    In this fiery, messy conversation, Becky Mollenkamp and Taina Brown dive headfirst into celebrity culture, capitalism’s endless hunger, and the idea of enough. What started as a chat about Taylor Swift’s latest grift spirals—naturally—into reflections on fascism, fire-hose overwhelm, and why local action matters more than ever.

    They talk about:
    • Why celebrity “side hustles” and billionaire branding keep us chasing more
    • How capitalism turns “enough” into failure
    • The illusion of American exceptionalism and what fascism actually looks like
    • Why your local school board might matter more than Congress
    • What iteration (not hustle) really means for liberation
    • How collective care—and choosing one or two issues you actually have energy for—is the real resistance

    👉 On October 9, 2025, Feminist Founders is hosting The Weight We Carry, a free, focus-group-style conversation on invisible labor. We’ll share stories, hold space, and imagine what collective relief might look like. And your stories will directly shape a white paper we’re writing to push this issue into wider conversations where it belongs. ✨ Reserve your free spot here



    In this episode of Messy Liberation, Becky Mollenkamp and Taina Brown are joined by their dear friend and collaborator Faith Clarke. Faith is a workplace culture strategist who challenges extractive systems and works to build restorative, liberatory environments rooted in belonging.

    Together, the three dig into what “belonging” really means—not as a buzzword, but as an embodied experience of communal care, shared responsibility, and accountability. Faith shares stories from her corporate and nonprofit experiences, connects belonging to invisible labor, and explains why true belonging requires honesty about what spaces can and can’t hold.

    This is a conversation about work, family, faith, identity, power, and the hard truth that belonging isn’t something leaders “create”—it’s something communities must practice together.


    In this episode, we discuss:

    • What belonging feels like and how to recognize its absence
    • Why extractive work systems can never truly foster belonging
    • The violence of having to self-advocate in spaces that won’t meet your needs
    • Invisible labor and how marginalized folks often hold it all together
    • Why belonging must be a community responsibility and not left to leaders alone
    • Signs your workplace or organization lacks true belonging
    • How Faith and Becky are partnering on an upcoming container to address invisible labor

    Becky’s sick, Taina’s tired, and somehow that makes for the best kind of messy conversation. From writing smut to why summer feels like winter, this grab bag episode runs the gamut of sex, TV, astrology, and systemic injustice.

    Discussed in this episode:

    • What it’s really like to write sex scenes (and why it’s more about logistics than lust)
    • Becky’s prudish confessions about watching intimacy on screen
    • Love Is Blind: Brazil – Over 50 and why watching older women date is surprisingly joyful
    • British comfort TV vs. American sensory-overload reality shows
    • Astrology, natal charts, and why New Year’s actually starts in Scorpio or Virgo season
    • Why summer feels like winter and autumn brings the most creativity
    • Becky’s son’s “welcome to capitalism” moment with a half-empty bag of chips
    • Activism that disrupts power at the table, not just in the streets
    • The parallels between Baltimore and St. Louis: segregation, schools, and systemic inequities
    • Infrastructure failures, unsafe water, and the privilege required to access safety
