WANTcast: The Women Against Negative Talk Podcast

Welcome to the WANTcast: The Women Against Talk Podcast — lessons in moving forward fearlessly and spreading the (good) word. In each episode, writer, speaker, coach and WANT founder Katie Horwitch unpacks tips, tools, motivation and inspiration to help you shift your self-talk: the internal narrative you have on loop 24/7 that tells you who you are and who you should be. Dive into topics such as confidence, fear, trust, body image, self-doubt, self-worth, relationships, career, friendships, social issues, and more - and walk away from each episode with actionable steps to shift your narrative from reactive to proactive (as well as inspiration to keep going when the going gets tough). You can't change the world until you change YOUR world, first - and shifting your self-talk is where it all begins. The goal isn't to change who you are - it's to BECOME who you know you're meant to be. New episodes every other Tuesday. Get the show notes + more at womenagainstnegativetalk.com

Have you ever thought, "I wish the kind of body positivity and inclusivity we see today had existed when I was growing up"? If so, you’re not alone.

Jess is a true trailblazer whose work has created a lasting impact on how we view ourselves and each other. If you’re looking to make a difference in the world but often find yourself comparing, despairing, feeling overwhelmed, or unsure where to start: this episode is for you.

Season 10 of the WANTcast is HERE!! Today, we're talking all about TRANSITIONS: how to view them, how to navigate through, and how to use this in-between time to your advantage.

This timely Season Premiere of the WANTcast is here to help you make the most of this moment, right here and now. Change isn't easy, and even the most exciting transitions can be complicated. It's not about slowing down or speeding up — it's about being strategic about how to maximize this (sometimes) messy middle.

What if strength isn’t about how much we can lift, but how we manage life’s struggles? What if we've been told lies our whole life about what it means to truly TAKE UP SPACE? What if failing isn't the end of a goal, but helps you set the goal itself?

Today's SEASON 9 FINALE episode is with the incredible Alyssa Ages — journalist, strongman competitor, and author of SECRETS OF GIANTS: A Journey To Uncover The True Meaning of Strength.

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT:

  • The importance of asking WHY, not HOW
  • How endurance athletes frame FAILURE, and how to use this specific tactic in your own life way beyond achieving strength goals
  • Why it's so hard for women especially to TAKE UP SPACE, the sneaky language to watch out for, and how to reframe your relationship with it
  • The importance of using the word YET
  • "BULK" (this is mind-blowing!)
  • What Alyssa did when she realized the story she'd been telling herself for a DECADE was a lie
  • Strength as we AGE and how to reverse hamful narratives even if we think "it's too late"
  • and so much more!

This is an episode you'll want to share with your friends, parents, grandparents, siblings, and more. 

Thank you for making Season 9 one of the best yet. See you in September for Season 10!

~

ABOUT ALYSSA:

Alyssa Ages is the author of SECRETS OF GIANTS: A Journey to Uncover the True Meaning of Strength (Avery/Penguin Random House) and a journalist whose work has appeared in ELLE, SELF, GQ, Slate, The Globe & Mail, and others. She is a mom, strongman competitor, endurance athlete (six marathons & an Ironman), rock climber, CrossFitter, and former member of the Jersey City Bridge & Pummel roller derby team. Her first book, Secrets of Giants (Avery/Penguin Random House, 9/23), is part personal narrative, part research mission, part midlife crisis odyssey into the world of strength to answer the question: What if strength isn’t about how much we can lift, but how we manage life’s struggles.

If you're fed up with ridiculous, patriarchal dating rules but don't know what you'd do instead...so feel like you just need to put up with sucky dates for who knows how long...our guest Lily Womble has got your back.

This episode is about dating, of course, but it's really about building the most authentic relationships of your life — including the relationship with yourself.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

  • Feeling like you're either too much or not enough
  • How to ACTUALLY meet people
  • The way dating apps are engineered and where they fit in your dating life's ecosystem
  • How to find great dates in difficult situations (ie small towns, places with values or politics that don't align with yours, etc)
  • and more!

ABOUT LILY:

Lily Womble is sparking a feminist revolution in the way we date and find love. She was one of the top matchmakers in the U.S., but after setting up hundreds of dates, Lily realized that the answer to finding love was much deeper than a setup, and that the way we are taught to date is still stuck in the patriarchal dark ages. She founded her company, Date Brazen, six years ago and has since helped hundreds of women create love lives that are epic, settle-proof, and joyful-as-hell with her intersectional feminist approach. She changes lives daily on TikTok, Top 4 Relationship Podcast- The Date Brazen Podcast , and sold-out coaching programs world-wide. Her debut nonfiction advice book, Thank You, More Please: A feminist guide to breaking dumb dating rules and finding love, comes out in June 2024 with Legacy Lit. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband, Chris.

When we talk about parenting, are we just talking about the kids or are we actually talking about relationships? When we talk about yoga, are we just talking about the poses or are we actually talking about life? 

Sarah Ezrin would argue: YES. We can learn so much about ourselves and how we walk through the world through these two things.

(CW: pregnancy loss, abortion; eating disorders; substance abuse) 

SARAH EZRIN is the author of the award-winning book The Yoga of Parenting. She is a highly-sought after yoga educator, content creator, and maternal mental health advocate based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Sarah lovingly supports people along their wellness and parenthood journeys. She is a regular contributor for Yoga Journal Magazine, Motherly, Yoga International, Healthline, and more, and her words, teachings, and social media are supportive, healing sources for people to feel seen and heard. 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT...

  • The delicate balance of being honest in your writing when other people are involved in your story
  • What parenting lessons can teach us about ourselves
  • What yoga can teach us beyond the poses
  • Making big decisions in your best interests, even if they're heartbreaking
  • The realities of parenthood, caregiving, and "the village"
  • How to talk to kids when you're going through a tough time
  • How to begin a yoga practice when you're intimidated
  • How to navigate the parts of parenting you're avoiding or don't want to approach
  • and SO MUCH MORE

When you hear "...you'll regret it," what do you do?

If you’re someone who is of a certain *pre-45-ish* age, NOT a parent, and are either decidedly child-free or on the fence about this massive life decision, you’re probably familiar with the REGRET conversation. (“You’ll regret it when you’re old” being the main thesis statement of that convo.)

But beyond the parenthood conversation, it can seem like everything is wrapped up in the will-I-won't-I debate: work, job, relationships, even food.

Regret is a big topic for a lot of us, so today, we're going there.

Today we're talking to Ruby Warrington all about being a Woman Without Kids, being "a village person," and the nuances of being child-free (by choice or by circumstance).

IN THIS EPISODE, we get extremely candid as we talk about:

  • The ways the parenthood vs. non-parenthood discussion has evolved, and ways it hasn't
  • The "motherhood spectrum" vs. the motherhood binary
  • Other people's opinions and cultural expectations / "noise" around motherhood, and how that affects us
  • Our inner "noise" around motherhood, and how that affects us
  • A new spin on the conversations around love and regret
  • Navigating grief when you wanted to be a parent but it wasn't in the cards (childfree by circumstance)
  • How to create a movement that matters
  • ...and SO much more! 

Ruby Warrington is a British-born author and editor, perhaps best known as the creator of the term “sober curious”. Her 2018 book and million-download podcast of the same title has helped to spearhead a global movement to reevaluate our relationship with alcohol. Her latest book, Women Without Kids, asks: “Instead of continuing to paint childfree women as sad, self-obsessed, or somehow dysfunctional, what if we saw them as boldly forging a first-in-a-civilization vision for a fully autonomous womankind? What if being a woman without kids was in fact its own kind of legacy?” Ruby's other works include Material Girl, Mystical World, The Numinous Astro Deck, and The Sober Curious Reset. With more than 20 years of experience as a lifestyle journalist and editor, Ruby is also the founder of self-publishing imprint Numinous Books and is known as a true thought leader in the “Now Age” wellness space.

No, this isn't another stereotypical "self-care" conversation — we don't need any more of those. This is about PLEASURE: what it (actually) is, isn't, and why it's so freaking hard for so many of us to access it. 

In this conversation with Anne Hodder-Shipp and Sarah Tomchesson, S3X PLUS cofounders + facilitators of "Pleasure Attitudes: Building An Embodied Self-Care Practice That Really Works," we'll dive into:

  • Pleasure as a euphamism vs. pleasure beyond sexuality, and why these two can be so tough to separate for many of us
  • A take on burnout you probably haven't heard before, and how pleasure fits into the mix
  • "Pleasure role models"
  • Hobbies and making friends as an adult
  • and SO MUCH MORE

The best fitness advice isn't necessarily what you think it is. In a sea of tips, tricks, and programs telling you what to do, how do you figure out what's right for you, and maybe more tricky — how do you build a sustainably healthy relationship with exercise? Especially if you're someone who has a history with eating disorders or body image issues?

Today's guest, NYC fitness professional Amanda Katz, is here to talk about:

  • Why motivation and even discipline are smaller pieces of the puzzle than we realize, and what to focus on instead to create lasting habits
  • Specific examples of what flexibility in an exercise routine can look like
  • Having a healthy relationship with fitness after struggling with eating disorders, disordered patters, or body image 
  • How to approach fitness and training goals no matter who you are
  • How to help a loved one when you're worried they're going down a harmful path of disordered behaviors
  • Combatting NEW YEAR NEW YOU toxic fitness culture messaging in January (and beyond)
  • and more!

ABOUT AMANDA:

Amanda Katz is a full-time fitness professional. She's a certified personal trainer, RRCA certified run coach and serves as a group fitness instructor specializing in indoor cycling, treadmill running and total body conditioning formats at Equinox in New York City. Her philosophy is based on the notion that all bodies deserve a fitness experience without punishment, guilt or shame. She approaches her craft with humor, real talk and ultimately, wants her clients to feel stronger and confident in their bodies through movement.

Karen is the author of The Beauty of Different, the Lightmaker’s Manifesto — and most notably for this conversation, her latest book, RADIANT REBELLION: Reclaim Aging, Practice Joy, and Raise a Little Hell.

Radiant Rebellion is an investigation into how we can reclaim aging, cultivate joy, and resist ageism. As Karen says, internalized ageism--bias against our future selves--is not our only option; we can write a different story of aging than the one we've been handed. In this conversation we’ll dive into all the ways we get wrapped up in ageism without even realizing it, and how, exactly, to move forward.

Changing your life, living your best life...sure they're great goals, but how do you actually make change happen? And, moreover, LAST? How do you balance striving for more while also enjoying what's right in front of you?

Today's guest is Liz Moody: the host of the top-rated 'The Liz Moody Podcast,' author of bestselling books 'Healthier Together: Recipes for Two—Nourish Your Body, Nourish Your Relationships' and 'Glow Pops,' and content creator who has helped millions of people transform their lives. Her new book, '100 Ways to Change Your Life: The Science of Leveling Up Health, Happiness, Relationships & Success', draws from Moody’s more than a decade of experience in the health and wellness world, serving as a new kind of personal development book — one that empowers readers to craft their unique, best life based on the habits they want to form, the problems they want to solve, and the parts of their life they want to take to the next level.

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT:

  • What people get wrong about your "best" life and what they should be focusing on instead
  • Science-backed ways to create habits that stick
  • A (BIG) curveball Liz was thrown in the book publishing process and how she navigated her way through it
  • Liz's own moment when she knew her life needed to change — and why
  • How to build real motivation
  • ...and more!

With so many things influencing us every single moment, is it ever possible to be "free" from influence? Where do these influences even come from? And how do we begin to choose what's right for us in the midst of so many voices and factors that seem to be choosing it FOR us?

And...sort of related...how do you LAUNCH A BOOK on your own terms, free from the influence of industry expectations?

Today's incredibly timely guest is Jessica Elefante, and we're talking about ALL of this. Jess is a writer and [former bullshit] artist who has spent the last few decades examining what it means to be human in our modern world. She's the author of Raising Hell, Living Well: Freedom from Influence in a World Where Everyone Wants Something from You (including me). Her book came out this week, one week after WANT YOUR SELF...so think of this episode as our dual-birthday-party. We recorded this before either of our books were published, so you're getting to hear the behind-the-scenes from two authors who are IN IT.

Jess is the founder of acclaimed Folk Rebellion and a critic of today’s culture, and her award-winning talks, films, and work have been featured by Vogue, the Los Angeles Times, The Observer, Paper magazine, Wired, and more. In her previous life as a brand strategist, she was recognized as one of Brand Innovators’ 40 Under 40 and has been a guest lecturer at Columbia Business School and New York University. She’s influenced by the social, cultural, and technological circumstances of her life but mostly by her desire to lead a colorful one. She is no longer bullshitting.

A must listen for anyone and everyone navigating the landscape of what it means to build a life of your own in today's day and age. Which is us all.

To get a book deal with a publishing house, you need to have a literary agent. But how do you find a literary agent? Where do you begin, and what should you look for? Is any agent better than no agent — and any deal a foot in the door of the publishing industry?

In Part 2 of this 3-part behind-the-scenes book publishing series, we're diving into the nitty-gritty of the agent-finding process, the agent-partnering process, and ultimately securing a book deal with a publisher.

We'll talk EXACT details on how to get started, how Katie (hi!) ultimately found her agent, and the plot twist that ended up leading to the book deal that was always meant to be.

(And, don't be fooled: this episode is really just a big life lesson in disguise :))

81% of people say they want to write a book...but only 15% begin. So how do you become one of those people, and actually START writing the book you've been dreaming about?

In this episode — part 1 of a 3-part behind-the-scenes book publishing series — we'll answer the biggest question Katie has gotten over the last few years about how to begin the book-writing process. We'll talk super-specific logistical steps, and also the essential mental and emotional work that goes into making sure your words make it to the page.

Plus, never-before-shared behind the scenes of how exactly WANT YOUR SELF: Shift Your Self-Talk and Unearth The Strength In Who You Were All Along came to life in those earliest days. It might not be what you expect!

You've probably heard (or used) the term "burnout" before...but what's actually going on when you're burnt out, and how can you turn it around? Or maybe even prevent it from happening in the first place? Do you need to hit certain marks for it to qualify as "burnout" vs. general blah-ness? Why are we all so spent??? 

Today’s guests are Amanda Baudier and Rebecca Stump, the co-founders of Full Plate Full Cup, an educational platform and boutique consultancy on a mission to help individuals and teams become wildly happy — and wildly successful. They bring over 35 years of combined leadership experience and numerous wellness certifications to all they do, from coaching executives 1:1 to hosting their podcast, also titled, Full Plate Full Cup.

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT: 

  • how to recognize burnout in a really easy-to-understand way
  • why more on your plate doesn’t necessarily equal more burnout (and less equal less)
  • how to set ruthless boundaries (including friendship boundaries) 
  • how to distinguish between what is necessary and what you can let go of
  • how to start to go from burnt out to lit up

And more!

Summer is the time for sunshine, longer days, and...an oddly large amount of FOMO potential???

The idea of how we "should be" spending our time exists throughout the year...but between vacation pics on Instagram, social invites, and ideas instilled in us at a young age about what the "perfect summer" looks like, the feelings of FOMO — Fear Of Missing Out — might be bubbling up for you extra hard right now.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why summertime is a hotbed for comparison and negative self-talk
  • Why "vacation" is a loaded word for a lot of us
  • How to rethink the opposite of FOMO — no "MO" necessary
  • Katie's quest for what we're gonna call JO-BO

...and more, on this Season 8 Finale!

When we do things that are hard...what are we REALLY doing? And how are we doing them?

In this episode, we're diving head-first into the topic of DOING HARD THINGS, and how to keep yourself in check and focused on growth (versus unintentionally keeping yourself stuck and small). Katie shares a conversation she and Jeremy had recently about being courageous in their own lives, and how you can refresh your approach to hard things in your life too.

Why is it that we have such a hard time celebrating ourselves out loud — even in the big moments that are worth celebrating?

In this episode, we're saying BYE to that! You'll hear about:

  • A huge, incredibly exciting moment Katie has been waiting for what seems like forever to share with you
  • Why we hold ourselves back from going big with our big moments
  • ALL (we mean ALL!) about...well, you'll have to listen ;)
  • And how you can get involved in this big moment in time, both by helping out in a small but HUGE way, and informing how we move forward on the pod and beyond
