Episode 12: Sexual Liberation- Taking Our Power Back
This episode briefly discusses how various societies, institutions & men in particular, assign value to women based on “sexual behaviors”.

Episode 11: Trauma Sensitive Way of Life
2020 and 2021 has been overwhelming for most of us, dealing with various types of loss, pain, worry, grief, trauma, mental illnesses, health scares etc. This episode introduces the idea of leading with a trauma sensitive approach with our interpersonal & intra-personal relationships. It also acknowledges that trauma is NOT the new clout term- instead of criticizing that everyone is talking about it, maybe we should view it as less people suffering in silence for various reasons. So many of us are fighting battles we never discuss- lead with kindness. ♥️
