Woman Uncaged
In these unfiltered, unedited conversations, Linda Katz and Laura Gates-Lupton get real about what it means to live full, joyous, and meaningful lives in a culture that continues to silence, shrink, and sideline women.
Laura and Linda call out the ways patriarchy disguises systemic problems as personal failings, and they refuse to let women carry that lie alone. They question, illuminate, and lay bare the forces that shape women’s lives, while lifting up the possibility of something different.
With candor, humor, and plenty of personal stories, they invite women to stop hating themselves, reclaim their power, and opt out of the narratives that were never theirs to begin with.

Welcome to Episode 3, Season 2 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! In this episode, Linda speaks with artist and coach Karen Light about Why Creativity Matters (beloved co-host Laura was on vacay while this episode was recorded!).
"Relaxation is the best friend of creativity." - Karen Light
Karen and Linda dive into:
- Creativity and how it often overlaps with being multi passionate
- How Karen defines creativity (hint: it includes, but goes beyond, art)
- Why Karen believes every creative act is a revolutionary act
- What do we receive as individuals and collectively from unleashing our creativity
- How we are enlarged through the PROCESS of creating
- The relationship between creativity and agency, and WHY creativity is crucial as we begin to move out of our Good Girl energy
- Why visuals can help us to dismantle our inner cages
- What if we came into the world naturally wanting to be creative and make art, but it is blocked over time
- Why creativity requires a sense of safety and how do we cultivate that for ourselves and others
- How creativity allows us to meet one another as human beings
- Why creativity isn't always "on" and how to recognize that and step back into a more creative space
