Redefining Us
This podcast is all about redefining what it means to be a woman in today's culture where women are breaking those glass ceilings and coming into their own. In this podcast we will be exploring womanhood in all its facets, including sexual desire, parenthood, relationships with one another, pregnancy, postpartum, our relationships with our bodies, the media, and more. So if you're like me and want to learn, grow, heal and break those freaking ceilings please tune in and join the conversation ladies.
Tune in every other week to hear our guests and myself share information about mental health, their personal stories and other interesting topics that relate to being a woman.
Your host Stephanie Konter-O’Hara is a mom, an entrepreneur, a therapist, a woman that enjoys exploring new things and ways of thinking.
