live it to give it is all about love and connection. Being authentic. Living our lives and sharing it with others. Life is messy and so is this blog. Somedays my organized coach self shows up. Other days it's my vulnerable author. There's a mom that lives inside me alongside a wife, friend, social justice activist, creative muse, ponderer extraordinaire, and multitude of others. I'll introduce you to people who inspire me and offer a peek into my world that very likely intersects with your world. In other words, I will share life in its full, glorious mess with you. I'm honored you're here and I hope you'll come back soon!!  Cheers! Kayce

Exploring Patriarchy in a Wounded and Wounding World

by Kayce Stevens Hughlett

excerpt from my full guest blog post for Rose Madrid Swetmen. Click here for full piece. 

These are the tactics of patriarchy—shame and fear, power over, toxic women supporting rule of the father, then claiming it can’t be discrimination because the supporter is female. Let’s not forget calling women crazy or saying they’re a witch for using intuition (like I received on the beach) or for practicing alternative healing methods—Reiki, artmaking as healing, understanding the cycles of the feminine moon. Remember those stern faces of my ancestors? I’m relatively certain they are the faces of angry women. Women tamped down, taught to be smaller, told to stand still and look pretty. We are told to stay in our place. That is the work of patriarchy. We are learning scientifically that that ‘work’ is genetically passed down.
