BROADCASTING FROM THE EDGE. FOR WOMEN ON THE EDGE.
An edgecast is a broadcast – as audio and/or video – of conversations, interviews, and other material from the edges of modern culture for Edgeworkers.
Radically Alive Women (RAW) Edgecast brings you conversations with courageous Women (and some Men) that are taking a stand for radical aliveness. We are broadcasting from and beyond the edge of patriarchy, mapping the way to regenerative cultures that emerge from initiated adult Women and Men collaborating.
This Edgecast is brought to you by Julia Neumann, Annika Korsten, Hannah Abouzahrah and Nicole Hartley Bradford, and is powered by Radically Alive Women, a context for empowering radical aliveness in Women (and also Men).
In support of the creation of this Edgecast, you can become a member or invest by making a donation. Your support helps us to make our episodes widely available for free.
Conversations with courageous women that are taking a stand for radical aliveness. These are leaders inside out.
We are broadcasting from and beyond the edge of patriarchy, mapping the way to a next culture of initiated adult women and men collaborating.
This Edgecast is brought to you by Julia Neumann, Annika Korsten and Hannah Abouzahrah, and is powered by Radically Alive Women, a context for empowering radical aliveness in women.
While men are not the primary focus of this Edgecast, we want the men to thrive, too. You will find some interviews with men also.
Julia Neumann from Radically Alive Women speaks with parenting coach and “Tides” rites-of-passage facilitator Amy Weber and young woman Gabriela Fagundes about mother-daughter relationships, especially the transition of girls into womanhood.
Amy describes navigating the empty nest as a mother and how “Tides” and “Rising Tides” help mothers and daughters renegotiate patterns, create space, and recognise that daughters’ transitions also change mothers’ identities. She shares how community and ritual can help normalise and celebrate menstruation, and support both the daughter’s push for freedom and the mother’s grief and identity shift as she “becomes obsolete” in stages.
Gabriela shares her experience of pushing away, cutting contact, trying to change her mother, and eventually listening and meeting her mother as a woman, emphasising how judging or blaming mothers impacts accepting life.
They discuss generational patterns, dependence, and consciously creating new ways to honour first bleeding.
Practical suggestions include creative expression of feelings for mothers, and daughters writing a four-page love letter to their mothers.
Amy’s and Gabriela’s co-written book on first bleeding is in an open-ended “gestation” process without a deadline.

INSPIRING. ENCOURAGING. EMPOWERING.
We broadcast these conversations to inspire, encourage and empower women to take courage, be their authentic selves, speak up and take bold action at and beyond the edges of mainstream cultures. When women do that, all life thrives.
Our interviews with women that are making an impact are designed to spark women’s innate power: “If she can do it, I can, too – in my own way”. A rising tide of radically alive women lifts the whole world.
The conversations are made available by Julia Neumann, Annika Korsten, Mia Ruby Plum, Estefania Santamaria and Sebastian Plum mainly free-of-charge. The Edgecast is financially supported through a Membership option and donations as investments in this creation.
