In today's WOVXN Motherhood, Theresa talks about compassion fatigue. Doing compassionate work and caregiving, mothering, showing up for her husband, and being there for friends, there were a lot of people she cared about and a lot of needs around her. She started to notice something in herself; a coiling, a want to withdraw, an inability to disconnect and prioritize herself. At Interwovxn we are sharing stories to normalize, educate, and build community around our experiences so we feel less alone and more empowered. For more about Theresa: InterwovxnIG At Interwovxn, we believe women’s health should never feel rushed, overlooked, or one-size-fits-all.

She helps women who feel everything deeply calm their nervous systems, interrupt the spiral, and transform how they handle conflict, challenges, and life itself – so they’re not just surviving the hard moments, they’re growing through them. When you trust yourself again, everything shifts. You don’t just come home to yourself – you evolve into a more grounded, powerful version of yourself. You create a life that finally feels like your own. And you are, at all times, only one choice away from trusting yourself more. For more about Sue: Sue BrucknerAt Interwovxn, we believe women’s health should never feel rushed, overlooked, or one-size-fits-all.

In today's episode, Interwovxn welcomes Suzanne Spencer. Suzanne knows a thing or two about when the script of life changes. She spent a decade as a TV news reporter and anchor in Milwaukee — someone used to delivering the story. Then in 2021, she was diagnosed with a brain tumor and became the story. She’d go on to have brain surgery while becoming a first-time mom. She went from the delivery room, to the operating room, and came out on the other side with a new perspective on what it means to keep going. Now, Suzanne delivers keynotes to audiences across the country helping them move forward when the script changes by turning setbacks into growth and possibility. Today, Suzanne brings that same energy to us, walking us through why mindset matters, and gives us one practical trick to check — and shift — our own. To learn more about Suzanne:Suzanne SpencerIGYouTubeLinkedInAt Interwovxn, we believe women’s health should never feel rushed, overlooked, or one-size-fits-all.

In this episode, Theresa talks about one of her favorite topics, emotional dissonance. It's how we experience two seemingly contradictory emotions at the same time and motherhood is full of those moments. It's how mothers feel one way but work to show the world outside of them a different version. It's loving your child and motherhood but grieving parts of your former life. We are giving each other permission to feel all of the feelings. For more about Theresa: InterwovxnIGThis episode is supported by The Mood Food Method.

In today's episode Clara Healing Institute founder and clinical director Kristin Belkofer hosts a group of women to talk about life with ADHD. Kristin breaks down the diagnosis and the experience lived by many women, easing the stigma through greater understanding.

Our circle of women shares what ADHD means to them as mothers, entrepreneurs, and women in middle life. They talk about the process of unmasking ADHD, how it is often missed in women, how it presents differently in men vs. women, the relationship to anxiety and depression, diagnosis later in life, and what they label means to them. Clara Healing InstituteIGJenna KashouIGJobea MurrayIGKrista McCainIGNydia Maurás-JonesLinkedInthe INTERWOVXN podcast is hosted and produced by Theresa Kopac + Rebecca Jankowski. audio EDITING and MIXING: Theresa Kopacdesign and NEWSLETTER: Rebecca JankowskiMUSIC: Gina Barrington of Rose of the Westbackground cover ART: Mary Osmundsensubscribe to our NEWSLETTER and get our free WOVXN Wellness Guides @interwovxn.comWith this project, we are creating space for women to share their stories.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the unique challenges faced by highly sensitive women navigating the emotional complexities of parenthood and divorce. Sue Bruckner, a licensed professional counselor and relationship coach for highly sensitive women talks with us about the importance of identifying our values, establishing self-compassion, and creating change from a place of love. Being highly sensitive often means feeling deeply, processing emotions with intensity, and having a heightened awareness of others' feelings—traits that can make a difficult life transition even more overwhelming. But despite the challenges, sensitivity can also be a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery. Today, we’ll discuss the emotional demands of divorce, how sensitivity impacts the process, and ways to embrace your emotional landscape during this transformative time.
