Hey Reader!

It's Susie here, and I've got some exciting updates to share with you all as we head into the summer months.

As you may have heard on today’s podcast episode, Raising Boys in a Patriarchal Society, this will be the last full episode of Rebel Mothers before I take a break for summer! I’ll release another short episode next week to let listeners know what I’ll be up to this summer, but I wanted to let you all know first.

First things first, I'm thrilled to announce that next week will mark the beginning of an exciting journey for me: I've been accepted into a 6-month executive coaching certification program with the Gestalt International Study Center. This opportunity will not only enhance my coaching skills but also bring me one step closer to becoming a Level 2 ICF certified coach.

Many of you are familiar with my MotherBLOOM coaching program, which was born out of my master’s degree capstone project. While I'm super proud of the program's content, I've felt a calling to expand my impact beyond individual coaching sessions. That's why I've decided to pivot towards offering coaching and consulting services to corporations, with a focus on creating inclusive workplaces that support women and mothers. 🎉

This decision has been brewing for some time, it combines my professional background as a workplace consultant and my experiences as a motherhood scholar and coach. It's a natural evolution that really aligns perfectly with my mission to advocate for gender equity and societal change.

Now, I know you might be wondering about the future of the Rebel Mothers podcast. While I'll be taking a break, I'm not saying goodbye just yet! I may release a few additional episodes during the summer, so stay tuned. In the meantime, all past episodes will remain available for you to catch up on.

So, while I won’t be releasing any episodes over the summer, we can still stay connected! I’ll still be sending the occasional newsletter with updates on my coaching certification process. And of course, you can follow me on Instagram @susie.fishleder for behind-the-scenes glimpses and mom-life musings.

Matricentric feminism, which is a huge theme of the Rebel Mothers podcast, centers on the experiences, perspectives, and voices of mothers within the broader feminist movement. In this episode, Susie discusses the definition of matricentric feminism, its importance in academia, public policy, and motherhood, as well as its pioneers and contemporary scholars.
