- holiday special - deep rest | ep.07
In the northern hemisphere, it is time of deepest darkness. The 21st of December marks the longest night and shortest day. We explore in this holiday special what it means to move into darkest and embrace it by going inwards, slowing down and resting. Especially at this particular moment of duality where we can experience the call towards resting and yet, need to be in holiday restlessness. In this holiday special, while still in production of season 02, we are called to share our experiences and inquiry around the topic of exhaustion, tiredness and deep rest. Living in our culture calls us to be in joy, in celebration, in constant giving and taking to reach a form of fullness. More so, everything opposite of light is disapproved and avoided - the ugly, the dark, the empty, the dying …
Come and join this conversation, in the comfort of your day or evening, a cup of tea and lots of nothingness. If you feel called, test out our ways of bringing more rest into your day to day.

51m | Dec 23, 2022 - the ritual of closing cycle one | ep. 06
End of a cycle. A conscious closure includes reflection and learning. Its purpose is to acknowledge what was and to fertilise what will be: a birth of something new, a new cycle, new beginnings, possibilities. In this episode, as we close cycle one of held in Sisterhood podcast, we hold space for reflection and speak to the space of transition, the unknown that asks us to not need to do. We invite our listeners in this episode to move together with us through acceptance, reflection and gratitude and learn how to consciously close a chapter.
Whether one is at the end of a job, relationship, place of living, approaching the cycle with attentiveness honors what was and does not discredit it to the mere feeling of end, which often absorbs the present moment. We are trained to jump into the next thing, to immediately take action, without enjoying this space of transition. From this pause in the unknown new creations can surface from unexpected grounds.
The next episode dates are unclear but our commitment to expand and grow through and with held in Sisterhood is certain. There will be more episodes, we assure you! And it will be fresh and raptured with our rawness of being held in sisterhood. Stay tuned for cycle two!

57m | Sep 6, 2022 - when a sister enters a partnership | ep. 05
When a sister enters a partnership, do the relationships become too crowded? Does it hold true that there has to be a choice between a sister and partner? In this episode, we explore what happens when a sister opens up to a romantic partnership. We uncover the lack of role models of how to be in sisterhood AND in partnerships in our society. This narrative is upheld by the fear of separation and loss. Throughout this episode, we open up to a new and higher perspective of the vitality of relationships and never truly being at a loss or separation.
The concept of sisterhood to us is the medicine for humanity to heal, grow, and be the mirror of potential to each other. Relationships as with everything in life are in constant interconnected transformation. As we enter partnerships, the dynamics with our friends and sisters will shift and a new connection is born. You do not have to approve of your sister's new partner. But you do get to choose how you build connections and with every relation, there’s an opportunity to grow and heal.

53m | Jul 31, 2022 - with fear of rejection in business | ep. 04
Sisterhood is not only about being in conversation with each other. Sisterhood also makes room for our wounds to be seen, heard and understood together. In this episode, Marlene reaches out to Anna with the need of being seen in her fear of receiving “no”s from potential clients. It’s a real life example of how a wound can be shared, embraced with compassion and transformed in the space of sisterhood. We make room for a lot of breathing and pauses and invite you to do that with us.
The concept of sisterhood to us is the medicine for humanity to heal, grow, and move through our own fears of success and worthiness. In one way or another, in this job or another, you have likely felt the fear of being rejected for who you are. All of you. And most of the time you hadn’t told anyone for the stigma of shame and weakness tied to it. But what if you did? What if you were held by a sister in this way?

1h 0m | Jul 10, 2022 - with and within business | ep. 03
Sisterhood is not limited to our personal connections with other women, it includes the relationships at our workplaces and can be the basis for a flourishing inclusive team, nurturing leadership collaborations, and ultimately a prosperous business. In this episode, we share our own experiences within the workplace, the presumptions that we’ve lived out of in the past when working with women, and the embodiment of a new way of being in business and collaborations.
The concept of sisterhood to us is the medicine for humanity to heal, grow, and be the mirror of potential to each other. The majority of our workplaces, virtual or physical, uphold a dominantly patriarchal approach where there is no space for emotions such as fear or insecurity. The result? Sisterhood wounds like comparison, combat, and isolation are consistently endorsed. By healing those wounds through consciously relating with each other, we can shift the way we “do business.”

40m | Jun 26, 2022 - how to hold space for yourself | ep. 02
Deep held sisterhood can only happen when you are the sister to yourself, when you can hold your own experience from within. In this episode, we explore what that means as we talk introspectively about our own journeys. We share steps that helped us hold ourselves when we’re triggered by the outer environment.
The concept of sisterhood to us is the medicine for humanity to heal, grow, and be the wholeness that we are. A part of human existence is to get triggered and feel anger, sadness, or fear. With ourselves and with each other we can create the space to witness and see our triggers as guides of our inner growth and self-nourishment.

47m | May 29, 2022 - why "held in sisterhood"? | ep. 01
In this episode, we speak about “held in sisterhood” - as a concept, a belief and a methodology that connects us to ourselves and other beings. The episode speaks to what that means to us, looking at the parts “holding/ being held” and “sisterhood” and feeling into it as a whole. Lastly, we unravel why we choose to share this with you in a format of a dialogue.
Most of our wounds originate in relationships which means they can heal through that interrelational space between beings. As we expand and make room to hold others and ourselves in love, acceptance and belief, we can see each other for all which we are and all which we are becoming.
Welcome to the first episode with many more to come biweekly!

39m | May 1, 2022 - whose side are you on? | ep. 00
This is a very special episode, as we explore our thoughts and feelings regarding the war in Ukraine. Yup, we’re going right in there. Why? Because it felt alive for us to ask ourselves the big question “which side are you on? This is also a pre-launch episode we felt called to share now with the sensitivity of the world situation. Join us as we move through the discomforts, the doubts, the pains and the tears that we felt while talking about this subject in a space of non-judgmentalism.
The concept of sisterhood to us is the medicine for humanity to heal, to grow, to come back home. This includes holding space for the variety of opinions between us and within us. Maybe it is not about picking a side at all but about coming home within ourselves to find our own truth and be loved and connected despite and because of it?
