    The Power of Trusting Your Inner Voice

    In this episode, Johanna and Heather bring in special guest Christina Hartment to dig into intuition—how we reclaim it after a lifetime of being told not to trust ourselves. We talk about taking up space, unlearning the scripts around women’s worth, and why self-trust is a radical act. Christina shares her own journey of following intuition, embracing vulnerability, and redefining success on her own terms. This conversation is about rebuilding trust in ourselves—and helping other women do the same.

    Deviant Bodies & the Myth of “Normal”

    In this episode of Feed the Matriarchy, we’re joined by sociologist Ignacia Eschelbach to unpack how bodies come to be labeled “normal” or “deviant”—and who benefits from those classifications. From “too thin” to “too fat,” “too much” to “not enough,” we explore how the rubric for women’s bodies is constantly shifting, ensuring perpetual failure by design. Together, we examine the social, political, and economic forces behind body judgment—and what resistance looks like when we stop turning that scrutiny inward and start naming the system instead.

    Matrescence: Learning to Take Up Space

    In our first-ever guest episode, we sit down with Jenn Heettner to unpack the profound, often messy, and beautiful transition known as matrescence. Much like adolescence, the shift into motherhood is a total identity overhaul, yet society often expects us to navigate it quietly. Jenn joins us to discuss the radical act of taking up space—emotionally, physically, and socially—during a time when the world often asks us to shrink. We dive deep into the practical side of this transition, discussing how to scaffold support for yourself during the postpartum period so you aren’t just surviving, but actually held. Whether you are currently in the thick of it or preparing for the journey, this episode is a permission slip to stop "toughing it out" and start building your village. During our conversation, we reference the Black Women’s Health Imperative (BWHI), an organization dedicated to improving the health and wellness of Black women and girls, specifically through their contributions to Black maternal support and advocacy. Including the link for those that feel compelled to show support.

    The Great Un-Dieting (Part 2): What Comes Next?

    In this follow-up to our deep dive into the diets, Heather and Johanna explore the quiet, often radical act of rediscovering your own autonomy. Now that we’ve started to dismantle the external rules, we’re asking the big question: What comes next? They discuss the messy, beautiful process of tuning back into your inner voice and learning to trust your intuition after years of being told it couldn't be trusted. From navigating hunger cues to honoring emotional needs, this episode covers all that "listening to yourself" actually entails—moving past the noise of the world and finally coming home to your own body.

    The Great Un-Dieting: Breaking the Cycle and Reclaiming Yourself

    In this episode, Heather and Johanna pull back the curtain on the relentless cycle of the diet industry, tracing its history and the ways it has shaped our relationship with food. They get vulnerable about their own years of "experimentation" from the fad diets that promised everything to the quiet exhaustion of constant restriction. They share their personal histories of diets and when they finally said, "fuck it, it's time to get off the roller coaster". This raw, honest look talks about what it actually takes to break free from the noise and finally start feeding the matriarchy from a place of self-trust.
