We have always been here.

In every generation.
In every country.

Women.

On October 10, women around the world are being asked to do something beautifully simple:

WEAR RED.

Red for visibility.
Red for solidarity.
Red because women will not be erased, rewritten or made invisible.

We are mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, builders, fighters, artists, athletes, workers, writers, leaders and troublemakers.

We are different in a thousand ways.

And we are united by something that needs no permission to exist.

XX.

This October 10, wear red.

Wear it loudly.
Wear it proudly.
Wear it for yourself.
Wear it for the women beside you.
Wear it for the women who came before us.
Wear it for the girls who will come after us.

Take a photo. Make a video. Tell us why you're wearing red.

Then post it and make women impossible to ignore.

We have always been here.

And we're not disappearing now.❤️ WEAR RED ON OCTOBER 10

Content note: Strong language; childhood cancer, serious family illness and lasting anxiety.The person arguing with you may never change their mind. The woman quietly reading might.

Janet Inglis keeps that woman in mind.

Known on X as @ThatAussieWoman, Janet joins Peeja and Hazel Moon Audio for a conversation that travels well beyond her public posts. There are childhood fruit trees in Bathurst, years of moving around Australia, law studies left unfinished, a business that didn't survive, and a derelict stone house she and her partner rebuilt with their own hands.

At the heart of it is her family. Janet talks about her son's childhood cancer, the strain of living apart during his treatment, and the certainty she never quite recovered. She also remembers the day an unexpected swear word made him laugh in his hospital bed. For a moment, she could feel him relax.

That same candour runs through her account of feminism and speaking up. She explains why Australian legal disputes drew her further into sex-based-rights advocacy, why she shares other women's work so freely, and why she respects the women who need to stay anonymous.

There is gardening, furniture waiting to be repaired, an early ambition to be Marilyn Monroe, and a good deal of swearing. There is also a useful reminder for anyone worn down by online arguments: the reply is sometimes for the people who never join the conversation.

Women have been gathering around kitchen tables forever.

To gossip. To grieve. To argue. To organize. To feed people. To make decisions. To tell stories. To figure things out.

Ours just happens to have WiFi and women logging in from all over the world.

Pull up a chair.

There is no straight line from the person you were to the person you become.

For Nat La Pirate, the road has included growing up between cultures in Quebec, relentless bullying, martial arts, banking, political activism, Anonymous, viral digital campaigns, entrepreneurship, women’s advocacy, artificial intelligence, and eventually helping build The Red Tent Collective.

In this episode of Red Tent Storytellers, Peeja and Hazel Moon Audio finally convince Nat to step out from behind the technology and tell some of her own story.

She talks about the formidable women who raised her, the sentence from Eleanor Roosevelt that saved her adolescent life, the activism that taught her how power and algorithms operate, and the strange path that eventually turned a former banker and political troublemaker into the tech strategist women now call when they have an idea but no clue how to build it.

That path includes everything from launching the original Anonymous Quebec and campaigning against Bill C-51, to confronting her former teacher, then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and asking him directly: What is a woman?

But this episode is also about what comes next.

Nat believes women are standing at another technological inflection point. Artificial intelligence is changing how businesses compete, how information travels, how people are discovered and who gets to build wealth.

Her warning is simple:

Adapt or die.

Not because every woman needs to become a programmer.

Because women cannot afford to self-exclude from the technologies that will shape the next generation.

And if there is one lesson running through Nat's life, it is this:

You can change direction.

You can start again.

You can learn the thing everyone told you wasn't for you.

There is no straight line.

Every chapter matters.

Every woman has a story. We're here to tell it.

History rarely announces itself while it's happening.

Most women who change the course of history never expect to become campaigners, authors, or public figures. They simply arrive at a moment where remaining silent is no longer an option.

In this episode of Red Tent Storytellers, hosts Peeja and Hazel Moon welcome Fiona McAnena, policy expert at Sex Matters and author of Terf Island, for a thoughtful conversation about the women whose courage quietly reshaped one of the defining civil rights movements of our generation.

Fiona shares her journey from Northern Ireland to national advocacy, explains why she felt compelled to write Terf Island, and reflects on the remarkable women whose determination, resilience, and friendship changed history long before most people realized history was being written.

Together they explore activism, safeguarding, free expression, women's sport, preserving collective memory, and why documenting these stories may be just as important as living them.

More than a conversation about a book, this episode is about ordinary women discovering extraordinary courage.

Whether you've followed these events for years or are encountering Fiona's work for the first time, this discussion offers an intimate look behind the headlines and reminds us that history belongs not only to those who hold power, but also to those willing to stand when standing is difficult.

If Fiona McAnena's story resonated with you, the best way to support her work is to continue exploring it.

Her book, Terf Island, documents the remarkable women whose determination, resilience, and courage helped shape one of the defining civil rights movements of our time. It is both a historical record and a deeply human account of ordinary women who found themselves doing extraordinary things.

In this episode of Red Tent Storytellers, hosts Peeja and Hazel Moon Audio welcome Amy E. Sousa (Known Heretic) for a conversation about intuition, resilience, and the life-changing power of trusting yourself.

Long before she became a public voice challenging gender ideology, Amy was a storyteller searching for deeper truths.

Through theatre, psychology, mythology, motherhood, illness, and advocacy, she found herself confronting the same question again and again:

What happens when we ignore our instincts?

Amy shares the experiences that shaped her path, from childhood lessons about fairness and boundaries to navigating the pressures of conformity in artistic and academic spaces. She reflects on the personal and professional costs of speaking unpopular truths, the unexpected moments that pushed her into public advocacy, and why so many women instinctively recognize when something is wrong long before they can fully explain it.

The conversation takes a deeply personal turn as Amy recounts her battle with Stage III breast cancer. Facing mortality forced her to reevaluate everything she believed about fear, embodiment, identity, and what it means to live authentically. What emerged was a profound understanding that our bodies are not obstacles to overcome or problems to solve. They are integral to who we are.

Throughout the episode, Amy explores the importance of boundaries, the danger of outsourcing our judgment to institutions, and the courage required to remain rooted in reality when social pressure demands otherwise.

This is a story about self-trust.

About listening to the quiet voice that refuses to disappear.

About discovering that courage is not fearlessness, but the willingness to act despite fear.

And ultimately, it is about what becomes possible when a woman decides she will no longer betray herself.

Because every woman carries a story worth telling.

Skylar did not find art as a hobby.

She found it as a lifeline.

Content Note: This episode includes strong language and discusses mental health, trauma, and survival. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode of Red Tent Storyteller, Peeja and Hazel Moon Audio sit with Skylar Gwynn as she traces the moment everything shifted. Deep depression. Not functioning. A life narrowing fast. And then, almost by accident, a set of oil paints.

What follows is not a clean artistic journey. It is survival, translated into creation. From learning to paint from nothing, to rejecting rigid instruction, to studying under a mentor who taught her to see what is actually there, not what the mind assumes. Her work grows from realism into something deeper. Not just representation, but presence.

Skylar speaks openly about what art became for her. A way to step outside her own mind. A way to stay. At one point, she is clear about the stakes. It was paint, or it was not making it through.

The conversation moves through scale and process. Massive canvases. Layered color. Painting until something real emerges. But underneath all of it is something else. A relationship between art and something larger. Call it spirit. Call it energy. Call it God. For Skylar, creation is not solitary. It is collaborative. A channel, not just an act.

There is also a cost.

Portrait work becomes too heavy when it is tied to grief. Empathy turns creation into something painful. And so she shifts. Adjusts. Finds another way to keep creating without losing herself in it.

This episode is not about becoming an artist.

It is about what happens when something saves your life.

And what you build from there.
