🌟 Star Women Rising

Hosted by Melinda | Part of the Chickology™ Podcast Collective

We grew up on fairytales that told us to wait for rescue — to be quiet, pretty, and patient until our “happily ever after” arrived. But real women don’t live in glass slippers. We rise from the ashes, speak the truth, and create our own magic.

Star Women Rising is where ancient wisdom meets modern awakening. Hosted by Melinda, this podcast tears down the myths that have limited women for generations and lights the fire of remembrance — of who we are, what we carry, and how powerful we’ve always been.

✨ Expect soul-deep conversations, fiery truths, and stories that awaken the light within and above.
✨ Come ready to reclaim your voice, your strength, and your story.

It’s time to stop waiting for a fairytale ending — and start living your rise.

    Where Did the Spark Go? Guiding the Next Generation Back to Their Fire

    What happens when an ordinary interruption turns into a soul-level message?

    In this raw, unscripted episode of Star Women Rising, Melinda shares how a series of everyday frustrations—missed timing, blocked creative flow, family responsibilities, exhaustion, and even a broken box of candles—unexpectedly opened the door to a much deeper realization about the world we’re creating for the generations coming behind us.

    What begins as a behind-the-scenes look at the reality of showing up creatively turns into a powerful reflection on pessimism, lost spark, generational disconnect, and the quiet crisis facing younger generations who no longer see a hopeful path forward. From schools that don’t honor different learning styles, to systems that demand conformity while dimming brilliance, Melinda explores how many children—and adults—are being taught they don’t belong simply because they don’t fit the script.

    This episode weaves together personal stories about parenting, grandparenting, intuition, energy, spirituality, and the responsibility we carry to guide younger souls toward their own fire—without forcing them into outdated systems that no longer serve.

    Inside this conversation:

    • Why creative blocks are sometimes messages, not failures
    • The growing pessimism among younger generations—and why it matters
    • How rigid systems suppress creativity, intelligence, and individuality
    • Parenting outside the “cookie-cutter” model
    • The importance of hope, spark, and energetic responsibility
    • Why guidance matters more now than ever


    This isn’t a polished lecture. It’s a lived reflection. A pause. A reckoning. And a call to do better—for our children, our grandchildren, and ourselves.

    ✨ If something in this episode stirred you, trust it.
    That’s your fire awakening.

  • The Price of Expansion: Choosing Growth When It Costs You Everything
    Jan 5 2026

    The Price of Expansion: Choosing Growth When It Costs You Everything

    Buzzsprout Description

    What happens when you choose expansion—and not everyone can come with you?

    In this deeply reflective episode of Star Women Rising, Melinda explores the often-unspoken cost of spiritual growth. From friendships and family ties to careers, identities, and familiar roles, choosing expansion can mean letting go of what once felt safe, known, and deeply loved.

    Through personal stories, vivid dream symbolism, and hard-earned wisdom, Melinda shares how spiritual awakening doesn’t just open doors—it closes them too. As we follow our intuition, honor our fire, and move forward on our soul’s path, relationships may shift, people may fall away, and loneliness can surface in unexpected ways.

    This episode is for the woman who feels like an outsider in familiar rooms, who senses she’s changing faster than the world around her, and who wonders if the price of growth is worth paying.

    Together, we explore:

    • Why expansion often leads to separation before alignment
    • The grief that comes with spiritual growth—and why it’s part of the process
    • Dream symbolism, intuition, and the language of the soul
    • Letting go of duty, obligation, and old identities
    • Why staying small for others costs far more than expanding for yourself

    This is not a conversation about ego or superiority—it’s about courage, self-trust, and honoring your evolution even when it’s uncomfortable.

    Because the truth is this:
    The cost of expansion can be high—but the cost of abandoning your fire is far greater.

    ✨ If this episode stirred something in you, trust it.
    That’s your fire awakening.

  • Following the Call: Intuition, Healing & the Courage to Leap Without a Map With Erin Corman, MS
    Dec 28 2025

    Episode Title:

    Following the Call: Intuition, Healing & the Courage to Leap Without a Map

    Episode Description:

    In this expansive and soul-stirring episode of Star Women Rising, Melinda is joined by the radiant Erin Corman, MS — yoga studio owner, wellness practitioner, energy worker, spinal energetics facilitator, transformational coach, and author — for a deeply honest conversation about intuition, healing, and answering the call of your soul.

    Erin shares her journey from the structured world of corporate mental health and forensic psychology into holistic wellness, yoga, and embodied healing. Together, Melinda and Erin explore what happens when traditional systems no longer fit, when the body and spirit demand more, and when the universe nudges — or shoves — you toward alignment. From transformative travel experiences in Thailand and Australia to leap-of-faith moments that require trusting intuition over logic, this episode is a powerful reminder that guidance often arrives long before the roadmap does.

    They dive into the importance of slowing down, listening to the body, and reconnecting with intuition through practices like yoga, breathwork, nervous system regulation, and spinal energetics. Erin speaks to the wisdom of embodiment — how true healing happens when we stop overriding our inner signals and start honoring what the body already knows.

    This conversation is for the fire women standing at a crossroads — those who feel the pull toward something deeper, even when the next step feels uncertain. If you’ve ever wrestled with leaving behind what’s familiar, trusting your inner knowing, or reclaiming your power outside of conventional paths, this episode will meet you right where you are.

    Star Women Rising is part of the Chickology Podcast Collective — Real Women. Real Stories. Rising Together.
    If something stirred inside you while listening, trust it. That’s your fire awakening.
