Unmasking Ourselves: Fear, Violence, and Building Safe Communities

About this episode

This special sneak peek episode offers a glimpse of what’s coming to Feminist Founders in 2025 as Faith Clarke officially joins Becky Mollenkamp as a partner. Together, they share their honest, behind-the-scenes thoughts about their new partnership, how they’re building this business collaboratively, and the real-time challenges and insights at the intersection of business and feminism.

In this episode, Becky and Faith dig deep into:

• How violence—against ourselves and others—shows up in subtle ways in our businesses, often rooted in fear and conditioning.
• The importance of unmasking, being witnessed, and doing this work in community rather than alone.
• How capitalist norms and power identities can perpetuate harm in our workspaces, even when we’re trying to challenge them.
• What it looks like to tend to ourselves and each other as we strive to build businesses that prioritize safety, love, and collective wisdom.

This is just the beginning of many conversations like this. Starting in 2025, paid subscribers will get access to monthly private podcast episodes where Becky and Faith share real-time reflections, tough questions, and behind-the-scenes details about their partnership and business journey.
