PART TWOOOOO BINSHES!!! Too juicy to do one. In this episode, I sit with Ximena again for Part II of our conversation on eros, power, and what it really means to be fully alive in your, YOUR body.

We go into the myth of Lilith and Eve, why women’s desire has been treated as dangerous for thousands of years, fantasy novels as portals for reclaiming sensual power, and how witches, grandmothers, and “too much” women were historically punished for knowing too much and feeling too deeply. 

We also explore capitalism’s invisible pact with women’s bodies, the difference between reclaiming power with others vs. climbing into patriarchal power over others, and why pleasure is political, ecological, and revolutionary.

UGH! 

We talk about:

🦢 Lilith, Eve, the apple, and why “seeing the unseen” has always been punished in women

🦢  Witches, grandmothers, and the way women who know the earth get exiled and called crazy

🦢  The capitalist pact between productive work and reproductive labor (and how women’s bodies got drafted into it)

🦢  Fantasy novels, fairy smut, and why women are flocking back to sensual worlds written by women

🦢  Pleasure as a measure of freedom, and how systems profit from us being numbed out and exhausted

🦢  Power vs. patriarchal power: hierarchy, pedestals, and why some “feminine power” spaces still feel masculine

🦢  The body as first land: sovereignty over our flesh, our boundaries, our pleasure, and our aliveness

🦢 Eros as life force, present-moment pleasure vs. performing an optimized self

This is a conversation about women, yes—but really it’s about every human who’s tired of being OPTIMIZED and controlled, and is ready to remember that feeling deeply is not a liability. It’s the revolution baby!!!!

Hope you LOVE Ximena as much as I do bc I'm joining her ROOTED IMPACT group and so should youuuu!
