On this episode a totally different guide to getting pregnant. From a feminist and fertile perspective, outside of the language of the patriarchy (which permeates the medical world), we discover we are fertile through and through. If you are struggling with fertility or infertility, this guide is not about going shopping or buying another supplement or class. This is about ideas. And ideas are free. And we are free to change our ideas. When we change our ideas about fertility, we increase our fertility. And your fertility is a native birthright. Infertility is a construct of the patriarchy. Fertility is not our ovaries and eggs and sperm; it's not our age; it's not how long we've been trying. Fertility is life, life-force. Join host Samantha Wilde for an introduction to the Fertile Feminist's way to get pregnant--or to feel more fertile and alive in any other part of your life.

Who or what is the Great Mother Archetype? What happens to us when we invoke her? When we think about her? When we put her into our personal and collective consciousness? Take a first step in exploring a journey to the transformative power and possibility of the Great Mother archetype. Host Samantha Wilde talks about her personal experience and her collective work with the Sacred Order of the Great Mother. Doors open, wholeness returns, and restitution and resolution arrive when we welcome in the most ancient and most malignantly destroyed (by the patriarchy) archetype. It is a beginning to a most magnificent and life-shifting journey.

Losing ourselves. Losing our identities. Feeling lost. These are normal (and powerful) parts of life for everyone. When we feel lost, we are desperate to "find ourselves." In fact, finding yourself is a huge pastime initiated in adolescence when kids are encouraged to go out and find out who they are, and continuing through every major life event. Patriarchy effects and defines the way we think about being lost--and being found. You probably haven't considered how patriarchy changes your lens on being lost and found....but it does! In our culture, feeling lost is a terrible, scary, urgent situation that needs immediate remedy--it's an aberration. But how can that be? This common life event happens to ALL. If we think about it differently, being lost and getting found becomes easier, more transformative and more positive in ever way. Join host Sam Wilde for a new feminist look at being lost and the journey to getting found.

Girls are raised to be nice women. But is "nice" what we want to aspire to? Is "nice" even possible? Who does "nice" serve? When we go into women-only spaces, we might have expectations, as I did, about what it will feel like. Wouldn't a women-only space be so loving and nurturing and..."nice?" Join host Samantha Wilde as she shares an adventure into women-only space that raises questions about expectations, perceptions and misperceptions, and what it means when we look for the "nice" woman in others AND discover that what that means about ourselves and our own inner expectations about having to be "nice."

Finding our inner teenager is about finding the people we belong to; it's about finding where we belong, who we belong to, and what language we speak. Our longing for a common shared language, a shared way of living and understanding life, is a deep and real longing inside each of us. Teenagers know this; but in those adolescent years, we lose our authentic desire for belonging and just try to "fit in." We can't find those who speak the same language until we find our own inner voice, our true voice. Join host Sam Wilde for an exploration on discovering the deep longing to belong and allowing it to lead us to our authentic language--which then leads us to the shared language with others, and to that incredible sense of belonging.

Are you searching for the quick, easy fix? Feeling better, doing better or getting better in three easy steps? When we search for a teacher or a teaching, aren't we drawn in by the promises of speed and ease? The guru that everyone wants is the one who can teach us how to end our suffering or make more money or get what we want in the shortest amount of time with the least amount of effort. The quick, easy path that's sold to us is another product of the patriarchy. The feminist antidote asks us to think differently about what is easy and what is hard, what is time and what is desire. Actually knowing that things are hard is the key to feeling more ease around them; knowing that things are made easy in life for certain people to serve the patriarchy helps us detach from the hypnotic pull towards that quick, easy fix. Freed of that, we can accept the time things take, the work things take, the effort and the labor--all of which help change us into something better. Join host Samantha Wilde for an exploration of the great patriarchal sale and get a step closer to the true guru--the really helpful teacher, the one who dwells within you.

Lessons in how to heal from a feminist perspective. All of us are in search of healing and most of us have tried all different kinds of ways, practices, and methods to heal. But something is missing. Patriarchy, misogyny and hierarchy infuse our days and never bring healing. The feminist understanding of wholeness and human liberation, brought into the heart, brings us to a more complete experience of healing. Join host Sam Wilde for a different look a the journey of healing and how using the principle of feminism can catapult us to a new level of healing. This is the healing we need to live a truly fertile, wild, creative, honest life. More https://thesamanthawilde.com/

How many mothers feel seen? How much of motherhood is seen? Acknowledged? The work mothers do exists in invisibility. From lack of maternity leave to lack of appropriate, affordable childcare, we know the work, the labor, of mothers is ignored into obscurity. The depths of the invisibility of mothers is a direct expression of our inability to hold the archetype of the Great Mother. We don't value mothers and we don't value The Mother. Seems inconsequential, perhaps, or of a small concern compared to, say, climate change, but it's actually a root of the problem. Until Mother and mothers are restored to their proper place of visibility and prominence, none of us will be free, fertile, alive, liberated. Join Samantha Wilde for this episode devoted to mothers, mothering, motherhood, The Great Mother, and the healing of our planet.
