  <description>Who or what is the sacred feminine, and why is her wisdom essential at this time in our collective evolution? 
Liz Childs Kelly is one of my favorite people, and while I have not known her long, she is someone that feels so familiar - as if I’ve always known her. I fell into an instant kinship with her after she interviewed me on her own podcast, Home To HER, which I highly recommend subscribing to.
In this episode, we dish about her work with the sacred feminine and how the sacred feminine intersects with all things mysterious, Indigenous, natural, messy, and wild. She is everything and yet defies definition. In many ways, she is paradox itself! Enjoy our nuanced and delicious conversation and laugh along with us as we try to find the language to describe the sacred feminine. In addition, we share some personal stories about messy human “stuff” that’s coming up in our everyday lives and why these gritty conversations need more space and grace in honor of the sacred feminine. 
Liz shares her personal story of awakening to the sacred feminine and who she was before and who she was after. 
What does the word “sacred” mean when describing the feminine source? 
Hear how Liz has come to know her own experience with the sacred feminine and how it influences her work in the world. 
Listen in as we talk about God as a male and why we call “bull” on that. 
Liz realized that there were gaps in our spiritual experiences - especially the spiritual nature of childbirth. 
Why were women purposefully steered away from knowing her story? How can knowing our herstory and actual history help us reclaim the sacred feminine? 
What is the connection between the sacred feminine and the natural world? 
Learn about Liz's experience in mystery school. 
Why does life get so much better after uncovering the hidden wisdom of the sacred feminine? 
How can we reclaim our relationship with the sacred feminine? Join us to learn what we can do to seek and explore more of her in our lives. 
Liz Childs Kelly is a writer, Sacred Feminine researcher and educator, community builder, initiated priestess in the 13 Moons Lineage, and the host of the Home to Her podcast, which is dedicated to amplifying the voices of the Sacred Feminine. She is also the co-host of the Revelry series of online events, which invite women from around the world to participate in ecstatic, embodied celebrations of the gifts of each season, and she is an instructor in the social change platform Advaya's upcoming 12-week online course, The Call of the Wild Feminine. Liz is in the process of completing her first book, titled Home to Her: Reclaiming the Ancient Wisdom of the Sacred Feminine. She is a mother of two and currently lives in central Virginia, USA, on the ancestral lands of the Monacan people.

  <description>My inner child met Angela’s inner child at a business event a year ago and we fell in love. When I found out that Angela’s passion is archiving women’s stories I became obsessed with learning more. As the family historian in my own life, I have always been curious about the absence of the female storyline. I’ve come to realize that this isn’t just a personal issue, but a global one, and that’s why Angela's work is so important. Until we learn our herstory, and that of minorities, we will never have an accurate or complete history. In today's episode, we discuss the trance of unworthiness and its relationship to archive-building and storytelling.
Angela Todd is an archivist, historian, and activist. She has always been THAT girl: talking to wise elders in the grocery store; reading women's stories; asking her kid “where are the women on that Lego spaceship?”, always looking for the women, and seeking out their stories. Now she's on a mission to capture women's stories and to preserve them. Her work is shaped by the belief that every woman has a story worth saving, and that history needs the stories of women and other marginalized folks to even approach living up to its name. 
Angela has a BA in women's studies, MA in literary and cultural theory, and did her PhD work in cultural studies.
Show notes:
* Women’s stories are usually relegated to the sidelines of history.
* We don’t have World history or American history without women’s history. 
* Many women don’t believe they have a story to tell, and this must change. 
* Ordinary women have extraordinary stories. 
* We always think someone else has the story or the beauty or the experience.
* The facts of your life are so much more powerful when they are put in the context of a story. 
* Our stories can be an inheritance, and our history is made more rich and complex and often illuminate great deeds done by those that might not have made it into the history books. 
* Hurt people hurt people, but invisible people make more invisible people. 
* There are structures in place that shape everything and the patriarchy is one of them. 
* Famous people’s stories are very scripted and not usually helpful when it comes to authentic storytelling. 
* In order to archive your story you need 3 things: your voice, your papers, your photographs. 
* History is incomplete without the stories of women and minorities. 
* Angela is often hired by daughters and many women are gaining a lot of healing by collecting parts of their family history. 
* Keep your important papers, photos, recordings in a cardboard box and put them on a shelf in a closet.
* Make a plan to share your archives and pass the information on to the historian in your family or an actual archive, repositories. 
* Our colleges, universities, town records, church groups - we can find a place to pass along our archives and there are organizations that would like to preserve them.

<ul>
<li>Women’s stories are usually relegated to the sidelines of history.</li>
<li>We don’t have World history or American history without women’s history. </li>
<li>Many women don’t believe they have a story to tell, and this must change. </li>
<li>Ordinary women have extraordinary stories. </li>
<li>We always think someone else has the story or the beauty or the experience.</li>
<li>The facts of your life are so much more powerful when they are put in the context of a story. </li>
<li>Our stories can be an inheritance, and our history is made more rich and complex and often illuminate great deeds done by those that might not have made it into the history books. </li>
<li>Hurt people hurt people, but invisible people make more invisible people. </li>
<li>There are structures in place that shape everything and the patriarchy is one of them. </li>
<li>Famous people’s stories are very scripted and not usually helpful when it comes to authentic storytelling. </li>
<li>In order to archive your story you need 3 things: your voice, your papers, your photographs. </li>
<li>History is incomplete without the stories of women and minorities. </li>
<li>Angela is often hired by daughters and many women are gaining a lot of healing by collecting parts of their family history. </li>
<li>Keep your important papers, photos, recordings in a cardboard box and put them on a shelf in a closet.</li>
<li>Make a plan to share your archives and pass the information on to the historian in your family or an actual archive, repositories. </li>
<li>Our colleges, universities, town records, church groups - we can find a place to pass along our archives and there are organizations that would like to preserve them.  </li>
