There's a certain kind of conversation that happens when curiosity meets genuine experience, and that's the space where Badass Lady-Folk lives. Guided by Christine Stoddard, this podcast moves beyond simple interviews to explore the layered lives of fascinating women from all walks. You'll hear from artists, thinkers, community builders, and everyday philosophers, each sharing their stories in a way that feels more like a compelling chat with a friend than a formal Q&A. The discussions naturally weave through society and culture, touching on personal journals, creative processes, and even the soundtrack of a life-because music often tells its own part of the story. While the focus is on women's voices and experiences, the themes are universally human, making it a listen for anyone interested in what drives people, what challenges them, and what makes them triumph. Tune in for episodes that are thoughtful, often surprising, and packed with the kind of authentic insight that only comes from honest talk. This is a place where the term "badass" is defined not by a single achievement, but by the unique and resilient paths these individuals carve for themselves.
