Welcome to the 75th episode of Woman Uncaged, which is also our season four finale.

In this episode we’re naming something a lot of us can feel in our bones: the world is speeding up, getting more convenient, more automated and somehow less human. We're interrogating culture, power, convenience, efficiency, and what gets lost when humans outsource too much of our humanness.

What does it mean to stay radically human when the culture keeps training us to live like machines?

We talk about what AI can mimic and why that mimicry can be seductive (and a little creepy). We dig into what machines can’t actually do and we explore why shared experiences matter more than ever (movies in a crowded theater, concerts, dinner without phones, third spaces that aren’t work or home), and why meaning almost never comes from efficiency; even when efficiency is satisfying. If you’ve been noticing your nervous system getting jangly, your attention getting fragmented, or your life getting smaller and more screen-shaped, this episode is an invitation to exhale and to choose differently, because the hunger underneath all of this is simple and profound: we want to be seen, heard, and met by other real, imperfect, alive humans.

Welcome to episode 15, season 4 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In this week's episode we discuss self-care...but maybe not in the way that you would think.

Self-care has become an unquestioned mandate for women. In some ways, of course it is an improvement over the impossible beauty standards of yesteryear (which were solely externally focused), but in other ways, it has become an extension of them, requiring yet another unattainable level of perfection. There is always more that we could be doing for our wellness, ladies!! Not only can this prevent us from leading big, juicy, and joyful lives (a most natural form of self-care!), it also traps us into constantly focusing on fixing and improving ourselves rather than using our energy to change the culture at large.

Welcome to episode 14, season 4 of the Woman Uncaged podcast!

In this episode of the Woman Uncaged Podcast, we dive into one of our favorite end-of-year rituals: choosing a Word of the Year. As we record in December, we’re both deep in reflection mode, looking back at the words that have guided us in past seasons and feeling into what might want to shape the year ahead. We share how this practice first came into our lives, how it has evolved, and why we now approach certain words with a bit more side-eye than we used to.

We talk about the difference between choosing an intention versus a goal, how a single word can act as a lens through which life reveals unexpected wisdom, and how sometimes that wisdom arrives with a biting sense of humor.

We explore the emotional, spiritual, and deeply human terrain of naming what we want more of and what we’re ready to release. We also reflect on how this practice helps us notice our own pendulum swings between extremes, how it reveals the quiet places we still seek external validation, and how it invites us to care for ourselves, our bodies, and our lives in more intentional ways.

And of course, we’d love to hear from you: Do you choose a Word of the Year? What has it opened up for you? Join us for this thoughtful, funny, honest conversation as we welcome the turning of the year together.
