Boudoir Talk

Monika Kozub

Boudoir Talk is a podcast where women share their stories. Created by Monika Kozub, artist and feminist, founder of Berlin Boudoir - a project dedicated to showing women's beauty and power. "I've always felt women's voices are not present enough in public discourse, so I created this podcast - a space where women's stories can be heard. Women like you and me, ordinary and extraordinary at the same time. I will interview inspiring women I met in my life, but also give a chance to bring up the ones from previous generations." I will talk about: - relationships with people, and the ones we have with our bodies - female sexuality and eroticism - why it is important to reveal your inner goddess - our passions, things that help us get out of bed each morning - being a woman at work and female entrepreneurship - motherhood in its both wonderful and hard aspects - self-love and how to take care of ourselves, both physically and mentally.

    07 Unpolished motherhood and the permission to experience pleasure - an interview with Alena

    #7 Unpolished motherhood and the permission to experience pleasure - an interview with Alena My friend Alena Grahn decided to share with you her intimate journey through motherhood and discovering herself anew. We're bombarded by images of picture-perfect moms and seemingly no-problem experience of giving a birth to a new human being. Alena shares her personal perspective on that and then we dive deep into the topic of finding balance between being a mother and being a woman, allowing yourself to experience pleasure and "reclaiming" your p***y. Even though it may seem like an episode for moms only - please don't get discouraged, we promise no baby talk. We share thoughts important for any woman - with or without children. Book mentioned by Alena: Regena Thomashauer "P***y: A Reclamation"

    03 Three Black Female Photographers

    #3 Black Female Photographers An episode I recorded May 6, 2020 in the heat of protests for racial equality worldwide. I realized that even though I never considered myself a racist, I also never pursued learning and reading more about inspiring black female artists.
