She Speaks | A Let Her Speak Podcast

We are celebrating women's fearlessness, resiliency, and readiness to change the world. Hosted by Catherine Porth, Founder of Let Her Speak. This podcast is an expansion of the She Speaks Series, a project that elevated and celebrated women's stories across the US during the pandemic. The first season of the She Speaks Podcast is about honoring how far we've come over the last 2+ years. Throughout the season, you will hear interviews with women we captured during the pandemic followed by a new episode where we catch up with them 2 years later to talk about what has changed, what they've learned, and what they're doing now. Join us weekly on this journey of amplifying women's authentic stories. Together - we will make our voices heard!

Do you make yourself a priority? For many, putting yourself as a priority can sometimes be an afterthought, a "nice to do" if you have the time and energy after doing all the other things and tending to everyone else.

That's one of the topics that Dr. Dasha Lundy and Amy Moden dive into in this latest episode. Amy is a graduate of the  Let Her Lead program and  Dasha was her coach this year.

If you’ve been connected to our community for a while, then you already know how we feel about “hustle” culture. One other thing that we're getting REAL tired of is the requirement for women to live in a world where we have to be constantly resilient.

Why is it not enough to just be?

The frustration with our society celebrating hustle and resiliency led to a very interesting conversation between our founder. ...

Chances are if you grew up as the eldest sibling in a large household, the idea of rest is something that you aren’t too familiar with. Oftentimes when you’re the older sibling, your childhood includes caring for and watching over younger brothers and sisters.

This was the reality for Jaleria Rivera who just recently discovered she felt found through dance.

Jaleria always enjoyed dancing and movement growing up an...

If you've been listening to other women's interviews from The Found Project, you may have noticed a theme — many of the featured women have found rest when they are doing something outside.

But what about doing “nothing” outside? When we say nothing, we mean going out into nature with no goal or expectations in mind… just being.

That idea may be hard for some to imagine, but for Sarah Schortz spending ti...

Rest can be a hard thing to prioritize when we are tuned in to the preachings of hustle culture — because if you’re not working, what are you doing?

This mentality is common among women, especially those who are juggling running a business, raising a family, and/or managing a household. But Jordan Morgan discovered that she felt found through yoga after only seeing it as another form of work for many years.

When you think about what you like to do when you’re resting, does it involve another person…or an animal?

Growing up on a farm with a big noisy family (lots of brothers), Rachel Woods had to share everything except for one thing — her horses. She learned to escape to her restful place when she was just a child, finding solace in the quiet of the barn.

To this day, Rachel still feels the most found with her horse,...

We are all aware of the healing power of nature. Being outdoors is a great way to step away from the constant stream of news, screen time, and to-do lists that only perpetuate the feeling of being disconnected from our true selves — after all, we are inherently a part of nature.

Growing up in Florida, Michelle Guanaga spent time outdoors paddling, sitting around the fire, and riding her bike. Even now, as an adult, she fee...

Prayer is something that is used by many people throughout the world, regardless of religion or spiritual affiliation. Sometimes we use it as an intentional form of thankfulness or gratitude, but if you’re like Elena Petzold, it can also be a form of rest, reflection, and meditation.

Elena didn’t discover the feeling of being found through her restful activity of prayer until 2020.

Things didn’t start out easy and...
