Why do so many believe in gender equality—yet shy away from the word feminist? In this powerful roundtable, Bethany Busch, LMFT Auria Zahed, and educator Isabelle Comtois unpack the real history of feminism—from suffragette wins to interconnected healing—and why reclaiming the “F word” still matters. We dive into the legacy of each wave of feminism, challenge myths about so-called "protections," and explore how current generations are reshaping the fight for equity. Whether you identify as a feminist or you’re still sitting with the term, this one’s for you.

Bethany and Auria go deep this week on what it means to finally breathe in your own body, on your own terms.

It’s not just about movement. It’s about reclaiming personhood in a world that’s tried to define womanhood by silence, control, and performance. From childhood body image fears to the quiet rebellion of not caring what others think, this episode is a blueprint for unlearning—and for choosing freedom anyway.

You’ll hear raw reflections, laughter, righteous rage, and the kind of conversation that holds a mirror to the culture and offers a way through it.

Through personal storytelling, gentle fire, and unapologetic truth, they name the impact of misogyny, rape culture, and body narratives—and the liberation that comes when we rewrite those stories out loud and together.

In this episode of UpLift Women’s Wellness, Bethany and Auria unpack what it really means to live with purpose—beyond job titles and hustle culture. They explore the tension between Western ideals of productivity and Indigenous perspectives on purpose, rest, and community.

Through personal stories and honest reflection, they dive into: – The pressure to “grind” vs. the need for rest – Navigating career paths that honor both passion and financial needs – The emotional toll of modern work culture, from commuting to remote burnout – Why redefining success starts with listening to your body

Whether you’re rethinking your career, craving balance, or just tired of the noise—this conversation is for you.
