    POP-UP EPISODE || DEAR MEN: How You Can Do The Right Thing Right Now

    Hi Hi Hi I'm so glad you're here! This POP-UP episode was recorded especially for the men who want to do the right thing right now. To my Sisters - You can listen and take notes or just share the link to men in your life and ask them to listen. I speak to them directly and edited it down to 30 minutes. This episode is 101 level teaching and probably best suited for white-hetero-cis men who tend to have the widest blindspots and knowledge gaps (yes, I blame Patriarchy for this too), but there are probably nuggets in here for anyone.  Dear men - I am a life coach, mentor and counselor who has worked with women for 22 years and studied patriarchy intensively for over 10 years. I made this podcast because we need you. You are still reading this, so I assume you are open to learning. That's a beautiful thing!  If you appreciate that I took the time to teach and advise you through this channel (when I really wanted to be at the silent sauna where I usually go on Friday afternoons) you can signal that appreciation through a financial payment of any amount. My Venmo handle is @meganjowilson.  This may be confronting or uncomfortable for you and that's okay! I've been there and I know you can handle it and I promise you'll be so glad you did. The way out is through.  xoxo  MJ  Here are the highlights I'll start with advice for Men right now: Do not lean on women to process these issues unless given explicit permission. Research and educate yourself independently - or with other men - through books, articles, and podcasts and by training the algorithms on your social media accounts.  Commit to doing this research at your own pace forever.  Notice and interrupt misogynistic thoughts inside of yourself. Notice and interrupt misogynistic behavior from oteher men. Recognize invisible and unpaid labor performed by women and step in to lighten the load without asking "What can I do?"  Understand that "not all men" is an unhelpful defense that centers male feelings and signals that you are okay with the MANY other men who are assaulting, degrading, raping, and killing women (Black, brown and trans Women especially) and have been for centuries.  Core themes: Patriarchy and misogyny - How these systems harm both women and men. Violence against women - Including sexual assault, rape, death and systemic abuse. The Epstein Files - Recent revelations about powerful people involved in child exploitation and trafficking and the impact it's having on women and those who have been sexually assaulted.  Women's rage, grief, annoyance and exhaustion - The emotional toll of living under patriarchal systems. Men's responsibility - Misogyny is a man problem just as White Supremacy is a white-people problem. Without your participation, it will not end.  The current political administration and its threats to women's rights. The men's loneliness epidemic and why women are dating and marrying less and expecting something bigger than financial stability from men.  The importance of men confronting other men about sexist behavior. The many ways that Women have to be cautious with all men until you show with your words and actions that you are a safe harbor.  It is my deep prayer that this enlightens and inspires you to do the right thing.  Follow me on Instagram HERE to get your algorithmic shift started! I share many accounts every week that will change your life.  Go to meganjowilson.com to learn more about the work I do and know that I am in your corner.

Follow the show: The Oprah Podcast Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@Oprah?sub_confirmation=1 New York Times best-selling author Kathryn Stockett talks with Oprah about her long-awaited novel The Calamity Club. She reveals how daunting it was to write a second novel in the wake of the success and the criticism of her smash debut hit The Help. The book sold over fifteen million copies, rose to number one and was on the best-seller list for more than two years. In 2011 it became a hit movie garnering four Oscar nominations and an Oscar win for Octavia Spencer as Best Supporting Actress. In The Calamity Club Kathryn shifts her perspective and writes a coming-of-age story set in the Depression era South about its two main characters Birdie and Meg. Kathryn explains how the cast of characters live inside her and yearn for expression through her written word. She shares her desire to tackle shocking challenges that women faced during that time. She says eventually the story evolved into an adventure about a group of bold, unbreakable women who overcome incredible hardships to reclaim their lives. The camaraderie, courage, resilience and the love between these characters will have you crying one page and laughing out loud the next.

    SEASON ONE || EPISODE 10: How to Revolutionize your Resolutions in 2026: And Why You Don't Need a New Year To Change Your Life

    There is something beautiful to locate in the idea that we can all commit to change. To doing better. That we can reinvent ourselves.  AND.  There's just something about that Calendar Year change that ignites our inner Patriarchal Perfectionist to hammer ourselves into a Self-Improvement plan that will truly stick - that will truly make us happy at last!  We call them "New Years Resolutions" and they are typically a short list of b******t that never sticks anyway which is exactly what the Patriarchy wants.  In this episode, I'm going to break it down and give you the path to Revolutionized Resolutions that you can return to at any time of the year!  Some highlights:  The important distinction between Goals and Desires - and how to define them both as you F**k up The Patriarchy in your own unique way.  How America's 2026 New Years Resolutions are the same self-absorbed nonsense they've always been. Why you need to get at the root of your Desires instead of trying to fix and conform yourself. My "F**k The Patriarchy" edits to the most common resolutions (Lose weight, Save money, Reduce stress at work... you know the ones).  Why setting unattainable Goals and limp Desires serves the Patriarchy every time.  And why you never ever need a calendar date to reinvent yourself and be and do better for yourself and your world.  It's never too late and I'd love to help you with that journey.  To inquire about working with me privately, click HERE.  You can also read my chapter on how Women get all f****d up around their Desires by downloading my book, "No More Playing Small" right HERE.  You're doing great.  Don't let the Bastards grind you down!  xoxo  MJ

    SEASON ONE || EPISODE 9: How Patriarchy Turned Winter Goddesses into an Old White Man.

    What makes the Sparkling Magic of the Holidays?  The decorated hearth... The presents wrapped with care... The warm cookies and feasts prepared on a beautiful table...  Is it Santa? An invisible Elf?!  F**k no.  Holiday Magic is created by Women's unpaid invisible labor. The more invisible it is, the more Magic we experience!  Tune in to this episode to understand:  How the German Winter Goddesses "Perchta" and "Frau Holle" were the true originators of Provision and Protection for Women and children. Why Benevolent Goddesses were intentionally transformed into witches, crones, or erased entirely.  How the bishop St. Nick made the Goddesses more palatable in Europe.  And why America created Santa Clause - A fat old white man with a corporate sponsorship and an uncanny ability to organize global gift-giving in a single night.  As always, I'll leave you with an inquiry and some ideas for how you can protect your peace, enjoy more of the magic for yourself, and honor the Modern Goddess that YOU are.  You can certainly do your own research on Winter Goddesses - Here are a few links to articles you can share with your people: Goddess Perchta HERE.   Frau Holle HERE.  To learn more about the magic I create, go to www.meganjowilson.com.

    SEASON ONE || EPISODE 8: Required Reading: "The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone..." by Heather McGhee

    "But what will I have to give up if everyone gets what they need?!" If you have ever noticed this question swirling in your space when you hear about programs, incentives or legislation to support historically undervalued and oppressed communities... This episode is for you.  "The Sum of Us" by Heather McGhee is a highly-researched and astounding exploration of "What Racism Costs Everyone" (yes even white folks). NOT just spiritually, emotionally and morally, but financially. Required Reading for anyone who wants to F**k Up The Patriarchy! Tune in to the episode to hear: How "Zero Sum Thinking" is impacting everything you think you know about equity and the economy.  How the wealthy few have protected themselves by pitting the masses against each other since the founding of America.  Why white people vote against government programs designed to diminish the harm of poverty, and support racist leadership - even to their own detriment.  How racist propaganda is consciously created to fuel Dominant Narrative Lies about black people ("welfare abusers) and non-white immigrants ("The enemy within") in order to keep the mulit-racial majority poor and powerless while making the rich richer.  The history you were never taught about public pools across America that were drained and paved over when white communities decided they would rather have no pool at all than to share it with Black folks.  Why we need to see and name these patterns so that we can free ourselves from them and F**k Up The Patriarchy.  I love this line from the author bio in the back of the book: "Heather McGhee designs and promotes solutions to inequality in America." Period.  Go to her website https://heathermcghee.com/ to learn more and get your own copy of "The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together". (There's even a Young-readers edition! Plus a 3-minute animated summary for kids on YouTube. Watch it HERE.) In this episode I also mention The Working Families Party "a multiracial party that fights for workers over bosses and people over the powerful." I'm a dues-paying member of this party and recommend that you learn more about WFP right HERE.  Heather McGhee is not associated with this movement as far as I know but it's my podcast and it's relevant to the subject at hand.  Enjoy and don't let the Bastards grind you down!  xoxo  MJ  To learn more about my work and how we can join forces to F**k Up The Patriarchy together - go to my website where you'll find my books, workshops, worksheets and online courses ranging from $0.00 - $495. www.meganjowilson.com To inquire about Private Coaching & Mentoring with me, click HERE.

    SEASON ONE || EPISODE 7: Silver Bullets & Spiritual Bypassing: Patriarchal Bullsh*t in the Coaching Industry

    Patriarchal Bullsh*t exists in every industry under the sun... But since I've been working professionally in the Life-Coaching Industry for over 20 years - and helping other Women to build a business with integrity, this is one I can speak on with great... confidence.  When you can see, name, and know the often invisible influence of Patriarchal B******t on your Coaching, your Business, and yes, even your Clients, you can make moves that are truly aligned with Liberation and Empowerment in all directions.  Tune in to hear: The Lie of "Silver Bullet Solutions" and the false promise of quick and easy healing in Self-Help Marketing.   How Spiritual Bypassing and "Toxic Positivity" has become a normalized a tool for control, manipulation and shaming rather than supporting our Clients.  All the disregard of Systemic Oppression or Socio-Economic Realities that are entrenched in the industry.  How Coaching has extracted Cultural Wisdom and packages in White Supremacy for profit. The danger of "Think Better Thoughts" so you can "Manifest your Dreams".  And a light touch on the Toxic Narratives that run in Entrepreneurial circles that keep you feeling like you're a loser who will never be truly successful!    If you're a Coach who wants to stand out in an sea of Con-Artists and Self-Appointed-Gurus (or someone who's been looking for a Coach who isn't full of shit - I would love to meet you and support your mission to build something truly beautiful!

    SEASON ONE || EPISODE 6 "Is This Sh*t Actually Traumatizing?!" A Conversation with Alla Weinberg!

    Our short answer is yes. A Patriarchal System is inherently traumatizing because it is inherently rooted in Scarcity, Dominance, Control, Destruction and Violence. Patriarchal Trauma touches all of us, often without our noticing. Understanding the source of our trauma is the first step in healing it, and that's exactly what we're doing here.  If you are a Coach or Healer you must understand the dynamics of Culture on your Client's lived experience, struggles, and dreams. Understanding the true source of our trauma is the first step in healing and that's where we're going... In this episode, I bring in my dear comrade, Healer, Coach, Author and Trauma Expert Alla Weinberg. (Learn more about Alla and her mission to guide 4% of humanity in healing from trauma at FourPercent.Org HERE.) Tune in to hear us discuss:  An honest definition of what Trauma is and the difference between Acute Trauma and Chronic or Complex Trauma.  How Trauma responses are always connected to somatics in the body.  A real-time example of Alla sharing a vulnerable story of her childhood with me and how - in loving Connection - she can titrate through the discomfort to recover.  Why Money and Capitalism is at the Root of Patriarchal Trauma.  Recommendations for your own recovery as you Divest from and Disrupt internalized Patriarchy including:  Noticing the narrative  Naming it in safe Connection Participating in Communities of Care  Breathing, Dancing, Shaking, and other Somatic practices.    Learn more about how I can help you heal your trauma and F*ck up the Patriarchy by visiting my website www.meganjowilson.com. Get on the Waitlist for "Healing Money Trauma: A Liberation Journey" HERE "Healing Money Trauma" is a holistic 3-month Money Trauma coaching program for women and non-binary people, designed to support you within a community of care.

    SEASON ONE || EPISODE 5: The Great American Tradition of Whitewashing History: A Thanksgiving Special!

    Here we stand, Sisters - Facing the National American Holiday we call "Thanksgiving". Together we'll unpack a few ways this tradition is rooted in a wide array of Patriarchal B******t such as:  "Whitewashing History" by covering up the violent truth of European Colonization as the foundation of the United State's existence.  The unpaid labor of Women who were never written into the history of the foundations of America, but are expected to bear the brunt of cooking, cleaning, and peaceful family gathering.  Gathering around a "feast" of abundant food while the Trump administration tries to eradicate benefits that support working families living with food insecurity.  The cultural expectation to enjoy or tolerate holiday gatherings even when for many they can be exhausting, painful and even traumatizing.   I reference Howard Zinn's famous book, "The People's History of The United States" for some historical context (learn more HERE). And lastly, I offer a series of inquiries, options, and ideas for facing the holiday with integrity and conscious choice about who you want to be and what you want to do (or not do) this Thanksgiving.  Let's do it!

    SEASON ONE || EPISODE 4: A Guided Visualization to See The World You Stand For.

    We know that we're standing AGAINST Patriarchy... So what exactly are we standing FOR? This Episode will take you on a 20-minute Journey to imagine that New World with vivid clarity so that you can stand for it more effectively and "see it" more confidently. (The Guided Visualization starts about 9 minutes in.) I reference the Artist, Activist and self-proclaimed Daydreamer Tricia Hersey who's "Nap Ministry" movement is a powerful example of standing AGAINST something (Patriarchy, Capitalism and Racism) by standing FOR something (Resting as a Black Woman as a form of Resistance).  Learn more about the Nap Ministry HERE.  The music behind the Guided Visualization is from Selva de Mar - a Spanish group I stumbled into on a narrow cobbled street when I lived in Barcelona, Spain. They were wearing masks and robes - playing handpans and cellos. I was immediately transfixed.  I don't have their permission to use the song "Pelos en el Diente" so - we'll see what happens. In my vision of a New World, artists are compensated fairly for their time and talent. I bought their CD and have listened to their music for years. You can hear the album I bought HERE.

    SEASON ONE || EPISODE 3: This Sh*t Is Not Normal: Reclaiming Your Right to Stand for Sanity.

    In this episode we deepen our understanding of Patriarchy by breaking down the definition as described by the Author, Feminist, Activist, Scholar, bell hooks (1952-2021) whose expertise and experience is incredibly helpful for anyone who is ready for deeper learning.  I then invite us all to look at The System of Patriarchy through the eyes of your Inner-Child so that you can see clearly how your Grown-Ass has become accustomed to Violence, Destruction, and Inequality as status quo "norms" that are not in any way "normal.  For example:  Women getting paid less than Men for doing the same job.  Naming an entire race of people as less intelligent, capable, and worthy.  Working people to the point of exhaustion and death to make a profit.  And so much more...  May this episode liberate you from the notion that standing for Human Rights is radical.  Let's normalize the idea that ALL PEOPLE are inherently deserving of dignity, belonging, beauty, rest, safety, and opportunity.

    SEASON ONE || EPISODE 2: What is The Patriarchy and How do We F*ck it Up?!

    Definitions matter if we want to build a strategy that works.   There are plenty of us talking about"Smashing The Patriarchy" but in this episode we're going beyond the Dictionary to tell the truth about Patriarchy and how it impacts all of us. Specifically:  Who gets the most Power, Inflence and Authority in a Patriarchal Culture.  Characteristics of Social Hierarchy including Dominant and Subordinant Groups.  Why it's critical to look at Systemic Habits of Harm vs Individual Acts. The Blindspots of Dominant Groups that lead to ignorance, silence, and apathy.  Why it's worth unlearning the "norms" of Patriarchal Culture even when you make mistakes.  In this episode I mention the amazing work of Activist, Abolitionist, Disruptor, and Anti-Racism educator and facilitator Portia Burch (@portia.noir on Instagram and Portia Burch on Patreon) Learn more about my work and how we can join forces to F*ck The Patriarchy at meganjowilson.com.
