half of the show I get to sit down with Lady Moon of Lady Moon & The Eclipse, a multicultural ensemble based in New York. Through soaring vocal textures and R&B/afrobeat-influenced rhythms, they create inspirational music that explore the cosmic soul; a journey to become one's best self. Lady Moon carries the essence of the Moon, delivering a message of love, peace, and light, while the musicians serve as the Sun shining light upon her. The audience represents the Earth, also known as the Star People of Earth, completing the metaphorical eclipse. With a marked emphasis on inclusivity and spiritual unity, Lady Moon & The Eclipse explore positive music through the live experience to grow and make a difference in themselves and in the world.

Lady Moon and I talk about how she became Lady Moon, her parents, how they shaped who she is, making music, relationship through her musical collaborations, the moon, the sun, the cosmic soul, and becoming free. She's a woman full of deep wisdom and sincere love. I can't wait to catch her and her "star-mates" at the upcoming O+ Festival on Friday, October 11th from 9-10pm in the back of BSP in Kingston, NY. And stay tuned for news on the release of a new single coming later in October!

Thanks for tuning in friends!

#87 "Connecting and Restoring" with Artist, Keiko Sono and Restorative Justice Coordinator, Claudia Abbott-Barish

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 18 Sep 2019 20:00:26 +0000

And finally, my interview with Keiko and Claudia! Making my way into Morocco, but thanks to my guests for coming into the studio a few weeks ago to record these amazing conversations for you all to hear.

Today's first interview is with Keiko Sono, an artist, turned permaculturist and universal basic income supporter. Keiko's work has "one fundamental goal: to connect us to the world—to other beings, the natural environment, or objects; in present, past or future; in absurdity, wit, or utter beauty." She uses visual media, video, and text to create events and projects that focus on connections. She and I get to speak about why she left art and how she fell back in love with it, the work that she’s currently doing to connect people to people and people to place, how permaculture principles now shape her life and something she's very passionate about, universal basic income. You can find all the details on her Catskill Waters Project including links to the Youtube channel and podcast here, https://catskillwaters.org/.

At the midpoint of today's show, you will hear my interview with Claudia Abbott-Barish, Restorative Justice Coordinator at the Dutchess County Meditation Center. I heard her speaking at a screening for the film Circle Up (thanks for the hot tip Rashida Tyler) and knew I needed to have her as a guest. Claudia has been a natural mediator since childhood and is a community organizer at heart. Her preoccupation with systemically unheard voices in society began while organizing around various issues of environmental, racial and political injustice. Her current focus is on social disciplinary practices and how to shift from punitive and isolating to restorative and collective. She believes in the power of people and the transformative impact of sharing stories and being heard. She is driven by a desire to help create effective alternatives to punishment and incarceration that focus on community healing and understanding, over policies that separate people from their families and support systems. She’s an inspiration to me and a gem of a human being who has immense wisdom to share.

What a gift these two women are. Thanks for listening!

#86 "Women Helping Women" with New Start for Women Program Director, Jordan Scruggs + Grief Coach, Claire Papell'

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Thu, 12 Sep 2019 07:01:34 +0000

Writing from Espańa and after a little schedule mixup on my part, sharing the proper episode for today's show. Don't worry, Keiko and Claudia are next week, I promise!!! I am so excited to be sharing these interviews that I recorded with these two fabulous women who embody a big theme of this show, Women Helping Women!

My first interview is with Jordan Scruggs, a past guest with an exciting new job at SUNY Ulster as director of the New Start for Women Program. Jordan shares all the details about this program which to me is a great example of how one community is working to help lift up women who so deserve it. Jordan shares the fears and excitement of a career change and the lessons she's already learning on her new job about the reality of what life can be like for these women. I can't wait to have the women in the program on the show to hear about their experiences and the sisterhood they are already forming!

Midway through today's show you'll hear my chat with Claire Papell, a Grief Coach for Women holding space for women to heal and recover from the loss of a loved one. I was introduced to Claire by friend Amy Short and was so impressed by the meaningfulness of her work that I wanted to have her on as a guest. Claire is an advanced certified yoga teacher and a continuing student of yogic philosophy and spiritual wisdom which she brings into her work. Claire shares about her own past trauma and how it has led her to the work she does in holding space in a world that is often trying to push and pull us into places we are not yet ready to go. Thank you Claire!

Brava ladies!

#85 "Doing Power Differently" Mid-Hudson Misfits Roller Derby + Sarah Urech, Omega

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 4 Sep 2019 21:01:51 +0000

Ooooh, what amazing ladies were on the show today!

First, I welcome three of the Mid-Hudson Misfits Roller Derby team, Farrell Brenner aka Eleanor Bruisevelt, Laura Palermo aka Madame Manatease, and Samantha Willenbucher, still perfecting her roller derby name. We talk about the nuts and bolts of roller derby, why they started skating, how to become a misfit, how it's changed their lives, and some pretty amazing roller derby metaphors for life in general plus a little about who they are when they're not skating. They have upcoming local bouts at Skate Time 209 on September 7th and October 5th and one in Troy on November 23rd. A portion of the proceeds supports local charities...plus you can join the skating party after the bout with special guest DJ's!

In the second half of today's show, I have the pleasure of speaking with Sarah Urech, Acting Director of the Omega Women's Leadership Center about their upcoming Women & Power Conference: Gathering Our Strength coming up at the end of this month, September 27-29th at the beautiful Omega campus in Rhinebeck, NY. This year the conference features speakers Elizabeth Lesser, Tarana Burke, Roxane Gay and many more. It's not too late to join or to tune in to the year-round happenings and online sessions from the OWLC. Sarah shares personally about how she got the the Hudson Valley via her performance work at the Hudson River Playback Theatre and how that led to her work at Omega. We also get to talk about how to #DoPowerDifferently and how Sarah's work in Playback Theater has helped her to become a better listener. Watch Sarah speak about the practice of listening as an important step in human evolution.

Plus self care thoughts and practices from all of today's quests! Until next week, love yourself and uplift one another!

#84 "Living Cooperatively" Evelyn Wright, Commonwealth HV and Julia Farr, Kingston Land Trust

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 28 Aug 2019 20:02:22 +0000

Today I have a special guest host, MY MOM! In town for my big nuptials happening this weekend. We're talking commons and cooperatives, economic democracy and sustainability with special guests Evelyn Wright founder of Commonwealth Hudson Valley and Julia Farr, Executive Director of the Kingston Land Trust. The website of Commonwealth HV perfectly sums up the importance of the work these women do, "Economic stagnation and the impending climate crisis have provoked a global flowering of interest and activity in developing innovative, community-driven ways to address income and wealth inequality, meet people’s needs, and build more stable, just communities. Communities are using a growing toolbox of strategies including cooperatives, community land trusts, non-extractive financing, and collaborative processes to create good, locally rooted jobs, democratize community wealth, and rebuild local commons. Cities and regions are supporting these efforts by creating support ecosystems, mobilizing anchor purchasing, and building grassroots incubators." Both of these ladies are spearheading this type of transformation in our community, and we hope it inspires you to be more cooperatively wherever you are.

Today I get to have a lively conversation with two friends about art and life and how the two intersect.

Sita Gomez de Kanelba is a distinguished Cuban American visual artist born in Paris 1932. She is daughter of the doctor Domingo Mauricio Gómez-Gimeranez and Else-Marie (Formo) Gómez. Her family fled the Nazi’s after Hitler’s request for her father to work for him. They were later exiled from Cuba and lived in New York. Sita received her Diploma in Art From Parsons School of Design in 1955. She has shown in exhibits and galleries all over the world, from the Cisneros Gallery in New York to the Museum of Modern art in Bogata, Columbia. She is a close friend and contemporary of the artist Carmen Herrera, and like Herrera is beginning to gain more recognition later in life. Sita continues to paint and show her work and now lives in Hudson, New York.

Susie DeFord studied poetry at Florida State University, and received her MFA from the New School University. Her work has appeared in BOMB, Poets and Artists, Mipoesias, Work Zine, Dog Fancy, Shampoo, the Anthology "Dogs Singing," amongst others. She has taught writing at Brooklyn Friends School, Berkeley Carroll, and the College of New Rochelle. Also a musician, in 2012 she started NEON GRLZ a collaborative musical experiment. Back in the day she played in the bands Terset and Wu Wei. She writes the blog Dog Poet Laureate. She teaches at The Kingston Writers Studio in Kingston, NY. Susie is a CPDT-KA dog trainer who lives in Catskill, NY where she runs Susie’s Pet Care, a dog boarding & training business. She is also a Licensed Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty in Kingston, NY.

The two fatefully met when Sita was looking to sell her home and Susie is in the business of selling them. They are now endeavoring to publically revive Sita's impressive art collection with her first showing in decades this October 12th and 13th as a part of Hudson, NY's open studios. Susie is also partnering with a local filmmaker to produce a documentary film on Sita's colorful art and life and is actively pursuing funding to complete this project.

Today’s show was engineered by Ben Benton of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

#82 "Living Well" Emily Flynn - City of Kingston + Annie Bond - HeartMind Healer School

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 14 Aug 2019 21:08:31 +0000

On today's show I get to speak with Emily Flynn, Director of Health and Wellness for the City of Kingston, Live Well Kingston, and President of Bike-Friendly Kingston, and Annie Bond, clairvoyant, healer, founder of the Divine Mother Center and HeartMind Healer School, toxic-free living expert and award winning author.

Emily and I get to talk about the projects she's involved with to make Kingston a healthy and vibrant community. She shares some of the details of Live Well Kingston and its many spokes, Eat Well, Play Well, Age Well. Travel Well and Heal Well. As a cycling advocate she gives us a glimpse into what it means to be "bike-friendly" and what she and others are doing to make the transition in Kingston. You can catch her at one of the weekly "Slow Rides" in Kingston or enjoying one of her favorite public spaces like the new green line.

Annie begins her story describing the sudden degradation of her physical and mental health after a one-two punch of exposure to toxic substances which she gratefully recognizes as what brought her to the work she now does. As an expert in toxic-free living, she shares a few nuggets of her vast knowledge, and recommends her book Better Basics for the Home as a good resource for living toxin-free. Her studies of energy and her own healing work led her to forming the HeartMind Healer Energy School where she teaches others how to heal themselves and others. You can book private sessions with Annie, sign up for her next school series or workshop, or you can activate your Life Channel - Pranic Tube with this meditation she practices daily.

#80 Lila Lolling - Yoga Philosophy Teacher, Author + Environmentalist

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Thu, 1 Aug 2019 01:01:21 +0000

Today I get to go deep with an amazing woman who's got a lot of story to share! Lila (lee-laa) Lolling is an experienced Hatha Yoga, meditation, and classical yoga philosophy teacher for nearly 20 years but that's just the beginning. At the age of 15 she had a sudden onset of epilepsy. Around the same time she began to form a deep connection to the deaf community through a serendipitous baby-sitting gig. Serving the deaf community seemed to be her calling until at the age of 28 she found yoga which turned out to be the medicine that would keep her seizures at bay. She eventually combined the two and is the founder and co-director of the ASL Yoga Collective, formerly DeafYoga Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to creating yoga opportunities in ASL (American Sign Language). In 2016, she published her first book "Walking the Ancient Path of Yoga," and in June 2018 she was invited to speak on the topic "Yoga for Peace" at the United Nations. Most recently, she graduated from Omega Institute's Ecological Literacy Immersion Program, a social and regenerative design course that further inspired her endeavor, EcoYoga Life which was envisioned in the Himalayas a year prior and birthed in the Hudson Valley where she currently resides.

Today, we talk about all of this, plus get some tips on what we can do to lead a more climate conscious lifestyle. We also get personal about the profound heart ache she experienced in 2017 following a very unexpected announcement from her then husband that he wanted a divorce. Utilizing the wisdom she's absorbed from her years studying and practicing yoga philosophy, Lila allowed herself to feel it all, the sadness, anger, and depression, in order to truly grow from the pain of the experience and in turn heal old wounds and trauma that she hadn't realized were still present in her consciousness. Today she gratefully walks through life with a deeper kind of presence and an open heart. Stay tuned to her website for how you can catch more of Lila's wisdom on yoga philosophy and EcoYoga Life or catch her teaching classes in the Hudson Valley and beyond!

Today’s show was engineered by Ben Benton of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

#79 Health Care is a Human Right and Aemen Bell on Devaxing

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 24 Jul 2019 22:03:52 +0000

Today I get to speak with 4 fine ladies from Health Care is a Human Right (HCHR), a 501(c)3 not for profit charitable corporation, founded in 2003 by Susan Weeks, Physician Assistant, Vicky O’Dougherty, Homeopath, Susan Bissonnett, RN, and Jill Elliot, DVM. Since its inception, Health Care is a Human Right has offered free clinics in the Mid-Hudson Valley of New York. NOTE: they are in the process of updating their website so if you come to a landing page with a red button saying "Learn More," click on that to be linked to the clinic info.

Joining the conversation is Susan Weeks, long time Physicians Assistant, Board President and co-founder of HCHR. Ida Rivera, Life Coach, Reiki Master and administrative assistant at HCHR, Jesse Scherer, Massage Therapist and volunteer coordinator at HCHR, and Wendy Wolosoff-Hayes, a practitioner of Spacious Heart Guidance, student of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, Matrix Energetics and several other energy healing modalities. We talk about why the organization was formed and how they all got involved with it, what they each do and why they do it. Plus we get to laugh a lot even though we're talking about some serious stuff...health care IS a human right.

All are welcome to their free clinics, but if you have the means, donations are greatly appreciated! For a list of their upcoming clinics jump on over -> here.

For the second hour, I get to sit down with the wise and magical Aemen Bell, a certified Western Herbalist, who also works with the healing power of food, movement, breath, and Earth energies in her practice. After spending nearly two decades in NYC studying herbs, shamanism, and people, she's delighted to now live in the mountains of Woodstock, New York. She teaches classes throughout the country on herbs and healing. She is currently writing several books & is available throughout the region for healing consultations and workshops in person and via telephone. Aemen is teaching a workshop on "Devaxing Our Kids" on August 8th at Woodstock Healing Arts. Aemen will share what to do before and after, including non-toxic, easy to use herbal remedies, as well as foods for the healing process. On today's show Aemen shares the mystical story of finding a fasting book at the age of 14 and then secretly embarking on her own 10 day water fast which healed a chronic health condition, leading her into a life of herbalism. We get devaxing tips plus props for Burdock and Raspberry Leaf for uterine health. She's pretty inspiring when it comes to personal wellness, awareness and the search for answers. I forget the exact quote (you'll have to listen to confirm), but when talking about how she moved from a state of panic when thinking about vaxing her daughter to one of solution mode, she says, herbs are one answer, there are always many answers. Thanks Aemen!

Next week I get to speak with Lila Lolling on moving past sudden divorce, healing epilepsy with yoga, yoga philosophy, yoga for the deaf community and eco-living.

#78 Endometriosis with Dr. Amy Novatt and Mel Toth

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Wed, 17 Jul 2019 21:21:50 +0000

Wow, today was a powerful show of Mel Toth sharing her journey with Endometriosis. We start the conversation with Dr. Amy Novatt, Gynecologist and women's health advocate, explaining what Endometriosis is, how to recognize the symptoms of the disease, why it's hard to diagnose and treat, and how to manage the symptoms. Whether or not you suffer from this disease or are experiencing some other health concern, it seems there's evidence enough for all of us to take the best care of ourselves as possible, reduce stress, eat nutritionally and prioritize our own health.

After this intro to "Endo," we get to learn about Mel, how she began her teaching career first instructing 4th graders and now teaching yoga at Shakti Woodstock and The Yoga House in Kingston. Mel openly and bravely shares the challenges that she's faced with her health from painful and debilitating periods where she would often bleed for two weeks to the diagnosis of Endometriosis after discovering a large (22cm) mass on her ovary. After her first surgery, doctors warned her that if she wanted children she should begin to think about that as the Endometriosis could make it more difficult down the road. That sparked a journey to figure out what to do about children, leading to some time not worrying about it and then trying to get pregnant with the use of fertility enhancing drugs. Tune in to hear all that unfolds for Mel and her journey through fertility and surgery. She's now on a path of radical self care, supported by Dr. Natalie and her practice, The Natural Endo Movement.

I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with Mel and was enraptured by her story. I hope to get her back on soon to go deeper into some of the big issues that she's so gracefully navigating!

#77 Women's Small Business + Kara Martin Snyder "Le Vital Corps Salon" Podcast

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 10 Jul 2019 21:23:23 +0000

Hey, hey, I am in Wisconsin this week so playing some very special recorded interviews.

First up, I speak with a group of powerhouse women who are all panelists at the upcoming, 3 Hours of Peace, Love and Women's Small Business, happening at Provisions in Woodstock on July 19th from 4-7pm. Our talk is just a small sample of the wisdom that will be shared by these ladies during the event that I am moderating. Today, we talk about what makes them good at what they do and what they do when the going gets tough. Joining me in this conversation and on the 19th are: Dani Hughes of Divine Asset Mgt. - Raising money and valuing your business: Abbe Aronson, of Abbe Does It - Public relations and marketing, editorial, event planning, image and design consulting, fundraising and what she refers to as “artful schmoozing” — business intros that truly count; Jolie Peters, of Tinker Street Social - Social media and digital marketing agency dedicated to small businesses and non-profits, and how to grow your online presence and best practices; Wendy Heilbut, of Jayaram Law - Attorney & Angel investor, works with emerging companies as their outside general counsel helping position them for growth; Lauree Ostrofsky of Simply Leap, LLC - author, business coach, hugger & founder of Hudson Valley Women in Business, the largest community of women business owners in our region. Get your tix to the event on the 19th HERE!

Next I play my interview with Kara Martin Snyder, recorded just a few short weeks ago. Kara is an unconventionally resourceful, former bean-counting, question-asking machine, critical thinker, and strategic problem-solver who’s been turning around stressful, chaotic situations for individuals and organizations for over 20 years. After a decade of supporting frazzled, Type-A women at the intersection of functional health & lifestyle redesign, she's now focusing her efforts on Le vital corps Salon podcast, where she hosts successful working women – from artists to change agents to astronauts - and asks them how they navigate BS and sidestep burnout. Kara and I talk about life as a CPA, what that lifestyle did to her health, how to make the difficult but powerful decision to transition from one career to another, and what she's doing now in addition to podcasting, hint...beekeeping!

Next week, we welcome back Dr. Amy Novatt and Mel Toth, talking women's health, endometriosis and radical self-care!

Until then, love yourself and uplift one another!

#76 Gisela Stromeyer "Just Like That, Poems, Paintings and Practices"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Thu, 4 Jul 2019 12:15:13 +0000

Today’s guest is Gisela Stromeyer https://www.stromeyerhealing.com/ an internationally well-known artist http://www.stromeyerdesign.com/about.html who loves moving expression of her inner world and making the unseen world visible. Trained as a dancer, architect, healer, and teacher, she’s the President of the non-profit Heart Pulse Partnership https://www.open-heartpulsepartnership.com/ which recently completed the first collaborative community built recycled bottle school in a small Mexican community called Colonia Antrochista. She’s allowed herself to fully experience life, all its pain and joy, in an effort to open and find her truest freedom, and published Just like that, Poems, Paintings and Practices, a book that beautifully depicts the wisdom she’s found along her life journey.

From Germany and a strong female role model in her Mother to studying architecture in the New York, Gisela became an internationally celebrated artist and designer who despite her success as a tension structure designer and artist listened to her heart and put that aside to become the healer she's always been. Gisela shares her experience with loss and letting go after trying to force the storybook life of marriage and children. Having suffered several miscarriages and the end of a relationship she allowed herself to learn to grieve and thereby fully experience life in order to truly open herself to the wisdom of her heart. We talk about subjects like, love, fear, loss and freedom in honor of Independence Day. What does it mean to be truly free? She shares readings from her book which reflect the wisdom that she's learned by not being afraid to follow her heart. It's always a gift to spend time with a Gisela. I hope you enjoy our talk and find your independence.

To quote from her poem "Now," The past, present, and future are constructions of the mind. The heart only wants to love in the moment. If you can let go of your thinking of the past, the future, and even of the present then you are here! To move from the past into the heart, forgive. To move from the future into the heart, trust. To move from the present into your heart, breathe.

Until next week, love yourself and uplift one another.

#75 Callie Jayne (Rise Up Kingston) + Summer Corrie (Living Life Allowed) "Appreciating the Little Things"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Wed, 26 Jun 2019 21:32:04 +0000

Today's first guest is the unstoppable Callie Jayne, Founder and Executive Director of Rise Up Kingston, https://riseupkingston.org/, a grassroots organization led by those experiencing racism, classism, and gender oppression on a daily basis, building a Kingston economy that meets all of our social and environmental needs. Because Callie is such an informed activist, we dove into many deep subjects like "racialized capitalism," the source and real world problems stemming from wealth inequality, why reparations are needed and the work Rise Up Kingston is doing around their Police Accountability Platform. As part of TMI's Black Stories Matter, Callie recently shared a personal story of overcoming an addiction to crack. We talk about how telling this story was an important message around de-stigmatizing drug addictions. She shares what it's like being a Mom to two fabulous daughters, always being sure to include the perspectives of those who don't have the same privileges she shares working for herself. As a recent recipient of an Elias Foundation Fellowship, Callie is going to continue her self-care dancing regiment by hopefully organizing large dance parties for everyone to shake things out. Tune in to her radio show, Night Rise, Wednesdays from 9-12pm on Radio Kingston. You can guarantee she'll be dancing as she's spinning her tunes.

Today's second guest, Summer Corrie, is the founder of Living Life Allowed, the container for all she does, massage therapy, nia instructing and oil slinging. Summer's infectious personality really does bring light to the spaces she fills. As someone who is on a self love mission, she shares how she's learning what love really is and the ups and downs of her journey from feeling insecure and needing the support of a partner or loved one to being brave and honest enough with herself to acknowledge that she was living her real truth eventually teaching her how to care for herself. Summer shares why she got into Nia movement and the joy it brings her to both be in her body and share the experience with others. You can book a massage with Summer here, or find her teaching Nia at Whole Sky Yoga or Stone Ridge Healing Arts Center. She's also doing a special event coming up on Transforming Through Transitions on July 14th at Stone Wave Yoga, more details can be found here -> https://www.facebook.com/events/434515917316138/ Be sure to catch her Sunday's with Summer weekly dose of sunshine via her Facebook page, Sunday's at 8:30am Eastern.

#73 Lisa Glick "Bipolar and Thriving" + Yukari Ogawa "Is it True?"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Wed, 12 Jun 2019 20:16:28 +0000

Today I play two interviews with two inspiring and determined women. First up is Lisa Glick, a retired music teacher who shares the story of her journey to mental health wellness. After struggling to get a proper diagnosis, Lisa was grateful to find a doctor who identified her as suffering from Bipolar disorder. That began a long and dedicated journey for Lisa to learn what best supports her and good mental health. She is a vibrant and energetic individual who makes us all believe that anything is possible as long as we’re willing to commit to it. She’s made it through the passing of her mother, brother and the end of her first marriage, and she shares how she does it and takes care of herself on the regular. You will fall in love with her just like I did!

Around the top of the hour is my interview with Yukari Ogawa, a veterinary technician by profession who traveled to the US despite only speaking enough English to introduce herself in order to attend a school that would allow her to pursue her passion, working with animals. After observing how her colleagues suffered from compassion fatigue and how the industry overall didn't take care of the people working in it, she began a business to help those in her industry. She found “The Work” of Byron Katie to be a profound tool in helping her with her own stressful thoughts that she’s now begun facilitating the Katie Worksheets for others. Yukari exudes compassion for others and her passion for the power of Katie’s methodology makes me believe we can all live peacefully and stress free if we just put in the work. You can join her Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/2353358131551737/ if you are interested in learning more about what she does, and you can find her teaching a facilitated class on “The Work” every other Wednesday from 7-8:15pm at Anahata http://www.anahatakingston.com/class-descriptions/work-byron-katie/.

Next week, I sit down with Shaniqua Bowden of Radio Kingston's Nubian Cafe and Rashida Tyler, a community activist and frequent guest of Shaniqua's.

Until next week, love yourself and uplift one another.

#72 Sarah Van Buren "Disco is Long Life" + Art in Public Spaces

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 5 Jun 2019 22:27:15 +0000

Broadcasting LIVE from Outdated Lite today, Theresa sits down with Sarah Van Buren, a woman of many talents like: musician, artist, DJ, 24-DRONE Producer, O+ Festival Kingston Producer, Van Buren Sisters legacy holder, cross-country motorcycle rider...the list is long. We talk about the making of her first musical album in 2018, the title of which, "Disco is Long Life," came to her during a meditation. Music has been a driving force for as long as she can remember. She's been involved with and producing various musical and creative events from her artist collective, CHERYL, which began out of a need for more accessible and inclusive dance parties closer to home in Brooklyn, NY to 24-Hour DRONE, the O+ Festival and most recently with a DJ collective in the Hudson Valley called "Mostly Girls." She is the great-great niece of Gussie and Addie Van Buren, two women who rode across country on motorcycles in 1916, a time when women didn't ride motorcycles period. Sarah repeated their journey on the Centennial anniversary of their famed trip. Would she do it again? Yes.

Midway through the show, we are joined by: Erika deVries, Artist, Teacher, Mom, and co-Creator at Cygnets Way and Lite Brite Neon; Kimberly Kae, Painter, former co-Director of the O+ Art Committee, Mom and most recently co-owner of Metal House Cider; Aimee Gardner, O+ Festival Operations Director and Disaster Mansion Fixer Upper; and Jesika Farkas, O+ Art Committee co-Director and Production Manager for the film industry. We talk about the importance of public art, i.e. access, why we create art, the O+ Festival murals, how they are made, the impact they've made on the community and the wrongs in government regulation of public art. In an attempt to summarize the beautiful words shared by today's guests, what the world needs now is more collaboration, more connection, through art by more community members, not regulation of the thing that brings people together. It's time for the systems to change.

Today’s show was engineered by Nate Brogan and Perla Darnell of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

#71 Rita Vanacore "Planet Seniors" + Aliza Theetge "Super Star Student" Women's Rights Yesterday and Today

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (IWWSH) — Wed, 29 May 2019 20:23:20 +0000

Today I get the wonderful opportunity to speak with Rita Vanacore, a business owner in Uptown Kingston for forty years and co-owner of Dreamweavers Salon and Dominick's Cafe. During this time, she has also been an educator for professionals in her service profession teaching styling, and other techniques, the recipient of numerous national awards for her contributions to the industry, and always an active campaigner for women’s rights, gay rights and children’s health issues. She hosts “Planet Seniors” on Radio Kingston as a dedication to the idea that senior citizens are valuable members of our community whose voices should be given just as much “air time” as everyone else. Our conversation winds through various aspects of her rich life from women's rights, abortion rights, gay rights, spirituality, family, business and self care. Rita's show is live on Monday evenings from 8-9pm or anytime on the Radio Kingston archive.

Next I play my interview with Aliza Rose Theetge, a dynamic and confident 9 year old who's ready to be a women's activist. She likes to point out that her initials spell ART, which she loves, and loves math, singing and dancing. She’s been studying Marie Curie in school who’s inspired her to become a women’s activist. We talk about lots of things like math, art, singing, being scared, bus drivers, Marie Curie, being a big sister and golfing. I look forward to seeing her on the big screen some day!

Self care wisdom from Theresa, we are not our thoughts, we are aware of them; we are not our emotions, we feel them; we are not our body, we experience the world through it...

#70 Tara Sanders (Trauma Informed Yoga) + Jenny Lee Fowler (Paper Cutting Artist) "Surviving and Thriving"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 22 May 2019 20:42:47 +0000

Tara Sanders came to her yoga mat to explore and heal. Having a strong commitment to serving the community and advocating for underserved populations, she has taught students at a mental health advocacy agency, homeless youth, and developed a therapeutic yoga & mindfulness program for a domestic violence shelter in Upstate NY. She is currently working with the Ulster County Crime Victims Assistance Program in developing trauma informed yoga programming that is available for free to sexual assault survivors, anyone supporting survivors, and professionals working to support survivors with their healing. Tara also sits on the advisory board of Exhale to Inhale, a non-profit organization that brings yoga to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in New York and Los Angeles through free weekly classes at shelters and community-based organizations. Today, Tara shares the differences between a trauma informed yoga class and a "regular" class, the benefits of somatic practices like yoga to help heal trauma, the film Resilience about adverse childhood experiences, and surviving and THRIVING after her own personal trauma of childhood sexual assault and her father's passing from an opioid overdose.

Jenny Lee Fowler is a freelance artist specializing in private commissions, illustration, exhibition, event entertainment, and workshops. She snips traditional silhouette portraits and original paper cuttings. Her work has been spotted in Taproot Magazine, Design Sponge, Martha Stewart Living, House Beautiful, Better Homes and Gardens, Garden Design, Southern Weddings, NY Times and other print and online venues. Jenny is a principal artist for the Catskill Waters project. She designed five Hudson Valley Seed Company Art Packs, was the recipient of a Spring Creek Project Collaborative Retreat and a residency at Drop Forge + Tool, and was an artist-in-residence for the grand opening of the Walkway Over the Hudson. She teaches workshops in the adult education program at New York Botanical Garden. Jenny "homeschools" Theresa on the history of the art of paper cutting, how she does it, the intricacies of it, and how she teaches others to do it. Jenny was recently re-diagnosed with breast cancer and shares how she and her family are taking care of one another and staying optimistic, living outside of the statistics of what stage 4 breast cancer brings.

Katy Kondrat (Sustainable Agriculture Activist) and Jolie Holland (Songwriter) "Keep Going"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 8 May 2019 20:05:15 +0000

Hello ery'body... Theresa is in ITALY so it's just me, Shana Falana, holding down the fort! It's also my last day on the air, but please don't be sad... Theresa is excited to continue the "i want what SHE has" journey and will keep bringing you incredible guests and conversations. It's been an honor to serve you all, I'm happy to report that my music life is picking up and I just need do 'self care' and let something in my schedule go, alas this glorious show.

My first guest today is Katy Kondrat. She is a mother, singer, the manager of the Kingston NY Farmers Market, and now the council member (but also founder) of the Kingston Food Coop. Katy's interest in bringing community and farms together started when she was at SUNY New Paltz. We talk about her love of collaboration, music, and her gift of community organizing. She recently launched the membership drive of Co-op at Rough Draft books during the Common Wealth Hudson Valley event, in which Evelyn Wright, founder, explains to us some of the alternative economic growth that is happening here. We play a clip of Evelyn's introduction!

My second guest today is Jolie Holland. She is a beloved singer, songwriter and performer that you may also remember from the Be Good Tanyas. Shana and Jolie knew eachother in San Fransisco in the early 2000's which made for a more intimate interview. Jolie shares about life on the road, her stage fright, and how difficult the music business is. Her message ultimately though, what else would I do? The answer, "keep going".

Self Care: I (Shana) share about how this show has been a gift to ME! By interviewing women this last year 'that have what I want' it has aloud me to take my power back instead of giving it away, thinking that others have things I could never attain.... I also read from a quote from the book "Get Over It" by Iyanla Vanzant.

Today’s show was engineered by Ben Benton of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org with special support from Manuel Blas. Next week our guests are yoga teachers Nidhi Huba, Shawn Harrison and Cory Nakasue.

We heard music from Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/.

Talking Hormones and Healing

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 1 May 2019 20:40:53 +0000

Today Theresa is joined by Renee Keplinger (formerly Darmstadt for those of you in Kingston who know her by her maiden name). Renee is a Personal Trainer and runs the boutique fitness and women's studio, Cornell Street Studios in Kingston, NY. Renee kicks off the show with a little background about herself and how she transitioned from managing art events to following her passion of fitness. Just as she was getting back into running she was knocked down by a severe hormone imbalance stemming from coming off her birth control pill. She went from running a 5 min 34 sec mile to barely being able to walk a mile. Throughout the show we learn about the challenges this presented for Renee both personally and in her work and how she built herself back slowly through a fierce commitment to her healing. She shares her many self care practices as well as how she works with her clients, leading by example. She believes she's about 95% fully recovered and enthusiastically back in her running game. Renee works with individuals as well as group classes often times taking them into the field to enjoy the Spring weather.

Renee and Theresa were joined by Gynecologist, Dr. Amy Novatt, who specializes in Menopause management, Adolescent gynecology and Integrative Medicine. She is also Chief - Department of OBGYN, Northern Dutchess Hospital in Rhinebeck, NY. Dr. Novatt takes questions from Renee, Theresa and callers, Shana and Evelyn. The conversation winds through an understanding of how hormones affect a woman's body, HPV and pap smears, and surgical menopause. Thanks to our callers. Here is the reference to the book by Lori Ann King on her experience with her journey through surgical menopause, Come Back Strong.

The moral of the story. Our bodies are complex, and they are unique. They deserve love. Thanks to everyone for sharing and helping to make today's show an informative one for everyone.

Next week, Shana is holding down the fort with guests Katy Kondrat of the Kingston Food Coop and Farmer's Market and musician Jolie Holland. Until next week, love yourself and uplift one another.

#66 Aimee Herman (Everything Grows) and Heidi Vanderlee (Early Riser) "Opinions Expressed Here Are Probably Shouted"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 24 Apr 2019 19:29:34 +0000

Hello Hello! And happy SPRING, wow the trees are popping upstate, it's so gorgeous here. We are driving around with our sunroofs open and sun hats on. We want you to know that we will be taking calls NEXT WEEK, May 1st with our guest Dr. Amy Novatt who is an incredible local gynecologist. You can call the station at 845-331-1490 with your questions from 1:15-2pm EST.

We start by girl talking about the show Shana saw at the Guggenheim last week: Hilma af Klint, Paintings for the Future. She shares about her own history with spiritualism and channeling creativity through wicca and circle casting.

Our first guest is Aimee Herman, a three-time Pushcart Prize nominated poet and writer looking to disembowel the architecture of gender and what it means to queer the body. She shares about being bullied as a kid, mental health, her own attempts at suicide as well as her mother's and how writing has helped her to explore these deep issues. In addition to her own writing, Aimee teaches writing and literature at Bronx college, and helps to spread self love and acceptance through a letter writing exercise with her students where they write love letters to themselves, and after they've forgotten the task she then mails them to her students at a later date. Her first young novel, Everything Grows, is coming out in May. The book explores issues like coming out, gender identity, bullying, mental health and forgiveness. When not teaching or writing, Aimee can be found performing with her band Hydrogen Junkbox. She's celebrating her book release on Friday, May 10th, at Bluestockings Bookstore in NYC at 7pm located at 172 Allen St. in NYC.

Our second guest today is Heidi Vanderlee. She is a publicist at Shark Party Media cellist and vocalist at** Early Riser** and former booker at the Chris Gethard Show. She's been a staple in the Brooklyn music scene for quite sometime now. She was part of a music collective in 2010-2012, putting on shows with a feminist perspective, active in politically organizing and booking shows that would donate proceeds to causes for female rights organizations, even helping Pussy Riot at one point! After that work shifted, she started at the Chris Gethard show, exposing her to comedians, musicians and creative audience members that often participated in the show. Always behind the scene, it was great to get Heidi to talk about herself, her insights into the music industry, feminism and following a creative career. Her band is on tour this May 2019, check out their dates: HERE

Self Care:
Tuning into your body, practicing the** fourth agreeement!**

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 10 Apr 2019 19:24:20 +0000

Girl-talking about herbalism, the Catholic Church, and our special herbal concoctions that we got from the Good Fight Herb Co when we visited there a few weeks ago to interview our first guest today, Lauren Giambrone! We play our road-trip interview of Lauren and bring you along for the ride, literally in the car and walking to the shop. Lauren talks about how she got into herbalism and knew pretty quickly it was her calling. She started small by tending herb gardens in the Hudson Valley and doing farmer's markets which eventually grew to opening a brick and mortar location in Hudson and starting a farm school with her soul-sister Mandana called the Wild Gather Herb School. We get to touch on so many important subjects like herbs for Spring, herb circles, cultural appropriation, sustainability and inclusivity in the herbal community. NO more SAGE or PALO SANTO people!!! She's a real gem of a human full of wisdom and passion for healing. Go get some herbal LOVE!

Lauren tipped us to an amazing little grocer around the corner from her shop called the Rolling Grocer which offers groceries at tiered pricing. Sehla "Cece" Graham greeted us with a smile when we walked in and was such a shining, happy face that we wanted to get an interview of her about the progressive and community minded way the store is run. Be inspired by the tiered pricing structure based upon income levels and how that helps to make healthy, organic food accessible to everyone. Let's all do that!!!

Self care brings to you MORE tincture talk...Shana's Over the Hedge tincture helping her to make decisions that best support her and her "work." Theresa talks about her astrology reading from Miguel Mendes which blew her mind. She's hopeful that it will be the final piece to anchoring her into her creative work. If you want to get in touch with him email her, and she'll connect you!

Today’s show was engineered by Manuel Blas and Ben Benton of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

We heard music from Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/.

#63 Olga Sahej (Blue Lotus Qi Gong) / Aki Goto (Shirotento Orchestra) "The Healing Power of Illness"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 3 Apr 2019 20:03:45 +0000

Happy Spring! It's 65 degrees here in Kingston NY today. We have a few announcements today, one is that Shana is going to be taking a sabbatical from our show starting May 15th. Her career and painting work is taking off in all directions and she needs to focus in right now, however Theresa will be steering the ship so the show goes on! Our OTHER incredible news is that Theresa got engaged! I know I know! Love is in the air.

Our first guest Olga Sahej, brings us a story of hope as she says "never give up on your body." She is a Russian born musician, coming to America to study, (Suny New Paltz), and because internal stress adapting into American culture developed intense arthritis from extensive piano playing. It seemed impossible to heal, until she worked with a Chinese acupuncturist and Qi Gong Master. Through working hard healing herself she learned about her relationship to music, joy, gratitude and commitment to changing her life. Her self work has now culminated into Blue Lotis Qi Gong, where she helps others move through the physical and emotional challenges of life with the help of QiGong and other healing modalities. She also runs a horse-riding camp for girls with her husband called International Riding Camp which runs from June to August, and she's holding a workshop for Women's Health QiGong at** Anahata April 13th** here in Kingston NY.

Our second guest is Aki Goto. She is a Japanese experimental noise maker and multimedia artist based in the Hudson Valley NY. As she was graduating from an art college in Tokyo she was also struggling with a dissociative disorder which enriched her art but also created a distance between her and the world around her. Recently her partner was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer, despite the difficulties and sadness, she chose to listen to the cancer and what it was trying to tell them. They began to "Love Cancer" with its message to slow down. With her "Shirotento Orchestra" (meaning white tent) she created an event for our Gender-Queer community based on how Japan recognizes gender. In Japan, girl’s day is on 3/3 and boy’s day on 5/5 — so she decided to create Genderqueer’s Day right between those days and celebrate their beauty, creativity, and power. The event is at the Old Dutch Church this Friday at 6pm! The theme is called Genderqueer's Day and the event details can be found HERE!

SELF CARE! Self care we talked about the healing nature of herbs and flower essences, something that Aki does from wild flowers found on her land. Perfect timing as next week we share our interview with Lauren Giambrone of the Good Fight Herb Co. and Wildgather Herb School.

Today’s show was engineered by Manuel Blas of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.
We heard music from Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/, Olga Sahej (Two Voices From Beyond) and audio from the L7 Documentary “Pretend We're Dead”

#62 The Upstate NY Lifestyle Brand (w. Shawna Dunworth, Erica Brown and Ani Kaiser) "Fetishizing the Catskills"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 27 Mar 2019 17:00:00 +0000

We are broadcasting from Radio Kingston on a new FM signal and its HOT HOT HOT! Please have patience with this episode as it may have some crackle, ok ...

Today we have a quick conversation with Martha Frankel about the Woodstock Bookfest. She talks about why she writes, the importance of stories and books and all the goodness of this weekend's festivities!

Our 3 guests today are Shawna Dunworth of Duo Bistro, Erica Brown of Kingston Landtrust, and Ani Kaiser of Birch Body Care . We talk about the recent upstate lifestyle branding on social media, specifically city based social media influencers blogging and instagramming about our neighborhoods, and we ask the question "is it exclusionary and classist" or is it what our struggling economy needs? From the outsiders perspective it looks as though they’re capitalizing on the ‘lifestyle’ in ways that are possibly not ethical and verging on classism and racism. Harsh words, but we want to talk about this!

Self Care time! Talking safe spaces, mental health and hugging trees.

Today’s show was engineered by Manuel Blas of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.
We heard music from Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/, audio from an interview with Glennon Doyle, and Martha Frankel.

#61 Dani Hughes (Divine Asset Management) / Diane Reeder ( Feeding Community) "Food and Financial Self Care"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 20 Mar 2019 17:00:00 +0000

Hello our people! Shana is back from Italy and discusses her feelings about how the #metoo movement is definitely not happening in Italy. Also we discuss how having access to all the best pastries, pasta and bread in the world really helped Shana with her intuitive eating work. Theresa offers up the idea of Oxytocin and how hormonal imbalance can also aid in intuitive eating, she references the Shakti Hour Podcast.

Our first guest today is Danielle Hughes, CEO and founder of Divine Asset Management. She began her career on Wall Street in 1991 at a trading firm. After seeing how women weren't seated at the table in the male dominated finance world she researched and started her own company lifting women up and showing them how to use their own intuition and common sense to build their own 'empire'. She talks about how a "budget is self-care," helping women overcome their fears working in finance and building their own empire without shame. 75% of women usually run the finances for the household and make the majority of purchasing decisions, why are we not seated at the table? We hear the ups and downs of starting her own business and why it's important to take care of yourself first and foremost.

Our second guest today is Diane Reeder. She is a not only a chef, she cooked gourmet food for those in need, landing her a write up in Bon Appetit Magazine. She created a soup kitchen and ran the Queens Galley for ten years serving 10,000 meals per month 100% supported by donations and volunteers before starting the Kingston Candy Bar where she makes candy and desserts creating a positive and creative environment for local families and visitors here in Kingston NY. She talks about the importance of the basic dignity involved with feeding real food to real people and giving them a space to gather and eat with one another. Recently she graduated from The Culinary Institute, something that she started 28 years ago and recently finished her last year because of a gifted paid tuition from someone that believes in her and the work she does in our community. If that doesn't help you understand what a value she is to us, and the people she touches!

Self Care time! Yay, it's the Spring Equinox, Full Super Moon, Aries time, astrological New Year!!! Theresa shares the messages from today's Tarot card, The Wheel of Fortune!

Her humble spirit is a treasure to listen to in this rare interview!

Our second guest is Amanda Cole, musician, writer, poet and filmmaker. She is currently telling her father's story of his failed music career after the 60's Woodstock concert and how this affected her own creative life in the documentary: Quill and the Man.

#56 Megan Offner (NY Heartwoods) / Erica Chase-Salerno (Thank You Cancer) "Living and Dying On Your Own Terms"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 13 Feb 2019 18:00:00 +0000

Hello to you, and happy Feb 13th, the day before Valentines Day, which we like to think of as 'self-love day.' Yes, Girl Talk is about Valentine's Day, but not in the way you THINK we're going to talk about it. Theresa had a One Billion Rising event this last weekend, which not only raised money for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence, but also the one and only Eve Ensler came and married everyone to themself. Eeeee! You can watch the video of the event speakers HERE. If you want ALL the vows, send us an email.

Our first guest today is Megan Offner of New York Heart Woods. Her company consciously produces lumber, live-edge slabs, furniture and retail displays from fallen and urban Hudson Valley trees. Yet another amazingly creative person coming from Brooklyn, creating a life out of the world of set design and DJ'ing in the city. Yes she was raised in Missoula MT, yes she renovated a crack house in Ocean Hill Brooklyn, yes she researched green building materials, yes she invested in her own education... started her own business in Brooklyn and moved up to the Hudson Valley. Heck YES! She's been clear from the beginning to stay true to her passions and principles. She learned through some ups and downs, a bout with skin cancer and an awareness of the roles the masculine versus the feminine has played in her life to also stay true to her own needs. She's a true model for how we can all both live and work sustainably not only for ourselves but for our world.

Our second guest today is Shana's dear friend Erica Chase-Salerno. Erica is a force, a healer, a writer, a mother, a lover of life and connection. She gifted her community and family with a dynamic and diverse view of the world, working with new mothers with Wyld Acres Healing Arts & Prenatal Communication, working with families as an intuitive, homeschooling her own kids, and always exploring creative projects, outings and activities. It's no wonder that her own backyard labyrinth inspired a dedication to her at The Forsyth Nature Center. Prepare yourselves, Erica talks about the GIFT of Cancer, the CAN in cancer, each new chapter a gift. Ever since we (her friends and family) learned about her cancer, we were not aloud to use certain language. We were instructed to lose the 'fight cancer' lingo, the 'I'm so sorry for you' offerings, instead we were all encouraged to join her in her wonder and joy, her excitement and her desire to share every detail of her experiencing this part of her LIFE. Shana knew that Erica would be down to do an interview to share her story with us one last time, so she sat with her bedside, wheeling the breathing machine into the hallways (although you can still hear it). The entire interview (one hour and 40 minutes) is available to all who what it, you can email: she@iwantwhatshehas.org. It is meant to offer you a positive story of death, dying, cancer, and what it's like to do the ultimate transition with grace and joy. Erica passed away 6 days after this interview, Feb 7th, 2019.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Erica’s loving memory to her children’s education fund by mailing checks made payable to Michael Chase-Salerno to PO Box 300, Modena, NY 12548. Write “education” in the memo. Online tributes and remembrances may be posted at https://erica.chasal.net.

You can read her obituary HERE.

Her TMI reading starts us off and you can watch that HERE.

Today's show was engineered by Manuel Blas from Radio Kingston. We heard audio from Ashley Knox from this past weekend's 1st Annual Sojourner Truth Walk, and music from our one and only Shana Falana. Until next week, love yourself and uplift one another.

#55 Women in Small Town Business (Jen Donovan, Maria Philippis, Elenie Loizou) "Wishing the Competition Success"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 6 Feb 2019 18:00:00 +0000

We chat a little bit about Stacey Abrams Speech last night in the Democratic's response to the President's State of the Union address, you can hear her speech HERE. It's soooo good, do yourself a favor and listen to this bold, compassionate and spiritually intelligent woman share about her vision for the United States! She starts off her speech with mentioning a "Happy Lunar New Year!" The feminine is definitely rising again! In honor of the New Moon, we listen to Shana's music clip of her 'Water Chant' from her Bulgarian Women's Choir. It paired well with Theresa's little share about her water blessing ceremony on the New Moon earlier this week and another audio clip we wanted to share from a WINGS episode about water protectors. She shares to inspire us all to think about the water and to remember that it's our job to protect the waters.

Our guests today all know each other, they are all successful business owners in Kingston NY (where we live). They are also mothers, community builders and helping to shape our fast growing town. We sat down to talk to them about running a business in a city that is experiencing a lot of change economically and demographically. They share their philosophy on "competition" and setting boundaries with the people they work with. These women are:

Jen Donovan, owner of Le Shag which opened in 2005. She is a Kingston native, born and raised and claimed a stake in Kingston long before the boutiques and trendy restaurants arrived. After working as a colorist locally, in NYC, on and off Broadway, in photoshoots and film she decided to open her own 'industrial-style salon." Last year she partnered with Glo Spa in Woodstock, NY and and is excited to have recently launched Glo Express in Kingston, NY.

Maria Philippis, the owner of 2 restaurants, Boitsons (2010) and KOVO (2015). She is a single mother, building owner and event planner. She has always been focused on inclusivity with other businesses in uptown, going out of her way to connect with everyone in her community, allowing her high end restaurant to be a community space for various activities in the area.

Elenie Loizou, co-owner of Dietz Stadium Diner (1061). She took over the diner from her family 11 years ago. Elenie grew up in the Kingston area, she is also the mother of 5 (2 sets of twins, just take that in), and she is very active in the community. She is currently the President of KUBA (Kingston Uptown Business Association), director of the Greek and Sunday school of St. George Greek Orthodox Church, president of the Hellenic Women’s Club, Board member of People’s Place, and the list is long... like really... long.

The point is these women are A C T I V E and IN C L U S I V E and in the #nomatterwhatclub. No matter how many businesses are opening around them, no matter what competition is encroaching, using competition to actually thrive, no matter how young their children are, no matter how stressful their days might get, their morals, integrity, and serenity all are in tact. It's incredible to watch because we know them, and this is why we have them on today, we know that you are all multi-taskers and community oriented and we wanted to not only highlight these women but also give you a boost of inspiration!

Self care? Who's got the time?!?!?! It feels like that a bit, but we're making sure we check in on ourselves and give ourself even the tiniest bit so that we don't go too far off the rails. It is the year of the Pig, so we've got lots of enthusiasm to do all the amazing work we are set to do!!!

#54 Lea Garnier (Sage Academy of Sound Energy) / Dee Solin (Magic Palette) "The Magic of Sound and Color"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 30 Jan 2019 18:00:00 +0000

Hello People!! Girls will be girls Talking and DOING a lot!

We are giving a shout out to the film "No Choice" by Bill Moyers, it is screening here in NY at Upstate Films followed by a panel talk with these amazing humans: Ruth-Ellen Blodgett, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Mid-Hudson Valley; Robin Marty, author of Handbook for a Post-Roe America; and Susan Wong of the NYCLU.

Lea Garnier is our first guest today. Lea has worked in the healing arts for over 20 years and is an accomplished practitioner in this field. She began her healing journey by making paintings that have been displayed, sold and published in Europe and New York State. Lea found Craniosacral Therapy in NYC after suffering neck and back injuries sustained in an auto accident. The relief she found from this work was so profound she put down her painting brushes to pursue training. She is trained as an Upledger Craniosacral Therapist and has a private practice at Sage Academy of Sound Energy / Sage Center for the Healing Arts in Woodstock, NY, a center she co-founded in 2007, and now directs. In 2008 she became a certified yoga instructor trained in the Desikachar linage, and specializes in teaching the integration of sound healing and sound awareness (nada) in a yoga class setting. Lea shares her thoughts on the feminine, how she was exposed to the strength of the feminine via her mom and sisters. Her deep wisdom of sound and how the body heals comes through in all that she shares. She hosts monthly sound baths in Woodstock, NY at Sage as well as her annual retreats at Menla and Ananda. She is like the legit embodiment of the Goddess, for reals.

Dee Solin is our second guest today. Dee is An award winning American Abstract Color Painter. She is known for her highly charged chromatic oil paintings. Her work is in collections in Europe, Australia and the US. After living and painting in the South of France for 20 years, she returned home to New York to pursue her art and to become more involved in the New York art world. When she first arrived, she painted at the Art Students League. After leaving the league she opened a studio space in midtown Manhattan. Presently, she divides her time between her New York City and her new ‘barn’ home in Rhinebeck. She is also the creator of several fine art Colour Guides that are distributed through artist material stores world wide under the name of “MAGIC PALLETTE.” Dee talked about the importance of staying in the place of positivity versus anger or frustration, and how that helps her to keep moving forward.

Self care!!! It's astrology time...in honor of Monday's New Moon, Theresa shares this month's astrology from Astrology King...ready for it?

Hey hey HEYYYYY! It's our one year anniversary to us! We’ve been bringing you 2 interviews of incredible females EVERY WEEK for a year.. and we’re going for another season 🌘 finally launching the podcast, including street interviews, road trips and more... Our joke to have a show of us laughing became a reality, AMAZING! We are so grateful for all you listeners, hope you keep tuning in! Theresa talks about her experience during the Women's March last weekend and shares a quote from Elizabeth Cady Stanton in honor of the women out there working hard to keep the movement going. "I think if women would indulge more freely in vituperation, they would enjoy ten times the health they do. It seems to me they are suffering from repression. So long as women are slaves, men will be knaves."

Today we are celebrating with our fellow Radio Kingston Hosts and it's a fun, wild ride. Beetle: "I’m Beetle. I’m a writer, blogger, novelist, sometime performer, and hysterically infrequent embodiment of the things most people expect of me." Please watch this clip of Beetle performing at TMI #blackstories matter and if you need a good laugh this one. Freedomwalker "I’m FreedomWalker. I’m a certified creative art therapist and an accredited practitioner of the healing arts. I’m spiritual, a fine artist and a writer. I’m happy to share my gifts and passion with the listeners." Here's a clip from FreedomWalker talking about how she received her name. Beetle and Freedomwalker have a show at Radio Kingston: The Black Meta. Julie Novak: "Julie is a radio host at Radio Kingston, No One Like You! She has been performing around the New York Tri-State area for the last 15 years. Her comedy combines a keen look at the politics of queerness, gender variance, and everything in between.She studied comedy and improv at Second City in Chicago and Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in NYC. She has performed stand-up in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington DC. She participated, along with such comedians as Lewis Black and Kathy Griffin, in the Serious Laughs Comedy Festival in Kingston, NY headlining “Queerstock”, a gay and lesbian cabaret. In 2010, Novak co-founded TMI Project, a non-profit organization offering transformative memoir workshops and performances where people learn to tell the parts of their stories that they usually leave out." Julie is MC'ing a benefit for a new Kingston recovery center, Samadhi, this weekend, January 27th at the Colony. AND join us all as we celebrate the one year anniversary of her show, No One Like You, February 23rd at BSP in Kingston, NY. Tickets available soon...be there and be square! Today we chatted about oh so many things from overcoming fear to the challenges of living in a society where we are both finding our unique tribes and allies yet also trying to celebrate our differences at the same time. How do we evolve and grow together? Tune into their shows, they are both amazing, thought provoking, comedic and heart-centered. It's all about love anyway!!!

Next week, we welcome Lea Garnier and Dee Solin! Thanks to Manuel Blas and Warren Lawrence from Radio Kingston for engineering this wild and crazy ride today. We heard clips from Ubaka Hill during this past weekend's Woodstock Women's March and music from Shana Falana. Until next week, love yourself and uplift another.

#52 Marcina Hale (Disturbing the Peace Doc) / Molly Hamilton (Widowspeak) "Transforming and Reconnecting"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 16 Jan 2019 18:00:00 +0000

Girl Talking about the Women's March today with special guest Radio Kingston's Hillary Harvey (The Source). Should we believe all the hype about the controversy surrounding the March and keep us from marching? What do you think? You can find the Kingston Women's History Month events that she is involved with at their Facebook page.

Our first guest is Marcina Hale, co-producer of the highly impactful film "Disturbing the Peace" and co-founder of Reconsider, an organization that sparks innovation, encouraging creativity, and forms community to make our world more compassionate and connected. She asks the complicated questions, "if you're willing to stand up for someone, are you willing to stand with everyone?" She shares about the 5 movements of transformation that take place during her Reconsider workshops as well as her super top secret, secret of how to be a better human..."stop, drop and roll." You can also hear Marcina's TEDxKCWomen HERE.

Our second guest is Molly Hamilton of the band Widowspeak. Molly went to an arts high school in Tacoma, Washington, did some promoting at music venues, writing about music and played music...then moved to New York City, went to the New School, worked for Bowery Presents and various other jobs. Molly talks about the organic formation of her band which quickly became a success and how that changed the pace of her life and her relationship to her music. Seeking to slow things down and reconnect with what was most important to her, she moved from Brooklyn to the Hudson Valley. There's an abundance of creativity flowing from her even though she's not recording or touring, and she is just allowing it to come into form without plan or judgement...more will be revealed!

Self CARE! Theresa talks about not being afraid to ask for what you need and being open to receiving and to the magic of it all...and then to be grateful for it! Molly talks about how cooking is her self care. Oh yes, we hear that!

#51 Jennifer Dignon (Heart Child Yoga) / Lara Hope (Lara Hope and the Ark-Tone) / "The Benefit of Presence and Magical Gifts from the Universe"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 9 Jan 2019 18:00:00 +0000

Girl Talk get's cute with an audio recording of Shana and Mike singing Theresa "Happy Birthday." Haha... Love celebrating Theresa. Then we go deep into the subject of doubt and whether it's useful or not and how to move past it. What are your thoughts?

Our first guest today is Jennifer Dignon of Heart Child Yoga. She is a yoga teacher and therapist here in the Hudson Valley, working mostly with kids and kids with special needs. Before she became a yoga teacher, she was a teacher for special needs kids. She always brought yoga into the work that she did and explains how it helps to make the children feel better and relax. She talks about how children are often misunderstood, about how their abilities BECOME disabilities from adults and educators perspectives, which she consistently works to redefine. Using yoga, sound healing, dance, essential oils, and her Conscious Support Method of tapping into the children's feelings in the present moment, she is really able to serve these special humans who she refers to as her gurus.

Our second guest today is Lara Hope, a local Hudson Valley touring musician. Her band is Lara Hope and the Ark-Tones.They just got back from a whirlwind tour opening for Brian Setzer of the band The Stray Cats. Lara shares about her growing success, hard work ethic, her ability to keep moving forward, and how getting the booking agent of her dreams who focuses on roots music was the missing piece of the puzzle. Hear the story of a super fan who saved their van and their show in Hudson, and Lara's favorite story from someone who benefited from their music when they were overseas in a military barracks. Lara talks about supporting female fronted bands and being around women on tour which can be a rarity. She leaves for tour again later this January, check out her dates HERE.

Self care is all about cake today! Well sort of. Theresa is serenaded by friends and co-workers with chocolate cake, but then we do get into it with self-care wisdom by Lara Hope. Neurofeedback, talk-therapy, nutrition and yoga are what she turns to. Theresa is back to journaling, her own form of talk therapy, and of course, cake.

Today's show was engineered by Manuel Blas of Radio Kingston. We heard a clip from the film RBG, Lara Hope and the Ark-Tones and Shana Falana. Until next week, love yourself and uplift one another!

#50 Meghan Don (The New Divine Feminine) Elly Swope (Recording Engineer, Destination Universe) "Finding the Feminine and Loving the Process"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 2 Jan 2019 18:00:00 +0000

Happpppppy New Year listeners! We're Girl Talking about What did you do for New Years Eve? What does New Year's mean to you? Do you set intentions for the year? We did, sort of.

Our first guest today is Meghan Don, is an Award-Winning Author, Multi-Faith Minister, and an Initiate of the Sophian Lineage. She has worked extensively with the Christian mystics, the Kabbalistic teachings, and Jungian psychology. She is renowned for her work in helping to raise the feminine consciousness and confidence in our world. Meghan talks about us (people) as mythic beings, and why it is so difficult for women to come forward, why is there that nagging feeling of not being 'enough', and why is it a struggle to be confident? Theresa interviews her about the seven faces of the feminine which goes deeply into into her latest book "The New Divine Feminine". Check out her upcoming events happening in the Hudson Valley.

Our second guest today is Elly Swope. Shana met her on her last tour to the west coast. Elly is a recording engineer working out of Destination Universe in Portland Oregon. She moved to Portland 8 years ago to find her people, which she did immediately. She is a multi-instrumentalist, self taught guitarist and professional drummer. The interview deep dives into the challenges of staying positive in the music industry and how she decided to fall in love with the "process and the journey". She's been touring with bands out of Portland and also just released her new EP: It Feels The Same Everytime. ** There was some technical difficulty with this recording software, you may hear some wifi disfunction on Elly's end and some echo on Shana's end, but it came out beyond that so we aired it!

Self Care...it's that time to talk about how we are taking care of ourselves!!! Shana talks about finding herself in a mild state of depression, allowing herself to be in it and then how trusting herself helps her move through it. Theresa talks about feeling the fire of 2019! It seems to be the theme coming through for 2019. To quote her We'moon calendar book, it's time to "crank up the heat. We need to be on fire this year, but whether we feel the hearth fire of the gathering collective, the fire of a combustion engine, or just burn the house down--that will be up to us and how we use the aspects." Feel the fire, use that energy for good, and have an amazing 2019!

Today’s show was engineered by Manuel Blas of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.
We heard music from Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/, Elly Swope, and audio from the film, RBG, https://www.rbgmovie.com

#49 Bel Downey (Screenwriter) / Tracey Helton (The Big Fix: Hope After Heroin) "Finding Your Community and Saving Lives"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 26 Dec 2018 18:00:00 +0000

Happy Holidays Folks!

We taped this show just for you!!! We hope you're all having a good holiday. Are you doing ok? Do you need to listen to the Food Psych Podcast because you're having some food issues coming up around the holidays? Need some Buddhism wisdom from the Ram Dass Podcast? We know that the holidays can be a challenging time.

Theresa and Shana share some stories about the concept of 'freedom' and the freedom you get from really experiencing the challenges of life, and how it can help you become a better you. Even though there's privilege to 'how' we experience these challenges, we can all play with looking at challenges from a different perspective.

Our first guest today is Belinda Downey, Aussie transplant, mom and screenwriter. Bel is a good friend of Theresa's who's been an inspiration to her as someone who manages to hold down a full time job, a baby and a commitment to her creative writing. Bel talks about how she got to the US, how finding a writing community was a motivating factor in getting here and how she balances work, toddler and staying connected to her writing amidst her many responsibilities. She shares about the differences between living in Australian and the US, ah hem...healthcare. Bel's been working on several screenwriting projects and ponders why so many of her main characters have historically been male and how when she finally wrote in female leads, the feedback she received was that they were not likeable. Misogyny or honest feedback. Tell us what you think!

Our second guest today is Tracey Helton, recovery activist and author of the book The Big Fix: Hope After Heroin. She is known as the 'heroine of heroin" and has been interviewed in too many publications to list here. They've been running stories about her passion for getting Narcan/ Naloxone into the hands of the public. She's saved over 300 lives worldwide just by mailing out the opiate reversing drug (which is 100% legal) but nearly impossible for most people to get, some states have it but most do not. She is a firm believer in harm reduction methods to help addicts get through life in the hopes that they will someday be able to get clean. Shana has been bringing Tracey's book into her weekly 12 step rehab meetings as an aid to the many heroin addicts desperate for recovery. What an honor to finally interview her years later and hear even more stories of HOPE and also find out how this mother of 3 is able to keep working so hard on the front lines of the opioid epidemic.

For another interview with her check out: https://www.workithealth.com/blog/tracey-helton-mitchell-interview

Today for 'self care' Theresa and Shana reflect back on the year! We also also invite you to keep sending us idea's for our show in the new year!

#48 Lavender Suarez (Sound Healer) / Dana Ronnquist (Miss Hudson Valley) "Healing and Deep Listening"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 19 Dec 2018 18:00:00 +0000

Hello Hello!!! How has your week been? We're gonna guess BIZZY!!!

OK!

Today on the show we wanted to talk about volunteering... it seems like this time of year folks come out to help those less fortunate, which is WONDERFUL but we also wanted to let you know that we can think about helping out all year round!

We are also giving a shout out to our listeners to tell us: what topics do you want us to cover in our next season? who do you want us to interview? what round-table discussion would you like us to have? Feel free to send us some ideas! We've been getting alot of good ideas from you already :)

Our first guest today is Dana Ronnquist who is a massage therapist and recent graduate of Wild Gather, Hudson Valley's School of Herbal Studies. Dana has taken her herbal skills to another level in opening Golden Hour Botanicals, a line of herbal body products and tinctures. Dana shares the challenges of working through several health crisis and the disappointment she experienced in the medical profession. After being diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, and receiving that diagnosis via a voicemail, Dana sought out the care of New Leaf, a Kingston and Vermont based naturopathic practice who really provided the care she was seeking. Her Crohn's diagnosis was followed up by a discovery of a large ovarian cyst which she learned later was actually due to endometriosis. This journey led her through challenging diets with limited food options as well as major weight fluctuation, the public's response to her losing weight, and a deeper understanding of what healthy really looks like.

Our second guest today is Lavender Suarez, a sound and energy healer based out of the Hudson Valley. She loves exploring music, even as a kid she played instruments quote un-quote 'wrong' just because she was just very curious about the way that sound worked. She worked with sound in abstracts all through her early life, she studied Art Therapy in college, and after she moved to the Hudson Valley she started working with Pauline Oliveros at the Deep Listening Institute. Did you know that there are tuning forks that work with acupressure points in the body? Through vibration you can reach the nervous system in the body, it helps to quiet the mind and relax the body, and this is what starts the therapeutic process. It's so amazing to hear her explain how her exploration has completely opened her up to a never ending world of vibration!

#47 Amara Projansky (Luminary Media) / Leigh Henrich (Sweets and Pop Music) "Women Pioneers and Publishing and Music"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 12 Dec 2018 18:00:00 +0000

Hello listeners! Shana is BACK in the studio yay!

We also are asking our listeners for feedback and idea's as we are signed up for another season here, we are going to revamp our show, is there anything you're looking for, interested in that we're not covering? Tell us!
she@iwantwhatshehas.org

Amara Projansky is our first guest today! She is a Hudson Valley native, and also the Founder and CEO of Luminary Media, the publisher of Chronogram, Upstate House, Upstater, Explore the Hudson Valley and now The River. She dives deep into her childhood growing up in New Paltz with a single dad, being the oldest of 3 sisters, her relationship with her family and how it influenced her life today. She was always interested reading, writing and art, and did her own "self-guided home schooling" as she calls it at the age of 16, and was encouraged by her mother's husband to focus on her art and painting. Now 25 years later she reflects on the challenges and adjustments that have been made to keep growing the magazine and publishing company. How does she take care of herself as a mother and a CEO? As a lifelong meditator she continues to explore ways to create peace and balance within and has been practicing Continuum which we're curious to check out!

Our second guest today is Leigh Henrich. She works in music licensing and just recently started her own company Sweets and Pop Music !!! She has over 10 years in the music industry, but synch representation for indie artists is really where her heart is. She shares about growing up in a small town and heading out to the city, interning for companies like Nasty Little Man and Matador . She moved around a lot in the industry, she always knew she would do something in music, she was figuring out what resonated for her! She had great mentors and shares some secrets about her learning experiences I'm including a recent interview by Synchtank as well, definitely worth checking out... You will see how knowledgeable she is and determined and also personable and kind. Definitely an asset to the music industry!

*correction in the interview, Leigh Henrich wanted me to let you know she misspoke and said Nasty Girl but she meant to say Nasty Little Man.

Self care this week is: listening to Christmas Carols, setting boundaries to focus on personal priorities, and reaching out to friends to spend some much needed time.

#46 Liz Baker (Broadway Arts) / Rachael Pazdan (The HUM Series) "The Power of Faith and Women Collaborating"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 5 Dec 2018 18:00:00 +0000

ONE MORE WEEK and Shana returns. Calling in from Ohio today.

As we begin playing clips from the film RBG, we are still circling this conversation around anger as we ponder Associate Justice Ginsburg's mother's advice to her, "Be a lady, don’t be overcome by useless emotions like anger." Useless? Is it? Let us know what you think!

Our first guest today is Liz Baker, a Kingston community builder and uplifter who co-founded Broadway Arts as a place to bring community together and encourage creative activity and a celebration of the arts. Liz shares about the challenges of her youth, her mother's nervous breakdown, being in an out of trouble, living in foster homes and becoming pregnant at a very young age. When she experienced a life threatening automobile accident where the doctor's said she would never walk again, she began to take back her life and lean on her faith to not only walk again but to turn things around for herself. She's been active in pushing to repair police relations in her community after her son was wrongly attacked and tased by police just because his shorts' color matched the description of the someone the police were looking for. What makes Liz most happy? Spending time with her family. You can find Liz at the new juice bar opening at Broadway Arts in a few weeks, and wish her a happy birthday on December 18th!

Our second guest today is Rachael Pazdan. Former talent buyer for Le Poison Rouge in NYC, she is now curating and promoting through her own company Hypnocraft. She is also the creator of the HUM Series, "a unique all-female collaborative music series where female musicians collaborate, write, and perform new material live, in the center of the room, for the very first time. The Hum’s mission is to highlight the double standard in the industry that makes it unusual for audiences to experience a night of music composed entirely by women". As a kid Rachael just knew she was going to be at the head of something, she just didn't know it would be women in music. After overcoming an intense injury, she moved to NYC with determination, seems like a classic story, but her innovation and grit got her even further. Take a listen!

Self care time! Shana is listening to her body. She may not always like what it's saying, but she is promising to listen to it. She's also using lots of products from Dana Ronquist's line of herbal products. Theresa gives her new moon reading about wish fulfillment from the Anahata chakra wish-fulfilling tree...wish big but be careful what you wish for! New Moon this Friday, blessings to all!

#45 Sarah Bisceglie (Renaissance Woman) / Jeanne Brooks (Pleasure Activist) "Working Towards Humanity Centered Design"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 28 Nov 2018 18:00:00 +0000

Theresa is flying solo today while Shana is out on tour and winding her way back east!

Theresa welcomes guests Sarah Bisceglie founder of SEB Visions and Jeanne Brooks founder of Virago Futures for a lively show about anger, energy, healing, design thinking and truth telling. Sarah's work can be summed up as striving to make the world a better place by scaling great ideas. As a trained artist and healer, she integrates her many talents and passions into her visioning work to build mission driven organizations. Jeanne Brooks describes herself as an earth healer, energy worker, pleasure activist and community organizer who works in a heart-centered way to shift the systems of oppression and misogyny that exist within the "distressed patriarchal" world we currently live in. The two are collaborating on Truth Telling Playshops intended to help us live more fully in our authentic selves. We talk about the power and importance of feeling and seeing our anger (particularly as women), the need for greater safety and appreciation in our society, self care and speaking of...why social media is bad for all of us (maybe that's a Theresa characterization). It was hard to slow the conversation down. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Today’s show was engineered by Warren Lawerence of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.
We heard music from Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/, and audio from the film, She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry, http://www.shesbeautifulwhenshesangry.com

#44 Nada Khodlova (Dance Therapist) / Andrya Ambro (Gold Dime) "Feeling Comfortable In Your Own Skin"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 18:00:00 +0000

Hello listeners! Hello! Happy gratitude week. Shana is calling in from the road, she's in the middle of her tour and at her mom's in Oregon on the west coast. We are wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving, and we talk about gratitude today.

Our first guest is Nada Khodlova a licensed Creative Arts Therapist and Board Certified Dance Movement Psychotherapist. Nada has served so many over the years in a clinical setting and is now bringing the healing art of dance to women and girls as The Dancing Web. Dance was a healing source for her early on. She was very self conscious of her body as a young person, and studying dance helped her move into her discomfort and feel more comfortable in her own skin. Dance therapy works because the body, mind and spirit are connected, everything we experience is stored in our body, she discusses how words can't capture everything, so movement is more direct as a therapy, finding stories, sharing stories through movement. She shares about working in an adult psychiatric wing of a hospital, mostly dealing with crisis patience, and helped develop an arts therapy program.

Our second guest is Andrya Ambro of the band Gold Dime. Shana met her when she was doing sound for the Kim Gordon / Body-Head show at BSP last July. She was previously in a band called Talk Normal, and has done sound at Tonic and the Kitchen in NYC. As a female sound engineer she's a rarity!!! After majoring in jazz performance at NYU she developed her own sound, and being a drummer who primarily stands while drumming, she really stood out. She talks about having to work extra hard as a kid with learning disabilities, and also admits that she loves to practice, but performing is terrifying for her, but she moves through her fear, she doesn't let it hold her back. Her sound is very experimental and angular, she writes all the music and has her band play what she wrote and then she plays drums and sings, it's really incredible, check out her interview!

Not only is tomorrow Thanksgiving, but it's a FULL MOON tomorrow night so after you're done with your meal, don't forget to make time for your Full Moon ritual. It's time for the women to bring back the sacred rituals that have been lost over time. Eat and be merry, and listen to your belly to know when it's full. Happy Thanksgiving!

Today’s show was engineered by Manuel Blas of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.
We heard music from Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/, Gold Dime , and audio from the film, She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry, http://www.shesbeautifulwhenshesangry.com

#43 Valeria Gheorghiu (Activist Attorney)/ Que Sera (Streetlight Boutique) "Living Cooperatively and Creatively"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 14 Nov 2018 18:00:00 +0000

Hello Hello! Shana is calling in from Santa Barbara, and still out on tour.

During the week Theresa and Shana share various articles and podcasts with each other, this week Shana sent Theresa a new This American Life podcast episode "But That's What Happened", it peeks into the secret conversations that happen in the Mormon religion between bishops and young women and men around sexuality. Check it out and let us know what you think, it might be cathartic for those of you who have experienced this but never felt like you could talk about it! Theresa shared the article "#MeToo Will Not Survive Unless We Recognize Toxic Femininity". This is a topic we also want to explore more, it calls out women in the #metoo movement to own their own toxic behavior: "Until it (the movement) admits that women can be as manipulative and creepy and generally awful as men, the movement will continue to send a message that we’re not really whole people. And why would anyone believe someone like that?" Read it and tell us what YOU think!!!

Our first guest, Valeria Gheorghiu is an activist attorney who studied environmental and civil rights law and who is now incorporating restorative justice into her work. You can check out her website is HERE . Since college, she's been working to protect workers right, the earth and Indigenous Peoples rights and culture. She was naturally drawn to this work having learned about Starhawk and the destruction of paganism as a young child, and as an immigrant whose family was forced from their land and community in Romania. She's been cleaning the forests of garbage since age 12 on earth day, and works to live sustainably herself in a cooperative way with the earth and others and helps others do the same through her cooperative law work. Valeria came to Restorative Justice as a natural progression from her indigenous peoples advocacy and cooperative living and working. Restorative Justice empowers communities to resolve their own conflicts in a way where everyone is able transform and society benefits, #wisdomkeepers.

Our second guest today is Que Sera. DJ, mother, musician, performer, educator and free thinker! She lives in Brooklyn NY with her husband and collaborator Rahlou. Together they have a project called Streetlight Boutique which we feature in this interview. She shares about home schooling her and Ralou's boys, and working as an educator at the Park Avenue Armoury. Originally from Haiti, she had a very community oriented upbringing, she is worldly and exotic. Such a pleasure interviewing her for this, Shana was truly blown away by the abundant life she has and how she is raising her sons, not to mention the night life she is able to have as a performer, she really has it all! ENJOY!

Self Care is COMPLICATED!!!
A quote that Shana heard recently on the She's All Fat podcast in their self-care section is "people who struggle with self-care are usually really good at taking care of others, so the key is to see yourself as another person in your life".... how cool is that!? Be your own best friend!

Today’s show was engineered by Manuel Blas of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.
We heard music from Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/, Streetlight Boutique, and audio from the film, She’s Beautiful When She’s Angry, http://www.shesbeautifulwhenshesangry.com

#42 Donna Costello (Choreographer) / Reverend Jordan Scruggs (Modern Spirituality) "Process Junky and Modern Day Spirituality"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 7 Nov 2018 18:00:00 +0000

Happy election results! Let's hear it for the rainbow!!! And the women who are a part of that rainbow. It's about time politics looked different. As this NY Times Article explores, the women "marched, they ran, and on Election Day, they won." Way to do it ladies, of both parties!

Shana's calling in from the road on her 2018 Fall Tour, and today she and Theresa thanked all of those who volunteered and canvassed and worked so hard against the odds to get their candidates elected. Congratulations to Antonio Delgado, Juan Figueroa, and Jen Metzger with the big wins in our region. We discussed the type of perseverance it takes to run a political campaign. S

Our first guest is Donna Costello, choreographer and dance educator at the Park Avenue Armory in NYC. She's been a dancer her whole life, and managed to move quite quickly into her success in NYC. She calls herself a 'process junkie' and she gets into how to create a free and honest atmosphere when working in a group so that there can be a good work flow and creative feedback. She loves teaching but she also loves collaborating, and recently created Jitterbug and the Aftermath, a movement theater duet. This work was presented in 2018 at the Estrogenius Festival in the East Village and at Definitive Figures, A FemFest of Performance, a festival that Donna and Jenny Sargent conceived & produced together in New Orleans holding space for over 10 inspiring femme and female-identifying artists of mixed disciplines. This interview really dives into the world of dance expression and artistry.

Our second guest is Reverend Jordan Scruggs, Deacon and Community of Ministries Director at Saint James United Methodist Church in Kingston, NY. In her role at the Church Jordan is broadly focused on the alleviation of poverty which translates into some truly beautiful community building activities like "Waffle Church" and the transformation of a neighboring Church building into a community driven center open to all regardless of faith. . She quotes Martin Luther King Jr., "The Arc of the Moral Universe Is Long, But It Bends Toward Justice," when asked about how we overcome the conflicts we are experiencing politically and spiritually in our country. She hopes that we will learn to celebrate diversity rather than pretend our differences don't exist, and when asked about how she reconciles the role women have historically played or rather not played in religion, she sums it up with her impression that God is your Mother. Amen to that!

#41 Jude-Laure Denis (Community Activist) / Pandora (Wiccan-Priestess & Artist) "Liberating Yourself"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 31 Oct 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Hello Hello! Happy Halloweeeeeen!!! Theresa is BACK and in the house

Today on the show we premiered Shana's new Depeche Mode cover track of "Stripped" .

Our first interview today is Anne Brannen, aka Pandora. She is a Wiccan Priestess, also works in reclaiming the Feri tradition, she is a retired professor of Medieval Studies, now living with her wife in Albuquerque New Mexico. She is pursuing her artistic and poetic side after years of other musings. Shana originally heard her interviewed on the Ask Pomegranate Podcast Ep 14, it's a great interview as well, she talked about her 30 years of sobriety and her spiritual coaching, teaching online courses in magic, so Shana reached out and worked with Pandora last year. When reaching out for this interview, it was made clear that her new life is in exploring her artistic side with art classes and reclaiming her inner child. So this interview is multifaceted exploring a bit of the past but mostly focusing on what it's like to move into the last 1/3 of your life, letting go of your identity as it were and becoming someone you once knew but had sort of forgotten!

Jude arrived! Our second guest is Jude-Laure Denis, a queer Haitian Buddhist activist focused on unpacking the barriers white supremacy creates to building Beloved Community. As the former Executive Director of POWER (Pennsylvanians Organized to Witness, Empower & Rebuild) Northeast, Jude is no stranger to community action and activism. She is committed to fostering truly healthy, inclusive and just communities by building a multi-racial justice movement that is predicated on a clear understanding of both how white supremacy and white domination operate at a systemic and individual level, and how oppression negatively impacts us all.

#40 DJ Ali Gruber (Get Down Upstate) / Gabrielle Hill (Restorative Justice) "Michael Jackson Dance Party Queen and Circle Keeper"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 24 Oct 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Hello listeners!!! Theresa called in from the badlands in South Dakota!! Check out her instagram for photos from her current road-trip HERE appropriately tagged #theresagongswest. In our catch up opening discussion Theresa tells us a story about The Moon Maiden of the Cahuilla tribe and their folklore or the creation of the moon! And what would you know, today's the full moon. Good job T.... Theresa reminds us that the moon is symbolic of water, water is very healing, when we work with water it has this transformative power, what do YOU want to transform? Check out MYSTICMAMMA for some guidance!!!

Our first guest today is Ali Gruber, aka DJ Ali Spins of Get Down Upstate. She's been a DJ spinning vinyl for over 10 years now! After graduating from Suny New Paltz, she met her partner Louis and became a vegetarian chef cooking in the Hudson Valley, she coined herself Souper Woman! Around 2008 Ali started DJing, she inherited 2 purple turn tables and used her eclectic record collection and created one of the funnest parties around these parts! Also around that time her partner was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. The conversation goes through her navigation of growing her DJ career, caring for her now disabled partner, buying an old house in Kingston and having an unexpected magical baby. She's incredibly inspiring, she's self motivated and has amazing endurance and a great sense of humor. I think you will really enjoy this interview!

Our second guest today is Gabrielle Hill who was interviewed by Theresa a few weeks ago when they were meeting to speak about bringing some Restorative Justice work to Kingston. Gabrielle is a vital member of her Newburgh community and a Circle Keeper at the Restorative Center. She shares about the Circle practice and how it creates a safe place for community members to move through conflict with one another, how it is about listening to learn and not to reply, and how it creates a space where no one is made to feel inferior. She is passionate about finding our commonality in community while celebrating our differences. Gabrielle is a positive force for good who seeks out gratitude daily.

#39 Lisa Padovani (Costume Designer) / Emma's Revolution (Music Activists) "Stay Positive and Sing Out Your Angry Soul"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 17 Oct 2018 17:00:00 +0000

On today's show Shana's co- host is Lisa Padovani! She is a dynamic costume designer, best known for her work on Party Monster, Mad Men, Gotham and Boardwalk Empire (to name only a few)... we begin:

Have you all seen the show Transparent yet? Lisa just listened to an interview with creator Jill Soloway on NPR about her new book "She Wants It: Desire, Power and Toppling the Patriarchy" . Lisa loved the interview of course, Jill is fascinating, but she was noticing the challenge non gender conforming language. mostly because it is not proper english!!! Lisa has a little school teacher inside of her as she explains, and to call a singular person 'they/them/their' just isn't correct language.. Lisa muses.. we need a better word to refer to our non conforming friends!

Lisa has worked with the top of the top in terms of Hollywood, but she creates a fun, down to earth and pleasant work environment for everyone. One of her "secrets" is acknowledging the cast and crew on set first thing in the morning, greeting everyone with a smile, "paying it forward, our energy carries over to one another, so having a fun peaceful workday starts with this positive gesture"... WE LOVE THAT!!! She also really seems to understand humor and the importance of keeping things light and creative. What is challenging about costume design? "when you are working with an actor you've grown up admiring your whole life, like Robert DeNiro, and he's going to be standing in front of you in his underwear and you have to dress him"...omg omg. PS, here's that L7 Doc Lisa was watching.

Our second guests today are Pat Humphries and Sandy O of the band Emma's Revolution. They came into our studio amidst teaching an intuitive song-writing workshop this week at Omega! Their workshop is focused on exploring the craft of songwriting—with a focus on the issues of our times. Quote from their bio: "Songwriting is an innate human skill. As children, we spontaneously make up songs about whatever we’re experiencing in our lives. In this workshop we create space that nurtures our most inspired selves. We delve into exercises that cultivate an intuitive, playful relationship with words and melody, allowing us to create songs that speak to what’s in our heart."

Here's a Dharma Punx Podcast to check out for mediation! https://www.dharmapunxnyc.com/

#38 Khadijah Ward (EVOLVE) / Joan Ffolliot (Ffolliot Design) "Deep Connection to the Earth, Art As Language"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 10 Oct 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Hello listeners! How are you? Shana here... Theresa is calling in from the road, she's on her way to Joshua Tree in California for a (((gong)))) retreat!! Amazing right? When we were discussing what to talk about today on our show, I mentioned the NY Times podcast "The Daily", they ran an interview with high schoolers in NYC talking about their take on the Kavanaugh decision it's called , "Who Is Believed and Who is Blamed". . Ultimately we wanted to just give a shout out to women who maybe experiencing trauma and fear because of the senates confirmation of judge Kavanaugh.

Our first guest, Khadijah Ward, sat down with Theresa a few weeks ago for this special interview. Khadijah comes from a mixed racial family long before society was accepting of that type of love. Her family moved from the Bronx to "the country" in the late 1950's which set the foundation for her feeling most at home in mother nature. Khadijah's deep connection to the earth is also reflected in her appreciation for all of the earth's creations, preferring diversity over homogeneity, or as Bruce Lipton describes, it takes all colors of the rainbow to create light. Khadijah now works at FAMILY of Woodstock as the program administrator for EVOLVE, a batterer's intervention program. To keep life balanced and stress at bay, she's plays in a shekere group called the Good Gourd and makes sure to get in her well deserved vacation time. She herself is one of the bright lights of the Kingston community, and we are grateful to have her as a guest.

Our second guest is designer and artist Joan Ffolliot of Ffolliot Design here in the Hudson Valley. Shana met her through her house painting work, she is a distributor of C2 paint and also a colorist and designer for some of Shana's clientele. RISD graduate and educator at Woodstock School of Art, color consultant and cabinet maker, she has had a lot of experience in transforming environments and homes all over the Hudson Valley. We dove into her arts education back ground and importance of understanding what you're trying to convey, what are you wanting others to experience, and are you 'hitting your mark' or not. In working this way she really is able to intimately help her clients understand their home or project as art, as a piece of work that they are collaborating in. We also talked about setting boundaries with clients, and experiencing self-worth even in a work dynamic that can set clients and workers in an awkward power dynamic instead of equals working on a project together. Go Team!

Self care! Yes... oh yess... that thing we try and fit in every damn day. Joan stayed with us for the conversation! Theresa chimed in about the idea that it IS self care to communicate your needs, to stand up for yourself, to say no, to move on if needed. YES YES YES!

#37 Tani Ikeda (#survivorloveletter ) / Kate Steciw (Multi-Media Artist) "Celebrating Survivors and Communicating Through Images"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 3 Oct 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Hello everyone! Some quick shoutouts today in the beginning of our show. The Ruth Bader Ginsburg Documentary we've all been waiting for RBG is now online! We will be grabbing clips from the movie and playing them on our show in the future, so excited for this! You can watch it at home here. Shana is also again reminding us to make sure we are registered to vote, and for all questions voting related you can go to Vote Save America, fast and easy website to help you get ready for our upcoming elections.

Our first guest, Tani Ikeda, is an Emmy winning director who creates narratives, documentaries, music videos, and commercial films. She was recently selected as one of Sundance's 2018 intensive screenwriting lab's fellows and was also named one of Film Independent’s 33 Emerging Filmmakers as a Project: Involve Directors Fellow. Tani was an Executive Producer and Director on the Blackpills Documentary TV Series "Resist" with Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors about the fight against LA County's 3.5 billion dollar jail plan, and she's a co-founder of the nonprofit, imMEDIAte Justice, a nonprofit that fosters the talents of young women artists working in virtual reality. She is going to be apart of the O+ Festival here in Kingston NY this weekend leading a workshop on Sunday morning at 10am as a part of her #survivorloveletter project which began from a love letter she'd written herself on the anniversary of her own sexual assault. She felt it was important to confront the shame, silence and secrecy and give voice not only to herself but to also hold space for other women to write love letters to themselves. You can read and explore the love letters here and send your own love letters to be shared online. As further means of celebrating survivors, Tani is working with muralists Jess X. Snow and Layqa Nuna Yawar to create a large scale image of a survivor with accompanied augmented reality showing the transformation and resilience of survivors along with survivor love letters from the collective.

Our second guest, Kate Steciw, is an artist who works in sculpture, photography, video and image manipulation who explores the collision between representation and materialization. Born in Bethlehem, PA, she went to Smith College to study quantitative group behavior via sociology and political science, but after taking a photography course in her Junior year, something shifted for her. She fell in love with art and continued on to grad school at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Kate shares about her experience discovering the nuance of the "image" and delving into the differences between commercial art versus creative art...is there a difference? Her journey is greatly about communicating through images both as an art consumer and an art producer.

Self care...just turn on some music if the news is getting to tough for you. It's OK to take a BREAK! And tune into the New Moon on Monday...if you're seeing patterns in your life, now is the time to listen for ways to break the patterns. OH, and Shana says, it's Fall, eat apple crisp with vanilla ice cream, and take epsom salt baths with clary sage.

#36 Stephanie Monseu (Bindlestiff Family Cirkus ) / Ariana González Stokas (Inclusive Excellence, Bard College) "Cirkus Arts and Belief in the Common Good"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 26 Sep 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Today on the show we honor our local community and their work on the #metoo Kingston panel that was held at lastnight at our local LGBTQ center. Also we discuss the Kavanaugh protests, and the power of young Yale women speaking out for the future of women's rights. Shana also wanted to share New York Times, The Daily podcast on revisiting what happened to Anita Hill in 1991 and what is happening today with Kavanaugh. How far have we come?

Our first guest is Stephanie Monseu, co-founder of the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus and now new ring mistress of Big Apple Circus!!! Shana recorded this interview last winter 2018, and is timely to air it now that she has this new role to show how this very powerful woman has a history of empowering youth through circus performance, community building, and how she brings all this to her new role as the first female ring master at Big Apple! She dives deep into the metaphors of using circus arts to help youth deal with real life fears, and she discusses how she and her community have been bridging the gap of the gentrification that is very present right now in all communities in the Hudson Valley.

Our second guest is Ariana González Stokas. Ariana is Dean for Inclusive Excellence at Bard Collage . Ariana is also an educator in Latin American and Caribbean Philosophy. Being from Puerto Rican heritage, she has a personal fascination with her own culture. She talks about being a "systems worker, or systems thinker", she refers to the system of global capital and how it facilities "whiteness and maleness", and how our institutions are embodiments of that greater dynamic. She's interested in naming the cause and the solutions for these systems, we know there's a-lot there!

Self Care? What's that?!!!! Shana's self care tip is her daily ritual of taking her Tulsi tincture and setting an intention for the day! Her tincture is made by Dana Ronquist, massage therapist and recent herb school graduate, you too can grab golden hour botanical. Theresa shares about her friends Tara's free Trauma Sensitive Yoga class.

#35 Beth Bengtson (Working for Women) / Jem Violet (Trans Singer-Songwriter) "Women Supporting Women and Queer Life in Music"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 17:16:00 +0000

Hello lady listeners, how are you? Busy? We are! We still find the time tho to keep up with women in politics. In keeping with supporting the #metoo movement, we talk about the need to keep supporting women who are coming forth with their stories of sexual harassment and abuse. The COURAGE it takes to come forward!!! Please believe the women! Shout out Hillary Harvey's "The Voice" show here at Radio Kingston, she interviewed two local women who were arrested at the Brett Kavanaugh supreme court confirmation hearings.

Our first guest, Beth Bengtson founded "Working for Women" in early 2018. W4W's mission is to support other nonprofits who help women enter or stay in the workforce. Beth's work to support women really began years earlier when she and her former business partner incorporated a 1% give back of their company's revenue to women's needs. Beth saw the bigger need of supporting women focused non-profits on a bigger scale and shares how she had to overcome her own self doubts about herself being the one to lead those efforts. She talks about dissecting the barriers that we put on ourselves and moving through the discomfort of becoming who you need to be in order to do the thing. One of the local organizations they partner with is Raising Hope here in Kingston, a mentoring program for women supporting women, but there are so many check out their website which is re-launching early October with a way for you to get engaged.

Our second guest is the adorable Jem Violet. She is a trans singer-songwriter / performer here in the Hudson Valley. A quote from Jem's instagram: "Choosing to allow myself to be seen as trans - to be seen as who I am - has been the most difficult, meaningful, and joyful thing I have ever done. To all of those who are unable to be seen as they want right now: I believe in you and you have my solidarity and support." Jem shares about how being bullied as a child affected her and how it shapes her perception of herself and the world. When asked about the transition from boy to girl, she explains how her experience is bigger than being a female in a male body. Jem volunteers at the LGBTQ Center by facilitating a group for gender non-conforming and queer teens and guides them to understand that they are the absolute authority on their own person and that no one can take away their truth.

For self-care we get two special guests, Beetle and Freedom Walker, co-hosts of The Black Meta on Radio Kingston. They share the ways in which they meditate and take care of themselves, sometimes with their pirate voice. Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day! Beetles dream come true. Next week we welcome Ariana Gonzales, teacher, artist, mother and host of the Common Good on Radio Kingston and Stephanie Monseu, Co-found of Bindlestiff Family Cirkus.

#34 Jessica Dupont (Half Moon Books) / Allison Braun (STDR Hobby Festival) "Books On My Shelf and Learning New Hobbies"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 12 Sep 2018 17:00:00 +0000

JUST DO IT! Theresa gives a shout out to NIKE and their endorsement of Colin Kaepernick, (and surprisingly Shana reveals that she said 'no' to NIKE licensing one of her songs back in the day..wha??) Since tomorrow are the NY primaries we also talk about some of the candidates that are running, and we both agree that we feel we are due for a change in NY politics! One of Shana's favorite political podcasts, Pod Save America aired an interview with Stephanie Shriock of Emily's List and Shana wanted to play an edited version of the conversation on our show. They are an inspiring look into women in politics today, and maybe it will keep you feeling inspired as well. :)

Our first guest is Jessica Dupont of Half Moon Books . She tells us a story of walking by the then for sale book store while waiting to pick up a pizza for her young family and how she decided that she wanted to buy the store and within 6 months she did! She says that owning the store was likened to being a new mom, you don't have the answers, you just have to figure it out. "It's better that I didn't know the challenges of running a bookstore because I might not have taken the leap!" Jessica shares her approach to shelving the books in her store which breaks down the black/white, male/female categories that keep us reading the same words by the same people, changing our perspectives and the world one shelf at a time!

Our second guest is Allison Braun of "Smell the Damn Roses" hobby festival this Sept 22nd in Stone Ridge NY. Born with a disease where her body continuously produces cysts, she underwent a major surgery around the age of 6-7 which stopped the outbreaks of cysts but a series of subsequent surgeries to remove them from her body left scarring on her left arm. She reflected on her perspective of her illness and how it didn't truly affect her until other people started looking at and treating her differently. Because she spent a lot of time alone, she's well practiced in the art of self-reflection and looking within which lead her to a love of hobbies. Her philosophy on life, work for something you love or is important to you. "Adulting can wait until tomorrow."

Self care, Theresa shares from the book The Radiance Sutras about listening to your heart's song. Shana shares her experience in processing the passing of a friend. "Any moment of wounding immediately produces a healing response from life." The Radiance Sutras As always we included clips from the documentary "She's Beautiful When She's Angry" Next week on the show we have Beth Bengston, founder of the non-profit Working for Women, and trans musician Jem Violet

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 5 Sep 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Today on the show Shana and Theresa dive into their own personal stories around gynecology. Shana shares about her early years on birth control pills and near cancerous HPV diagnosis in her early 30's. And Theresa shares about her recent experiences getting much closer with gynecologists through her struggle trying to control her hormones both before and after IVF. We play a clip from the documentary 'She's Beautiful When She's Angry' on the women's movement and women's reproductive rights and their bodies. Somehow we just never have enough time with our guests, but we tried to cover as much as possible.

Our first guest Dr. Amy Novatt is a fierce feminist and felt that gynecology was a perfect fit for her. She believes that women's health is in jeopardy with our current political climate. She is firm believer that how we vote will immediately show up in our health care access. She explains all different kinds of contraception, the importance of pap smears, the confusion of perimenopause, and encourages us to speak up with our doctors and ask questions. WHEW! Everything Vagina!

Our second guest Eryn Stutts is chef and owner of Pakt Restaurant here in Midtown Kingston. Eryn is a planner and a goal setter, and is conscious of the various phases of her life. Right now she's in a phase of hosting other people's lives, as opposed to focusing on her own stuff, and part of that is the upcoming event, Hogtied, an LGBTQ Hoedown. Eryn started cooking as a way to destress from the workday. Despite being an early successful plus-sized model and having her own fashion line, Eryn decided to leave the fashion world behind when she realized that she enjoyed cooking for private clients more than she enjoyed designing from her cubicle. Jumping ship for greener pastures, Eryn landed in the Hudson Valley where she collaborates with like minded friends and neighbors and makes southern comfort food that hugs you back

Self care? Well, we talked about food of course. How well prepared food makes us feel good, and how making time for the sacredness in food is healing to us.

#32 Judy Linn (Patti Smith 1969-1976 : Photographs) / Jessica Vecchione (Smacked Documentary) "Photographs of the Imaginary Past"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 29 Aug 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Today we're shouting out to Vote Save America, AND the NY Times podcast from last weekend, The Last "Year of the Woman".

Our first guest is Judy Linn, photographer and Vassar professor, best known for her book Patti Smith 1969-1976 : Photographs by Judy Linn. Judy talks about her relationship to photography which started out quite rocky and quickly becomes the thing that she needs to try and figure out leading her to a lifelong relationship with the art form, and a very successful career. Judy has had portfolios published in Artforum and BOMB magazine, and her photographs are included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Detroit Art Institute, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Getty Collection, among others. She has received an award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and grants from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, Anonymous Was A Woman, and the Peter S. Reed Foundation. Judy shares so honestly about her life and her unique perspectives including her belief that all photographs lie. She's working on another book of photography taken in the early 70's from her time in Detroit working for a local paper. Can't wait for this...hint, bouffant hair and pointy collars.

Our second guest is Jessica Vecchione, videographer and documentarian. Her company is Vecc Videography, she's been an accomplished videographer in the Hudson Valley for over 20 years. She recently released SMACKED, her new documentary film about the opiate crisis. This 69 minute film was her way of truly uncovering all that is happening with the police, the health care system, and those who struggle with the addiction. Jessica shares how she really broke through in film by making a documentary about the town of Fleischmans. She works with many nonprofits in the Hudson Valley and across New York State. Jessica's advice to aspiring videographers/filmmakers, just do it, follow your passion, and be kind along the way

Self care! Be KIND!!! Move from the heart space. Don't fall into the patriarchal trap of operating from the analytical mind.

#31 Tina Barry (The Virginia Project) / Carolina Soto (Life After Incarceration) "Telling the Untold Stories of Women"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 22 Aug 2018 17:00:00 +0000

We're shouting out Emily Furr (full disclosure, she's Theresa friend) and Emily's amazingly feminist visual art show!

Our first guest is Tina Barry, writer and author of Mall Flower who is working on a special art exhibit called The Virgina Project. The Virginia Project is a visual depiction of the fictionalized stories of Virginia Haggard and Jean McNeil. Tired of women like Haggard being eclipsed in history by their famous partners, Tina began crafting a mostly fictionalized account of Haggard and McNeil’s two years in High Falls, NY. In Barry’s pieces, Haggard and McNeil tell their stories. The Virginia Project is a unique collaboration between Tina and her stories and 14 mostly Hudson Valley-based women artists working in styles that range from realistic illustration to conceptual installation to interpret Tina's stories.

Our second special guest, Carolina Soto, is a formerly incarcerated woman who now works to help other women re-enter after being incarcerated and to change the incarceration system as a whole. An activist from a young age, Carolina shares her incredible stories from her time in prison and the deep friendships/family that she formed there. As the inspiration for Yoga Janet, a character in the book, Orange is the New Black, she became the resident yoga teacher while in prison. Carolina shares how being grateful and knowing how to forgive others as well as herself helps keep her happy despite all that she's seen and experienced in her life. She is part of the movement to end women's incarceration via her work with the National Council of Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls and Hope House. Shocking fact... 76% of women in prison have been sexually molested or violated. She's working with and on a panel this October with Youth Arts NY talking about women and incarceration. Finally, if you are someone formerly incarcerated and want to apply for leadership training, you can apply HERE

Self Care...hmmm, to sum it up. Be true to yourself. "When we attend to our own growth and learning in the area of our interests, we are engaged in the joy and challenge of building ourselves. From the fullness of our own talent and skill, we automatically serve the world rather than steal from it." Deborah Adele

#30 Lauree Ostrofsky (Simply Leap) / G.T. Thomas (Musician, Songwriter) "Tuning In and Following the Goosebumps"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 15 Aug 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Yay, another episode full of amazingness! First, we check in and give a little nod to the plusses of social media, massage therapist Dana Ronquist and a video Shana saw on Dana's Facebook page celebrating full figured humans.

It's time for a HOT FLASH and today Shana is blowing off some steam about all the pundits who insist upon focusing on the negative. INSTEAD support Solutions Journalism. There are certainly others, but Solutions Journalism is an example of how we can do journalism differently, and they aggregate stories and news-reporting that is focusing on the solution and not just the problem in their story tracker. Check them out!

Lauree Ostrofsky, founder of Simply Leap and Hudson Valley Women in Business, author, coach and hugger joins us in the studio to share her amazing personal story of healing from a brain tumor, brain surgery and meningitis and how that led her to transform her life and open Simply Leap, her coaching business.

Next up, G.T. Thomas, musician and creative companion has been making music in recording studios and on international stages since 1999, including collaborations with the Fleet Foxes, B52's, Betty Seveert and so many more.

Self care! Take care of yourself! Turn of the devices and disconnect from the news, especially if it's negative. Love your body, your whole self, your thunder thighs! Search for the positive, create, find joy, and gratitude. Ok, we only talked about some of that stuff in self care, but we ran out of time.

#29 Jacinta Bunnell (Girls Will Be Boys, Coloring Book) / Jenny Shulkin (Ooh LaLoom) "Coloring Outside the Lines, Weaving and Dying"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 8 Aug 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Today Shana and Theresa Girl Talk on the state of #metoo after tuning into 1A's coverage of CBS's handling of the allegations against Les Moonves and how corporations are preparing across the board for continued allegations to surface.

Jacinta Bunnell brightens the studio with her creativity and enthusiasm for her feelings. Jacinta is an artist, activist, author and co-founder of B.R.A.W.L. She shares how studying Philosophy helped to shape her ability to think critically and how that in conjunction with taking care of children helped her to see how important it is to feel safe to color outside the lines. Speaking of, she has 4 very important, Queer positive and gender bending, coloring books that are opening up the lines and the boxes that kids have historically found themselves in. She recently began supporting Planned Parenthood through her art activism where she helps young people create art telling their story about how Planned Parenthood has helped them. You can see all that goodness at iluvplannedparenthood on Instagram. Finally, if you need helping sifting through belongings and getting rid of what you no longer need, Jacinta is the Marie Condo of the Hudson Valley.

Jenny Shulkin of OoLaLoom joins us and talks about how she got into weaving and the intricacies of weaving and dying. How she is finding her way in her craft staying true to herself and the way she wants to be weaving, creating and learning and evolving the business side of her work, and how she stays motivated and pushes through or gives herself permission to stop when she wants to.

Self care today takes us backward, or forward, stuffed animals and how slowing down is important for everything to continue to exist, including YOU! Tune into the podcast Secret Feminist Agenda that Shana recommends if you want to learn more about the art of slow everything and how stuffed animals may save your health and your sanity. Theresa talks about mantra...again, and one of her favorite musicians, Erika Wennerstrom, and how her lyrics have been her mantra when times get tough. Erika has a new-ish album out that is all about self-love, yeah! Go and get it and watch those mantras running in your head.

Next week we welcome GT Thomas, musician and artist and Lauree Ostrofsky, Author, Career Coach, Hugger, Founder of Simply Leap, LLC and Hudson Valley Women in Business. Until next week, love yourself and uplift one another.

#28 Theresa's Nieces (Roadtrippin) / Jamie Sanin (CelebrateWomxn845) "Being a Girl and Supporting Womxn"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 1 Aug 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Shana's holding down the studio while Theresa is reporting in from Wisconsin. In Girl Talk, we talk about a new show idea of street interviews of hip grannies that Shana has affectionately dubbed "biddies." Which leads us to a shout out to Antonio from la Voz and his coverage of Grannies Respond and their caravan to the border at Texas to protest the government's treatment of immigrants seeking asylum. Then Shana and Theresa take a trip down memory lane to talk about life as they remembered it as a 5th grader, what it means to be a cool kid, and the challenges of not feeling like one.

Intro to Theresa's roadtrippin interview with her nieces Eva (9 years old) and Amelia (12 years old) which was recently recorded on a car trip where Theresa tries to get into the head of a young girl. They are big into Youtube, no surprise there, like to dance, play sports, do math, and go tubing.

Our in studio guest is Jamie Sanin, artist and educator who works for Orange County Arts Council and founded CelebrateWomxn845. Jamie shares her memories of being a 5th grader, how she was big into music and choir and how she continues to be an artist and create art to this day. She enjoys breaking down access and the resistance or fear of art from the viewers perspective. How CelebrateWomxn845 began and how it was consciously inclusive of womxn who also identify as.

Self care talk is all about forgiveness today. Both Shana and Theresa have been exploring forgiveness in their own lives and how it feels like a form of self care, so this will probably not be the end of the conversation. If you're looking for support in helping yourself forgive someone else, or even yourself, here's an initial resource that Theresa found which may be helpful to you.

Today's show was engineered by Manuel Blas from Radio Kingston, and we heard music from our very own Shana Falana. Until next week, love yourself and uplift one another!

#27 Poet Gold (Poet Activist) / Anne Macy Hall (Artist/ Photographer) "What's Your Dream?"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 25 Jul 2018 17:00:00 +0000

In this week's Girl Talk, Shana shares with listeners the New York City initiative to include more women in the city's monuments. If you live in one of the five boroughs you can submit your nomination here. Theresa shares about the resistance she is having about being asked to sign an affidavit for a sexual discrimination lawsuit against a former employer and how she found solace in a post shared online at The Nib about why women don't speak up or want to protect the person who's done something wrong. If you're in a similar situation, you may find solace there too.

Poet Gold, published writer, spoken word performance artist, poet, community "artivist," Dutchess County Poet Laurette and active member of Arts Mid-Hudson and the Artist Action Network, joins us in the studio and shares her perspective on life. Gold speaks about cultivating gratitude, praying everyday, writing when she is so moved, being inspired by others, spreading spoken word and poetry and uplifting others. She's formed BGW, Inc. a consulting and edutainment business and is starting “DREAM Out Loud” poetry workshop to help people recognize their dreams. Gold is the instigator of Poelodies, a space for others to share their poetry and spoken word Live at the Falcon Underground every 4th Wednesday of the month (that's TONIGHT) and is the MC at Newburgh’s Open Mic at The Wherehouse every 4th Thursday (that's TOMORROW). You can find her performing at Maverick Concerts this Saturday and running the music scene at the Poughkeepsie O+ Festival next weekend. Here's her performance of "What Would Martin Say?"

Anne Macy Hall, artist and birder, talks about her journey through photography and art, about making a photography book with a former partner that tells a women's love story and how it felt important to bring the female gay perspective to the consciousness, traveling to Iceland, photographing witches, meeting trans-species beings and being immersed in the tranimal world, photographing them using infra-red film, fixing up a Brownstone in Brooklyn, collaborating with animals to make art, moving upstate and founding Catskills Indigo and starting her weekend open studios where anyone can come on July and August Summer Saturdays to learn about dying.

Self care this week takes us to Elizabeth Gilbert's book Big Magic which is inspiring Shana and helping her to strengthen her relationship to her music and her muse and to remember to always remain teachable. Theresa shares from Deborah Adele's book, The Yamas & Niyamas, on the idea on Non-Stealing and how we should rethink the concept of stealing and as far as self-care goes, not steal from ourselves by self-sabotage, lack of belief in ourselves, low self-esteem, judgments, criticisms, demands for perfection, living in the past or the future or putting up walls around ourselves.

Next week we welcome Jamie Sanin, artist, educator and organizer of CelebrateWomxn845. Theresa will be reporting live from WI and will hopefully be sharing some fun interviews of her nieces. Until next week, love yourself and uplift one another.

#26 Tiziana Agnello (Love Thy Beast) / Jill Bressler (Graphic Designer) "Persevering, Taking Risks, and Knowing Yourself"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 18 Jul 2018 17:00:00 +0000

In this week's Girl Talk, Shana and Theresa discuss the New York Public Library's Podcast episode featuring Aja Monet interviewing Roxanne Gay and the documentary film, She's Beautiful When She's Angry.

Tiziana Agnello, Stylist and Founder of sustainable pet accessory line, Love Thy Beast talks about how she made it in NYC starting out with $500. She's shares her journey from student and textile lover finding her dream job at a fabric store to a styling career and eventually the opening of her own business. Her products have been placed in West Elm, Urban Outfitters, Crate and Barrel, and can be found online and at the coveted Grand Central's Holiday Fair. In between her pop up store in Nolita and the opening of her current store on east 5th street in Manhattan she applied and was admitted into Goldman Sachs 10,000 small business cohort. Now she's turning her attention to her own personal self care and a new house in the Hudson Valley.

Jill Bressler, Designer turned purpose-driven UX/UI creative shares how she started out in Journalism but realized quickly that creative work was her passion. From working in magazine design in San Francisco to Showtime in NYC, Jill learned to let go of who she thought she had to be and to define success by what really matters to her...and enjoying the process rather than the goal. Fun facts, Jill loves writing fan letters and listening to Dharmapunx.

Self care this week is all about minding our own business. Stop worrying about the other person, and just focus on you. It takes a lot of the pressure off of this great journey we call life.

Next week we welcome Poet Gold, Performer, Poet and Activist and Anne Macy Hall of Catskill Indigo. Until next week, love yourself and uplift one another.

#25 Cal Patch (Crochet, Entrepeneur) / Hawley Hussie (HHArtLab) "Happiness and Freedom...that's SUCCESS"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 11 Jul 2018 17:00:00 +0000

In this week's Girl Talk, Shana shares a tip on a new podcast from Dana Falsetti, a self defined "fat" yoga teacher who's podcast dives into confidence, authenticity, critical thinking, body justice, inclusivity and awareness. Theresa offers up another Morning Matcha podcast on emotional metabolism with Dr. Habib Sadeghi which she found helpful in better understanding the benefits of mindfulness and not collecting residual emotional build up from moment to moment.

HOT FLASH! Shana's having a hot flash. She's pissed. A woman who will remain unnamed is critical of 12 step programs, and Shana believes, it's all hands on deck. We are in a crisis and these programs are helping people. Haters should just "shut up!"

Our first guest Cal Patch joins us in the studio to talk about moving through her dreams of becoming a designer and a shopkeeper to finding her happy place on a mini-farm in the Hudson Valley where she can crochet, sew, weave, make art, and teach her craft to those who want to learn. She's written a book on pattern making which you can buy from your local bookstore, just ask them to order it for you. Find her in the Valley and beyond teaching and bring your maker self alive.

Hawley Hussey, artist, writer, occasional performer, a living room lounge singer, cold water swimmer, Coney Island Mermaid, educator and activist joins us in the studio to talk about how she's created her current life affirming gig at the HHArtLab which is a contemporary art makers space where newly arrived immigrants and special needs children can deepen their personal art practice and build community. Hawley shares her values in life and how they help her make decisions about what to do and how to do it. She finishes up by serenading Shana and Theresa with her rendition of "God's Plan" by Drake.

Tomorrow's the New Moon, and Theresa shared Mystic Mamma's beautiful words about loving our whole selves, that's ALL the parts!

Stay tuned for next week's show where we invite Tiziana Agnello, owner of Love Thy Beast, and Jill Bressler, Designer turned User Experience expert. Until next week, love yourself and uplift one another.

#23 Shana's Private Journal Entry / Mercedes Samuels (Singer Songwriter) "Intuitive Eating, Loving Yourself and Making Discipline Fun"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Today we switch things up and extend Girl Talk to go deep into Geneen Roth's book, Women Food and God. Shana shares her personal story about her own relationship to food and dieting. After recently dipping back in to dieting after having believed she'd healed her relationship to food and herself, she opened herself up to learning more about the healing that she needs. We talked about the importance of being open to learning about ourselves and to compassionately witnessing ourselves, to listening to our bodies and to ignoring "The Voice" that tells us we're not good enough, can't have what we want or be who we want to be. To be continued next week when we dig into the emotional freedom of working through obsessive/compulsive behavior.

Next we hear Shana's interview with Mercedes Samuels, a musician, who shares her beautiful wisdom, this woman is wise...right now she's reading The Art of Loving and learning about making discipline fun and how to have better concentration.

Next week we hear Shana's interview with Jen Shagawat from Shellshag and dip into FREEDOM! Until next week, love yourself and uplift one another.

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 20 Jun 2018 17:00:00 +0000

In this week's Girl Talk, Shana and Theresa talk about feeling insecure and how social media fuels this.

Maiko Hata, jazz singer, joins us in the studio to talk about being a music therapist and the power of music to heal, how she finally chose to follow her heart and her desire to become a jazz singer, how she struggles with saying no in order to say yes to herself and how she maintains such a mindful and peaceful approach to life. You can follow her on Facebook for updates on her performances or to support her GoFundMe and help get her album out to the masses.

Next up, Rachel Brennecke, aka Bon Jane, artist and photographer, talks about being a former model, how it validated her need to feel good about herself and then how she had to deal with the repercussions of the need to look perfect all the time, on leaving modeling and finding a mentor to get through art school, and finding value in herself and her art in a ever-changing world.

Self care? Try out a cold shower! And act "as if." Why not, can't hurt to try.

Next week we'll be playing an interview with Mercedes Samuels, an inspiring singer who works with the Park Avenue Armory Youth Corp on education and youth empowerment. Until next week, love yourself and uplift one another.

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 6 Jun 2018 17:00:00 +0000

Yeah, yeah, another unenlightened man said something shocking about a woman's place in the world. How do we help people be teachable in these moments? We don't know the answer, but we banter about it today. We gush about Radio Kingston and the power in community radio to present diverse voices and stories so that we can all live more happily together!

Executive director and landscape designer at Earth Designs Cooperative, Aja Hudson joins us in studio and talks about how she learned to prioritize life after cancer with a young daughter by building a worker cooperative and why it's important for us to start moving towards the cooperative model of living and working.

Emily Vail, Estuary Watershed Outreach Specialist at New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and swing dancer and teacher at Uptown Swing, talks about her work studying streams and how this work helps connect the dots across many facets of where we live as she learned when studying the Tannery Brook in Kingston, NY.

Next week we hear interviews with New Paltz High Schoolers Jordan and Emma about their involvement with Girl's Inc. and their experience making their own podcasts on Toxic Masculinity and Conditioning Sexism as well as Allison Lieber who licenses music for bands. Until then, uplift yourself and love one another.

#19 Susan Barnett (51%-NPR)/ Lindsey Mills (Surfer Blood) "Committing to Your Passion and Building Community"

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 30 May 2018 17:00:00 +0000

On today's show Shana shares a plethora of new podcast high fives for us to check out. See below! Theresa confesses her failure to stand up to a leering police officer and wonders what that means about her and her place in feminism.

In studio guest, Susan Barnett, writer and former journalist, TV News Anchor and host of 51% The Women's Perspective, joins us to talk about her life as a journalist and reporter and how she eventually gave it all up to work on her fiction, first with the publication of her book of short stories, The View From Outside, and now her current fictional work about a traveling con-artist who awakens life in a small town which we hopes is available real soon.

Lindsey Mills, touring musician, record label owner and community builder talks about growing up in Florida with parents who nurtured and supported her creative endeavors, what it's like touring and how she keeps community back home.

This week's self care begins with Full Moon words of wisdom from Theresa's favorite mystic, MysticMamma. She reminds us to "ground into the fertile Earth that holds us." Shana and Theresa discuss how to do that when the earth is overwhelmed with ticks. Do DEET or not to DEET, that is the question. Help us!!!

Next week we sit down with Aja Hudson of Earth Designs Cooperative and Emily Vail, Estuary Watershed Outreach Specialist at New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. We heard music from Shana Falana, Lindsey Mills and a portion of an archived recording from WAMC's 51%. Until next week, love yourself and uplift one another!

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 28 Mar 2018 17:00:00 +0000

On today's show Shana and Theresa talk with Rebecca Moore, musician, actor, performance artist, educator, activist and co-founder of Hudson Valley Veg Fest. She talks to us about what it was like growing up in NYC, collaborating with pioneers of the 80's and 90's NYC art scene, making and playing music, and fighting for the rights of artists and tenants during the height of Manhattan's gentrification. Rebecca befriended a chicken at summer camp when she was 10 years old which would forever have a profound impact on who she is and what she does. Now, as a full-time animal rights activist she has The Institute for Animal Happiness , Rebecca talks about the ways she educates others on the agriculture industry, and how she is building a Vegan movement in the Hudson Valley and beyond. Her work is all about creating a culture of compassion which includes compassion for self and others. Words of wisdom from Rebecca, activists, be sure to take care of yourselves, don't fall prey to guilt trips, and surround yourselves with those who support you!

she@iwantwhatshehas.org (Shana Falana and Theresa Widmann) — Wed, 21 Mar 2018 17:00:00 +0000

On today's show Shana and Theresa talk about seeing our shadow, the subconscious parts of our personality and how setting boundaries is a powerful form of self care.

Theresa speaks with Rachel Collet, photographer, about how she's taking a break from her work to build her own home, digging into what the process has been like, and the challenges she's faced doing this as a woman in a predominantly male industry.

Shana speaks with Samantha Stephenson from the band Frenchy and the Punk about life as a touring musician, her experience leading panels on how to have a creative life, and how to follow your joy.

We also dip into the conversation about our new friends at WINGS and IAWRT who we'll be gushing about in future shows. For now, you can check out an interesting interview with Leymah Gwobee from the Liberian women’s peace movement on the WINGS website.

Special guest, Lori Ann King, writer, author, athlete and health and nutrition coach talks about her personal health journey through a hysterectomy, an oophorectomy, and the sudden onset of surgical menopause. Lori's book, Come Back Strong, beautifully depicts her challenges through this journey and the ways she's been able to build back her health and happiness.

Vickie Tanner, a NYC actor, writer and producer, originally from Los Angeles who has worked in film, TV and theatre with Peter Berg, Sir Peter Hall, Donald Margulies and Stacy Cochran. Vickie is the writer and performer of Running Into Me, a solo play which she's performed in NY, L.A. and Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Vickie shares her story about pursuing her dreams as an actor in NYC.

Self care this week takes us to Shana's safe place where she follows her process as she's reminded from her friends who follow theirs. Theresa shares about the balance of light and dark and what that means with accepting our shadow sides as we approach the Spring Equinox next week.

Tune in next week when we welcome special guests, Rachel Collet who will talk about her process in building her own home, and Samantha Stephenson about her life as a touring musician with her husband in the band Frenchy and the Punk.
