The Power of Sisterhood: Unpacking Institutional Wounds and Crafting Authentic Business Paths

✨ 5 Days Until the Aligned AF Summer Camp Summit! ✨

The countdown is on, creative misfits and wild hearts. I’m over the moon to invite you into a truly restorative and revolutionary experience—the Aligned AF Summer Camp Summit.

This isn't just another online business event—it's a gathering of soul-led visionaries, midlife makers, and anyone yearning to deinstitutionalize their day-to-day rhythms and rekindle the liberating magic of summer camp, all year long.

Welcome, creative misfits and fellow seekers of soft rebellion, to another luminous gathering around the Creative Liberation Campfire. In this heartfelt episode, host Josephine Patricia is joined by Brenda Rigney—coach, community builder, and gentle trailblazer from the Aligned AF community. Together, they invite us into the warm glow of the upcoming Aligned AF Life & Business Summer Camp—a summit designed for women yearning to unravel the rules of institutional life and reclaim their most vibrant, creatively liberated selves.

With playful honesty and nourishing wisdom, Josephine and Brenda explore the tender path of deinstitutionalizing our daily living—inviting us all, especially midlife women and anyone walking the edge of change, to turn away from old stories rooted in patriarchy and hustle, and nurture new ways of being in business, community, and health. Alongside a tapestry of more than thirty voices, we hear about not just entrepreneurship, but the interconnectedness of our personal well-being, relationships, and the generational ripple effect of lifting one another up.

Grounded in presence over perfection, this episode is an invitation to find belonging, experiment gently, and celebrate the unique ways women rise together—from breaking glass ceilings to reimagining everyday abundance. Whether you are longing for a life that feels more like summer camp all year long, or simply wish to hear honest, intergenerational stories of creative liberation, draw near and listen in.

Let’s build a future where your most authentic, intuitive voice has a place at the fire. Settle in—this is a space for you.
