UNTAMING: Stories of young women finding meaning and purpose through intentional living. These women speak openly and honestly about their lived experiences and how that has awakened in them the need to change old ways of being and living today, now.
From motherhood to working in corporate America, from being a women in the male dominated world of athletics to working in mental health and being a voice for change for future generations.
These conversations are with women finding that authentic, untamed truth within and speaking up and out. They want a place at the table of change and they are struggling to find their way just like the rest of us AND they are doing it, despite the fear, uncertainty and shame that is universal us all.
Listen to this series and you will find rawly relatable, heart touching, and frustrating experiences of sexual assault, body dysmorphia, eating disorders, sexism. You will hear courage and hope and the struggle to understand and redirect.
May this awaken a part of you that may be settling for a life less then what aligns with your truth and what is possible today, in this incredible time of change. Or maybe you can take a deep exhale knowing that there are women out there doing the work this world needs and as an elder you have opened the doorway for that possibility.

On this week's podcast we welcome Jo Clancy. Discovering her neurodiversity with a diagnosis of ADHD in her early 30's, Jo shares her experience of life before and after a diagnosis. She takes us on a journey of her life starting with her many interests; photography, post-carding, traveling, global health work in multiple countries , and so much more. Here energy seems infinite along with her determination to leave the world a better place.
Below is a statement from Jo...
I have had a broad background of careers and interests (ADHD for the win!), working in the Insurance industry, restaurant (front of the house and back), animal industry (ranch manager, horse trainer, zookeeper, exotic animal vet tech), and currently ultrasound. I originally went to college for graphic design and still get a lot of joy from artistic hobbies (photography especially), and later went to veterinary school, with a focus in exotics and wildlife. I used to scuba, rock climb, trail run, ride horses, and now ride a motorcycle, garden, knit, travel and make postcards from my photographs, which I send all over the world in a group called Post crossing. I have volunteered in some capacity for most of my life, giving my mom credit for that passion. I worked as a volunteer for therapeutic riding programs, wildlife rehabilitation, sea turtle conservation, raising money for scholarships at the MSU Wine Festival, and many more.

Looking back at this I can see why I drove my somewhat conventional parents mad! 🙂
