"I've always felt women's voices are not present enough in public discourse, so I created this podcast - a space where women's stories can be heard. Women like you and me, ordinary and extraordinary at the same time. I will interview inspiring women I met in my life, but also give a chance to bring up the ones from previous generations."

I will talk about:
- relationships with people, and the ones we have with our bodies
- female sexuality and eroticism
- why it is important to reveal your inner goddess
- our passions, things that help us get out of bed each morning
- being a woman at work and female entrepreneurship
- motherhood in its both wonderful and hard aspects
- self-love and how to take care of ourselves, both physically and mentally.

Dear Women, Let's Talk!

My friend Alena Grahn decided to share with you her intimate journey through motherhood and discovering herself anew. We're bombarded by images of picture-perfect moms and seemingly no-problem experience of giving a birth to a new human being. Alena shares her personal perspective on that and then we dive deep into the topic of finding balance between being a mother and being a woman, allowing yourself to experience pleasure and "reclaiming" your pussy.

Even though it may seem like an episode for moms only - please don't get discouraged, we promise no baby talk. We share thoughts important for any woman - with or without children.

An episode I recorded May 6, 2020 in the heat of protests for racial equality worldwide. I realized that even though I never considered myself a racist, I also never pursued learning and reading more about inspiring black female artists. I decided to change it and did a personal research which brought to my attention 3 wonderful black female photographers, that I dedicated this episode to: Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe, Carrie Mae Weems and Denisse Ariana Pérez.
