In this episode of Every Womyn & Her Dog, we take you inside And She Rose (a 2-day immersive experience for women), and unpack what’s actually happening beneath the surface.

Because on paper, it’s conversation, reflection, and guided work.
But in reality… it’s something far deeper.

In This Episode, We Explore:

•  What “holding space” actually means — and how it shows up inside And She Rose
•  What women feel when they enter a well-held space (and why that matters) 
•  The difference between surface-level events and spaces that create real change 
•  What isn’t a well-held space — and how to recognise the difference 
•  What shifts internally for women across the two-day experience 
•  Why women arrive feeling stuck, disconnected, or “off” — and what changes 
•  The role of safety, structure, and facilitation in creating transformation 
•  What And She Rose really is — beyond a workshop or program description 
•  Readiness — how to know if you’re being called into this kind of space 

Key Takeaways

•  A well-held space isn’t accidental — it’s intentionally created 
•  Transformation happens when women feel safe enough to drop in, not perform 
•  The depth of your experience is often connected to your readiness to receive 
•  Not all spaces are designed for real change — discernment matters 
• And She Rose isn’t just something you attend — it’s something you experience

Featured Guests

• Joanne Lea — Coach, Therapist & Change Maker 
• Katelyn Dwyer-Taylor — Taylor Made Digital Support 
• Nat Fel — NLP Coach & Co-Facilitator of And She Rose

If This Resonated

If you felt something shift while listening — that quiet yes, that curiosity, that pull…

You’re not alone.

And She Rose is one of the spaces where women come to explore exactly that.

A space to:

•  reconnect with themselves 
•  unpack what’s been sitting beneath the surface 
•  and step into a deeper sense of identity 

And for those wanting more personalised support, Jo also works with women inside her Embodied Womyn 1:1 container.

Women’s cyclical nature — beyond menstruation. Energy, seasons, and phases of becoming.

In this episode of Every Womyn & Her Dog, Jo is joined by Katelyn Dwyer-Taylor for a deeper conversation about something that quietly shapes the way women experience life — our cyclical nature.

While many people reduce female cycles to menstruation, this conversation explores something much broader: the energetic and identity cycles women move through across their lives.

From the archetypal seasons of Maiden, Mother, Maga, and Crone, to the expansion and contraction that appears in business, relationships, identity, and personal growth, women are constantly evolving through seasons of becoming.

But modern culture still expects us to operate like machines — consistent, productive, and always moving forward.

So what happens when women ignore the season they’re in?

Jo and Katelyn unpack the pressure to stay in “summer energy,” the cost of resisting natural cycles, and how learning to recognise your current season can bring a deeper sense of alignment, clarity, and self-trust.

This episode is a powerful reminder that women are not inconsistent, we are cyclical.

In This Episode We Explore

• What Jo means by “the cycle within the cycle”
• The archetypal seasons of Maiden, Mother, Maga, and Crone
• Why women are conditioned to value constant productivity
• The cultural pressure to remain in “summer energy” year-round
• How burnout can be a signal that we are resisting a natural season
• Expansion vs contraction in business, relationships, and identity
• The power of recognising when a season in your life is changing

Today, Jo is joined by Katelyn Dwyer-Taylor, Kristy Lees, and Carissa Skrinnikoff to unpack a phrase we hear constantly:

“You need to do the work.”

But what does that actually mean?

Is it therapy? Journaling? Awareness? Accountability?
 Or something deeper?

This conversation is real, reflective, and at times… a little calling-ourselves-out. Because that’s often where the growth lives.

🐾 Meet the Womyin in the Room

Your Host, Joanne Lea — Women’s change maker, coach, therapist facilitator, and founder of many programs such as And She Rose and And She Thrives. Jo creates grounded, intelligent spaces for women to unpack identity, conditioning, cycles, leadership, reclaim feminine knowledge and the woman behind the role.

Her work blends therapeutic tools & coaching, intuition development, deep reflection and therapeutic tools with lived integration, supporting women to move from awareness into embodied self-leadership.

Katelyn Dwyer-Taylor — Founder of Taylor Made Digital Support, mum of two girls, and the behind-the-scenes support helping bring Joanne Lea’s work to life.

Carissa Skrinnikoff — Co Founder of Gorilla Energy, mum of four, leading in business and at home while navigating ambition and the juggle of both.

(Fun fact — Carissa is also the reason this podcast has its name after once saying “every woman and her dog needs Jo.” And we ran with it.)

This episode explores awareness vs integration, growth without shame, and what “doing the work” really looks like in real life.
