I had done it.   I’d created the thing I had always dreamed of creating: a classroom filled with the crackling, connected, pulsating energy of hundreds, even thousands, of women, standing together in sisterhood – some for the very first time, some as core community members – all instantly bonded.    So why did I feel...

It was 2016, and my new book, P*ssy: A Reclamation, was about to hit shelves.   I could not share the title on Facebook or Instagram without breaking platform rules. Could not write an email with the title in the subject line without it winding up in spam.     I was devastated. How was I...

Here was the sitch: It was the day before I was supposed to be leading a live weekend seminar for 2,000 women at the Javits Center in New York City. And Hillary Clinton had just lost the 2016 election. My staff and I were inconsolable. How were we going to deliver this event – and...

This is what I know: The very first thing there is to do. The very first thing. When devastation happens – it is time to grieve, and rage, and mourn. In community. In sisterhood. (Not ignore, not go numb, no matter how painful.) And that is not easy. What we feel, we can heal. And...

Five years ago, I led a weekend course at the Javits Center for about 2,000 women. I was nervous, I was excited, I was everything and then some. The second day, a woman in the second row asked me a question about the Black Lives Matter movement. And in my privilege, in my unconscious bigotry...

I want to check in with you, with all of us: How’s your energy? Are you bouncing through the day, boundless and joyful? Or slugging it… Getting-it-all-done, but feeling depleted, running on fumes. (Maybe more than others know because you put a smile on it.) I meet a lot of fume-runners. Wanna know why? Because...

Since my New York Times bestselling book, Pussy: A Reclamation, came out last September, the world has been changing rapidly. The week after the book was published, Trump was caught on tape with Billy Bush of Access Hollywood, with his “grab her by the p—y” statement.   Instantly, Pussy went from obscurity, to the front pages...

If I were to drill down to the very bluest part of the flame, the hottest truest mission of The School of Womanly Arts, it’s about feminine leadership. It is my conviction that women are the greatest untapped natural resource on the planet. Feminine leadership is the medicine so desperately required by this world, at...

My first response was “I can’t.” It was November 9th, the results of our election were incredibly fresh, and just three days later, I was to lead the Fall session of The Womanly Arts Experience, with 900 women. I felt wallopped. And I thought to myself, “I cannot do this.” I cannot stand powerfully in front...

Pussy. Don’t mess with her. Or she will take you out. Which is exactly what we are witnessing right now, on the world’s stage, in this election year. Pussy has taken out the Donald. And he still has no idea what hit him. And perhaps never will. Pussy is arguably the most powerful pejorative word...
