034: Empowerment Runs in the Family -- 90 year old Gramma Iris on the Mic

from Empowerment Studio Podcast · host Kinzie + Rachael - The Empowerment Studio

This episode is a true gift.I got to sit down in person with my beloved Gramma Iris — yes, my actual grandma — and talk about life, legacy, growth, and the power of sharing our stories. At 90 years old, Gramma Iris has lived through loss, transformation, deep love, and reinvention more times than I can count. And lately, she did something really brave: she stepped on stage for the very first time to perform a piece about her life as part of The She Said Project, directed by the wonderful Jenette Jurczyk.In this conversation, she talks about what it felt like to tell her story for the first time just about her — without hiding behind the people she’s spent her life loving and serving. She shares memories from growing up in a conservative small town, teaching preschool (after retiring five times!), baking mini muffins, and still showing up for her community — with a little sass and a lot of heart.We laugh, we sing, and she even performs her piece for you — “90 Years in 10 Minutes.” (Spoiler alert: you're going to want tissues.)💗 You can watch her full That’s What She Said performance on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtmZCc2KSZ4Gramma Iris is the person I’m probably the most like in my whole family — and I am so proud to share her with you today.🤳🏼 Get our FREE selfie guide: https://empowermentphotographer.com/selfie🔗 Sign up for the #SelfietoSelfLove Challenge: selfietoselflove.com📸 Follow us on Instagram: @empowermentstudio__🌐 Learn more about our boudoir sessions and Empowerment Experience: empowermentphotographer.com👥 Join our Facebook Group: The Empowerment Studio

We specialize in unpacking the nuances of what is considered sacred and profane, particularly focusing on sex, death, and all that pertains to the circle of life. Our aim in focusing on such ”taboo” subject matter is to demystify what is unconscious, bring to light what has been known for centuries as ”the occult,” and empower the rapid transformation that is occurring on the Planet.
