Shut Up + Listen Ep. 8 : Small Town Feminism with Jess Kaczmarczyk | Show Transcript + Notes

Shut Up and Listen hosted by Hope Alcocer. A 15-minute podcast with your weekly dose of inspiration + insight.

This week Hope is back chatting with a mutual friend from her small town in Michigan, Jess Kaczmarczyk. Jess is a fully licensed social worker who focuses on helping young women. We discuss growing up as a feminist in a small town, finding your voice, and what advice you would give to your younger self with what you know now.

The Happy Birthday To Me, when I talked about Ryan and I. Yes, it’s definitely done. We have both moved on in case anybody was wondering or stalking my Instagram.

I can’t remember who told me this, but it stuck with me even though I’m not a Harry Potter fan, they were like, “We are like a Phoenix. We will rise again.” I don’t know what that means, but it sounds very regal and strong and great. So we’re like phoenixes. Anyway.

HOPE:
Yeah. This is episode eight. This is exciting. We’ve had this list of guests we’ve been waiting to interview and we’re going to actually start…
