0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another episode of Iway with Jimmy Ligermel, a podcast against shame.
0:05.0	Happy International Women's Week and Month and Day. I hope you had a nice day when it happened.
0:11.4	I always find it a bit awkward because I hope that we don't need a day soon. That would be ideal for me
0:17.0	because we're being just celebrated and protected and acknowledged every day.
0:23.2	I think that's a wild way, judging from the headlines at the moment.
0:27.4	Anyway, I love you and I hope that you give yourself grace. I hope you give others grace
0:32.5	during this time. I hope it's just a nice reminder for us to remember to celebrate ourselves,
0:38.0	treat ourselves with kindness. Really look at how fucking amazing we are. Given all the shit we have
0:43.4	to go through and I hope you are just treating yourself and nourishing yourself as much as possible.
0:50.7	Just engage in pleasure. I think that's what this time is best for for me. It's just reminding myself

1:27.0	got very intimate. We have similar messages and similar hopes and we write about and talk about
1:33.7	similar things. Now, ordinarily, in a world maybe five, ten years ago, we would be seen as
1:39.4	competition. We would be seen as women who should stay away from each other because we work along
1:46.8	the same line and that is a design of the patriarchy. They know that there is strength in numbers.
1:53.9	They know that if we are divided, we are easier to conquer and easier to ignore. The first thing I
1:59.3	thought when I connected with Tara in the green room of this conference was, oh, she's fucking
2:05.7	fantastic and I want to spread her message to as many people as I can because she knows how to do
