The Parts of Womanhood We Don't Talk About: Navigating Postpartum and Motherhood

When Casey Keen became a mother, she expected childbirth to be difficult. What she didn’t expect was birth trauma, postpartum preeclampsia, postpartum anxiety and depression, and a healthcare system that left her searching for answers during one of her most vulnerable seasons. In this episode of She Says It, Casey shares the story that inspired her book, The Alchemy of Motherhood [https://www.alchemyofmotherhood.com], and the advocacy work she now does to support mother's navigating postpartum recovery. We also discuss identity shifts in motherhood, the loss of community support, the pressure to “do it all,” and the importance of creating spaces where women in society can speak honestly about their experiences. Whether you’re a mother, planning to become one, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in women’s health, this conversation offers an important perspective on the realities of modern motherhood and the changes many women hope to see in maternal care.

What If We Love the Future? Finding Your Voice in a World of Technology, Purpose, and Possiblity

In this episode, Madeline sits down with Jen Johnson, founder of Conscious Capital Collective [https://www.instagram.com/c3angels.info/], who left a career in US federal contracting, moved to Costa Rica, and built something completely different: a community rooted in collaboration over competition, purpose over profit, and conscious technology over blind adoption. Her quote, "What if we love the future, what if we get it right," was an unforgettable part of the conversation. The episode dives into what it actually means to use AI ethically (and if you can) as a woman in society. Jen also shares her Conscious Tech Immersion (a three day experience helping founders figure out not just which tools to use but where to draw the line).

Sunday Session: Running for Joy (Even When It's Difficult)

In this Sunday Session of She Says It, host Madeline shares a reflection from a 12K race she ran yesterday in Tacoma, Washington. What started as a strong run along the water quickly turned into a mental and physical challenge when she hit a steep hill that even experienced runners were walking. Determined to keep running, she pushed until her body asked for something different, and in that moment, she had to confront what it means to keep going, what it means to pause, and whether either of those things means quitting at all. This episode is for you if you need to learn how to stay present in hard moments. It’s also about training for a half marathon, listening to your body, and finding unexpected moments of joy in the middle of effort, discomfort, and doubt. Madeline is the founder of MadlyCreative, where she works with women in society building brands, stories, and creative direction rooted in clarity and voice.
