About The Show
Every month, we walk into the heart and mind of one woman. She shares something personal and true with us. She reveals a side of herself that even her closest friends often don't know. Some women share their names, others remain anonymous.
We believe telling and hearing women’s true stories helps us heal, own our place in the world, and contribute what is uniquely ours.
We imagine you care about personal growth, whatever that means to you. We invite you to join us. Monthly supporters of the show help us bring incredible stories into the light. In turn for your support, we provide you with ongoing resources for a rich, inner life. Like meditations with internationally renowned teachers, exclusive book readings, talks from memoirists, and online events with show guests. You can join us by clicking the “Support Us'' button above. Then click to visit our Patreon page. We look forward to sending you our fantastic welcome packet.
