Welcome to the WANTcast:
The Women Against Negative Talk Podcast

Lessons In Moving Forward Fearlessly + Spreading The (Good) Word

The WANTcast is a podcast that helps you live the life you’re meant to lead by shifting around your negative talk patterns. Through a combination of solo episodes and deep-dive conversations, the WANTcast helps you shift your self-talk in a real, lasting way and navigate the full spectrum of who you are, so you can “move forward fearlessly, spread the good word, and be the You you know you’re meant to be.”  

Since our launch in 2015, we’ve featured authors, speakers, producers, activists, actors, non-profit founders, healing practitioners, mental health experts, and more. Our community is vibrant, our guests are visionary, and our discussions are rooted in the small shifts that make the world of a difference.
