Episode 4: We Are Inherently Good — Reclaiming Power Through Self-Compassion**
In this powerful and soul-searching episode of Pleasure & Power Recoded, co-hosts Lucy Hutchings Hunt and Elizabeth Gilmore unpack the deeply ingrained belief that humans are inherently bad — a narrative long perpetuated by religious, societal, and cultural conditioning. Together, they challenge this distortion by affirming the truth of our innate goodness, and explore how shame and judgment — especially self-judgment — often manifest as judgment of others.
Through intimate stories, vulnerable reflection, and energetic truths, Lucy and Elizabeth dive into themes of spiritual evolution, emotional projection, co-parenting dynamics, and the alchemy of turning pain into power. They reflect on moments of judgment, healing from divorce, navigating political and social triggers, and the energetic shifts that occur when we stop trying to fix others and begin meeting our own wounds with love.
This episode is an invitation to soften — to look at ourselves and others through the lens of compassion, and to reclaim our power by remembering who we truly are: divine, creative, and inherently good.
