What if the question isn't How did I become a feminist? but rather How has being a feminist changed my life?

In Episode 8 of WTF: The Other F Word, we reflect on the classes, conversations, mentors, and moments that helped shape our journeys. We talk about femtors, the people who saw possibilities in us before we could see them ourselves, and explore how feminism shows up in our relationships, families, work, parenting, friendships, spirituality, and the everyday choices we make.

This conversation is an invitation to pause and reflect:

Who helped you find your voice?
Was there a class, a mentor, a book, or a conversation that changed how you see the world?
How do your values show up in the way you live your life today?

Join us as we wonder together about what it means to grow into our values and how feminism continues to shape the people we are becoming.

🎧 Listen now: Episode 8: How Feminism Can Change Everything

As always, we'd love to hear from you. Share your stories, reflections, and the names of the people who helped light the way.

Leslie + Katy

Allowing Ourselves to Slow Down

Dear Friends, This week in episode #6 we are thinking about pace. Not the polished kind of pace that shows up in planners, productivity systems, or the pressure to always be moving toward the next thing. We mean the pace of a body that is trying to listen. The pace of a conversation that needs more breath. The pace of grief, creativity, community, and repair. So many of us have learned to keep...

What is Femtorship? With special guest BJ Weaver.

Dear friends, Lately, we’ve been thinking about femtorship. Not mentorship as a ladder. Not expertise as something handed down from above. Not the quiet pressure to become more polished, more productive, more acceptable. Femtorship feels different. It is a feminist practice of accompaniment. A way of learning beside each other. A way of making space for the questions, contradictions, and un...
