Coming Home w/ Rachael Hunt
Rachel Hunt, founder of Freedom School Co. and host of the Cyclebreakers Podcast, joins Amy Pons to discuss reconnecting to Indigenous roots, ancestral healing, manifestation through a trauma-informed lens, and cultural appropriation.Amy and Rachel explore the "collective remembering" happening right now — the magic, intuition, and ancestral wisdom that gets trained out of us as children, and how reclaiming it can reshape our relationship to ourselves and the world. They dig into the power of ancestral land, honoring the places we live even when they aren't our own, and how to engage respectfully with cultures other than our own without appropriating them.The conversation also unpacks the physical and emotional toll of ignoring your calling — from toxic workplaces to health crises — as a catalyst for spiritual awakening, and offers a trauma-informed take on manifestation that goes deeper than "ask, believe, receive." Rachel closes with candid guidance on navigating cultural appropriation in spiritual spaces and staying rooted in authenticity.Whether you're on your own path of reconnection or simply curious about the intersection of trauma, healing, and Indigenous wisdom, this episode offers real, grounded insight into unlocking your own magic.0:00 — Introduction: meet Rachel Hunt, indigenous employee empowerment consultant & Cyclebreakers podcast host1:40 — What the Cyclebreakers podcast amplifies; creating safe space for Indigenous voices3:28 — Unlocking childhood "magic" and reclaiming intuitive gifts after corporate life4:56 — Rachel's reconnection journey to her Indigenous lineage and ancestry7:23 — Honoring the land you live on vs. cultural appropriation10:12 — The power of ancestral land connection and privilege of access14:07 — Why society disconnects us from magic and the "collective remembering"17:28 — Rachel's call from Creator during a ceremony in Tulum, Mexico19:10 — Dark nights of the soul, free will, and destiny/blueprint23:22 — Hitting rock bottom in the body: toxic workplace, illness as awakening27:16 — Overview of Freedom School: Indigenous empowerment, subconscious & somatic reprogramming31:48 — Radical trust in self, somatic intelligence, and intuition34:47 — Rachel's LinkedIn post: "Manifestation is everywhere, and a lot of it misses the point"40:15 — Discerning true desires vs. surface-level wants41:06 — How to avoid cultural appropriation and find authentic spirituality44:25 — Where to find Rachel: LinkedIn, Instagram (@freedomrach), Cyclebreakers Podcast, freedomschool.co45:10 — Closing remarksConnect with Rachel HuntLinkedIn: Rachel HuntInstagram: @freedomrachPodcast: The Cyclebreakers Podcast (new episodes every Thursday — YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts)Website: freedomschool.coConnect with Amy PonsLinkedIn: Amy PonsInstagram: @women_making_moves and utm_magicschoolWebsite: Unlock the MagicWomen Making Moves is for personal use only and general information purposes, the show host cannot guarantee the accuracy of any statements from guests or the sufficiency of the information.

Insourcing Your Peace w/ Trishia Domingo
In this episode of Women Making Moves, host Amy Pons sits down with Trishia Domingo — confidence coach, award-winning model, and multidisciplinary leader — for a deeply personal conversation about identity, healing, and what it really means to feel at peace. Trishia shares how her work as a confidence coach centers on helping people, especially women, reconnect with the "magic" and brilliance that often gets conditioned out of them from childhood onward. The two explore how societal expectations shape girls from infancy, how generational patterns get passed down and challenged, and why the new generations are unlearning inherited beliefs about who they're allowed to be.The conversation turns to Trishia's work with the Eldest Daughters Collective, a racial healing justice organization supporting eldest and only daughters — many of them children of immigrants — who carry disproportionate emotional and logistical responsibility within their families.

HRT's...Where Are We? w/ Elizabeth Kelly
Menopause Care, Misinformation, and Advocacy: Nurse Betsy ReturnsAmy Pons welcomes back repeat guest Elizabeth “Nurse Betsy” Kelly, a board-certified adult geriatric primary care nurse practitioner with extensive ICU/ER experience, work with Doctors Without Borders in Ethiopia and Malawi, and 13 years serving nursing home patients at Sinai Chicago. They discuss rapid changes in midlife women’s health education and access to menopausal hormone treatment, emphasizing that the 2002 WHI study was widely miscommunicated, fueling fear of breast cancer and leaving many boomer women without treatment. Betsy explains that starting menopausal hormone treatment within 10 years of the last period can be protective, that transdermal estrogen reduces clot risks compared with oral forms, and that care is individualized; she notes FDA-approved indications and the lack of coverage and research for testosterone in women. They also address misinformation, holistic approaches alongside Western medicine, key supplements (magnesium, vitamin D, omega-3, L-methylfolate), and close with advocacy concerns about a 2026 federal student loan rule deeming nursing not a professional degree, restricting access to graduate programs.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro01:23 Why Womens Health Matters Now02:35 Why Betsy Is Back04:28 WHI Study and Lost Generation07:34 Modern MHT Benefits17:30 MHT vs HRT Explained22:18 Testosterone and Insurance26:42 Healthy Masculinity and Energy33:12 Holistic Care Meets Medicine36:12 Supplements That Help41:52 Avoiding Wellness Snake Oil43:07 Where to Find Betsy44:18 Final Advocacy CallFind Nurse Betsy on Instagram and Facebook @Stay In Your Cortex, and at https://stayinyourcortex.comThank you for tuning in to Women Making Moves, be sure to rate and subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform and follow along on Instagram and Bluesky.

Reset, Restore, Remember w/ Priyanka Venkataraman
Wayfinding Moms: Conscious Parenting, Cycle-Breaking, and Finding Your Inner CompassHost Amy Pons of Women Making Moves interviews Dr. Priyanka Venkataraman, a board-certified OBGYN, life and parent coach, and founder of Wayfinding Moms, about helping parents understand their nervous systems, break generational patterns, and build emotionally safe homes. They discuss “remembering” an inner truth center/inner compass, leaving mainstream career molds after breaking points, and how grief and discomfort can guide healing and course-correction.

She shares creating “the village,” a monthly community gathering for women, and offering a 12-week group parenting program, and provides her website, wayfindingmoms.com, for calls and registration.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro02:02 Cycle Breaking and Lineage04:22 Remembering Your Path05:35 Inner Compass Wayfinding07:39 Magic School and Truth09:29 Parenting Without the Noise10:18 Truth Center and Alignment13:19 Grief and Course Correcting14:59 Feeling Triggers to Heal16:03 Ignoring the Body in Medicine17:38 Breaking Point and Surrender19:03 Ego After Leaving Work19:57 Remembering What Matters20:32 Earth School Talk With Kid22:59 Wayfinders And Matriarchy23:41 Building The Village26:01 Lighthouse Healing Paradigm27:46 Cycle Breaking And Boundaries34:41 Conscious Parenting Explained38:15 Schooling Choices And Values40:17 Where To Find WayfindingThank you for tuning in to Women Making Moves, be sure to rate and subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform and follow along on Instagram and Bluesky.

The Future of Working Motherhood w/ Alexa Starks
The Future of Working Motherhood: Flexibility, Ambition, and Real Support After Maternity LeaveAmy Pons hosts Alexa Starks, maternity leave coach and founder of Executive Moms, to discuss reshaping maternity leave and return-to-work experiences and the findings from Executive Moms’ Future of Working Motherhood 2026 report. They reflect on the need to deconstruct harmful workplace systems, the lack of support for mothers returning from leave, and how simple supports like mentorship can improve retention. Alexa shares key data: 40% of women leave their job within a year of returning from maternity leave, yet 97% would stay if truly supported; the report also found no “ambition gap,” with mothers reporting equal or greater ambition after having kids. A major takeaway was that flexible work design (remote/hybrid/part-time) mattered more than longer leave. Alexa also previews a TED Talk in Rotterdam and the launch of Mothered Magazine.01:09 Coaching and Paradigm Shift03:02 Aha Moments in Corporate05:22 Maternity Return Support Systems06:48 Report Findings and Retention Stats09:02 Ambition Gap Myth Debunked11:43 Burnout and Hands On Work13:54 Workplace Bullying and Boundaries15:20 Surprising Data on Flexibility16:56 Flexibility Tops Requests17:15 Ambition And The 97 Percent17:52 Survey Logistics And Reach18:34 Return To Office Pushback20:51 Why Leaders Cling To Control22:42 TED Talk And Moving Abroad25:04 Launching Mothered Magazine27:04 Super Bowl Holiday Hypocrisy28:46 Advice For The 97 And 4031:06 Where To Find The Report31:32 Feminine Strength ClosingFind the 2026 'Future of Working Motherhood' report along with key updates from Executive Moms here, and follow Alexa on LinkedIn and Instagram.
