half-English, half-German) and they have two bairns, M & R.
She has her MA in European History from Royal Holloway, University of
London, and her BA in History & International Studies from Roger
Williams University.
A life-long writer and reader of fiction, fantasy, magical realism,

She spent the majority of her teen and young adult years roleplaying
with close friends online, inspired by countless magical worlds and
world history. She is currently working on her debut novel- the first
in a trilogy."
Olivia is sharing about her childhood dancing as a Ballerina. As an adult she's come full circle and gone back to Ballet, realizing it's once again a dream she has. I LOVE her story!!!!

This week's guest is Nicole Jenkins, co-founder of Ladies and the Trap, and member of Unega Mountain Dog Rescue.
Nicole was one of the first confirmed guests when Misty decided to do a series on Dreamers. Once a special needs school teacher, Nicole has faithfully remained tuned in to herself, and when something no longer served her, she's followed that intuitive calling along an incredible journey. Today, living many dog lovers' dreams, Nicole spends her days rescuing dogs. Through her business Ladies and the Trap, where they rescue lost pets, and working full time with Unega Mountain Dog Rescue, where they rescue, rehabilitate, and home Great Pyrenees and Akbash working dogs.
Not only does Nicole impart some serious wisdom regarding following our dreams, and reflecting back on how intuitive choices truly do bring us full circle in alignment, but she enlightens us on what it means for a dog to be considered a working dog, and how sad the lives of most of these dogs are before Unega finds them.
If you love dogs like we do, and are looking for a deeply needed and worthy cause to contribute to, we hope you'll consider Unega Mountain Dog Rescue.

My guest today is indie folk-pop artist Ivy Eld, from Ashville North Carolina. Ivy's music dances in the land of paradox. Her voice is simultaneously angelic and rawly human. Ivy longs for her music to be an oasis of healing and beauty–a call to deeper respect and compassion for ourselves and for humanity. She considers her music to be another facet of how she shows up in the world in authentic and passionate service–as a singer-songwriter, a therapist, a mom, a partner, an advocate, a friend, a human. She hopes her thoughtful, earthy, poetic songs will inspire others to look inside–light, shadows, and all–and come home to their deeply worthy selves.
Talking with Ivy is as enlightening as it is grounding. Her support of Indigenous artists and the authentic way in which she walks the both/and path are just the tip of the many reasons why Ivy is an artist and woman to support and follow...

Katie Allen is NO stranger to the show! Our Collective Community adores her! Katie Allen is a stylist who, a few years ago, had to pivot when she lost her job in corporate America. What followed was a real-time lesson via her podcast in reconnecting with who she was as a woman. Today, Katie is a stylist using her "Feelings First" styling methodology to connect women back to their bodies and lives by reawakening their signature style. Katie believes that our clothes allow us to choose a feeling and manifest whatever we want–whether that's more fun, more connection, or more abundance.

Our guest in this episode is Sarah Weeger, or “Weegs” as her friends call her. Sarah is a wife, a full-time mom to their 4-year-old daughter, Hudson, and the owner of Hey Weegs, a greeting company. She founded Hey Weegs a few years ago after becoming a mom, and finding herself diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety. As part of her healing, and as the former graphic designer she was, Sarah began creating the cards that she had wished she received during those times: cards that address the hard things people might be going through – without the unsolicited advice or trite cliches, trying to fix it. Today, Sarah has created nearly 100 designs – ranging from what she calls “Cards for Sucky Situations”, cards for moms (her sweet spot), and just plain funny, go-to cards for things like birthdays.

The start of February brings our fourth season to a close! How is that even possible??? One hundred and thirty-three conversations with well over 150 amazing women. Humbled! I am so grateful this is my life! For the next several months we will each be pursuing our own projects, plans, trips, and adventures while also resting and connecting with others in our individual ways.
Perhaps the biggest miracle of all is that the five of us were able to come together and record this conversation for you! We absolutely love the times when we can come together, and hopefully, you'll love this often silly conversation too! We chat about what this season has been like for us, what we've learned, and where we each (as individuals) are headed in this next chapter.
We want to thank you for being the best listeners and community! Now, it's time to rest...

In this week's team chat Chantal, Misty, and Nikki are tackling such topics as bad habits, vulnerability, store returns, bad soup recipes, and the unhealthy of excess (especially during the holidays.) Chantal also talks about her hiatus from social media and the effect this has been having on her life. It may sound like we're all over the place, but really it all comes together. We even touch on introverts, too much peopling, and the kind of parties we thrive at.
Grab your favorite cup of comfort and come hang out with the team–it's girlfriend hour!

In this week's Collective team chat Maggie, Misty, and Veronica dissect a chart-topping Doris Day track from 1952 entitled "A Guy is a Guy". How do the lyrics of this track reflect in today's society? How did it reflect in the lives of 50's women? Furthermore, in what small ways do women still not have equality? It is this sort of deep conversation which takes the women down the path of asking themselves the important, probing question:
Team Straw, or Team no Straw?

Maggie and Misty are hanging out this week with fellow authenticity and storytelling advocate Jessi Shuraleff. If you aren't familiar with Jessi (or her podcast This is My Truth), be prepared to get to know a truly genuine soul! Believing deeply that curiosity is a superpower, Jessi shares her brave story through infertility, IVF, and the things that unfolded as a result.

Maggie, Misty, and Veronica are here this week, hanging out in this safe space to admit we're tired. Are you tired? the mid-trauma, emotional fatigue happening to the majority of us is REAL, and our habits are often questioning, shaming, or not trusting these feelings. Sometimes it takes a frank chat with others to realize there's nothing wrong with you and you are doing ok.

Sometimes when we hang out, crazy stuff may come out of someone's mouth. It's fine. We're fine. I'm fine...
This week Chantal, Misty, and Nikki are hanging out. It's like the fun friend hour when everyone is chillin' and we just talk about whatever comes to mind. In the intense and overwhelming negativity out there right now, these times are nice. This week, it was Nikki who kicked off the conversation chatting about her "Unpopular opinion", which it turned out wasn't that unpopular. This took us into discussions of wardrobe malfunctions and then, as smoothly as a conversation could flow, Chantal asked a deep question which took Misty down the trail of MURDER.
Not murdering someone, just talking about murder.
Fun times... (to be clear, no one murdered anyone or has plans to murder anyone. We do not advocate for the unaliving of anyone.)
But also, we would love for you to weigh in on where you fall all things Pumpkin Spice and murder...
(Disclaimer, this is NOT a true-crime podcast, though it is titled like a Cozy Autumn Mystery)

Misty had the absolute privilege to hang out with fellow podcast host Becky Kilimnik. Becky's podcast Homespun Haints is a fascinating adventure into both the art of storytelling and the richness of our everyday stories. The unexpected treasures from hearing about Becky's journey from growing up in Appalachia to hosting her show were the life lessons she shares about listening to her intuition and embracing risk. We could learn a lot from Becky!
She also shares a fascinating ghost story! So fun!

Maggie and Misty are hanging out with Katie Allen (of the Just Realized Podcast) today for that classic girlfriend coffee date that we're all missing, yet we get to sip our beverages from the comfort of our own yoga pants...
This week we hit on some needed wisdom, like how we often settle and don't believe the big things for us... we also talk a bit about healthy boundaries for ourselves, our time, what having kids home for an entire pandemic feels like, along with the emotions of school resuming. We also do a small dive into not only the enneagram and what it has meant for us, but what that looks like with our partners.
We cover several bases this week, in that perfectly normal conversational way, complete with laughter and the magic that comes from simply connecting with other women!

Lizzi Cutler, a healing arts trainer who focuses on the mind, body, and spirit is our guest this week. Lizzi is passionate about helping to destigmatize and release shame/judgment around sexuality so women can thrive. She considers herself a SEXPERT and we suspect she is really on to something. Misty and Maggie had the chance to hang out with Lizzi and, in the process, we had a really raw conversation about women, orgasms, and why they matter. It has nothing to do with vulgarity and little to do with sex. In fact, as this season continues to unfold we are once again witnessing an unraveling of the invisible oppressions (and misconceptions) ingrained into us, as women.
Enlightening and empowering are great ways to summarize this conversation with Lizzi Cutler!

In the season three finale of the Rainy Day Collective Podcast, Misty sits down with Collective Team member Veronica. Veronica is the founder of the women's empowerment endeavor A.I.M: Amazing Incredible Me, and comes from a background in the Fashion Industry. It is in the telling of her story when Veronica shares that on her birthday (September 11th, 2001) she was going to school in NYC. Hearing the story from her perspective is sobering and, oddly, inspiring.
This leads to a conversation regarding the racial discrimination and the crippling fear that many Americans are dealing with right now. We are wrapping the season with a hard hitting episode, but one that can definitely leave us on a note of hope.

Probably the most consistent theme, here at the Rainy Day Collective, is the sharing with you stories of women who have navigated some unimaginably hard things. Becky Sexton is here to tell her heavy story of loss, and yet- and yet, she has an incredibly honest and peaceful way of letting the light in. Her story, as a woman, daughter and mother is one to both give us pause and guide us through our own hard things. Nikki and Misty were so blessed to sit in her presence...

Abbey Howe, of Enneagram with Abbey, came to hang out with Misty, Maggie and Nikki. At the time of this recording we were each self isolating in different corners of the US and admittedly a big dazed by the world unfolding as it was. Abbey gives us so basic enneagram info and helps us see not only how helpful it can be, but how absolutely passionate she is about it.
When we pursue passions, the world opens up in new ways!

Maggie and Misty get the opportunity to bridge not only the barriers of self isolation, but an entire ocean to chat with anxiety expert, life coach, fellow podcaster and all around empowering woman Vikki Louise! In addition to hearing her personal story, we talk about how to navigate this life season, and Vikki offers us GREAT advice! She is a POWERHOUSE and so well organized that we had a moment where we had covered so many huge things so quickly, we were just kind of left wondering "now what"?

The interview was recorded just before the entire globe began to feel the impact of Covid-19, and Sam's message of hope and kindness felt so relevant.

In this episode, Misty is lucky enough to sit down for a one on conversation with our guest Dana. Dana vulnerably recounts her story of domestic violence, delving deeply into important/key issues that a lot of "outsiders" may not understand. She addresses isolation, why victims often "stay", or "go back", and really gets personal.
Some of the topics in this episode may be uncomfortable.
Whether you're someone who has been in that position or not, Dana offers amazing wisdom about how to help and be supportive, even when we don't understand.

Hello 2020! There are so many wise, witty and empowering things we could say about this new year (and new decade). Quite some time ago Misty and Nikki sat down for a talk with Jessica Silverman, and it became clear this conversation would be the perfect and positivity-chalked way to kick off this new chapter. Among the many kernels of beautiful wisdom Jessica gives to us, are:
-
- Overcoming burnout & exhaustion
-
- How Overthinking results in our undoing and simply manifests the very things we didn't want to happen.
-
- WHY it is time to prioritize connecting to our body
-
- Why we should learn to glorify rest.
-
- SO MUCH MORE...

As we approach the end of 2019 and move towards, not only a new year, but also a new decade, we often find ourselves contemplating goals and feeling overwhelmed by finances. We decided to bring in an expert, both because this is what she does but ALSO because she got passionate about finances after being in that overwhelming place many of us have- and climbing out! Misty, Marion and Nikki sat down to chat with Niyani Armstrong. FULL of encouragement and PRACTICAL solutions, Niyani gives us a great conversation to help motivate us for this next calendar chapter!

Collective Listeners- this is EPISODE 60! What?!?!? it has been an amazing journey together and today's episode is perfect for marking the occasion! We asked author Lyndsey Medford to come back and talk the enneagram. There is NOTHING educational about this episode, instead it is just four of us talking about what we know, what we don't, why it matters and why (we believe) everyone should learn about their numbers stat!
We here, at the Collective, are big fans of podcasts! (obvi!) If you're new to the enneagram, or find yourself overwhelmed with where to start, we've included some podcasts that aren't intimidating and can help. If you have other resources you'd like to share- we'd love that too!

It doesn't matter our backgrounds, where we came from, what our religious/personal beliefs are, or our economic status- Infertility does not discriminate. Some women rely on their faith to get through, while others seek different forms of growth. In this episode we come together with five women, to hear a fragment of their journey through infertility. Perhaps what brought strength to one, didn't another. Through the different experiences, different outcomes and individual journeys we learn a very powerful lesson: Infertility is isolating and connecting with other survivors is a powerfully cathartic thing...

Maggie & Misty sit down with Emily Heiden. Emily is a PHD student, as well as a well published essayist. During this current climate in our culture, Emily's story is one (among so many) that we need to hear. Emily bravely shares her story of abortion, and while we respect that this is a sensitive topic (on both sides), these stories are ones we NEED to intentionally listen to. Emily bravely shares her journey and touched both of our hosts very deeply.
Whether we find ourselves on the pro-life or pro-choice side of this debate, it is VITAL that we acknowledge these are living/breathing human beings who are dealing with really hard things, and they deserve compassion, empathy and for our a chance to be heard. This topic causes so much reaction, while while those caught in the middle often end up being overlooked. We can be better, we can love better...

When I first became aware of my social media connection with my guest, Ritu Bhathal, we had a little exchange about being over forty and still being more than capable of chasing, and conquering, our goals. Out of that conversation stemmed the idea for a Podcast episode about this. Let's face it, ladies, we live in a world where the ideas fed to us about the age of 40 are not gentle or kind...
What I didn't expect was the details between Ritu beginning to chase her dream to write, and the tragedy, heartbreak, struggle and life that would happen within the years leading to where she is today. Her perspective on age also comes from a place different than my standard, Americanized one, because not only is she from another country, but she lives within an ethnic culture that adds its own complications and pressures.
I am so grateful I get to share my new friend Ritu with you! She is an author, poet, teacher, wife, mother and absolutely amazing!
Beyond this podcast, you can find Ritu around the world wide web by visiting her blog, website, Instagram, and of course, twitter.

Some people miss the point of optimism and are just too giddy. We've all met them. In today's show, our guest is one of the most sincerely positive people I have ever encountered! Alongside my co-host Maggie, we got to chat with Megan Moulton. Not only is her positivity infectious, it is truly inspiring as she is HIV positive. Come get to know Megan, hear her story and learn some interesting facts along the way. (Of which I'll admit, HIV is a topic I knew very little actual facts about.)

Our guest, Jessica, has big dreams... Being a first generation child of an immigrant, she's watched her father work hard and achieve great success. She, like the rest of us, has walked through this life with her fair share of hardships and disappointments but with her son (and trusty sidekick), she is relentlessly pursuing her dream. Jessica was an ABSOLUTE joy to have as a guest, and we know you will love her too!

In Episode 32, as we kick off the Month of May, I had the opportunity to sit down with two amazing women and talk Postpartum Depression, the journey of making intentional memories and mental/emotional health. My cohost was my life long friend Sarah, who is a midwife and our guest was fellow podcast host Jennifer Tierney. Jennifer's podcast How To Make a Memory serves as a medium for connecting with others and as a love letter to her children... Jennifer shares about her journey with postpartum depression and shares some really helpful information. Sarah was the best cohost for this episode, hands down!
(*Editing is mentioned in this episode but did not get done completely due to a death in the family.)

I had the distinct privilege of sitting down to chat with two beautiful women who are inspiring and successful in their own ways, while also happening to be married to law enforcement officers. Anjanette is in Seattle and Kara is near Detroit, here in the mitten state... In a time when the climate of America is a little, well, wonky and there seems to be mixed feelings directed towards our LEOs, I take value in the perspectives of these women and the challenging ways they helped affect my thoughts...

If you're familiar with Tabatha than most of the things in this episode won't come as a surprise, as she is one of the most genuine people I've ever been in contact with. We talk about all sides of infidelity, what a journey through that looks like and how it changes you. Tabatha also talks about her book (link in show notes, on our website) where she gets even more personal with her story...
