The AWE Experience

The AWE Experience podcast is a space for reflection, truth-telling, and transformation. Centered on rest as a pathway to justice, this podcast amplifies the voices of women across Oregon who are navigating systems not designed for their thriving. Through conversations grounded in our theory of change, we explore lived experience, community wisdom, and the conditions required for lasting change. Each episode invites listeners to slow down, listen deeply, and imagine what becomes possible when rest is honored, not as a reward or luxury, but as a right.

Hosted By Libra Forde - Executive Director of the Women's Foundation of Oregon
Produced by DSTRCT9 Creative Solutions

The Women’s Foundation of Oregon believes that rest is resistance and a requirement for true justice. The first episode of the AWE Experience podcast dives into all things rest. Who are you when you are rested and what does it feel like to you? We get into it with the incredible Executive Director of For All Families Oregon, Candice Williams who shares her lived experience, historical perspective and insight into rest from a women’s perspective. Candice was a guest at our inaugural AWE Experience for Nonprofit Leaders and shares some of her thoughts about collective power, taking time for yourself and the power of the collective to do things differently. We invite you to take a break and join us.
