Female Frequency Podcast

I've been at the negotiating table—representing artists, museums, galleries, and vendors—and I can tell you this: the art world runs on undefined rules—and people still expect you to know them.   If you've ever asked, "Is this normal for a gallery to demand this?"—you're not alone. You're navigating a blurry system where dynamics shift in a heartbeat.   This is exactly why this conversation matters right now—when grant applications are due, calls for residencies are open, and art fair season is here.   In this episode, I sit down with art advisor Carrie Scott to talk about how she's advising artists and collectors in the current market. She's currently collaborating with The Christian Levett Collection and FAMM Museum Mougins, and is the founder of Seen.Art—an art collective for artists and collectors.   I could easily title this "Carrie: Unfiltered." It's a candid, behind-the-scenes conversation with a woman saying the loudest thought in her head instead of staying quiet, navigating a pinch of imposter syndrome, and showing how Seen.Art is helping create artist–collector relationships instead of dead-end transactions.   Bonus: She shares her top eight things artists should do to be seen and sold—and the newest resource she's building to help you.   Listen now to the Female Frequency Podcast with Jodie Nelson if you want professional advice—with a dash of art history—whether you're an artist or a collector.   Follow Carrie: @carriescottcurates Join the Seen membership: https://www.seen.art/   To help you live the fullest expression of yourself, check out the Full Blossom flower elixir: http://lotuswei.com/ffp   For artists looking to strengthen your story and your negotiation points on your public art contract - checkout -  Artist Guide to Public Art: Proposal to Contract    Subscribe on YouTube: @femalefrequencyproductions Visit our website: thefemalefrequency.com Follow the Frequency on Instagram: @thefemalefrequency

What if the light around you is affecting your sleep, focus, mood, and creative energy more than you realize—and you've simply learned to live with it?   This conversation reframes lighting as more than a design choice—it's a wellness technology. In this Earth Day episode of Female Frequency Podcast, I sit down with award-winning glass artist and lighting designer Julie Conway to explore a powerful truth: Light is not neutral. It's a frequency shaping how we regulate, restore, and create. You need full spectrum light in your life.    As a curator, lighting has shaped my perspective from the very beginning. I learned early on that even a subtle shift in light can completely transform how a work is experienced—how color breathes, how form is revealed, and how long someone stays with a piece. Through my own health journey, that understanding deepened, revealing how the light in my kitchen was affecting my adrenals and creative output.   Julie has dedicated her life to understanding how we can thrive in a world of fast food, fast fashion—and fast design—without compromising our health. Her work brings light and beauty into the world through sculptural glass lighting that transforms environments—from luxury hospitality spaces, including Four Seasons, to statement residential interiors—into places that support both beauty and wellbeing.   We live in a culture where lighting is often chosen for convenience or aesthetics alone. Cheap, flickering artificial light has become the norm in homes, studios, offices, and public spaces—and most people never question it.   In this episode, we explore: • Why artificial lighting is affecting your nervous system • What full-spectrum lighting actually is—and why it matters now • Why brighter light is not always better for wellbeing • How lighting impacts creativity, focus, and energy • What to look for when upgrading lighting in your home, studio, or workspace • How sculptural glass lighting transforms both the aesthetic and lived experience of a space   If you want to create spaces that actively support health, beauty, and performance—this episode will change the way you think about light.   🎁 Use coupon code ILLUMINATAGLASS for special pricing: https://healthlighting.com/ Explore Julie Conway's lighting solutions: https://illuminataglass.com/ ✨ Tune in to discover how better lighting can elevate the way we live, work, and create.

In this solo episode of the Female Frequency Podcast, I share why seeing art as an object is holding you back. I experience art as a frequency—an emotional response that shifts something in you. I stopped writing about the life I wanted— and started making decisions from it. I am someone who kept diaries from The Artist's Way art dates, and then made them a lifestyle. For over 25 years, I've held titles like museum curator and gallery director. But those are categories. They don't describe the heart of the work. Because the truth is: Art isn't just an object. It's an emotional response. I'm Jodie Nelson—a feminist, curator, and advisor to artists and collectors—and I started curating in 1999. Some of you know I began to raise awareness for river conservation. What most people don't know is that it started in Nepal. Camera in hand, I was on a divine assignment to meet Shiva—and met Shakti and Tara instead. That experience sculpted how I see art, creativity, and life. It marked one of the ways I came to understand art as frequency—shaped through sacred places, lived experience, and direct encounter. In this episode, I answer questions listeners have asked me about my career, creativity, and what it actually looks like to live an embodied creative life.  If you've felt like there's more to your creativity than what you've been told—this is for you. In this episode: • Awakening to my felt senses  • Why you're confusing fear for intuition—and how to stop • The work by Judy Chicago that inspired me  • What it actually looks like to live an embodied creative life If you want a deeper relationship with your creativity, this conversation will meet you there.

Intuition speaks differently to everyone. For intuitive coach Julie Reisler, it arrives like a wild mustang you learn to ride. In this episode of the Female Frequency Podcast, Julie and I explore the growth edges of intuition—how responding to builds confidence, how messy seasons of life often carry the clearest guidance, and how her recovery journey led her to write her first book, Get a PhD in YOU: A Course in Miraculous Self-Discovery. Julie's work helps people unlock, uncover, and unleash their You-est You®. As a board-certified coach, TEDx speaker, host of the popular  You-est You® Podcast, faculty member at Georgetown University, and founder of the Intuitive Life Designer® Coach Academy, she combines spirituality, science, and coaching to help you design your life aligned with your highest purpose. Everyone receives intuition differently, but it's the same inner intelligence—a return to the senses. Julie describes her intuition as a wild mustang—not something to control, but something you learn to ride as trust grows. For me, inner knowing often arrives through a smell or a color appearing at the exact moment I need to pay attention. Different signals. Same intelligence. Intuition is not only about listening—it's about allowing a deeper relationship with receiving. To support you more directly, Julie closes the episode with a live meditation on gratitude, the medicine of laughter, and the practice of receiving—a reset you can experience, not just think about!

You can ignore your creativity for a while. But your body can't. This episode is about creative reclamation — and trusting both the whisper and the reckoning.   In this episode of Female Frequency, I sit down with monumental sculptor Amy Senn to explore what happens when you stop forcing your path — and start listening.   When we travel, autopilot falls away. Old roles dissolve. New ways of seeing begin. That disruption is what Amy needed.   A pivotal trip became the turning point in her reclamation. It wasn't about ambition. It wasn't about scaling. It was about alignment — remembering who she was beneath the roles she had outgrown.   That decision changed everything. Today, her towering 9–16 foot sculptures bridge place, prayer, and embodied feminine power: • Ma — Elizaville, NY • Minerva — installed since 2017 at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors • Lilith — born in the forest during a profound awakening And here's the distinction that makes this episode powerful: Amy stopped trying to manifest. She started listening.   In this conversation, we explore: • Creative turning points that require courage • Divine feminine archetypes and blindspots • Trusting the whisper and tantrums   For artists: imagine creating from that frequency. For collectors: imagine living with work born from that depth.   If you've been pushing, overworking, or second-guessing your next move — this episode will help you recalibrate.   More about Amy Senn on instragram  @artofamysenn    To get of autopilot and into the fullest expression of yourself check out my recent offering Follow the Frequency Activations in Venice, Italy.    Check out Full Blossom Flower Elixir: http://lotuswei.com/ffp   Subscribe on YouTube @femalefrequencyproductions Visit our website: thefemalefrequency.comFollow the Frequency on Instagram: @thefemalefrequency #followthefrequency #artofamysenn #chapelofsacredmirrors #ma #lilith #minerva  

What does it mean to mend what's been torn—across landscapes, ecosystems, and public trust?Sara Everett joins me to talk contracts, climate grief, and the healing power of art as resistance.   In this episode, I talk with Sara Everett—art consultant to real estate developers and printmaker—about her series Mending Measures, shaped by climate grief and policy shifts. We dive into her creative process, cyanotypes, her beloved sewing machine "Joy," the emotive frequency of color, and she shares her knowledge so artists can confidently advocate for themselves in public art projects and contracts.

The gloves Judy Chicago gave me…   This episode takes you behind the scenes into my personal art collection—starting with a pair of gloves given to me by feminist icon Judy Chicago while helping her install Be No More at SF MoMA. It wasn't just a task—it was a turning point. I share what that moment taught me about trust, legacy, and creative leadership.   As we hit the halfway mark in the year, I invite you to reflect on the people and moments that helped shape you. I also share stories from other artists and spiritual seekers who've passed the torch in their own way—and how honoring them can fuel your next evolution   Let's do this together. Honor what formed you. Release no longer helps you.

🔥 This Public Art Is Making Headlines Again—Here's Why 🔥 Barbara Kruger's legendary mural at MOCA Los Angeles is once again at the center of public attention—as ICE protests fill the streets of L.A. Her bold, unflinching questions, layered like the American flag, continue to challenge our understanding of justice, freedom, and power.  For 30 years, this one mural by Kruger and her visual language has resonated at the intersection of art and activism—challenging systems of power, consumerism, and complacency.

If your creativity has been feeling a little blocked lately… it might be time to let the goddess Baubo have a word—and a laugh.   I love learning from all my guests, but this one? So fun, so wise, and so liberating.   What if your vulva knows your truth? What would that truth sound like? What would it look like? That's exactly what my next guest asked me.   Maria Souza—Comparative Mythologist, poet, educator, and founder of Women and Mythology—joins the Female Frequency Podcast to show how myths are more than stories. They're maps and mirrors, guiding us back to the wild, wise, intuitive body.   In this episode, Maria brings to life Baubo—a nearly-erased goddess of laughter, healing, and holy body-truth. Through the myth of Baubo and Demeter, we dive into the sacred power of laughter as medicine, the symbolism of breasts as creative portals, and the deep body wisdom we've been conditioned to ignore.   If your boobs have ever stressed you out, this episode is absolutely for you.   Maria shares: The power of Baubo as a goddess of humor and embodied wisdom The emotional, creative, and alchemical symbolism of breasts Journal prompts: Why your vulva might be the wisest voice in the room—ask it!

Caledonia Curry, known as Swoon, is sparking profound change through the sacred tradition of storytelling. From her emotive portraits to championing women's visibility in the street art movement, to channeling the divine feminine in her Medea series, Swoon uses her art to challenge entrenched narratives and asks: "How can art fundamentally re-envision the communities we live in, toward a more just and equitable world?"   Swoon and I get into a juicy convo about origins of her creative frequency, the seminal role of personal narrative, and how her journey led to the Medea series. She shares details about her signature woodblock technique, the evolving meaning of legacy in her practice, and dreams that continue to inform her work.   Join us and hear how this artist — with work on walls across the world and in the permanent collections of MoMA, the Brooklyn Museum, and Tate Modern, and profiled by PBS American Masters — is reshaping public art, using instinct, felt senses (intuition), and inner visions dreams to fuel everything from iconic portraits to stop-motion films, immersive installations, and a commission for Alicia Keys.    At its heart, this episode is about art as a tool for healing, communication, and cultural transformation. Whether you're an artist, storyteller, or changemaker, I hope you are able to show up for yourself, trust your intuition, embrace vulnerability, and center the stories that matter most.   In this episode, we discuss: 🎨 The making of the Medea series and the personal mythologies woven within 🌍 The pivotal travels that reshaped her practice toward collective, community-led work ⚡ The Ediphone Series, a new body of work visualizing what sound looks like     ✨ Creative Prompt: What feels alive in your project right now?   Shop for limited edition and more on https://swoonstudio.org/ and follow @swoonhq   Million Person Project information can be found here: https://www.millionpersonproject.org/   Link to Episode 43: The Butterfly Effect  Subscribe to the podcast: @femalefrequencyproductions Follow @thefemalefrequency on Instagram New Events www.thefemalefrequency.com If you like the painting in my background go to FREQUENCY #SwoonArt #CaledoniaCurry #StreetArtLegend #ContemporaryArt #FemaleArtists #WomenInArt #MuseumArtist #ImmersiveArt #ArtAndStorytelling #PublicArtMatters #ArtAsHealing #IntuitiveArt #CreativeProcess #SocialPracticeArt #ArtWorldVoices #ArtActivism #PodcastForArtists #ArtistInterview #MoMA #MoMAPS1 #BrooklynMuseum #MoriArtMuseum #ICABoston #SkissernasMuseum #MIMABrussels #MuseoDeArteContemporáneoOaxaca #CACCincinnati #TateModern #DetroitInstituteOfArts #MASSMoCA #BostonLogan #TerminalEArt #PublicArtCommission #TheHouseOurFamiliesBuilt #SwoonStudio #ReliefPrint #PapercutArt #Printmaker #TamarindInstitute #CrownPointPress #PhiladelphiaMuralArts #PrintThemAll #HelloPrintFriend

I couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic talking about gallery shows and leadership in the arts in this next great episode. Callie Jones—gallery owner, writer, and co-founder of COL Gallery in San Francisco—joins the Female Frequency Podcast, showing us what leadership in the art world looks like and why the future is female!   Callie takes us behind the scenes of COL Gallery's latest show: an intimate retrospective, a journey through the evolution of Susan Weil. This rare exhibition offers a close look at Weil's creative process—cutting, crumpling, and refiguring—revealing a multiplicity of perspectives through the lens of abstraction, deeply informed by the female experience, and places her firmly within postwar art history.   Hear the stories Weil lived through: studying in Paris in the late 1940s amid the echoes of modernism, then continuing her training at Black Mountain College, the legendary crucible of American art innovation. Now, after decades of being overlooked, her contributions—including early collaborative cyanotypes with Robert Rauschenberg—are finally being recognized, with works held at MoMA, The Met, and featured at the Venice Biennale and the V&A Museum.   Stay to the end—Callie also shares insider advice for artists and collectors navigating today's evolving gallery world.   Highlights we talk about: Susan Weil's experiential approach to art-making, always rooted in her female experience Weil's activism beyond gallery walls How traditional gallery models are changing—and how artists need to invest in themselves to sell art   💥 Did this episode sparked something in you?

What starts as a symbol becomes a signature. What begins as intuition becomes influence. In this episode, we're recording on location inside Through the Flower, the feminist art space founded by visionary icon Judy Chicago, to explore how one visual language—the butterfly form—sparked a global creative movement. The butterfly? It's a metaphor. It's a message. It's medicine. From her radical Atmosphere Series—where she asked, "How can I feminize the landscape?"—to her groundbreaking collaboration with Maria Grazia Chiuri at Dior with a 250 foot long goddess, Judy's work doesn't just blur the lines—it redraws them, making space for women to be both revered and recognized. 🔥 Episode Highlights: Behind-the-scenes stories from Judy's journal entries and creative rituals The Butterfly Effect: how Judy has made an impression on fashion, dance activism, and education. Why intuition is the most powerful creative currency we have today 💡 Once you see the butterfly, you can't unsee it. And once you understand the power of signature visual language, you start to see your own. Here's the truth: We're no longer in the "wait to be discovered" era—we're in the define yourself, brand it, and broadcast it era. And Judy Chicago? She was the blueprint.  Butterfly Effect: Response by Swoon The Ailey School (dance) Maria Grazia Chiuri x Judy Chicago for Dior Songwriter Paris Poloma Pussy Riot's Nadya Tolokonnikova teamed up with Judy Chicago and Michele Pred 💥 And if this episode sparked something in you?

Think the chevron pattern started with ancient Greeks ? Think again.   In this episode, we go way back—Neolithic to Now—to explore the chevron as a sacred symbol of Divine Feminine, of bird energy, of intuitive communication that's been carried through generations of art, ritual, and meaning.   This week's episode of Female Frequency is inspired by The Language of the Goddess by Maria Gimbutas (shoutout to my sister Kristin for pulling it from the library stack 🙌). We're diving deep into how a new wave of archaeologists, artists, and scholars like Max Dashu are reinterpreting ancient cultures through the lens of the female experience—centered in feminism, ecology, and social justice. Plus, we do a fun creative exercise to help you access the divine through pattern and intuition.   Whether you're an artist, history lover, —this episode hits a frequency.   #ChevronPattern #DivineFeminine #LanguageOfTheGoddess #NeolithicToNow #FeministArchaeology #SacredSymbols #CreativeFrequency #AncientWisdom #EcoFeminism #MatriarchalMagic #IntuitiveArt #ArchaeologyMeetsArt #PatternPower #ArtAndSpirit #MariaGimbutas #CulturalSymbolism #SpiritualCreatives #WomenInHistory #ArtPodcast #FemaleFrequency #MaxDashu #SuppressedHistory  

What if history wasn't just something we study—but something we step into?   Have you ever stepped into someone else's shoes—literally? That's what came to mind when I first saw Kate Clark's ceramic work. It wasn't just about material—it was about perspective. Her work sparked deeper questions about empathy, compassion, and the subjectivity of the female form in art and history. What happens when we look at the past through someone else's eyes instead of our own assumptions?   In this episode of The Female Frequency Podcast, Kate takes us into her world where relics of the past meet contemporary storytelling. Her motto, "In dust we trust," honors what's been discarded and reconsidered. Whether reinterpreting the Venus of Willendorf or embedding forgotten objects into her Seattle Convention Center commission, Kate shows us that art is a time capsule, and artists are its keepers.   We also dive into the business of being an artist—negotiating public art contracts, managing large projects, and navigating the post-pandemic art world. Kate's blend of creative vision, entrepreneurial strategy and storytelling is a blueprint for artists making art a career today.    In this episode, we discuss: ✨ How Kate's public art redefines artifacts in storytelling. ✨ The challenges of landing and negotiating major public art commissions. ✨ The reality of running an art business—from materials to scaling projects.

Your creativity is the medicine the world needs right now. Art isn't just something we create—it's a force that transforms. This week on Female Frequency Podcast, I'm reflecting on Brené Brown's words: "Art has the power to render sorrow beautiful, make loneliness a shared experience, and transform despair into hope."   We're exploring Art as Frequency—how color, content, and connection shape the energy of a piece and influence both the creator and the world around them.   In honor of Women's History Month, we're diving into the energy of art—how it shifts the vibe, heals, and activates change, revealing its frequency at its core. When women use their creative voices, history is rewritten, and the future takes a new form.   In this episode, I highlight Simone Leigh and Shilo Shiv Suleman, two artists using their creative power to reshape narratives and inspire movements.   Tune in for inspiration, insight, and a fresh perspective on what it means to create with purpose.   To help you live the fullest expression of yourself check out the Full Blossom flower elixir: http://lotuswei.com/ffp   Subscribe to the podcast: @femalefrequencyproductions Visit our website: thefemalefrequency.comFollow us on Instagram: @thefemalefrequency   #ArtAsFrequency #WomenInArt #SimoneLeigh #ShilohSophia #CreativeHealing #ArtThatTransforms #ArtPodcast #FemaleCreatives #BreneBrown #ArtAndSoul #ConsciousArt #HealingThroughArt #WomenHistoryMonth #FeministArt #Ecofeminism #ArtistLife #PublicArt #MindfulCreativity #SpiritualCreativity #ArtForChange

Showcasing feminism in people's faces often makes them uncomfortable. Today on the Female Frequency Podcast, I am thrilled to welcome Heather Lunsford, a feminist curator navigating the intersection of art, activism, and community engagement in one of the most conservative states in America.   You want Heather on your team—she's a curator who admits that most of the shows she curates might just get her fired! From her role as Director of Art in Public Places for Oklahoma to her current position as Director and Curator of the Nona Jean Hulsey Gallery at Oklahoma City University, Heather has taken on monumental challenges. One exhibition that intrigued me the most was Jessica's installation, "Do They Make a Sound?"—an installation that features thousands of female forms alongside Trump quotes and survivors' testimonies. This work pushes boundaries, confronting cultural tensions head-on while navigating the complexities of context.     In this episode, you'll learn about: ✨ Building Bridges: Why understanding and engaging with local art communities is essential before introducing transformative changes. 🎨 Accessible Art: Heather's strategies for making exhibitions relatable, including a surprising approach to simplifying museum wall text. 🌸Fearless Advocacy: How Heather amplifies marginalized voices, advocates for women's rights, and uses nuanced messaging to drive meaningful conversations.     Heather's fearless commitment to representation and dialogue will leave you inspired to think bigger about art's role in shaping society—especially in unexpected and challenging places.   Listen now to hear Heather's bold vision and how she's redefining the role of art in activism and community engagement.   Follow us on Instagram: @thefemalefrequency Visit our website: thefemalefrequency.com Subscribe to the podcast: @femalefrequencyproductions   #FeministCurator #ArtAsActivism #RepresentationMatters #FemaleCurators #WomenInArt #ArtAndActivism #PublicArt #ActivistArt #FeministArt #CommunityEngagement #ArtForChange #WomenInLeadership #MarginalizedVoices #ArtExhibitions #FeministDialogue #ArtAndSociety #ArtisticImpact #RepresentationInArt #FemaleEmpowerment #CuratingFeminism #ArtisticAdvocacy

How do you transform a single moquette into a work of monumental significance? Today on Female Frequency Podcast, I am honored to welcome the incomparable Cappy Thompson, whose approach to being creative has forever altered the landscape of public art. With the largest single image glass painting on display in the United States, Cappy's work challenges the status quo, encouraging artists to not only think bigger and to ground their creative endeavors in content.   "My work—which spans several decades and a variety of scales, from the intimate to the monumental—has always been driven by content," Cappy reflects. This philosophical and feminist approach to art-making is evident in her signature mythopoetic style, a blending of storytelling and symbolism. Whether in her monumental 33 x 90 feet installation at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport or her intricate 12 x 15 foot mural, Gathering the Light at the Museum of Glass, Cappy's work defines what it means to create art that resonates with a journey and connection.   Her story is a roadmap for women artists seeking to secure large-scale commissions in a male-dominated field, cultivating meaningful relationships, and the magic of surrounding yourself with people who mention your name in a room full of opportunities.    In this episode, we talk about:  ✨ The roadmap behind monumental public commissions, including her iconic works at Sea-Tac Airport. 🤝 The significance of artist-to-artist relationships, including Barbara Earl Thomas, Dale Chihuly have shaped her career. 🎨 Cappy's autobiographical sensibility and innovative use of grisaille painting techniques and vitreous enamels to create intricate, mythopoetic narratives that push the boundaries of glass art.   Take a look at Cappy's career and gallery representation on  cappythompson.com   To deepen your personal expression, check out the Full Blossom Flower Elixir: lotuswei.com/ffp   Jodie Nelson and the Female Frequency 🎧Subscribe to the Podcast: http://@femalefrequencyproductions 🔸Visit out our workshops and website: thefemalefrequency.com 💜Connect with me on Instagram: @thefemalefrequency@thefemalefrequency   #FeministArt #PublicArt #CappyThompson #GlassArt #FemaleFrequencyPodcast #ArtForChange #ArtAsActivism #MythopoeticArt #MonumentalArt #ArtistCommunity #StudioGlassMovement #WomenInArt #CreativeVision #GlassPainting #VitreousEnamel #ArtisticLegacy #ArtistJourney #FeministCreativity #ArtisticTransformation #CollectivePower #WomenArtists #ArtisticMentorship #PublicArtProjects #ArtAndActivism #CulturalImpact #FeministVision #RefractSeattle #GlassArt #PublicArt #Ecofeminism #CreativeRevolution #DaleChihuly

Every episode brings fresh inspiration, and today's conversation is no different. I'm thrilled to be joined by Kait Rhoads, an artist who dreams big. Her intricate glass sculptures, limited-edition jewelry, and public artworks all reflect her relationship with the ocean. Today, we dive into everything—from subjugation and underwater ecosystems to art espionage!    In this conversation, we explore the intricate ties between her artmaking, ecology, and community because, as Kait says, "My method of construction mirrors how my life has formed me, with individual elements woven together to create a strong whole."   Kait Rhoads' story is one of transformation, bold creativity, and unapologetic innovation. From growing up on a boat to becoming a Fulbright scholar in Venice, Italy, she immersed herself in centuries-old glassmaking traditions steeped in patriarchal legacies. While honoring these techniques, she envisioned something entirely new. This fusion of respect and reinvention led her to develop her signature Hollow Murrine method, creating breathtaking sculptures collected by museums worldwide, including the Pacific Seas Aquarium, Seattle Art Museum, Corning Museum of Glass, Museum of Northwest Art, Shanghai Museum of Glass, Tacoma Museum of Art, and the Toyama Institute of Glass Museum in Japan, among others.   Highlights you will love: How important grants have allowed Kait to involve community members in her public art commissions. The creative use of light in her Hollow Murrine method, which has made her sculptures so distinctive.

"Artists have a unique opportunity to challenge the viewer," reflects American artist April Surgent. This adventurous, gutsy woman is a record keeper of time; her art offers viewers a glimpse into the fragility of our ecosystems through glass, a material that holds, refracts, and reflects light. As urbanization distances us from the environments we depend on, April's cameo glass engravings call us to attention—a moment to "Stop. Look. See. Listen. Smell. Touch. Breathe. Think. Learn."   In this conversation, we explore her career through life-changing experiences, from Pilchuck Glass School to her ongoing collaboration with the NOAA Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program, where she confronted marine debris and witnessed the immediate effects of climate change, to a commission for Iowa State University.   April approaches artmaking as a comment on the status quo and a mirror reflecting our world. Her contemporary approach to the ancient art of cameo glass engraving expands the medium's boundaries, both in scale and subject. Through an inward, reflective process, she moves through mark-making, including pinhole photography, to capture the delicate interplay between light and shadow, ultimately engraving her composition onto sheets of glass.   We dive into the artmaking and the public response evoked by In Our Absence. There's a profound mystery to her work—moody, and some might even describe it as haunting, in a way that feels undeniably truthful.    Listen as she shares her future projects: tuning into her intuition and continuing to follow her heart, undoubtedly reflecting her relationship with the planet and following the light.   Inquiries about loaning opportunities can be made through https://www.aprilsurgent.com.

Today, I'm so excited to share this conversation with a true creative force—Mary White. Mary is not just a sculptor and educator; she's a visionary leader who uplifts the voices of women in environmental art and education, empowering them to make waves and create meaningful change. I'll leave her website information in the notes—it's truly inspirational.   I am most intrigued by Mary as an artmaker. To me, Mary works collaboratively, but she never negotiates her values, holding steadfast to what matters most in every project she undertakes. She creates art that integrates natural sciences, environmental perception, arts education, and peacemaking, all through the lens of formed friendships. She seems to know everyone, and now I am pleased to introduce you to this amazing ecofeminist.   Mary is the daughter of a water resources geographer, and her early travels sparked a passion for the creative process, nature, and caring for the earth's creatures and natural resources. As a scholar, she won a Fulbright to Ireland, where she produced a symposium with her cohorts, focusing on craft as a vehicle for social justice.   As a teacher, she taught at the Corning Museum of Glass and California College of the Arts, spent 20 years teaching at San Jose State University, and started the glass program at The Crucible in Oakland, California. She is currently co-chair of Women Eco Artists Dialog (WEAD).   Tune in to this conversation, where we catch up with Mary during her short stay in Colorado with family, and she takes us behind the scenes of her 18-foot public art installation titled Flood Marker, along with a few other works from her career!   Highlights you'll love: How the glass was made for an 18 foot sculpture placed outdoors titled Flood Marker.

Join us as we welcome Robin Lasser, a natural-born storyteller and ecofeminist who has carved a unique path throughout her art-making career. In this episode, we traverse her journey, from her latest exhibit, Climate's Shipwreck Ballad, currently on view at the Plattsburgh State Art Museum, to her earliest creations. Tune in to discover how the spiritual philosophy of As Above, So Below shows up repeatedly in her oeuvre.   Robin is not an artist who works alone; she collaborates with artists, writers, students, public agencies, community organizations, and international coalitions to produce public art and promote dialogue. Robin's work serves as a form of activism, addressing climate justice while commenting on public health, environmental issues, and social equity, helping to rewrite history with honesty. Her art-making approach often integrates layers of textures, colors, elements of fire and water, humor, and research, showcasing the power of art as a vital communication tool.   Her recent exhibit, Climate's Shipwreck Ballad, provides insights into Lake Champlain, exploring migration lines, 300 species of birds, 300 shipwrecks beneath its surface, and how the waters' currents served as a gateway to freedom. In this conversation, Robin shares her creative process, highlighting how she combines layers of photographs and videos to create site-specific installations and public art that engage with themes of placemaking. Her Dress Tent Series adds a layer of humor and wit, as she explains, "Through the humor of an oversized dress, we reference specific body and land topics pertaining to the place and culture where they are located. By exploring these two symbols of shelter, we delve into themes of protection versus oppression, expression versus exploitation, sexy versus matronly, and more."   While Robin is constantly creating, she is also a professor of Art at San José State University. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including venues such as the San Francisco Asian Art Museum, San José Museum of Art, National Gallery of Modern Art in Bangalore, India, the Museum of Goa, Exploratorium Observation Gallery in San Francisco, Kohler Museum of Art, The Metenkov Museum of Photography in Yekaterinburg, Russia, the Recoleta Cultural Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the Caixa Cultural Center in Rio de Janeiro. She also participates in international biennials, including ZERO1: Global Art on the Edge in San José, California, Nuit Blanche in Toronto, Canada, and the Pingyao International Photography Festival in Pingyao, China.   View  Robin's work, filled with humor and texture, at robinlasser.com.

Recently I've been reciting my favorite quote at events and the response has been amazing. People are asking where I found it and what was going on in my life that made it land as profound as it did. In my latest podcast episode, I dive into the powerful and soul-nourishing teachings of Wisdom Rising: Journey Into the Mandala of the Empowered Feminine by Lama Tsultrim Allione. It's all about reclaiming our dynamic, multifaceted nature that patriarchy has tried to suppress for far too long. You are not here to choose between being sweet or spicy, strong or weak, the Madonna or the whore. You are ALL of these things and more!   If we keep looking at ourselves through a patriarchal lens, it won't serve a balanced creative life. I share my personal journey—how, after a breakup, this book found me at the perfect time and reminded me that the feminine isn't linear. The patriarchy thrives on binaries, but the feminine? She's wild, circular, embracing the wholeness of who we are. If you've ever felt constrained by societal expectations, guilt, or limiting beliefs, this episode is for you.   I also share how my ecofeminist approach is rooted in ancient traditions. While living in Nepal in my 20s—studying sacred feminine sites, mandalas, and art—taught me how to connect with the divine feminine within. We explore how the teachings of the five wisdom dakinis can help us alchemize our emotions and transform them into wisdom, especially anger. Yes, even your anger is a sacred teacher, guiding you toward your truth.   This episode is packed with actionable steps on how to lean into discomfort, trust your intuition, and honor your life's natural cycles—just like the seasons. The more centered and grounded you are, the clearer you'll be when life's turbulence hits.   Let go of the binaries. Find Balance. Embrace all of who you are. Let your Shakti rise and allow your feminine wisdom to lead the way!   Listen in to reconnect with your empowered, whole self, from the lens of feminine embodiment.   If your mind is racing these days- check out these recommended flower essences to help:  lotuswei.com/ffp  🌺   Join a workshop on: thefemalefrequency.com Follow on Instagram: @thefemalefrequency Subscribe to the podcast: @femalefrequencyproductions

Sabrina Knowles and Jenny Pohlman aren't just creating sculptures; they are forging powerful narratives in glass and steel that confront the systematic erasure of women and the perilous loss of feminine wisdom. As a dynamic team, they channel spiritual beliefs, cultural histories, and hidden lives into stories of healing, resilience, and the unyielding power of the human spirit.   In this compelling episode, Knowles and Pohlman reveal their relentless quest to guard against the forgetting of feminine knowledge—a force that's been sidelined for too long in our society. They delve deep into the urgent topic of "climate justice," arguing that the sacrifice of feminine qualities, such as empathy, collaboration, and care, is a catastrophic loss that threatens the very safety of life on earth.   Join us as we explore the storied world of Sabrina Knowles and Jenny Pohlman, where art, wisdom, and sustainability are not just ideals but the tools for resistance against a world that seeks to silence the feminine voice.   Highlights you won't want to miss:   The symbolic heron: How this creature became part of their visual language, representing luck and memory in "The Wheel of Remembering and Forgetting."

Today on  Female Frequency Podcast we vibe with artist, activist, and Guggenheim fellowship winner Betsy Damon. With a focus on women's agency and knowing water, Betsy uses feminine principles of collaboration and creativity to help her realize massive projects. "As an artist, my work reveals water's true nature, as a verb. Water is creation," she says.   Discover the personal stories behind her pioneering projects like when she is on a road trip with friends across Canada and the car screeches to a halt! Betsy shares the struggles and successes behind projects like The Living Water Garden in Chengdu, China, where art and sustainable water treatment come together. Hear about her collaborations with figures like Jane Goodall and her efforts with 'Keepers of the Waters,' an organization dedicated to community-driven water stewardship.   Damon lived during the feminist movements of the 1960-present with studies at Skidmore and Columbia University.  Her work evolved from public street performances to large-scale ecological art projects. Betsy's artistic vernacular speaks to  agency, place, communities, and water ecosystems. Her memoir, Water Talks, published by Steiner Books, empowers communities to know, restore and preserve their waters.    Three Highlights in this episode: Learning from The Milky Way and River  Betsy shares fellow artists she finds inspiring such as Judy Chicago.

I have a song in my heart in this solo episode, and it goes like this: "I've got my mind on my money, and money on my mind." The younger generation, armed with books, the internet, and social media, sees more women like them succeeding because women are now openly discussing financial matters in these mediums and with each other. This shift is crucial, yet old, sticky patterns linger—especially those around money. These patterns hold us back, muting us and casting shadows on our potential.   I'm reminded that it's a wild world out there. With women's history suppressed, it hit me like lightning: Women making money is challenging the status quo.   Struggles for financial independence are closely linked to broader issues of exploitation and inequality. Just as the earth has been exploited for profit, women have been undervalued in economic systems. By reclaiming financial power, we challenge patriarchal norms and pave the way for a more just and sustainable future.   Think of trailblazers like Sara Blakely, the inventor of Spanx, and Serena Williams, a tennis legend and savvy investor challenging norms. They speak out, revealing women's struggles. Sara's recent REEL asked, "Do you know when women in the U.S. could get a business loan without a male co-signer?" The answer—1988—highlighted how women's economic empowerment disrupts power structures. It also raises questions about how women artists started their own businesses. Then there are Jerry Gogosian's REELS, warning artists to avoid art school unless they have endless money, as it's seen as a waste.   As we navigate these complexities, we can rewrite the narrative, creating a world where women's economic contributions are celebrated and valued. It's not just about making money—it's also about reclaiming our voices, our agency, and our place in shaping a more equitable society.   Join me on this journey of discovery and empowerment. Together, let's blaze a path towards a future where every woman can thrive economically, creatively, and spiritually.   Highlights You Will Learn: Women making money is challenging the status quo. Sticky feelings about money are systemic. As recently as 1988, women needed a male co-signer for business loans—just 36 years ago!

Welcome to the latest episode of Female Frequency Podcast, where we transcend the ordinary and radiate in the extraordinary power of the full moon to unlock your creative potential. Join us on a lunar journey as we explore the profound question: What are you full of?   In this special episode, we bask in the glow of the full moon, aligning ourselves with its energy to become the main character in our own story. Just as the moon reflects the world around us, it also mirrors our inner selves, helping us tap into our deepest creative sources.   Drawing inspiration from ancient traditions and spiritual practices, we embrace the moon as a symbol of reflection, intuition, and creative inspiration. As I share a few personal stories and cultural insights, we uncover the myriad names and meanings of the June full moon, from Strawberry Moon to Rose Moon, each highlighting a unique aspect of the human experience.   Our exploration goes beyond the traditional confines of creativity. We reimagine creativity as a universal force that permeates all areas of life, from problem-solving and innovation to everyday ingenuity. By adopting a creative mindset, we transform routine activities into opportunities for personal growth and self-expression. This episode offers a transformative approach to creativity and self-awareness that values and uplifts the feminine, providing a meaningful alternative to the limitations of patriarchy.   To deepen your connection with the lunar energy, I guide you through a reflective exercise, encouraging you to visualize the full moon and explore your inner landscape. This exercise fosters self-awareness and reimagines creative flow.   We also pay tribute to pioneering women like Hilma af Klint and Nancy Holt, whose works challenge conventional notions of art and spirituality.

When I asked ChatGPT what Madeleine Albright and Frida Kahlo have in common, it answered: "Both mastered the art of bold statements: Madeleine with her brooches, and Frida with her eyebrows!" I was appalled by this reductionist view. Albright, a human rights activist, broke glass ceilings with her work in politics and advocating for women's rights. Frida Kahlo is a trailblazing feminist whose art addresses issues of identity, postcolonialism, gender, and class. In reality, both women mastered art as political discourse.   In today's episode of Female Frequency, we dive into the inspiring world of women who have used art to shape history and politics. We will explore how art influences and harnesses meaningful connections, recognizing its power to engage in political discourse, initiate big conversations, and mirror societal events. Madeleine and Frida both showed us that art is a comment on the status quo.   Join me as I profile Madeleine Albright, a collector, and a U.S. diplomat known for her strategic use of pins as a communication tool. Her exhibit "Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection" features over 200 pins, each with a story and message that reflects her wit, humor, and communication style. Learn how Albright's pins served as powerful tools for cultural diplomacy and political discourse.   I'll discuss Frida Kahlo, whose paintings are a profound exploration of personal and political struggles. Kahlo's art is a bold statement against patriarchal norms, representing female autonomy and resilience. Her self-portraits and symbolic use of color provided commentary on identity and postcolonialism, breaking taboos and advocating for women's rights.   Additionally, I share pro tips on collecting art, highlighting three motivations for art acquisition and how artists can connect with potential collectors. Discover how colors, emotional connections, and personal values drive art collectors and how understanding these motivations can help artists foster lasting relationships with an audience.   4 Highlights from this episode:   Brooches & pins have been part of political discourse through history even in the era of the suffragettes. The significance of the "Read My Pins" exhibit and the stories behind Albright's pin collection, particularly the famous serpent pin. Frida Kahlo's use of art as a means of political discourse, addressing issues of postcolonialism, identity, gender, and class. Learn directly from Kahlo's journals what colors meant to here and Kahlo's contributions to feminist art.   To learn more about Jodie Nelson and Female Frequency workshops go to www.thefemalefrequency.com and follow @thefemalefrequency

Rev. Frances Fayden is in the house, and we're blowing the roof off patriarchal limitations to divine connection! As an interfaith minister, spiritual counselor and intuitive mentor, her greatest joy is enabling people to have sacred experiences of themselves and direct experiences with god – whether god appears as Mother Mary, Isis or Quan Yin. Frances champions connecting with the divine feminine through the deepest wisdom of our bodies and the earth. She shares her own journey of spiritual awareness, heartbreak, and reawakening. From the age of 7, she knew she wanted to be a priest but was told: girls cannot. Though she could read chakras and help people unblock emotions caught in the whirlpools of their energy centers. Though spirits talked to her. Years later, she joined an ashram only to be told: you do not fit. Now the Magnify Your Miracle podcast host helps countless women walk their inner path of healing, trusting in themselves, and manifesting their dreams in the world. Learn how the "Threefold Soul" of artist-mystic-healer (or creativity, ritual, and healing) can bridge heaven and earth. Explore the field of unconditional love within the female frequency. Plus! Rev Frances ends our conversation with an invitation to go within. Be guided in a special meditation to open your heart chakra and start feeling safe in yourself.   4 Things you'll learn in this episode:    I met Rev. Frances Fayden for the first time in Paris. Frances first practiced the healing arts as a massage therapist/bodyworker when she learned that chakras talked to her. All the information we could ever want to learn about ourselves resides within our bodies. Creativity, ritual and healing all bring the unseen into the seen world, and move the invisible to the visible. "The occult" (meaning magic and mysticism) has been demonized for too long. "We've been conditioned to not trust ourselves, the earth, our bodies, anything feminine and that's why we're in this pickle we're in on this planet. We need to reclaim the words, the practices, the energy to vibe with the earth."    To find guided meditations for your own direct divine experience, join a workshop, or get one-on-one mentoring, visit francesfayden.com  To find out more about Jodie Nelson and Female Frequency workshops go to www.thefemalefrequency.com and instagram@thefemalefrequency

Showing up as the main character in my life is the best choice I've ever made! Main character energy is about stepping into my power, owning my story, and embracing every aspect of who I am with unapologetic authenticity.

"You gotta find the river. You gotta jump in." Liz Childs Kelly, bristling with aliveness, rewilds us to discover the divine feminine inside us and all around us. The researcher and educator, host of Home To Her podcast and award-winning author of Home to Her: Walking the Transformative Path of the Sacred Feminine shares her own feral journey. From wearing a pair of red patent leather pumps as the uncomfortable CEO of her business consulting company, to a soul-baring encounter with Polynesian navigators that changed the course of her life forever. Liz tuned into the female frequency to find her herstory. You're invited: stray from hyperational, linear paths to discover deeper, more curious and complete ways of being in the world. We dive into how patriarchal strictures have robbed us of so much richness and our divine heritage. We reroot relationships, find magic in the everyday, and ground-truth powerful connections to place. We explore a different language of the body and its signal processing for us to rejoin the sacred feminine. We reculture words and retrace etymologies that honor the goddess and the bitch! Join us in a movement to recall and reconnect with the ancient, divine force whose creative wisdom empowers us to heal ourselves, our communities, and our planet from within.       4 Things you'll learn in this episode:   Pacific Islander wayfinders could sail thousands of miles on open ocean voyages without the use of any modern instrumentation because they exist in such deep relationship with the natural world — reading the wind, swells, birds, clouds, stars, "attuned to the wisdom of their own hearts." Learning the language of the body requires us to quiet the mind to listen to the indwelling presence of the divine feminine god within us. The bone that both Liz Childs Kelly and I have to pick with the patriarchal descriptors of the oldest known image of a woman giving birth, found in the Musée d'Aquitaine in Bordeaux, France. Before its vulgarization, "son of a bitch" was used to refer, respectfully, to the followers of the goddess Diana.   To explore deeper sacred feminine connections and practices, listen to Liz Child Kelly's podcast: home-to-her.captivate.fm; read her book: hometoher.com/home-to-her-book; join her course: hometoheracademy.com    To find out more about Jodie Nelson and Female Frequency workshops go to pressreign.com  and [email protected]

What if the mountains, rivers and plants are, in fact, our living ancestors? What if the land and forests are relatives, and not "resources" to extract and exploit? How would that knowledge inform the way we act moving forward?    Get ready to explore your inner forests as we dive deep with Osprey Orielle Lake—international activist, changemaker, and author of The Story in Our Bones: How Worldviews and Climate Justice Can Remake a World in Crisis. A game changer in the canon of ecofeminism, Osprey draws on decades of her experience as founder and director of the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN) to bring forth the embodied solutions and stories we need to hear now more than ever. Osprey's work teases out the root causes of our modern disease—the harmful dominant worldviews of patriarchy, white supremacy, human dominion over nature, and separation from a living Earth. She maps possible paths forward by retracing our origin stories back to ancient, life-sustaining principles. The Story in Our Bones looks to the marrow of things. Literally, we are made of stardust. We evolved from our elemental, plant, and animal ancestors as part and particle of one miraculous lifesystem. Osprey reminds us that within our bones "is a place of world-making, of creativity," regenerative energy, and healing forces. From the atomic to the cellular views, Osprey takes us into more expansive knowledge systems that restore our kinship to this animate cosmology. How can remembering our earth lineage, the awe within our bodies, influence our policies, social structures and daily choices? Learn how we can be a life-enhancing, rather than life-destroying, species by returning to our origins and lifting women's voices. Join us in summoning a new paradigm for being in the Anthropocene and beyond.    4 Things you'll learn in this episode:      How both Osprey and I have been influenced by female iconography: sculptures that have led us to be curious and ask more questions about sacred connections. Osprey recounts that what started it all for her was a black clay statue of a goddess holding a stalk of corn in one hand, and the moon in the other. The circular nature between women, earth, protection, and planting began to emerge for her at the age of 8. Systemic gender inequality means that women are impacted "first and worst" by environmental degradation, but women are also proving to be the keystone to the solutions we need. In the Itombwe Rainforest of the Democratic Republic of Congo, a community of women earth defenders have created nurseries and reforested swaths of devastated lands with hundreds of thousands of trees – all by hand, without any technical equipment, in the course of 8 years.  80 percent of the biodiversity left on earth is in the lands and hands of indigenous peoples who are stewarding them.      To buy her book and go deeper, visit: ospreyoriellelake.earth.
