Khadija And MaryEp. 29 The KEY to Finding Your Unique PathIn the Anonymous Soul community I teach women that when they have designed a life that is specific to them then they will have way less difficulty fighting their beauty blocks, i.e. the messages they are constantly receiving from the outside world that tells them that they are not good enough and that they need to spend the bulk of their energy fixing themselves. When you have a path that you designed for yourself it is clear to see what does and does not serve that journey. But how do you go about crafting that unique...2021-08-1710 min

Khadija And MaryEp. 27 How to Protect Your BubbleIf you've been listening to this podcast for a while you know that I am BIG on preserving your energy for what matters most to you. I believe that women get a lot of messages thrown at them around how they should be spending their time and most of those messages tell women to spend their time on how they look. I am aiming to change that with my business Anonymous Souls and with this podcast. Today I want to take just a brief moment to let you know how I can help you protect your...2021-07-2019 min
Khadija And MaryEp. 26 The Nordic Theory of Everything (Part 2)Following up on our last episode we are coming to you with part 2 of our discussion of this very important book. This week we're talking health insurance. This is a huge topic in our country but we wanted to offer a different perspective around universal health care - an idea that we have not heard anyone talking about here in our country. As always we are not trying to change your opinion as much as we are trying to introduce new aspects and give you something ELSE to talk about. Let us know your thoughts...2021-07-131h 12
Khadija And MaryEp. 25 The Nordic Theory of Everything (Part 1)Finally finally finally. You've heard us mention this book way too many times in recent podcast episodes and finally the day has come for us to give you this book review. We felt like this book which gives a fresh perspective on the way we live in America compared to the way they live in the Nordic countries is very aligned with some of the ideas we suggest on this podcast and so we had to discuss it with all of you. WE've broken the discussion up into two episodes with two different focuses in...2021-07-061h 15
Khadija And MaryTripping All Over Our PrivilegeMary and I have a lot of strong feelings about what women should and should not spend their energy caring about but a lot of our statements are a direct result of the privileges both of us bring to the conversation. SO before we get too far into this podcast we thought it would be only prudent and responsible of us to have an episode where we call out our own privileges that make it possible for us to think the way we think and have the discussions we have. We never want to speak...2021-06-2246 min
Khadija And MaryHairWe straighten it. We curl it. We try to control the frizz. We try to add shine. We want body but not too much body. And on and on and on. Where does it end? When are we happy? What is the ultimate goal here? The amount of energy women spend on hair is unbelievable and today Mary and I want to dig into this topic in the only way we know how in an effort to just start the discussion of could we maybe minimize how much energy we spend on...2021-06-081h 10
Khadija And MaryEp. 22 ReparationsAs you know, Mary and I like to sit around discussing the important topics that we think could change the world and make it a better place. We refuse to waste any more of our energy on things like: the latest diet or fashion trend and how to make ourselves conform to society's current beauty standard. We call those beauty blocks. AND we have set out to encourage you to shift your energy away from beauty blocks and onto more important topics like today's topic - Reparations. What does America owe the descendants of slaves? How can we...2021-06-041h 05
Khadija And MaryEp. 21 ClothesIn the Anonymous Soul community we identify 5 major beauty blocks that plague women THE MOST and Clothing is one of them. On today's episode we talk about the massive amount of energy that women spend on deciding what to wear each day and how our internal dialogue about how we look is affected by the fashion industry and beauty culture. We also explored how the pandemic and being quarantined for a year has affected our "rules" about clothing and whether or not things will change permanently. It was a fun conversation that could obviously go on for hours...2021-05-2556 min
Khadija And MaryEp. 20 Mary Is AngryWhat started off as general chat before we got to our episode ended up being the entire episode because Mary got so worked up that we ended up having a very important discussion about racism, and journalism, and a lot of other things that it was hard to title this one but in general the theme of the hour was "Mary is Angry" so that's what we called it. Mary, who rarely uses the term "angry" to describe her emotional state these days, did in fact get very angry today. Find out what got her all...2021-05-181h 06
Khadija And MaryEp. 19 Comparing and Competing (Part 2)Here is part of two of our conversation on comparing and competing. It started off with a focus on competing but once again we realized that comparing came into play so much in the conversation that it was better to join the two conversations and call it a part 1 and part 2. We think this episode talks more about competing but you may disagree. The point is, we believe that both topics need to be discussed and women need to check themselves on both of these energy-sucking habits. Enjoy the episode!2021-05-111h 19
Khadija And MaryEp. 18 Comparing and Competing (Part 1)We started this episode off with a plan to talk about Comparing and why women feel the need to constantly compare themselves to each other. We knew that the topic of Competing would come up as the two are linked but we didn't realize how much until we listened to the replay. And so, what we ended up doing was connecting our "comparing" episode with our "competing" episode and embracing the strong links between the two by doing a Part 1 and Part 2. I hope you enjoy and I hope that we offer some helpful tips...2021-05-041h 10
Khadija And MaryEp. 17 Why Did I Get Married?So of course we can't talk about why we had babies and not talk about the all important question - why do people get married? Especially in today's age when there isn't as much or a moral stigma around people living together without being married. Has the rate of marriage gone down? What are people's motivation for getting married? We get into all our own theories and a few statistics but of course if you don't hear your own reason in our list, please leave us a comment and let us know why you decide to or decided...2021-04-271h 01
Khadija And MaryEp. 16 Why Do We Have Babies?With all this talk about what it means to be a woman who works and has a family and all the inequities our society has built into that dynamic, of course it brought us to the question - why do we have babies in the first place? What is it that makes adult human beings want to intentionally raise children? Is it pressure from society that this is something we MUST do? Is it family legacy desires? Issues of feeling our own mortality? We talk about all this and more on this episode. If we don't mention...2021-04-2051 min
Khadija And MaryEp. 15 Another Woman's Perspective (Interview w/Jyl)Our very first interview! Yay! When we dreamed of this podcast we envisioned getting new and interesting conversations started amongst all women. We hoped that we would spark some lively debates about topics that we don't feel women speak enough about. BUT - we are not saying that our opinions on these topics are the only opinions to have, quite the contrary. To us, there is not necessarily a right or wrong on these subjects but simply that these subjects are not talked about enough. And so one of our goals is to get...2021-04-1359 min
Khadija And MaryEp. 14 We Are All HypocritesMary and I have been wondering if everything we've been saying on this podcast makes us big ole hypocrites? Is it possible to live into adulthood and not become a hypocrite at some point? It occurred to us that actually our hypocrisies highlight the dynamic complexity of the types of conversations we are encouraging women to engage in. Indeed our hypocrisies need to be a part of the conversations. Therefore, we decided before we get too far into this podcast adventure to call ourselves out on our own bullshit just so that it's out...2021-04-0658 min
Khadija And MaryEp. 13 Thank you, It's TrueWhy do we as women have so much trouble accepting compliments? Why do we look for compliments and then have such trouble accepting them once we get them?

It is also the topic that Mary and I feel the most strongly about and have the biggest opinions about. Why are women still changing their last names when they get married? Why are we holding on to a tradition that was part of a larger tradition that we do not participate in. Why did this one thing survive the dismantle of all of those older, outdated traditions. What does it mean to the feminist movement at-large when women are still...2021-03-0955 minKhadija And MaryEp. 9 - Amy Schumer and Beauty BlocksAmy Schumer said a thing on Instagram that sparked an very interesting conversation between Mary and me. It shined a light on all of our conflicting beauty blocks and asked the big question - Who has the right to say "I don't care about my looks."

But what if we flipped that societal norm on its head and asked the question - what's too early? Is there a such thing as too early and why? On this episode, Mary and I explore the possibility of having kids super early on purpose and what that would mean for the woman and more importantly, what would we as a society have to change to make that the social norm? ...2021-02-1637 minKhadija And MaryEp. 6 - What Do We Owe The Next Generation?Do we, as women, owe the next generation anything OR do we have the right to make our life choices solely to please ourselves?
