Cliterally Speaking is an inviting and engaging podcast sparking long-form conversations over a bottle of wine.
Laugh, cry, reflect, and learn alongside Michelle and Emily!
We are excited to share our latest drop of Cliterally Speaking the Podcast. These headlines give you glimpse into our conversation, where we laughed our fury away, and celebrate Michelle’s freedom to love and be loved. Our wine review is particularly unique in this episode 😜. Sit back, grab a glass and join the conversation!
“Take a Sip” is not only an offer to join our latest conversation with a delicious libation, but it is also the title of the latest episode, featuring Meredith Barry, award-winning mixologist and Drink Masters reality TV show contestant, entrepreneur, and all-around incredible person. During our conversation we dive into Meredith’s amazing journey in the world of tasty spirits, from the early days of bartending, to navigating misogynistic dynamics behind the bar, to competing in the enthralling Netflix’s TV series Drink Masters, alongside owning innovative restaurants.
We also hear about struggles being “dis-missed” in the healthcare industry while experiencing extraordinary pain, and the discovery once she found the right doctor/surgeon. We are thankful Meredith is thriving, heathly, and sharing her drink mastery and . If you haven’t seen Drink Masters, check it out, it will give you a taste 👅 of Meredith’s extraordinary creativity and talent. Cheers!
A shared post from a friend you all love the hear from. Thank you Nikki Jauer Reynolds for the reminder.
Wishing you many blessings in the new year! Cheers to 2024!!! 🥂✨
Wishing you, your family, and friends the most joyous holiday. May it be complete with love and laughter.

Michelle and Emily welcome friend Laura Dwyer to the podcast. Laura had approached Emily about discussing the generational differences in the movement. Over a lovely bottle of white wine - Chateau de Corcelles Beaujolais Blanc - the three of them do a deep dive into how much things have changed and how much things haven't changed.
Laura asked Emily and Michelle: What would you do differently if there were no men in the world?
Sleep with windows open? Jog late at night? Quit wearing makeup? How would you answer that question? Let us know in the comments.
They also discussed and recommended reading the book "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin de Becker.

After resting with this episode for a few weeks, we are excited to share it. Why did we rest on it? Well, because the impact of toxic friendships can be traumatic, heartbreaking and leave you feeling nervous and afraid. For this very reason, it is time to share this episode on “Toxic Friendships” as we know we aren’t the only ones who have had to wrestle through the emotions of these challenging relationships.
To tackle this conversation we welcome back our friend who offered sage advice in a previous episode, on setting healthy boundaries in relationships. It may not be always easy to identify whether you have a pearl of a friendship or just plain “sea trash” 👎 as noted in the episode 😂, but in this conversation we talk about signals to watch out for in identifying a toxic friend. We also discuss how to manage crummy positions that arise when dealing with these personalities.
Join this conversation among friends as we discuss these real life situations. You can catch it anywhere you get your podcasts.
If you have advice or insights on how you have successfully managed identifying and/or dealing with toxic relationships, please share in comments!
This is how Emily and Michelle looked when Ashley Trout of Brook and Bull Cellars in Walla Walla, WA told them during her episode that 8 am was the best time to drink wine. Her explanation was that our palates hadn’t been “compromised” yet by food etc.
Here’s the episode. It’s an oldie but chock full of goodies 😁😁🍷🍷😁😁

In the heart of Pride Month, the weekend of Father’s Day….and the birthday of our guest, Jeff Bender…we are excited to share this inspirational episode “Apparel Has No Gender.”
You may wonder why this former wine shop owner would give it all up, walk away from being surrounded by hundreds of bottles of wine each day, to launch a new venture. What could be better than wine! Well, in this episode you will learn that Jeff has a much more powerful purpose in life. Advocating for transgender people, especially through sharing education and creating clothing that that helps children not only feel comfortable in their own skin, but celebrated, is Jeff’s role as founder of The Lion and the Owl.
As a father of a transgender child, he saw a great need to create a better world, share compassion, and create much needed solutions. Now on the cusp of launching a kickstarter, we couldn’t wait to help share more behind the story of this amazing company, and vision.
Happy Mother’s Day! Wishing our mothers a beautiful day full of love, laughter, and wine.
Michelle and Emily welcome two-time Emmy award-winning news producer and filmmaker, Hollie Brubaker, to the podcast. After a brief discussion on what exactly is Lychee, they jump into a fascinating and engaging discussion about Hollie's short film, "But You'd Be a Great Mom!". Hollie shares her intimate, personal journey through fertility treatments to trying to become a foster parent, to accepting and embracing her life without children. They talk about how society perception of women as only being true, whole women when they have children.
They explore the pitfalls of medical science in infertility treatment and how people feel they HAVE to do it because it is available. Hollie shares a list of physical and emotional pains that people often experience during treatment and the pressure of it's all worth it because you have to do everything to have a baby.
They talk about the expectations society puts on women regarding having children and how scary it is to walk the path that differs from the expectations.
As Hollie says, "There is so much beauty in the world, that we get to be a part of in life and how dare we look at others and say I want that instead of looking at our own lives and relishing in what is beautiful about our lives."
They wrap the episode taking stock of what is beautiful in their lives. Send us an email of what you find beautiful in your life! [email protected]

Go ahead, grab a bottle, try to pronounce it….and see what conversation unfolds 💗 🍷

As we move into the new year, it’s a good time to set intentions to “further reveal” more of yourself (not to be mistaken by a reinvention of yourself) to live the life you not only want, but are designed for.
The latest episode is perfect conversation prepare us for 2023 as we explore the power of mindfulness with Deanna Danger, who has evolved from burlesque producer, to activist, to coach. Deanna, not so dangerously walks us through how their divine rage, patience, acceptance, meditation, agency, body positivity, and letting go, lead to empowerment.

We have a tremendous episode for you! Masha Alyokhina from @pussyriot joined us in studio while in St. Louis for their astounding show, Riot Days. During our conversation we talked about the performance art that landed Masha in prison in Russia, her experience inside, and her absolute resilience in finding strength to stand up for women’s rights, even in the coldest and darkest times. Now, living outside of Russia, Pussy Riot is on tour, telling their story, through art and music, while harnessing powerful themes of exposing the truth behind the rise of dictatorship in Russia, the importance of feminism, and their support of Ukraine. Our conversation was so rich, and time ran out all too quickly with this incredible person, so we have not just one episode, but two, to share behind the scenes highlights. Special thank you to Susan Barrett of @bb_projects for arranging the opportunity for us to meet Masha and the brave women of Pussy Riot.
For Women's History Month Michelle and Emily share their choices for most inspirational women. In addition they talk about Online Romance Scams - how to spot the red flags and avoid becoming the con's next victim. All this while drinking a lovely Brut, the Diver.
Remember that song, “Jack and Diane” and the famous lyric “holding on to 16 as long as you can”...well...we think it’s outdated...several years so 😉. We happen to love mid-life and feel it is time to update this perspective! Join us tomorrow for our Time of the Month Live Show as we dive into this very idea, and explore other fun topics such as GREEN flags for a relationship. 8-9pm cst, FB, IG and YouTube. #timeofthemonth #midlifestyle #midliferocks #liveshow #cliterallyspeakingpodcast #greenflag #relationshipdos
