OK Freak Friends!

I got to talk to literally one of my favorite feminists of all time—Jenn Armbrust of Sister—for this Freak Flag episode. I came across Jenn years ago (2016?), probably on social media, and I was in love from the start. I have all of her books, and her mini-poster “12 Principles for Prototyping A Feminist Business” is taped up in my workspace. She is a true visionary, and I am PSYCHED to bring you today’s episode!

🎥 {to watch the video version of this episode, go here}

Jenn Armbrust is the founder of Sister and a leader in the field of feminist entrepreneurship.

Jenn holds a degree in critical theory, which includes feminist theory, and has a background in entrepreneurship for over two decades, in the sectors of art, business and feminism.

Since launching Feminist Business School in 2015, she has taught over 500 students and authored 3 books, Proposals for the Feminine Economy, The Business Birthing Handbook, and Feminist Flourishing Framework.


Quick Sketch Show Notes:

  • the story of how Jenn and Kathleen ended up here on the mic together!

  • the movement from patterns of dis-ease to ones of ease and harmony, and what that really means for us as humans

  • dismantling systems of dis-ease within our bodies helps dismantle them slowly at scale

  • the harmony of ease and webs of interconnection

  • an embodied politics and feminism, a “feminism of the flesh”

  • what we lose and lose access to in survival mode, physiologically as well as spiritually

  • the spiritual and imaginal economy necessary to build a system that is beyond the binary of “capitalism” or “socialism”

  • the quest to embody ones’s own power and place as part of the collective experience

  • the economy of our imaginations

  • the pivotal shift for Jenn from treating her body, to training her brain

  • Brain re-training similar to the one she did

  • Jenn’s orientation that we need each other

  • fixing our feminist gaze on flourishing

  • AND MORE YUMMINESS!
