    02 - Shy Girl? Mysterious Girl? Or Self-Sabotage?

    This episode is dear to me because not only do I have experience with the "shy/mysterious girl" idea setting me back, but so many other women do too. What/who is a mysterious girl? Is it necessarily bad to maintain some level of mystery? I explore what this means, how it can be a destructive tool, a tool of the patriarchy, and why we need to stop placing so much value on social media ideas. Today's substance-filled question - "Are you maintaining mystery? Or are you stifling your creative?" Also, we have new socials!

    The Erotic as Power - A Conversation Between Values, Intuition and Our Daily Lives.

    In her essay, Uses of the Erotic - The Erotic As Power, Audre Lorde describes the erotic as "a resource within each of us that lies in a deeply female and spiritual plane, firmly rooted in the power of our unexpressed or unrecognized feeling." This episode explores that concept and I explain the erotic as a conversation between our intuition, values, and our daily lives. Do these reflect one another? Is there a disconnect? If so, how do we reconnect and get to a place where we are living our fullest, most capable lives? As we step into 2024, what areas of your life need introspection? Listen for guidance.
