    Coping Isn’t Thriving, It’s Surviving

    Send us Fan Mail Every Womyn and Her Dog – Episode 6 So many women have become experts at coping. Holding everything together.  Managing everyone else.  Pushing through exhaustion.  Functioning on autopilot while quietly feeling disconnected from themselves. And because they’re still “doing life,” no one realises they’re surviving. In this episode of Every Womyn & Her Dog, we unpack the difference between coping and truly thriving — and why so many women normalise survival mode without even realising it. Joined by Katelyn Dwyer-Taylor this conversation explores the hidden emotional load women carry, the conditioning that keeps them stuck in over-functioning, and what begins to shift when a woman decides she wants more than just “getting through.” Together, we explore: The hidden signs a woman is surviving rather than thrivingWhy coping is often praised and normalised in womenThe emotional, mental, and physical impact of living in survival modeHow conditioning, roles, expectations, and life experiences shape coping patternsThe disconnect many women feel from themselves, their needs, and their desiresWhat starts to shift when a woman stops settling for survivalWhy thriving isn’t about perfection — but reconnectionThe discomfort and identity shifts that can come with choosing more for yourselfThis conversation is for the woman who quietly feels exhausted by constantly “holding it all together.” The woman who looks functional on the outside… but internally feels flat, disconnected, overwhelmed, or like she’s simply existing. Because maybe coping was never meant to become your permanent way of life. And maybe there’s more available for you than just surviving.

  2. It's not 'selfish' to want more

    It's not 'selfish' to want more

    Send us Fan Mail Why does wanting more feel so uncomfortable for so many women? More fulfilment. More alignment. More depth. More from life, relationships, work, motherhood, purpose… and self. In this episode of Every Womyn & Her Dog, we unpack the conditioning many women carry around desire, ambition, needs, and expansion — and why wanting more is so often mistaken for selfishness. I’m joined by Katelyn Dwyer-Taylor and special guest Belinda Dykes for a grounded, honest (and deep dive) conversation around the tension women often feel between gratitude and growth… contentment and longing… caring for others and honouring themselves. Together, we explore: -Why women are often taught to minimise their needs and desires -The difference between being selfish and being healthily self-focused -Scarcity thinking and the belief that there’s “not enough” to go around -What begins to shift when a woman allows herself to want more -The discomfort, guilt, resistance, and identity changes that can surface during growth -What it means to honour your desires instead of suppressing them -How wanting more may actually be a signal — not a flaw This conversation is for the woman who quietly feels: “There has to be more than this…” Not because her life is bad, but because something deeper inside her is asking to be acknowledged. And maybe the real work isn’t learning how to silence that desire… but learning how to trust it. About Our Guest — Belinda Dykes With over three decades of experience across culinary, catering, and training roles, Belinda brings a rich depth of wisdom shaped by hospitality, connection, and care. At the heart of her work is the belief that food is far more than nourishment — it is community, celebration, generosity, and human connection. Her grounded presence and genuine love of people bring warmth and insight to this conversation.

    Self Love, why it's confronting

    Send us Fan Mail Self Love — Why It’s Confronting Self love gets spoken about constantly… but what happens when it doesn’t actually land? In this episode of Every Womyn & Her Dog, we unpack what self love really is — beyond the surface-level rituals, affirmations, and quick fixes. Because on paper, it’s about being kinder to yourself. But in reality… it often asks you to face parts of yourself you’ve been avoiding.

    The Cycle within the Cycle

    Send us Fan Mail Episode 2 – The Cycle Within the Cycle Women’s cyclical nature — beyond menstruation. Energy, seasons, and phases of becoming. In this episode of Every Womyn & Her Dog, Jo is joined by Katelyn Dwyer-Taylor for a deeper conversation about something that quietly shapes the way women experience life — our cyclical nature. While many people reduce female cycles to menstruation, this conversation explores something much broader: the energetic and identity cycles women move through across their lives. From the archetypal seasons of Maiden, Mother, Maga, and Crone, to the expansion and contraction that appears in business, relationships, identity, and personal growth, women are constantly evolving through seasons of becoming. But modern culture still expects us to operate like machines — consistent, productive, and always moving forward. So what happens when women ignore the season they’re in? Jo and Katelyn unpack the pressure to stay in “summer energy,” the cost of resisting natural cycles, and how learning to recognise your current season can bring a deeper sense of alignment, clarity, and self-trust. This episode is a powerful reminder that women are not inconsistent, we are cyclical. In This Episode We Explore • What Jo means by “the cycle within the cycle” • The archetypal seasons of Maiden, Mother, Maga, and Crone • Why women are conditioned to value constant productivity • The cultural pressure to remain in “summer energy” year-round • How burnout can be a signal that we are resisting a natural season • Expansion vs contraction in business, relationships, and identity • The power of recognising when a season in your life is changing Relevant Links & Resources And She Rose – 2 Day Immersive Experience https://joannelea.com.au/wellness/womens-offerings/and-she-rose/ Embodied Womyn – 1:1 Container https://joannelea.com.au/wellness/womens-offerings/embodied-womyn Judy Mort - Artemis Rising  https://www.artemisrising.com.au/ Twilight Birthing (Twilight Sleep) 1900 up to 1950 where mothers were given a combination of scopolamine and morphine to produce painless, amnestic childbirth.
