Welcome to Episode 12 of Season 4!

In this episode, we unpack a truth we’ve both lived over and over again: real, lasting change is rarely quick, and the pressure to deliver (or receive) instant transformation can actually get in the way of the deeper work.

We talk about the myth of the “insight machine,” the belief that coaches must produce rapid breakthroughs to prove their value, and how clients often feel pressured to change fast because of the investment they’ve made. Through stories from our own practices and lives, we explore why slow, embodied, integrated change is not only more sustainable, it’s more honest.

We also get real about the messy middle: the moments when things feel worse before they feel better, when grief rises, when old identities fall away, and when the growth you asked for doesn’t look anything like you expected. And we name the very human tendency to set rigid outer rules when what really needs tending is our inner landscape and self-trust.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “doing enough,” or worried that your progress is too slow, this conversation will help you exhale. Your unfolding doesn’t need to be fast to be real.

Welcome to Episode 11 of Season 4!

In this week's episode, we explore the sought-after idea of "singular focus" and how that applies in our lives, our work, and our activism in support of the causes that matter to us. Singular focus is often hailed as being valuable and necessary to doing deep work that has impact, but both of us have found this type of focus to be mostly elusive in our lives. Is that a problem to be solved? Does it mean that we are fickle and just can't choose? Or is the desire for simplicity, essentialism, discipline, and focus something that we have been trained to want by a system created by, and for, men?

Welcome to Episode 10 of Season 4!

In this Halloween episode of The Woman Uncaged Podcast, we explore the concept of liminal space: those in-between times when something has ended but the next chapter hasn’t yet revealed itself. Recording on Samhain, a time when the veil between worlds is said to be thin, feels especially fitting as we explore the emotional, spiritual, and practical dimensions of this “in-between.” We talk about how disorienting it can feel when the life you’ve known no longer fits, yet the new one hasn’t taken shape. Both of us share our personal experiences with this sense of floating with Linda questioning what she's doing with her work and life, and Laura navigating her own transitions after a period of nomadic living.

We unpack how our culture’s obsession with doing, planning, and productivity makes it so hard to rest in uncertainty and how that discomfort often drives us to fill the void too quickly, whether by jumping into new projects, relationships, or responsibilities, just to feel a sense of direction. We discuss the importance of resisting that urge and allowing these fallow times to do their quiet work of soul ripening and self-discovery.

Throughout the conversation, we explore practices that help us stay grounded during these in-between phases. Liminal space isn’t a failure or a wrong turn; it’s an invitation. It’s the place where who we are becoming begins to take root, if we can just stay long enough to let it unfold.
