Wise Not WitheredSeason 4 - Episode 11 - Interview with Helen WHello, Happy New Year! And welcome to the Wise Not Withered podcast. We are on Season 4, and this is episode number 11. Today’s guest is Helen W. I found her on Instagram. Her username is 50_over_and_beautiful. And I really loved the vibe of her profile, just so colorful, she looks so happy. Lots of modeling, clothes and food and drinks, and all kinds of different places that she has traveled to. There’s a lot of different performances where she has sung. And she talks about all of those things in our interview. She is truly a citi...2024-02-021h 06
The Mix’d MovementHealing the Internalized Guilt with Michelle PanToday’s guest, Michelle, is half white, half Filipino. She never felt like she truly connected culturally with either side of her heritage. There wasn’t much of her Filipino heritage present growing up, so she feels quite disconnected from it, but she has always felt drawn to Asian music and art.In this episode, we will discuss Michelle's racial background, her experiences growing up mixed race, her connection to her Filipino culture, and her journey in music therapy. We will also talk about the challenges she faced and the impact of her family dynamics on her iden...2023-10-2749 minWise Not WitheredSeason 4 - Episode 4 - Interview with Rosie KuhnWelcome to the Wise Not Withered podcast!

Hello and welcome to Week 25 of the Wise Not Withered Character Showcase! Today I am thrilled to present the LAST character of the project: Cassika, our 86-year-old Mermaid Queen!! Cassika's writer is Jumleni, from New York, and her illustrator is Marina, from Egypt!
I found Jumleni on Instagram, while searching for some kind of hashtags about poetry. Her words grabbed at me and I was so excited when she responded positively to my cold DM inviting her onto the project.
And Marina was one of the very...2021-12-3109 minWise Not WitheredSuper-Mom – FARAHWelcome to Week 24 of the Wise Not Withered Character Showcase! This week I am happy to introduce Farah, our 45-year-old Super-Mom! Farah is a school teacher, and a struggling widowed mother of two, dealing with depression and insomnia. I thought it would be interesting for Farah’s superpowers to develop in her middle age, rather than in her teen years or twenties—again, we are trying to break the mold of a woman’s “prime” being only in her child-rearing years. Many of the amazing wise women in this project are purposely childless; I thought it was of utmost importance...2021-12-2004 minWise Not WitheredSinging Therapist – BEATRICE
Hello and welcome to Week 23 of the Wise Not Withered Character Showcase! This week we are introducing Beatrice, our 45-year-old Singing Therapist! The writer for this character, Agatha, was actually the only one to reach out to me to join the project, which was pretty interesting from a creator's standpoint. I haven't done much at all in terms of promotion, so it was cool that someone somehow found out about the project and reached out.
Beatrice's character development was, as I mentioned in last week's episode, a joint effort by Agatha and me...2021-12-1308 minWise Not WitheredIndependent Nurse – KAYA RAYWelcome to Week 22 of the Wise Not Withered Character Showcase! Today I'm excited to present Kaya Ray, our 50-year-old Independent Nurse! Kaya Ray is actually one of just three characters in the Wise Not Withered project whose concept I did not originally come up with myself—two others are amalgamations of the writer's and my ideas (Tsalo-Sesha from Week 7, and the Singing Therapist, who is yet to come), but Kaya Ray's concept and story is not mine to claim.

Welcome to Week 21 of the Wise Not Withered Character Showcase! This week I'm thrilled to present Valeria, our 56-year-old Apocalyptic CEO! Valeria is the chief executive officer of a tech company, and finds herself in the middle of a mysterious apocalyptic situation. Her story is most definitely one that is suited for a video game; one of the very first ideas I had with this character is that it would be an unconventional top-down kind of progression. Her office as the CEO would be on the top floor, and she would have to make her way down t...2021-09-3026 minWise Not WitheredDancer – YANTIFull transcription available on WiseNotWithered.com:

She and next week's guest were two of the activity leaders at the retreat, and they led extremely powerful and healing rituals with our small group. I was thrilled when Scarlett agreed to be interviewed, and I hope you feel inspired by her story.
