Speaking of Phenomenal | Journalism for Women and Gender-Expansive Voices

Speaking of Phenomenal is an independent podcast covering women and gender-expansive people mainstream media hasn't found yet. Host Amy Boyle, a multimedia journalist and adjunct lecturer in photojournalism and visual storytelling at Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, reports longform narrative conversations with women and gender-expansive people doing significant work the news cycle has yet to document. The work began in 2018 as the 52 Phenomenal Women Project, a portrait storytelling series that produced 104 reported profiles and was covered by the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Reader and NBC5. The podcast launched in October 2020 as the audio extension of that journalism. Now in its sixth season, with 65 episodes and counting, Speaking of Phenomenal has reached 100 countries and 782 cities. Every person you'll hear has a story the world should know. And they sound like this. www.speakingofphenomenal.com. Support the show via our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/u25038150

Kishori Koch

At her core, Kishori is a beauty hunter and holistic well-being seeker inspired by and passionate about nourishing all the senses with beauty and deliciousness. The container of her work is woven with love and mindful presence, and she is curious about the constant transformation that is life: the unfolding, the unlearning, the healing, and the remembering of what it means to be human. Holistic Well Being and mindfulness have been the foundations of her healing journey of mind, body, and heart.
She thrives in setting and holding healing space for others. Her own mindfulness journey began in 1992, when she found herself immersed in the beauty and deliciousness of Italy. The healing tools that serve as her pillars are yoga asana, meditation and food. This journey continues to teach her that change begins with ourselves. We cannot change other people, but we can change ourselves and be an inspiring example of positive transformation in the world.
