    Dr. Cheyanne Nance: Reclaiming Power through Healing, Integrity & Radical Compassion

    Dr. Cheyanne Nance is a neurologically‑focused chiropractor, first‑generation scholar, and founder of Wheelhouse Chiropractic—a traveling practice dedicated to “bringing health home” to Savannah and Southeast Georgia. After witnessing systemic failures in traditional health care, she committed her life to creating generational change. From her early days studying psychology at the University of Oregon to earning her Doctor of Chiropractic cum laude from Life University, Dr. Cheyanne’s path has always been guided by a desire to heal—not just bodies, but people, communities, and systems. In this vibrant conversation, Cheyanne tells stories about how her lineage of women—in particular her mother and grandmother—seeded her belief in possibility, responsibility, and excellence. From being the first in her family to graduate high school to her journey into chiropractic and positive psychology, Cheyanne illustrates how education, service, and intentional action can transform lives and communities. Dr. Cheyanne reminds us that healing is a revolution. That resilience, authenticity, and radical self‑care are acts of resistance. And that the more women who claim their power and show up in their full brilliance, the better our world becomes.

    From the Dawn Into the Light: Melanie Baron on Spiritual Rebellion and Sacred Feminine Power

    In this deeply nourishing and spiritually charged episode, we meet Melanie Ann Baron, also known by her sacred name Yllari Saaskun, a spiritual teacher, healer, and channel living in Germany. For over 30 years, Melanie has walked the path of the Divine Feminine, guiding others through shamanic healing, pilgrimages, and the mystical transmissions of Mary Magdalene. Her definition of a f*****g cool woman is steeped in soul-guided courage: someone who stands up, steps out, and follows the call—no matter the cost. Melanie reminds us that “the soul is leading you, and you have to do it.” Her passion for empowering women to reclaim their voices and reconnect with their sacred wisdom is palpable throughout this conversation. We discuss the resurgence of Mary Magdalene as a guide for our time, what it means to live as a spiritual rebel, and how respecting, encouraging, and celebrating one another is a return to ancient feminine values. Melanie also reads a powerful transmission from Mary Magdalene—a rallying call for healers, visionaries, and wise women everywhere. Melanie is also a co-author of the powerful anthology Unleashing the Courageous Feminine: 13 Stories of Strength, Grace, and Awakening Through Adversity—available now on Amazon. Her chapter, “Courage, Compassion, and Love: My Journey with Mary Magdalene,” is a moving transmission that speaks to the heart of her work and the spirit of the FCW Society. This episode is a radiant reminder that FCWs are not only courageous truth-tellers—they are keepers of the light in times of darkness. https://linktr.ee/info.i.m.baron Support the FCW Podcast:If you love what you’re hearing, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review the show on your favorite podcast platform.  Help us spread the word about the F*cking Cool Women making a difference in the world!

    The Power of Repair: Nance Schick on Healing, Boundaries, and Being Human

    In this special, full-length episode of the FCW Society Podcast, Joanne sits down for an uncut, deeply delightful 40-minute conversation with the brilliant Nance Schick for a rich, unfiltered conversation on what it really means to embody FCW values—Respect, Encourage, Celebrate—in work, relationships, and everyday life. Nance is a New York-based employment attorney and global workplace mediator with a passion for keeping people out of court and guiding them toward healing, dignity, and solutions. With over two decades of experience—including HR roles at UPS and years working with sports professionals—Nance brings both compassion and strategic insight to her work. She’s on a mission to create healthier work cultures by helping people resolve conflict before it escalates. This episode is full of laughs, vulnerability, and fiercely honest insights. Nance shares why she believes being a “f*****g cool woman” means constantly working on yourself, setting boundaries, holding compassion without enabling, and embracing complexity. “I think I’m an FCW in training—and the training never ends,” she says. And that kind of humility is the heart of cool. Tune in for:  A reframe on empowerment vs. enabling  The case for mediation over litigation (and why courts rarely offer healing)  What workplaces and family systems get wrong about conflict  Why collaboration is the business model of the future  What she’s learned from working with men—and why men need new models, too If you’ve ever struggled to trust your power, set healthy boundaries, or speak truth with kindness, this conversation is for you. As Nance says: “Keep listening with your third ear for the hurt you can heal.” Nance’s Links https://thirdearcr.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/nanceschick/ https://www.facebook.com/home.php https://www.youtube.com/@thirdearCR Support the FCW Podcast:If you love what you’re hearing, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review the show on your favorite podcast platform.  Help us spread the word about the F*cking Cool Women making a difference in the world!

  6. Kindness Without Compromise: Rebecca Davis on Respect, Power & Purpose

    Kindness Without Compromise: Rebecca Davis on Respect, Power & Purpose

    “When you know who you are, nothing can stop you.” - Rebecca Davis In this powerful and emotionally resonant episode, we sit down with Rebecca Davis, a freelance writer, deep thinker, and founder of the Not Your Enemy Project, a bold initiative committed to reducing estrangement and building bridges between people with differing beliefs. Through face-to-face dialogues, honest storytelling, and creative tools like staged readings of failed conversations, Rebecca is helping people unlearn their assumptions and reconnect with one another on a human level. Rebecca’s work is rooted in the radical idea that true respect starts with accountability—for yourself and others. As she puts it, a F*cking Cool Woman is someone who stands fully in her power without needing to dominate, who would rather walk alone than abandon her truth, and who knows that kindness, authenticity, and emotional responsibility are non-negotiables. In this conversation, we dive deep into what it means to pursue friendship with intention, to disrupt the status quo with clarity and grace, and to embrace the full arc of becoming—at every age. Rebecca shares why multi-generational friendships matter, how respect opens the door to understanding, and why women’s friendships are one of the most valuable forms of love we can experience. Rebecca is a Fu*cking Cool Woman because she lives the values of Respect, Encourage, Celebrate by daring to do the hard emotional work—asking hard questions, having hard conversations, and believing in people anyway. Her mission is nothing short of transformation: to help people see each other, not as enemies, but as possibilities for connection and growth.  NOTE:  The song mentions about “doiong the hard stuff” - We Can Do the Hard Stuff by Tish Melton (It’s really good!!)   Connect with Rebecca Davis: youtube.com/@notyourenemyproject instagram: @notyourenemyproject Support the FCW Podcast:If you love what you’re hearing, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review the show on your favorite podcast platform.  Help us spread the word about the F*cking Cool Women making a difference in the world!

    Permission to Be Gloriously You: Chris Zydel on Art, Soul, and Self-Liberation

    In this radiant and soul-nourishing episode, we welcome Chris Zydel, also known as The Wild Heart Queen, a woman whose very life is a devotion to creativity, healing, and radical self-expression. As the founder of Creative Juices Arts, Chris has spent over 45 years guiding emotionally sensitive, spiritually curious, and creatively hungry people back to their authentic selves through painting, permission, and wild-hearted play. Chris believes—no, knows—that every single one of us is gloriously creative. And she's made it her love-soaked mission to prove it. Through her transformative Painting From the Wild Heart programs, creative mentoring, and evolutionary astrology, she creates nurturing sanctuaries where people can feel seen, heard, and celebrated in their messy, brilliant, beautiful becoming. In this conversation, Chris shares her definition of a F*****g Cool Woman: someone doing her own thing, following what captivates her, and showing up with heart and truth. With characteristic warmth and humor, she reminds us that emotional honesty, self-trust, and creativity are revolutionary acts, and that our deepest power lies in honoring what lights us up, without apology. Chris is a F*****g Cool Woman because she embodies the values of Respect, Encourage, Celebrate in every brushstroke, every offering, every wild-hearted word. Her work is a living testament to the healing power of creativity, the magic of vulnerability, and the joy of creating a life on your own terms. https://www.creativejuicesarts.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-zydel-171849/ https://www.facebook.com/chris.zydel/ https://www.instagram.com/wildheartqueen/ Support the FCW Podcast:If you love what you’re hearing, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review the show on your favorite podcast platform.  Help us spread the word about the F*cking Cool Women making a difference in the world!

    Emotional Intelligence & Everyday Grace: Christine Larkin’s Cool Woman Philosophy

    In this heartfelt and thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Christine Larkin—an actor, storyteller, lifelong New Yorker, and wisdom-sharer with a gift for reflection and real talk. Raised in a creatively curious and open-minded family, Christine’s life has been shaped by a deep appreciation for the arts, the value of kindness, and the belief that emotional intelligence and humility are what truly make someone cool. Through honest stories—some funny, some painful, all revealing—Christine opens up about what it means to be a F*****g Cool Woman in a world that doesn’t always make space for softness or self-awareness. Whether it's owning her mistakes, celebrating her sisters, or recognizing the quiet strength of women like her mother, Christine reminds us that true coolness isn’t about being loud or flashy—it’s about knowing who you are and walking through life with grace, accountability, and kindness. Christine is a F*****g Cool Woman because she lives by the values of Respect, Encourage, Celebrate every single day. She respects the dignity of others, even when it’s hard. She encourages people to pursue joy, purpose, and truth. And she celebrates not just success, but growth—and all the messy, beautiful moments that come with it.
