About This Podcast
Feed the Matriarchy is a sister-led podcast serving up real talk about food, body image, parenting, and feminist rebellion—while amplifying matriarchal voices across the spectrum. Each week, we unpack the ways diet culture and patriarchy have shaped our relationship with our bodies, our choices, and our worth, while highlighting the groundbreaking ways women are holding families, communities, and culture together—and changing them for the better. Through conversations with women and changemakers from many lived experiences, we explore what it means to truly nourish ourselves: not just with food, but with rest, pleasure, connection, courage, and truth.
