| 6/30/26 |  Preach Like a Filmmaker: Rewriting Who Gets to Tell the Story | Success. Stability. Achievement. From the outside, everything can look exactly right—and still feel completely disconnected from who you really are. In this moving episode of Words of Wisdom from Kick-Ass Women, hosts Liz Brohan and Mary Olivieri welcome special guest Shauna Hannan for a conversation about the quiet moments that change everything: the moments when you stop performing, stop proving, and start paying attention to yourself. Through stories of unexpected pivots, difficult choices, personal reinvention, and learning to trust inner knowing over outside expectations, this episode explores what it means to reclaim your own voice across different seasons of life. Together, they unpack identity, burnout, motherhood, relationships, healing, and the surprising courage it takes to leave behind things that once defined you. If you’ve ever wondered whether the life you built still fits the person you’ve become—or felt guilty for wanting something different—this conversation offers permission to pause, reflect, and choose yourself. Because sometimes growth doesn’t begin with doing more. It begins with listening. | — | ||||||
| 6/16/26 |  The Creative Power of Female Rage | What if the emotions you've spent a lifetime managing are actually trying to tell you something important? In this captivating episode of Words of Wisdom from Kick-Ass Women, Liz Brohan welcomes author and creative powerhouse Sam Beck-Bessinger for a conversation that blends storytelling, social commentary, and a healthy dose of the unexpected. Inspired by her new novel Femme Feral, Sam explores why so many women are taught to suppress their anger, instincts, and desires—and what happens when those buried feelings finally surface. From the realities of perimenopause and workplace inequities to creativity, horror writing, and the power of embracing your own "weirdness," this discussion challenges conventional ideas about what it means to be strong. Sam shares fascinating insights from her research, reflects on the influence of her South African roots, and offers a compelling perspective on how women can transform frustration into purpose. It's a funny, honest, and thought-provoking conversation about reclaiming your voice, trusting yourself, and finding freedom in the parts of yourself you've been taught to hide. | — | ||||||
