    We'd love to hear what you think! What if the difficulty you've experienced in female friendships isn't actually about you, but about something we've all inherited? In this episode, I'm joined by Katherine Phifer, a mentor in feminine energetics and leadership. We dive deep into the sisterhood wound—a generational pattern that affects how women show up in relationships with each other and explore what it takes to build authentic, life-giving friendships as mothers. We explore: What the sisterhood wound is and where it comes fromThe difference between friends, community, and your village The language we use about other women and what it revealsThis episode shows us that you can show up as yourself and be in relationships that are life-giving and authentic, but it requires conscious work to heal the patterns we've inherited.

    Envy, Desire, & Motherhood | Speak, Mother

    We'd love to hear what you think! Envy is one of those things we’re not supposed to talk about, especially as mothers. But what if it’s not something to fix or suppress, but rather to examine? In this episode, Shannon explores envy as a signal rather than a flaw. The moments where other women irritate us, trigger us, or make us uncomfortable often point to desires we’ve learned to ignore, downplay, or explain away. We talk about comparison, judgment, generational conditioning, and the quiet ways women are taught to stay small, and what becomes possible when we get honest about what we actually want. This isn’t a call to self-improvement or confidence-building. It’s merely an invitation to notice what stirs, without rushing to make meaning of it. This episode is part of a multi-part exploration inspired by the work of On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen. You don't need to have read the book to tune in.

    Exhaustion, Rest, and Motherhood | Speak, Mother

    We'd love to hear what you think! Before we talk about rest, we have to name why it feels so loaded in the first place. In this episode, Shannon explores the concept of sloth, not as laziness, but as something that became morally charged over time and why so many mothers feel caught between exhaustion and guilt. She reflects on overfunctioning as protection, the pressure to earn rest, and the often unspoken belief that worth is tied to output. This is an invitation to notice the rules we absorbed without realizing it and how they live in our bodies, our nervous systems, and our relationships.

    Patriarchy, Goodness, and Motherhood | Speak, Mother

    We'd love to hear what you think! Before we talk about fixing motherhood, we have to name the system we inherited.  In this conversation, Shannon explores patriarchy as inheritance rather than ideology, why “being good” became the organizing principle for so many women’s lives, and how motherhood makes these patterns impossible to ignore. This is not a book report or a call to self-improvement. It’s an invitation to notice what we’ve been handed, what it’s cost us, and what might be ready to change. You don’t need to have read On Our Best Behavior by Elise Loehnen to listen. This is about awareness, not answers. This episode begins a multi-part exploration inspired by On Our Best Behavior.

My husband was deployed, and I needed an outlet that could help me release the stress of solo parenting while he was gone - so I picked up my brushes again. After not having painted in over four years paintings just kept pouring out of me. I quickly realized this was something I finally needed to pursue full time. Little me would be so happy to know I finally followed my dream of being a full-time working artist.  You'll often find me in my home studio with my three critters (Sweet Pea our little black kitty, Roxy the Doxy and Teeny my toddler).  If you are interested in adding a touch of nature's beauty to your home or office, I invite you to explore my collection of original paintings or prints.
