    Can you believe we're on Season 10?!?!

    We have been feeling all the feelings with what has been going on in the world right now. We share our thoughts while enjoying a lovely bottle of Domaine Moutard Brut Blanc de Blancs. We talk about the challenges facing us as women, as businesspeople, as compassionate and empathetic members of society, and how we are trying to keep some hope in our lives. Our conversation is real and authentic as always. We're so glad to be back in front of the microphones because we need to be connected with each other as well as with you our listeners. We talk about celebrating the small wins in our lives as a form of self-care and hope you will do the same. Drop us a note, tell us how you're doing.

  • Bonus - Lipedema: The Disease they call FAT; Guest: Dr. Katherine Seo; Wine: Emmolo

    Bonus - Lipedema: The Disease they call FAT; Guest: Dr. Katherine Seo; Wine: Emmolo
    Jun 18 2024
    June is Lipedema Awareness Month! So we thought we'd share this episode again - originally released in February 2020 - to do our part in raising awareness for this progressive fat disorder disease. Feel free to share this episode with anyone you think would benefit from learning about and knowing more about Lipedema: The Disease they call FAT!*********Michelle and Emily share a decadent bottle of Emmolo wine while learning about Lipedema with their guest Dr. Catherine Seo, founder of Lipedema Simplified.They learn the difference between Lipedema and Lymphedema (listen to Season 1, Episode 24 "The Beauty Queen with the Big Leg" to learn about Amy Rivera's battle with Lymphedema.) From www.Lipedema-Simplified.org: Lipedema is a relatively common fat disorder that is often mistaken for simple obesity. Its clinical diagnosis is an adipose tissue disorder or a lipid metabolism disorder. A typical lipedema patient is a woman who struggles with large hips and legs, usually out of proportion to the rest of her body. Lipedema also appears in the upper arms. One of the hallmarks of the disease is that lipedema fat is relatively unresponsive to diet and exercise. These measures may lead to weight loss in other areas, but the size of the hips and legs remains disproportionately large.Lipedema affects over 17 million women in the United States. However, 98% don't know, instead they think they're to blame. They discuss fat shaming, society's fat bias, and the medical community's ignorance of Lipedema. They discuss early signs (family history - genetic link), therapies (nutrition, movement, decongestive therapy, manual lymphatic drainage massage, compression pumps), prevention (nutrition, movement, lifestyle changes, awareness). Dr. Seo's organization, Lipedema-Simplified, focus on five factors needed to have a full life while managing Lipedema: physical, mental, psychological, emotional, and social.Dr. Seo's documentary called: "Lipedema - The Disease they call Fat" is available for free on Facebook or for purchase on Amazon.Thank you for listening and subscribing to Cliterally Speaking the Podcast.

  • Part Two - Riot Days: A Conversation with Pussy Riot's Maria Alyokhina

    Part Two - Riot Days: A Conversation with Pussy Riot's Maria Alyokhina
    Jan 16 2024

    Michelle and Emily welcome Maria Alyokhina (Masha) of Pussy Riot to the podcast. Pussy Riot was visiting St. Louis for a concert through a special arrangement with Barrett Barrera Projects. Listen to this intimate, informative, and powerful conversation with Masha as she tells the story of Pussy Riot, her time in the Russian penal colony, life after incarceration, and the challenges of speaking out and making art under a dictatorship. Masha remains hopeful for the world, taking inspiration from the suffragettes and feminist activists around the world.


    "The world needs feminism"


    "Art Can Change the World"


    "Without the fight, it will all disappear..."

    • Masha Alyokhina


    If you haven't listened to the episode right before this (Part One - Riot Days) where Michelle & Emily talk about the impact of meeting Pussy Riot and the subsequent conversations, we highly recommend that you do.

    You can follow Pussy Riot on Instagram @pussyriot and YouTube @wearepussyriot

    You can get Masha's book Riot Days on Amazon. Here's the description from Amazon.

    "A Pussy Rioter’s riveting, hallucinatory account of her years in Russia’s criminal system and of finding power in the most powerless of situations


    In February 2012, after smuggling an electric guitar into Moscow’s iconic central cathedral, Maria Alyokhina and other members of the radical collective Pussy Riot performed a provocative “Punk Prayer,” taking on the Orthodox Church and its support for Vladimir Putin’s authoritarian regime.


    For this, they were charged with “organized hooliganism” and were tried while confined in a cage and guarded by Rottweilers. That trial and Alyokhina’s subsequent imprisonment became an international cause. For Alyokhina, her two-year sentence launched a bitter struggle against the Russian prison system and an iron-willed refusal to be deprived of her humanity. Teeming with protests and police, witnesses and cellmates, informers and interrogators, Riot Days gives voice to Alyokhina’s insistence on the right to say no, whether to a prison guard or to the president. Ultimately, this insistence delivers unprecedented victories for prisoners’ rights.


    Evocative, wry, laser-sharp, and laconically funny, Alyokhina’s account is studded with song lyrics, legal transcripts, and excerpts from her jail diary―dispatches from a young woman who has faced tyranny and returned with the proof that against all odds even one person can force its retreat."
