About
Women Making Moves is a podcast that celebrates the moves that women are making to create the existence we all deserve, which often looks like charting their own path. There are collective shifts happening in the world on an energetic level and as the divine feminine rises, the imbalanced masculine will feel pinched. The ask is that we create the balance we've never seen in this lifetime. The women showcased in this podcast have carved their own path in their unique brilliance shining their light for all to see. They're showing "how" we create the balance we yearn for, and there is no one answer. We celebrate these trailblazers, pioneers, goddesses, entrepreneurs, and unique spirits as they're claiming what success can look like in a world that is hurting.
