Unclassified Woman offers an inspiring stream of conversation with women around the globe, who are building lives beyond society’s expectations. (2015-2019)

Part myth busting, part inspirational story sharing, I interviewed amazing women: authors, entrepreneurs, priestesses, coaches, speakers and creative mavens, sharing their experiences and insights, while questioning the expectations of women everywhere.

In the first season, I interviewed 40+ women all around the globe who are childless or childfree for a multitude of reasons. With almost 25% of women over 40 child-free by choice or childless through circumstance, it seems absurd that women still have to justify their decisions or endure pity about why they’re not mothers.

Motherhood is not a mandate. Yet so many women are made to feel ‘less than’ or viewed suspiciously or disparagingly, if they are creating a life of meaning beyond biological mothering. All of these outdated stereotypes lead to one dangerous assumption: what’s your value beyond being a mother? As mainstream society still tends to over-celebrate mothers ‘juggling it all’ and under-celebrate women who, whilst not mothers, have created lives of purpose and service. I have a dream one day, women who don’t have biological children—whatever the reason—no longer endure unfair judgments.

Unclassified Woman is the perfect antidote to limiting female narratives.
In the second season, my guests and I expanded on the creative power of ALL women. We explored the power of awakening womb consciousness. The womb or hara is the sacred creation portal from where we birth everything in our lives and yet the unlimited power within is as yet untapped by most women (and men) today.

This included working with the cycles of the moon, reconnecting deeply with the cycles of nature, aligning with the elements, harnessing the magic of the menstrual cycle and reclaiming the power of the divine feminine within. So if you’re interested in a stronger connection to Mother Earth, increased intuition, more soulful sex, more creativity, feeling better in your own skin and joyously walking your own path – tune in.
