Feed the Matriarchy

Feed the Matriarchy is a sister-led podcast serving up real talk about food, body image, parenting, and feminist rebellion—while amplifying matriarchal voices across the spectrum. Each week, we unpack the ways diet culture and patriarchy have shaped our relationship with our bodies, our choices, and our worth, while highlighting the groundbreaking ways women are holding families, communities, and culture together—and changing them for the better. Through conversations with women and changemakers from many lived experiences, we explore what it means to truly nourish ourselves: not just with food, but with rest, pleasure, connection, courage, and truth.

    Living with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis: Body Image, Desire, and Resilience

    In this episode of Feed the Matriarchy, we sit down with Penny MacDonell to talk about living with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, navigating body image, and learning to see herself as beautiful in a world that rarely reflected bodies like hers. Penny shares her journey through chronic illness, medical procedures, family support, and the emotional impact of societal beauty standards that often exclude disabled and diverse bodies. Together, we explore disability, desirability, representation, and what it means to reclaim joy, sexuality, and self-acceptance at every stage of life. This is a powerful conversation about resilience, identity, and learning to love the body you live in.
