#MondayMotivation⠀ I saw Lessons from the Jeju t

#MondayMotivation⠀
I saw Lessons from the Jeju this weekend. It's a short film about the haenyeo, women free divers whose skills for centuries have provided food and economic stability for their community. There is a great deal of insight in 13.5 minutes. Champion free diver and spear fisher, Kim Werner, voices concerns regarding her identity, motherhood, and love of the sea, when she joins the haenyeo. Diving well into and past their 70s, the wisdom of the haenyeo offers a different view.⠀
⠀
The haenyeo are quite youthful and navigate life more effortlessly. They support one another, however needed, in and out of the sea. Their camaradarie is evident, and conversation on any topic, open. Kim's thoughts on having a child, trading in dreams because of their 'expiration date', and fears of 'having to' give up what makes her soul feel happy, were contrasted at the dinner table when a haenyeo spoke of beauty in exchange for freedom. The haenyeo was glad she did not give up the sea for pale beautiful skin admired then (even now). She has money and freedom. And because of her decision, her daughter does, too.⠀
⠀
Where are you exchanging beauty for freedom? Maintaining a pretty picture for what sets your soul on fire? A unique, even if small, community to become one of many within a larger group? Pleasantries and superficiality for relationships and support of those who will eagerly jump into the sea with you? ⠀
⠀
Maybe it's what we think we 'have' to be that takes us further away from who we are; that causes us to label things we deeply care about as trade-offs simply because we know no other way for them to be. Maybe we should Look more closely to determine if our 'trade-offs' are worth the exchange. The world is full of people who experience life differently. You get to decide what you want your sea to look like. Whatever that is, I hope it leads you into uncharted waters far from shore.⠀
⠀
PS: The Island of Sea Women written by my friend and amazing author, @LisaSee_Writer, is a great story of haenyeo life and friendship. Visit her website for the book. See link in bio for the film. https://buff.ly/3lZddIz

Today was our first day of recording for the Wield

Today was our first day of recording for the Wielding Your Voice mini-series. I absolutely love what I do. Getting to be around women like award-winning film maker, Lanie Zipoy (@Lanstress) is a treat in itself. As an act of #WomenSupportingWomen, Lanie was kind enough to lend her voice to this project, sharing insight and personal experiences for something we both care about deeply - helping women live powerfully, for themselves and for the greater benefit of the world around them.⠀
⠀
Several key take-aways from our conversation were:⠀
- The amplification of women's voices continues to be important
- That work should accompany our words, and ⠀
- Look at what's within your control. Take a step and do that.⠀
⠀
Much more was shared in the rest of the segment. The series will be released in September. To gain access to this segment and the full series, join our email list to receive the announcement (link in bio).
⠀
Meanwhile, great things continue to happen when women gather. I'd love to hear what some of your encounters have led to. Tag a friend and please share in comments.

*SPECIAL PODCAST*⠀
Suffrage & the Women's Movement:⠀
What the 19th Amendment Did & Didn't Do for Women of Color⠀
---⠀
This month, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of women using the power of their voice, and action, to change the world. This August marks 100 years since the 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote. However, this did not include ALL women. It would take another 28 to 55 years for women of color to reap the benefits of the movement they, too, had supported and fought for.⠀
⠀
Cammy Watkins, Candidate for District 3 City Council in Omaha, NE, joins me for this special podcast. Cammy has a long history of working to promote polices for the benefit of her community and beyond. Her work garnered national attention as one of Glamour magazine's 70 female eco-achievers, alongside other environmental leaders such as Lisa Jackson, Obama's EPA director. Cammy credits her mother with inspiring her to be on the front lines of issues such as Sustainability, Affordable Housing, and Racial Equity. And doing the work to build a just society. Listen in as we discuss what the 19th amendment did and didn't do for women of color, suffrage and the women's movement through this lens, and tangible ways for women to move forward together today. ⠀

Women represent half of humanity, yet much of our

Women represent half of humanity, yet much of our history remains unknown. This shapes our perception, expectations, and relationships, including the one women have with themselves. ⠀
⠀
Join us for an engaging conversation about women and the deeper history we share. Panelists, Nicole Evelina, women's historian and USA Today bestselling author, and Dr. Kathleen Funk, fourth generation indigenous medicine practitioner and founder of Acufunkture, join us for a lively discussion of how our shared history can forge stronger relationships between women, connects us in ways we may not expect, and how healing our past and present helps can help us live a better herstory and continue forward together. ⠀
⠀
Registration ends Tuesday, September 15th. ⠀
DM to submit questions for panelists in advance.
