White Women Wake UpWhose History Gets Protected and Whose Gets ErasedIn this episode of White Women Wake Up, Karen and Jonelle examine how historical narratives are shaped by power, protection, and selective memory. They explore how whitewashed history sustains comfort for white Americans while erasing violence, exclusion, and exploitation experienced by marginalized communities. Through examples ranging from wartime sexual violence by American soldiers to the exclusion of Black women from feminist movements, the conversation highlights how hero narratives obscure harm rather than confront it. Karen and Jonelle unpack the emotional resistance that arises when long-held stories are disrupted and reflect on how defensiveness functions as a form of self-protection...

White Women Wake UpThe Watchful Dragon: When Defensiveness Blocks GrowthIn this episode, Karen and Jonelle explore the idea of the “watchful dragon,” a concept borrowed from C.S. Lewis that describes the unconscious inner protector guarding our sense of safety and identity. This inner defense often activates when our beliefs feel challenged, especially in conversations about race, change, and belonging. Through personal stories, including a charged conversation in a cab and reactions to harmful rhetoric online, they examine how fear, rather than hatred, frequently drives defensiveness and withdrawal. The discussion highlights how cultural conditioning and inherited narratives shape what feels comfortable or threatening, even when we see ourselves as k...

White Women Wake UpAccountability Over Empathy: What the “Male Loneliness” Narrative Reveals About Emotional LaborIn this episode of White Women Wake Up, Karen and Jonelle unpack the growing conversation around the “male loneliness epidemic” and ask a harder question: who is being asked to carry the emotional labor of fixing it? Moving past media narratives that frame men as victims and women as the solution, they explore how loneliness affects everyone and how patriarchy limits emotional literacy, especially for men. Drawing parallels to the exhaustion BIPOC women experience when asked to educate white women, the conversation reframes loneliness as a systemic issue rooted in cultural expectations, not individual failure. The episode challenges listeners to e...

White Women Wake UpWho Controls the Story? White Women, Book Bans, and the Battle for EmpathyIn this episode, Karen and Jonelle dig into the rising wave of book bans and why they matter for anyone committed to waking up. Using their own childhood favorites and foundational reads as starting points, they explore how stories expand empathy, reveal hidden histories, and interrupt the narrow narratives many white women inherited. But with thousands of books banned in recent years across forty-five states, a small but powerful group is restricting student access to diverse perspectives and reshaping culture through fear and paperwork. The conversation examines how book bans confuse opinion with fact, silence marginalized voices, and weaken...

White Women Wake UpThe Ladder and the Hole: Giving, Systems, and the Stories We Never TellIn this episode, Karen and Jonelle explore why stories of generosity often stop at the surface. Using examples from holiday giving, volunteer work, and media narratives, they examine how white culture celebrates the ladder that helps someone climb out of a difficult situation while rarely naming the systems that dug the hole in the first place. From incarceration debt to credit barriers to the everyday realities of youth experiencing homelessness, they unpack how individual “bad choices” are often shaped by structural forces. They discuss the discomfort white givers sometimes feel when praise replaces accountability and how real allyship requires unde...

White Women Wake UpA New Season, A New Way to Wake UpSeason 2 opens with a new way to approach growth. Instead of rigid goals shaped by productivity culture, Karen and Jonelle introduce their Bingo Card Intention Framework, a playful system for staying engaged in long-term bias work without shame or burnout.

White Women Wake UpWhat We Learned This Year: Honest Reflection, Hard Lessons, and Waking Up Together In this anniversary episode, Karen and Jonelle look back at one year of conversations, discomfort, learning, and unlearning. They revisit the heart of their work: examining how inherited biases shape everyday choices, relationships, and assumptions. Together, they explore how humility, listening, and self-awareness changed them more than they expected. What began as a plan to teach quickly became a journey of becoming more honest about their blind spots, cultural conditioning, and the emotional habits that surface when things get uncomfortable. They discuss the tension between wanting to fix, wanting to comfort, and actually learning to listen. They also share the i...

White Women Wake UpWhen Expectations Break Us — Acceptance, Grief, and Letting People Be ThemselvesIn this episode, Karen and Jonelle dig into the uncomfortable truth behind accepting people as they are. What starts as a conversation about expectations quickly becomes something more personal: why we struggle to accept the real people in our lives and how much grief sits beneath that struggle. Karen introduces self-discrepancy theory by E. Tory Higgins—the gap between who we are, who we wish we were, and who we believe we ought to be—and how those inner narratives spill outward, shaping the expectations we place on others. Together, they examine projection, disappointment, resentment, and the chronic stress that...

White Women Wake UpRewriting the Script: How Movies Shape What We Believe About Gender and PowerIn this episode of White Women Wake Up, Karen and Jonelle explore how decades of movie tropes have quietly shaped our collective ideas about gender, race, and relationships. From Casablanca to The Goonies, they trace how stereotypes—women as “simps,” men as “bros,” and people of color as caricatures—still echo through modern storytelling. Jonelle reflects on her “classic movie challenge” and what it revealed about how media cultivates bias, while Karen connects these patterns to today’s advertising and political imagery. Together, they ask: What happens when the stories we love teach us to normalize inequality? And how can we reimagine r...

White Women Wake UpThe Hard Work of Letting People BeThis week, Karen and Jonelle dig into what it really means to let people be—without needing them to think, act, or believe like us. Karen shares how a moment at church triggered deep discomfort around conversion culture and her own lifelong urge to “help” others align with her values. Together, the two explore how white women are often taught to equate goodness with agreement and acceptance with control. They look at why authenticity requires boundaries, why curiosity can feel risky, and how moral certainty can quietly turn into moral policing. In a culture that rewards comfort and conformity, this c...

White Women Wake UpFrom Equity to Exclusivity: The Quiet Shift in Dual-Language SchoolsDual-language preschools were created to celebrate cultural and linguistic diversity, yet many are now being reshaped by privilege. This episode looks at how programs once designed for shared language learning have become popular among affluent white families, driving up costs and limiting access for others. Karen and Jonelle explore how good intentions—wanting children to experience another language—can unintentionally reinforce inequity when opportunity becomes exclusive. The conversation broadens to question the systems that turn inclusion into advantage, urging listeners to think about who benefits and who gets left out. With honesty and care, they discuss what it means to m...

White Women Wake UpThe Tradwife Trap: When Branding Masquerades as EmpowermentThis week on White Women Wake Up, Karen and Jonelle take a hard look at the tradwife movement—a social media trend romanticizing “traditional” homemaking while quietly monetizing it. Behind the pastel aprons and vintage aesthetics lies a contradiction: many of these so-called traditional wives are entrepreneurs, influencers, and podcasters profiting from the very labor they claim to reject. The hosts unpack how this rebranding of submission as virtue hides real work, reinforces privilege, and distorts what choice and empowerment truly mean. They connect the dots between invisible labor, authenticity, and justice—asking what happens when women sell an illusion...

White Women Wake UpBeyond the Food Desert: Naming Food Apartheid and the Cost of Systemic NeglectThis week, Karen and Jonelle explore how language shapes awareness—and accountability. What many call “food deserts” are not barren by nature but by design. Coined by activists like Kerry Washington, the term food apartheid more accurately names the systems that segregate communities from affordable, nutritious food. Together, they unpack how profit-driven zoning and racialized neglect turn low-income neighborhoods into nutritional dead zones, driving higher rates of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. They also wrestle with the discomfort of language itself: when does naming inequity awaken understanding, and when does it alienate those who most need to listen? Moving from e...

White Women Wake UpFrom Apathy to Action: Naming White Women’s BurnoutKaren and Jonelle explore a term that’s been circulating in activist spaces—white women apathy. But as they dig deeper, they realize the issue isn’t indifference, it’s burnout. Many white women doing diversity and justice work feel emotionally drained, unsure how to keep showing up when progress feels slow or unseen. The hosts challenge the idea that exhaustion equals disengagement, reframing it instead as a signal to rest, re-evaluate, and reconnect with purpose. They discuss how shifting personal definitions of value—from external validation and numbers to inner growth and community—can rekindle motivation. Apathy, they argue, often...

Together, they unpack how...

They draw on both personal stories and research to show why silence is never neutral and why staying at the table matters. At the center of their conversation is the BRAVE framework: Breathe, Reflect, Acknowledge, Voice values over victory, Exit with intention....

White Women Wake UpInside and Out: How Social Identity Shapes Our ReactionsIn this episode of White Women Wake Up, Karen and Jonelle examine social identity theory—the idea that our self-esteem is often tied to group membership, which leads us to view our “in-group” as good and “outsiders” as bad. Using recent violent events as a lens, they explore why some tragedies spark widespread outcry while others are met with silence. From media coverage that overrepresents white victims to the empathy gap revealed in psychological studies, the conversation reveals how deeply ingrained biases influence whose pain we recognize and whose suffering we overlook. Karen and Jonelle also reflect on their own experi...

White Women Wake UpFrom Bias to Belonging: The Power of InterdependenceIn this episode of White Women Wake Up, Karen and Jonelle explore how interdependence transforms the way we challenge bias and build belonging. White women are often taught to strive for independence—doing it all alone—or to slip into codependence, losing themselves in the needs of others. Interdependence offers another path: a shared practice of mutual care, accountability, and authenticity. Through personal stories of failure and resilience, they highlight how choosing community over isolation dismantles the “isms” that thrive when we separate ourselves. They unpack why transactional help is not the same as community, why asking for support feels so...

White Women Wake UpUnmasking Ableism: Rethinking Neurodiversity and InclusionIn Episode 40 of White Women Wake Up, Karen and Jonelle turn their attention to ableism and its everyday impact. They explore how neurodivergent people are often pressured to mask to fit into neurotypical expectations, and why this demand for assimilation can be harmful rather than supportive. Drawing from teaching, personal experience, and lived realities, the hosts highlight how good intentions—like “modeling” behavior—can unintentionally reinforce exclusion. Instead, real inclusion begins with asking what success and support look like for each individual, and trusting the answers given. From autism and ADHD to dyslexia, anxiety, and more, they call for a shift...

They share personal stories of grappling with conflict avoidance, the fear of...

Decolonizing Our Self-Care PracticesIn this episode of White Women Wake Up, Karen and Jonelle unpack the hidden layers of cultural appropriation in today’s wellness industry. From yoga studios with no South Asian teachers to trendy sound baths, sage burning, and mindfulness retreats, they examine how many white women’s wellness practices borrow heavily from other cultures without honoring their origins. The hosts explore how wellness spaces often exclude marginalized communities through high costs, ableism, and elitism—while simultaneously reinforcing a “better person” narrative for those who participate. They challenge listeners to recognize both the personal benefits and systemic harms of wellness culture, a...

White Women Wake UpDecoding the Dog Whistle: How “Soft” Words Shield Hard TruthsIn Episode 37, Karen and Jonelle pull back the curtain on coded language—those seemingly harmless words that hide bias in plain sight. They introduce the CODE scan (Context, Othering, Denied specifics, Echo) as a quick litmus test for spotting dog-whistles in conversation. Real-world examples abound: a car-dealer who calls residents “weird,” Maude Littleton’s smear of the Jewish Levy family at Monticello, and political catchphrases like “merit-based” or “DEI” that quietly signal who belongs and who does not. Soft language, they warn, can grease the wheels of oppression—440 anti-DEI bills have advanced across 42 states while many voters miss the subtext. The hosts...

White Women Wake UpBeyond Borrowed Voices: Reading for AuthenticityKaren and Jonelle tackle when imaginative empathy crosses into cultural appropriation. Jonelle defines appropriation as writers “taking ownership… and not giving honor, research, or credit to its heritage”. She flags 2024 data: more than half of novels with LGBTQ protagonists were written by straight authors, proving demand often outruns authentic representation. Karen defends artistic freedom yet agrees readers must verify whose stories they consume. Both hosts celebrate Mad Honey, co-authored by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan, as a blueprint where a cis writer shared the pen with a trans collaborator, allowing lived expertise to shape every page. The duo ends w...

White Women Wake UpPeace at Any Price? Rewriting Our Family’s Bias ScriptsEpisode 35 explores the roots of bias inside our households. Jonelle opens with eye-opening research: babies only exposed to their own race 90 percent of the time start favoring faces like theirs by six to nine months, and children aged five to twelve already show a pro-white bias on implicit tests. The hosts note that just one ten-minute, color-conscious conversation with a parent can reduce anti-Black bias in kids by 61 percent. Building on those figures, Karen and Jonelle scrutinize their family scripts (the “peace at any price” kindness motto and the belief that hard work always equals success), showing how such narr...

White Women Wake UpBelieve First: Trusting Lived Experience Over Comfort BiasIn this episode, Karen and Jonelle step into the awkward pause that follows the question, “Are you sure?” They dissect why white women often doubt a friend’s painful account, tracing the habit to quick-fire heuristics. Proximity bias trusts stories that sound like our own. Authority bias treats doctors, pastors, and headlines as default truth. Comfort bias protects the worldview we already like. The hosts introduce philosopher Miranda Fricker’s idea of epistemic injustice to show how these reflexes silence Black, disabled, and trans voices in courts, hospitals, and boardrooms. Through personal confessions—including Karen’s admission of writing off a friend...

White Women Wake UpEcho Chamber Check: Algorithms, Bias, and Your FeedIn this episode, Karen and Jonelle dive into the hidden power of echo chambers on social media. They compare their own TikTok feeds to reveal how algorithms quietly reinforce race, age, and ideology, even when we think we are curating diverse voices. The hosts unpack how recommendation systems favor anger, diet culture, and other triggers that keep users scrolling, and how that constant reinforcement shapes beliefs, voting habits, and personal relationships. Moving beyond abstract ethics, they examine the real-life impact on white women’s perspective and explore small, practical steps for breaking free: auditing who you follow, intentionally adding di...

White Women Wake UpDecolonizing Daily HabitsIn this episode, Karen and Jonelle move beyond theory to confront how a colonial mindset shows up in choices. They define the colonial mindset as believing resources exist for our claiming, elevating Western norms, and embedding hierarchies of power that erase other histories. Recognizing that giving away property overnight is unrealistic, they explore smaller on-ramps: widening whose stories they consume, questioning scarcity scripts, and sharing space and goods more generously. Examples surface from dismantling dams on the Klamath River to community land trusts that keep neighborhoods in local hands, illustrating how power can be redistributed without waiting for perfect...

White Women Wake UpWhen the Majority Feels Marginalized: Unpacking Reverse DiscriminationIn Episode 31, Jonelle and Karen zero in on the surge of reverse discrimination claims and why they differ fundamentally from racism. They start by defining racism as prejudice backed by systemic power—something only the dominant group can wield—and contrast it with discrimination, which any individual or group can experience. Drawing on a recent Supreme Court ruling under Title VII that lets any employee allege unfair treatment without extra proof, they explore how white-majority workers now invoke reverse discrimination when diversity gains seem to threaten their opportunities. Through examples—from pizza-party scarcity experi...

White Women Wake UpMoving Beyond Me: The Language of IndividualismAfter a brief conversation about how cultural backgrounds influence trauma responses, Karen and Jonelle dive into the concept of individualism as a defining feature of American society. They explore how an overemphasis on personal autonomy—evidenced by the United States scoring 91 on Hofstede’s individualism index—can foster colorblindness, political polarization, and a disconnect from collective wellbeing. Using examples from pandemic-era community efforts, public policy debates and marketing’s shift from mass consumerism to algorithmic personalization, they reveal how hyper-individual appeals shape our beliefs and behaviors. Through candid personal anecdotes and research insights, the hosts challenge listeners to identify moments...

Cultural Clashes, Friendship Friction, and the Cost of Centering OurselvesIn this episode, Karen and Jonelle explore the emotional terrain of being triggered and the deeper layers of trauma shaped by culture, history, and identity.

From parking disputes with neighbors to friendship breakdowns and unintentional exclusion, they reflect on how centering our perspective can deepen division rather than build understanding. They also discuss inherited behaviors, shame spirals, and the unspoken trauma many white women carry, while highlighting how a “traveler’s mindset” can help us move through discomfort with curiosity instead of def...

Drawing on their own faith journeys, they explore why so many white women see church‑run government as “values‑based” leadership, how U.S. history warned against that fusion, and why countries that entwine religion and state so often curtail education, civil liberties, and women’s rights.

White Women Wake UpTears, Boundaries, and Toxic Positivity: Unpacking Emotional WhitenessWhat does it mean to be “too much” in a world that tells you to quiet down? In this episode, Karen and Jonelle wrestle with emotional regulation, not as a healthy coping skill, but as a tool shaped by white supremacy culture. They explore how white norms have defined what counts as “appropriate” emotion, from the weaponization of white women’s tears to the silencing of grief, passion, and neurodiverse expression. Through personal stories—from navigating neurodiversity in their family to cultural experiences of communal mourning—they expose how “calm” often means “comfortable for whiteness.” The episode also dives into toxic positivity...
