🌟 Episode Summary
In this bold and deeply honest conversation, Keri welcomes coach and writer Galina Singer to explore what it really means to live beyond the status quo. Together, they examine the quiet (and not-so-quiet) ways women disrupt inherited roles—especially around marriage, motherhood, aging, identity, and the body.
From redefining partnership and parenting to navigating menopause and political despair, Galina speaks to the power of self-responsibility, embodied sovereignty, and the courage it takes to become “nobody” in order to become fully yourself.
This is a must-listen for anyone questioning long-held roles, longing for wholeness, or feeling the call to live with deeper truth and integrity.
🔑 Topics We Explore:
Why living in alignment can feel disruptive—even dangerous
Galina’s journey into truth-telling within long-term relationships
What sovereignty really means (hint: it’s with your body, not over it)
Reimagining marriage, conflict, and the myth of the “doting wife”
Navigating menopause as a sacred rite of passage
The body as messenger: hot flashes, skin symptoms, and suppressed anger
Redefining identity: playing with costumes instead of clinging to roles
Political division, spiritual resilience, and the power of curiosity
The healing force of conversation—and why listening is radical
