#10: Love, But Make It Liberated -Dating With Eyes Wide Open
What happens when love meets labor? In this episode, we dig into philosopher Amelia Valcárcel’s powerful framing of love as not just an emotion but a political practice. From who remembers the birthdays to who gets to fall apart without judgment, we explore how feminism doesn’t ruin intimacy, it redefines it.
Expect sharp observations, passive-aggressive compromises, and the radical act of loving with your eyes wide open. If you’ve ever been the “strong one” or the “overthinker” in a relationship... this one's for you.

#9: The Silent Radical - How Gabrielle Suchon Lived on Her Own Terms
In a world that gave women two options - marriage or the convent - 17th-century philosopher Gabrielle Suchon quietly said, “Neither, thanks.” In this episode, we explore Suchon’s groundbreaking argument for a third way: a life of study, independence, and dignity, freely chosen by women on their own terms. Long before modern feminism had a name, Suchon insisted that women are capable of reason, entitled to freedom, and deserve authority over their own lives.
But this isn’t just history, it’s invitation. We reflect on how Suchon’s ideas still echo today, especially in the subtle, intuitive feminist act of opting out: of expectations, of roles, of lives chosen by others. This episode is for anyone who’s ever taken the road less commented on - and wondered if that, too, could be called resistance.

#8: Rage Is Sacred - Reclaiming the Anger Women Were Taught to Fear
You’ve been told to calm down. To not take it personally. To smile more.
But what if anger - that hot, gut-deep “this is not okay” - is the moment you’re finally telling the truth?
In this episode, we flip the script on rage. We explore how anger isn’t a sign you’ve lost control - it’s a signal that something matters. Drawing on feminist thinkers like Audre Lorde and bell hooks, we’ll reframe rage as intuitive data, not a personal defect.
You’ll walk away with a fresh understanding of how sacred - yes, sacred - your anger actually is.

#7: Empaths Aren’t Weak But Their Boundaries Usually Are
In this sharp, self-aware episode of The Noetic Feminist, we untangle the messy myth of the “super-empath.” Being sensitive doesn’t make you fragile - it just means you need better boundaries. Through a story involving a crystal burrito, a shamanic workshop gone emotionally sideways, and some clear feminist philosophy, we explore how the idea of how oneness can become a trap that erases personal limits. With humor, clarity, and a side of academic rigor, this episode shows why real compassion requires distance, not absorption.
By the end, you’ll have a short, practical ritual to separate your feelings from everyone else’s (no aura scrubbing necessary).

#6: Art of One's Own - Virginia Woolf and Patriarchy's Takeover of Our Creativity
Our creativity is medicine. It's sacred and it's power, and yet often without us noticing patriarchy gets its hands on it not only telling us what counts as beautiful, what's too angry, what's just too much, but by seeping into our lives in such a way as to make us create things that are about our oppression or trauma instead of what's in our hearts.
That's how it gets into our creativity without us knowing, here's a deeper thought that really stings a little - there are greater stories we might tell if we weren't busy surviving and calling out our traumas or abuses. Whole forms of art we haven't invented yet because so much of our time as women or any oppressed minority goes to tending the bruises that we have.

#5 My Feminism Is... The 10-Word Truth That Changes Everything
This episode moves beyond academic theory to explore the deeply personal and lived definitions of feminism. Host Dr. Victoria Lynn Schmidt argues that the movement's true power lies not in textbooks, but in the "Aha! moments"—the everyday injustices that forge a person's commitment to equity. It tackles the resistance many feel toward the label ("angry," "man-hater") and emphasizes the absolute necessity personal feminism that fights for the liberation of all women and benefits all genders by breaking traditional norms. The episode challenges listeners to distill their own belief system into a 10-word truth, and most importantly, to align that truth with concrete action by defining and enforcing a personal boundary in their life.

#4: The Intuition Reset - How to Stop Soothing Everyone and Start Leading Yourself
In this episode of 'The Noetic Feminist' with Dr. Victoria Lynn Schmidt, we delve into the concept of feminine intuition and its exploitation in society. Dr. Schmidt discusses the concept of benevolent sexism, where women's intuition is celebrated only when it serves others, and explores the notion of feminist economics and the value of unpaid emotional labor.
She introduces the 'compass flip' technique to help women prioritize their own wellbeing over the collective comfort of others. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, Dr. Schmidt encourages women to reclaim their intuition as a powerful resource for self-governance and radical self-preservation.

#3: Choosing an Intuitive Worldview: Living as Energy First, Matter Second
Today's pattern to break is treating intuition as a last resort instead of a first input. What changes when you assume reality is made of patterns of energy your body can read in real time just about as easily as your eyes can read text? Intuition stops acting like a hunch and starts behaving like data because we live in energy first and matter second.

#2: The Noetic Feminist’s Guide to Intuition: Stop Outsourcing Your Knowing
This 1st Intuition episode dives into a revolutionary idea: your so-called "feelings" are not melodrama—they're high-level, somatic data. We explore how the modern performance culture, often rooted in patriarchal norms, pushes us to outsource our internal knowing to spreadsheets, policies, and confident external authorities. Using a blend of cognitive science and feminist analysis, we reclaim intuition as Feminist Practice—a calm, impeccably practical form of internal governance informed by lived experience and evidence. Through personal anecdotes (including a spectacular "dream" collaboration that went sideways), we show how ignoring the subtle cues from your nervous system results in a tax on your energy and self-respect. Learn to identify the difference between true discernment and biases like fear or flattery, and discover why treating your gut feeling as a scientific hypothesis is the key to stepping out of chaos and into self-command. This is about making decisions not from stress, but from integrity.
