Women, AI, and the Shame-Blame Game | WOBBLE with Dr. Claire Jacobs

Apparently, women have been handed another purity test. Learn AI, but don’t rely on it. Keep up, but don’t take shortcuts. Use the tools, but prepare to defend yourself if one of them makes your work easier. And if you’re disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent, or running a business without seventeen assistants and a snack-filled corporate break room? Please submit your justification in triplicate. Meanwhile, the woman who has built her identity around being competent opens an AI tool, doesn’t immediately know what every button does, and feels the floor shift beneath her. That wobble can feel like proof that she is too old, too late, or one software update away from becoming obsolete. But wobbling isn’t failing. It’s what learning feels like before the new balance arrives. Dr. Claire Jacobs brings more than 45 years of experience as a clinical psychologist and coach to a conversation about AI, ableism, corporate-sized damage being repackaged as individual guilt, and why shame is a spectacularly lousy teacher. Together, she and Kirsten make room for a more useful story: AI can be scaffolding. A skill gap is information. And becoming a beginner does not erase the woman you already spent decades becoming. FERAL SNACKS “The wobble’s honest. It’s not collapse, but it’s also not mastery. It’s somewhere in between.” “Wobbling is what adaptation feels like before you find the new balance.” “It saves energy for the parts of your life that only you can do.” “A skill gap is just that. It tells you what to learn next. It doesn’t say anything about who you are or about your worth.” IN THIS EPISODE • The newest purity test women are somehow expected to pass before lunch • Why AI can shake the identity of a woman who has always been “the competent one” • The difference between wobbling because you’re failing and wobbling because you’re learning • Why shaming someone for using AI as scaffolding can sound a whole lot like shaming her for using glasses, a ramp, or a cane • The recycling-can bait and switch that leaves ordinary people carrying corporate-sized guilt • Why your brain cannot learn the shiny new tool while it thinks a tiger is eating your face • Safety as a raincoat, a map, and somebody to call • The single word that changes “I don’t know how to do this” into a future: yet • What becomes more valuable when AI makes some tasks faster: judgment, taste, trust, and knowing which questions to ask ABOUT DR. CLAIRE JACOBS Dr. Claire Jacobs is a clinical psychologist and coach with more than 45 years of experience helping brilliant, high-achieving, often neurospicy women hear themselves clearly and trust their own judgment again. Her work supports the women everybody else leans on—the ones who appear completely fine while quietly beginning to run on empty. She helps women separate facts from the stories wrapped around them, build enough safety to remain curious, and find their footing while the rules keep changing.

Your Body Isn’t the Enemy. It’s the Bunker. | UNARMOURED with Lisa Barwise

Armour rarely announces itself with clanking metal and a sword. Sometimes it looks like being the dependable one. The productive one. The woman who can read the room, calm the room, carry the room, and still make dinner after everyone leaves. It worked. The people-pleasing kept us safe. The mask helped us succeed. The warrior energy got shit done. But after years of layering protection over protection, some women reach midlife exhausted inside a life they are technically still managing. Wellness Alchemist and Fitness Feminist Lisa Barwise calls this the work of becoming unarmoured. Not lying emotionally naked in a field—although apparently that sounds lovely—but recognizing when yesterday’s protection has become today’s heavy-ass suit. Because the body we keep trying to discipline may not be betraying us. It may be the bunker that carried us through every battle, including the ones nobody else knew we were fighting. FERAL SNACKS “Sometimes I think, ‘Have I gone too far?’ And then I remember who I am and go, ‘No. Could go a little more.’” “That bloody armour is heavy.” “I’m not saying I want you to lie bare in a field—though sometimes lying bare in a field sounds lovely.” “I was the warrior. I could push through until I couldn’t.” “Your body will put your ass in time-out eventually.” IN THIS EPISODE Why midlife may be a reawakening instead of a crisis The strengths everybody praises that may secretly be armour What happens when “I can push through” becomes an entire identity Why performing confidence and feeling safe are two very different experiences The edge-of-the-bed moment when Lisa’s body finally said nope The invisible threat scan draining energy behind our 23 open mental tabs How to honor the armour that protected us without wearing it to the daggum grocery store forever Why the strategies that stopped working may signal adaptation—not personal failure ABOUT LISA BARWISE Lisa Barwise is a Wellness Alchemist, Fitness Feminist, and the creator of the Wellness Alchemy Triquetra™, a pioneering framework that brings together biology, psychology, and spirituality to help women reclaim their health and themselves. As the founder of the Warrior Goddess Saga™ and author of Unarmoured and Burned, Lisa challenges the belief that lasting transformation comes from more willpower, stricter diets, or punishing workouts. Instead, she explores the hidden emotional, psychological, and physiological patterns that keep women stuck. Her signature concept, Armour Weight™, reveals the invisible protective layers women carry through stress, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and survival—often mistaken for a lack of discipline or motivation. Through science, storytelling, and a touch of modern mysticism, Lisa helps women understand why they do what they do, release what no longer serves them, and build strength from the inside out. Her mission is simple: to help women stop fighting themselves and start coming home to who they truly are.

Your Brain Has Been Taking Shit for Years | BRAVE with Tracy Lynn Gray

There’s a particular kind of mindfuck that happens when you spend decades believing the things that are hardest for you are evidence about who you are. Irresponsible. Lazy. Undisciplined. Too much. Not enough. Somehow everybody else received the grown-up instruction manual while you were apparently outside staring at a squirrel. For Tracy Lynn Gray, anxiety explained part of the story. Then an adult ADHD diagnosis gave her language for the rest. And suddenly, the things she had spent years using as evidence against herself could be examined without putting her entire character on trial. But understanding your brain is only part of it. There’s also the work of noticing how many other people’s criticisms have been living in your head rent-free so long they’ve started using your voice. And sometimes coming home to yourself means accepting that your spirit animal was never the majestic wolf. Sometimes it’s Kevin the glitter-pants squirrel. FERAL SNACKS “Responsibility without shame is very different than responsibility that’s born and fueled of self-criticism.” “All the voices of criticism that I was hearing became my own inner voice. They didn’t even need to say it anymore.” “I thought to be successful and to be a grown-up, to be taken seriously, that I needed to act serious.” “The Kevins of the world finally helped me realize that my laughter, my creativity, my imagination, those are all things that fuel the work that I do.” IN THIS EPISODE • Why bravery comes before confidence, not after it • The strange relief of finally having language for the things anxiety never explained • What happens when years of criticism stop needing an outside spokesperson • The difference between taking responsibility for your struggles and turning them into character evidence • Why Tracy spent years trying to look like a Responsible Grown-Up™ and what happened when she quit • What gets lost when successful women sand off the funny, weird, creative parts of themselves to be taken seriously • Finding your people when the people currently around you aren’t holding pom-poms ABOUT TRACY LYNN GRAY Tracy Lynn Gray is an author, speaker, and podcast host who helps women stop fighting their brains and start building lives that actually fit who they are. After years of believing anxiety was the whole story, an adult ADHD diagnosis reframed decades of self-doubt, perfectionism, and trying to become someone she was never meant to be. Today, Tracy combines neuroscience, humor, storytelling, and practical tools to help women understand executive dysfunction, embrace their unique wiring, and reclaim self-trust. Her latest book, Well, That Explains a Lot, explores ADHD through Tracy’s own sarcastic, irreverent, occasionally ridiculous lens. She is also the author of How to Teach Your Elephant to Sit, a short illustrated introduction to allowing big feelings rather than spending all day wrestling with them. And yes, she is responsible for Kevin the glitter-pants squirrel. We owe her a debt of gratitude.

They Are Not the Co-Author of Your Story | PERMISSION with Ally Berthiaume

The moment you tell the truth about your own life, somebody else may insist that you got it wrong. They remember it differently. They had their reasons. They would prefer you leave that part out. And suddenly, the person who hurt you is standing over your shoulder with a red pen, making editorial notes in the margins of your memory. But they weren’t in your body. They didn’t carry what happened home. Their discomfort does not outrank your experience. Memoir coach Ally Berthiaume joins Kirsten for a feral, funny, unexpectedly tender conversation about writing from the wound, revising from the scar, and letting other people keep their version without surrendering yours. Because permission isn’t only about writing a book. Sometimes it’s permission to want more, end something that is still 80% good, or stop waiting for someone else to say go. FERAL SNACKS “Draft from the wound and revise from the scar.” “If we sat around waiting for somebody else to say go, we probably would never go anywhere.” “I was in the f*****g room. I know what happened.” “What am I doing sitting around here trying to get your perception to match my truth?” “You don’t have to start with everything. Pick one thing.” IN THIS EPISODE Why another person’s conflicting memory does not erase your own The quiet damage of waiting for someone else to validate what happened to you What belongs in the messy first draft—and what may not belong in the finished book The difference between protecting someone’s privacy and protecting them from accountability Why memoir must eventually move beyond journal entries and make meaning for the reader Granting yourself permission before the supportive co-conspirator arrives Leaving something that is mostly good because the part that isn’t still matters How one small permission can make the next one easier to claim ABOUT ALLY BERTHIAUME Ally Berthiaume is The Memoir Coach. She helps courageous women write the memoir they wish they had when they were going through the hardest chapter of their lives. An award-winning author, speaker, developmental editor, and memoir coach with an MFA in creative writing, Ally guides writers through the strategy, structure, emotional depth, and publishing education they need to turn lived experience into a memoir that matters.

How to Be an Imperfect Parent | FAMILY with Dr. Wendy

Parenthood has a sneaky way of turning children into walking report cards. If they hit the expected milestones, make choices other adults approve of, and appear sufficiently well-adjusted in public, maybe we passed. If they struggle—or simply become somebody we didn’t predict—we start digging through every parenting decision we ever made like we’re building a case against ourselves. Perfection can look like patience and poise at work, followed by an empty tank and a short fuse at home. It can sound like “this is the way” while everybody aboard the This Is the Way Express is quietly miserable. It can even look like doing everything the experts recommended—and then finding candy wrappers under the bed because all that good parenting has started to feel a whole lot like control. Dr. Wendy Schofer knows this from both sides of the exam table. The pediatrician who thought she had textbook answers eventually realized her family didn’t need more effort from her. They needed experimentation, repair, honesty, and room to be gloriously human. Because our children don’t need us to perform perfection. They need a relationship sturdy enough to hold what happens after we screw up. FERAL SNACKS “I’m the best parent you’re gonna have. I’m also, thankfully, the worst that you’re gonna have.” “I thought I had a role to play, and I couldn’t let anybody see the cracks.” “I had zero left over in the tank for my own family.” “What if you just play with it? Just do it dirty.” “Our kids are doing the best that they can where they are right now. And also, so are we as adults.” IN THIS EPISODE • The pediatrician who knew enough to get herself—and her family—into trouble • What candy wrappers under the bed revealed about control, restriction, and the wrong parenting plan • When public patience and poise leave absolutely nothing in the tank for the people at home • How the woulda-coulda-shoulda monster starts yanking pieces from your child’s Jenga tower • Loving the actual human in front of you—even when their life doesn’t match the approved timeline • Why parenting works better as an experiment than a predetermined express route • Pizza, Panera, bedhead, hoagie smells, and the surprisingly useful practice of lowering the daggum bar • What children learn when they watch us offer ourselves the same grace we want them to carry into the world ABOUT DR. WENDY SCHOFER Dr. Wendy Schofer is a study in contradictions. She is a dual-board-certified pediatrician and lifestyle physician, as well as a trauma-informed parenting coach specializing in eating disorder prevention for family members of all ages and sizes. As the founder of Family in Focus®, she is on a mission to help one million families build the social-emotional skills that strengthen their relationships with food, body, and especially each other. After screwing up and then healing her own family’s relationships with food and body, Dr. Wendy is living proof that families can change—and that nobody has to become a perfect parent first.

What If Peace Requires Disappointing People? | PEACE with Heather Clark, MD

Some of us have spent years treating another person’s disappointment like a tiny household emergency. Scan the face. Read the room. Adjust accordingly. Become whatever version of yourself seems least likely to make anybody uncomfortable. Heather Clark, MD, knows that machinery from the inside. She describes people-pleasing as constantly trying to figure out who other people want you to be, then showing up as her. And eventually, that gets exhausting enough that even joy isn’t quite what you’re hungry for anymore. You want enough quiet inside your own head to actually be where your feet are. For Heather, PEACE is deeply connected to her Christian faith, but not to collecting more rules about how to do Christianity correctly. In fact, her first book is called I Don’t Need the Rules Anymore. Her new filter is considerably shorter: love God, love the humans, love herself. And sometimes that means going on the retreat three days before your oldest leaves for college, even while your brain produces a 12-part miniseries about what everyone might think about it. Nobody died. Her husband handled it. They didn’t even need a Target run. Maybe peace isn’t getting everyone around us to finally be okay. Maybe it’s discovering that they don’t have to be. FERAL SNACKS “What we really need is the ability to sit quietly without the to-do list screaming inside of our head.” “Belonging is when I get to be myself and I’m accepted. Fitting in is when I have to be like you to be accepted.” “I’m showing up as the person that I think you want me to be.” “My favorite question is: Whose voice is that?” “I don’t need you anymore, but I’m scared to let you go.” IN THIS EPISODE • Why Heather went looking for joy and discovered what she really needed was peace • The exhausting mental room-scanning happening underneath people-pleasing • What happened when Heather left for a retreat days before moving her oldest child into college • The spectacularly useful ER-physician measurement of success: nobody died • “Whose voice is that?” and what to do with all those shoulds rattling around in your head • The physical moment Heather realized she was ready to loosen her grip on the rules of her faith • How more than 2,000 religious rules became a three-part filter: love God, love the humans, love myself • Why loving your neighbor “as yourself” gets complicated when the way you treat yourself is full of criticism, shame, and impossible expectations ABOUT HEATHER CLARK, MD Heather Clark, MD, is a rural ER physician, mom, wife, medical missionary, friend, entrepreneur, and lifelong apprentice to Jesus. She is a love-inspired creator who helps Christian perfectionists and people-pleasers create lives of true joy and lasting peace. She is currently writing her first book, I Don’t Need the Rules Anymore. When she has free time, you’ll find her salsa dancing, reading a good romance novel, or traveling to explore wild places and the beauty of God’s creation. But her favorite place of all is at home on her back patio in small-town Indiana, watching herons fish in the pond.

WELCOME HOME | RETURN with Maggie Smith

You can get surprisingly far away from yourself without ever technically falling apart. You still answer the emails. You still handle the emergency. You still make sure everybody else has what they need. You become so competent at carrying the whole damn operation that nobody notices you’re barreling into December on two wheels with an emotional Pig-Pen cloud trailing behind you. That was Maggie Smith. Twenty-plus years in executive HR, a career built around supporting other people, and a growing realization that somewhere along the yellow brick road she had misplaced some fairly important things: fun, creativity, rest, and herself. In this episode, Maggie talks about what happened when she stopped treating self-prioritization like a character flaw. She shares what it was like to go through Kirsten’s Neuro-Proof Narrative Quest from the client side, why capable women can be spectacular at offering other people exactly what they refuse to give themselves, and the tiny but enormous victory of taking an entire vacation without checking work email once. And because Maggie’s own work lives right next door to this conversation, RETURN gets practical. Breathwork. Nervous system regulation. Hypnosis without the chicken-clucking nonsense. Letting go of old stories. Learning to hold space without rescuing. Finding the people who help you hear yourself again. Maybe coming home isn’t about becoming somebody new. Maybe you’ve had the ruby slippers on the whole damn time. FERAL SNACKS “I think sometimes I forget that nice doesn’t mean setting myself on fire to keep other people warm.” “I was not having enough fun in my life.” “I needed Kirsten Bombdiggity in my life to reconnect with dopamine and fun.” IN THIS EPISODE How a perfectly capable woman ends up screeching into the holidays on two wheels The difference between being nice and lighting yourself on fire for everybody else Why giving yourself the care you freely hand to other people can feel weirdly difficult What happened when Maggie put her work email on actual vacation too The client-side experience of Kirsten’s Neuro-Proof Narrative Quest, including journals, weekly connection, dopamine, and surprise mail Why helping somebody doesn’t always mean handing them the answer Breathwork, hypnosis, and what happens when your brain has been running an operating system you no longer want The career crisis that briefly had Maggie considering a roadside jam stand despite one fairly significant obstacle: she does not know how to make jam Why the right support can change with the season you’re in Coming home to yourself without turning yourself into another improvement project ABOUT MAGGIE SMITH Maggie Smith is the Founder and Guide of Ursa Major Wellbeing, where she helps people reconnect with themselves through evidence-informed practices that support nervous system regulation, resilience, and personal growth. After more than 20 years as an executive human resources leader, she combined her passion for leadership, psychology, and wellbeing to create a space where people can slow down, regulate, and reconnect with who they truly are. Maggie is trained in trauma-informed breathwork, meditation and mindfulness, restorative practices, Reiki, and clinical hypnosis. Through workshops, guided experiences, and one-on-one sessions, she helps clients navigate stress, burnout, life transitions, and change with greater clarity, self-compassion, and confidence. www.ursamajorwellbeing.com ABOUT THE FERAL ERA The Feral Era for Women Over 40 with Kirsten Bombdiggity is a weekly live show for successful women who are tired of feeling invisible in their own daggum lives.

Midlife Is Not the Cooldown | EMPOWERED with Dr. Carol Wilder

At some point, “I guess I’m just getting older” starts sneaking into the explanation for everything. The exhaustion. The soreness. The changing body. The thing you used to be able to lift without thinking twice. And sometimes, without realizing it, respecting the fact that our bodies are changing turns into quietly lowering our expectations for what they can still do. Dr. Carol Wilder knows that story from both sides of the exam table. She spent decades as a Sports Medicine physician and former Division I athlete, bike commuting two hours a day and assuming that when she felt worse, the answer was to exercise more. Then perimenopause arrived and even the doctor found herself wondering, “What the F is going on?” What happened next changed not only how Carol cared for her own body, but how she thinks about aging, strength, muscle, and agency. This isn’t about dragging our 25-year-old bodies out of storage. It’s about deciding what we want our bodies to help us DO with the decades still ahead of us. Because aging is inevitable. Frailty isn’t. FERAL SNACKS “When you get your energy back, you get your agency back." “Aging is inevitable, right? But aging with frailty is not inevitable.” IN THIS EPISODE What happened when a Sports Medicine physician hit perimenopause and couldn’t exercise her way out of feeling like crap Why doing more and eating less can become exactly the wrong midlife equation The difference between accepting that your body is changing and quietly deciding it can’t do hard things anymore Why Carol wants women thinking about muscle, protein, strength, bones, and metabolic health before frailty enters the chat What changes when exercise stops being a project to make your body smaller The suitcase-over-your-head test: training for the ordinary physical freedoms we don’t want to lose Why understanding what’s happening inside your body can return some of the agency that midlife stole What an 84-year-old Jane Fonda reminded Carol about longevity that has nothing to do with protein or lifting weights ABOUT DR. CAROL WILDER Dr. Carol Wilder is a board-certified Sports Medicine physician, health coach, former NCAA Division I swimmer, and lifelong outdoor adventurer who is on a mission to prove that women don't have to accept getting weaker, slower, or softer after 40. With more than 30 years of experience in sports medicine and her own firsthand journey through the upheavals of perimenopause, Dr. Carol helps active women ditch the “it’s just aging” mindset. Using evidence-based strategies for strength training, nutrition, recovery, and mindset, she empowers women to build muscle, lose body fat, boost energy, and embrace midlife with strength, confidence, and purpose. When she’s not caring for patients or coaching clients, you’ll probably find her mountain biking a rocky trail, chasing fresh powder on her snowboard, or planning her next travel adventure from her home in beautiful Bend, Oregon.
