Some stories don't get told. Not because they aren't true but because no one made room for them.

YINtentions makes room.

Women from all walks of life, all ages, all experiences - sharing what their bodies know, remember, and carry. Unresolved. Unpolished. True.

We don't fix anything here. We don't prescribe. We simply are with.

If that calls to you, welcome.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep.06 with Cynthia Hansen - She Built Belonging from Scratch
Q: What is it like to balance the sandwich generation—the responsibilities to children and aging parents—while continuing to lead innovative work at a global level?
She describes ongoing plate-spinning, prioritizing urgent needs, and learning to let some things go. The core is maintaining energy for those who matter most, leveraging a supportive partner, and using systems thinking to keep things moving without compromising personal well-being.
Ep.06 with Cynthia Hansen - She Built Belonging from Scratch
Q: So, what do you remember your mother, your grandmother teaching you or not teaching you about being in a woman's body?
Cynthia reflects on a family culture where the body was discussed openly, with a matriarchal influence, and where early exposure to conversations about the body and autonomy shaped her sense of freedom, boundaries, and how she teaches her own children to navigate gendered experiences.
Ep.04 with Anca Damerell - My Body Tells Me a Different Story
Q: Where does it feel like we should go next in terms of care in the workplace and leadership?
The discussion moves toward building a care-first infrastructure in organizations, moving beyond policies to relational practice, and aligning leadership with embodied experiences of employees, particularly women navigating life transitions.
Ep.04 with Anca Damerell - My Body Tells Me a Different Story
Q: What has the experience been like since you were a young girl growing up on the farm, and how has your relationship with your body shifted?
She describes a journey from carefree physical freedom as a child to a period of estrangement from embodied knowing during institutional training, followed by a reclamation of embodied wisdom and a renewed connection to the body's knowledge, especially around menopause and relational care.
Ep.04 with Anca Damerell - My Body Tells Me a Different Story
Q: What do you remember? Your mother, your grandmother teaching you or not teaching you about your body, about being in a woman's body?
Anca reflects on her mother and grandmother as emotional anchors, noting their care and resilience, and how she learned to reconcile gender roles with entrepreneurial spirit while navigating a man's world, which later informs her approach to leadership and care in the workplace.
