YES, WOMAN is the home for women to be outrageously happy. Where we stop pretending we're fine and start telling the truth about what we desire - and what we deserve. For the woman who "has it all" on paper, but knows there's more - more joy, more pleasure, more aliveness… for the woman who has lived and loved and lost… for the midlife woman who is done pretending to be "fine" so that you can fly FREE… you're in the right place. Here we are bold, raw and real about everything WOMAN - s*x, motherhood, menopause, money, grief, success, love, power, pleasure, and becoming. After more than 700,000 downloads of Season 1, "The PurposeGirl Podcast", and a season of profound personal loss and growth, Carin Rockind returns with deeper truth and sharper clarity. She has a master's degree in the science of happiness and a devotion to the divine feminine, bridging the gap between positive psychology and the soul of a woman — science and spirit — resilience and radiance. She'll be your best friend, your confidant, your coach. This isn't just about "finding" your purpose anymore. It's about saying yes to your whole life. Through unfiltered conversations, powerful interviews, and practical tools rooted in both research and lived experience, YES, WOMAN invites you to stop shrinking, stop waiting, and start living as the WOMAN you were born to be. Welcome Sister.

    YES TO BECOMING A YES, WOMAN

    What happens when a WOMAN builds the "perfect" life… and still feels empty inside? In this deeply personal episode, I take you inside my own journey from being the perfect child, to chasing the perfect life, to realizing none of it actually made me happy. This is the story of how I went from being the "Yes girl" saying yes to everyone else, to becoming a YES WOMAN fully owning my desires, my truth, and my life. If you've ever looked around at your life and thought, "I have everything… so why don't I feel alive?" This episode is for you. Because your YES isn't logical. It's true. And when you follow it everything changes. 🔥 What You'll Hear in This Episode The hidden cost of being "the perfect WOMAN" Why achieving everything you thought you wanted can still leave you feeling empty The moment I realized there had to be more How saying YES (even when it made zero sense) changed my entire life The difference between being a "Yes girl" vs. a YES WOMAN Why your desires don't need to make sense to be right The turning point that made me commit to living fully (no more half-alive living) How one YES leads to the next—and builds a life you're obsessed with   💥 Key Truths to Take With You 1. You can have the "perfect life"… and still feel miserable. Because perfection isn't truth. It's performance. 2. Your YES won't make sense—and that's the point. The most aligned path rarely looks logical. 3. Depression isn't something wrong with you. It's a signal that you're pressing down your truth. 4. Every time you ignore your YES, you abandon yourself. And every time you follow it—you come back to life. 5. You don't become a YES WOMAN all at once. It's one brave, scary, exciting YES at a time.   *]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" data-turn-id= "request-WEB:ccc25046-f18f-4346-a81b-a53b55a241a7-1" data-testid= "conversation-turn-4" data-scroll-anchor="true" data-turn= "assistant">   If this episode spoke to you… Subscribe to YES, WOMAN so you never miss an episode.

  7. YES to your YES

    MAR 17

    YES to your YES

    What if the most radical thing a WOMAN could do… is say YES to herself? In the very first episode of YES, WOMAN - Carin Rockind asks a bold question: Why are we alive if not to feel that full-bodied, radiant YES about our own lives? As the founder and CEO of the Institute of WOMAN, Carin Rockind has spent over 15 years working with thousands of women and she's seen the same pattern again and again: WOMEN say NO to themselves & say YES to everyone else. In this deeply personal and powerful opening episode, Carin shares: Why saying NO collapses the body—and YES brings us back to life How childhood conditioning trains women to silence desire, truth, and joy The hidden link between suppressed dreams and depression Why "selfish" has been weaponized against women—and why it's time to reclaim it How one near-death experience became the moment she vowed to never say NO to her purpose again This episode is a call home for every WOMAN who: Feels numb, flat, or quietly unfulfilled Has dreams she's been minimizing or postponing Because here's the truth: A lit up WOMAN lights up this world. This is not about being a YES WOMAN to everyone else. This is YES, WOMAN a movement, a mindset, and a permission slip to say YES to your truth, your desires, your body, your dreams, and your life. Welcome to YES, WOMAN. Your YES starts here.   If this episode spoke to you - connect with Carin and the Institute of WOMAN Subscribe to YES, WOMAN so you never miss an episode.

    YES to LOVE... like Heated Rivalry

    What if the reason women are obsessed with certain love stories has nothing to do with fantasy and everything to do with the kind of love we secretly crave? In this episode of YES, WOMAN, Carina sits down with love coach Taylor Carr for a fascinating conversation about relationships, desire, and the deeper truths behind why women respond so strongly to powerful love stories like Heated Rivalry.  Exploring Love and Relationship… Together they explore masculine and feminine dynamics, the psychology of attraction, and how women can create deeper intimacy and passion in their own relationships. This conversation is equal parts spicy, insightful, and empowering. If you've ever wondered: Why certain love stories feel so magnetic Why tension and yearning can feel intoxicating Why women often lose themselves in relationships How to reignite passion in a long-term partnership This episode will open your eyes. In This Episode You'll Discover Why women are captivated by certain love stories Carina and Taylor explore why so many women are drawn to narratives filled with tension, vulnerability, desire, and emotional depth—and what those stories reveal about what women truly want from love. The power of masculine–feminine dynamics Taylor shares insights from her work as a love coach about how polarity, emotional maturity, and vulnerability shape attraction and long-term relationships. The three things every WOMAN wants in love During the conversation they uncover a powerful truth: many women long to feel Desired Devoted to Devoured And why those elements matter for deep intimacy. Why many relationships lose their spark One of the biggest insights in this episode: women often lose themselves in relationships—and that's when resentment and disconnection begin. Men fall in love with a woman who loves herself. When she forgets herself, the dynamic shifts. How to reignite passion in long-term relationships Taylor shares simple but powerful shifts that can transform relationships, including: Asking directly for what you want Letting men rise instead of managing them Reclaiming your own desires and identity Key Takeaways • The most magnetic WOMAN is the one deeply connected to herself • Desire thrives on tension, curiosity, and emotional honesty • Trying to control or manage a partner often kills attraction • Self-love is not selfish—it's the foundation of a thriving relationship • The deepest love story always begins with you As Taylor beautifully says in this episode: "Your deepest love story always begins with you." Exploring Love and Relationship… About Taylor Carr Taylor Carr is a love coach who helps women create deeper, more magnetic relationships through understanding masculine and feminine dynamics, self-worth, and emotional maturity. She works with women from all walks of life—from CEOs to creatives—to help them call in the love they truly desire.
