feeling unhinged?? GOOD. this episode is all about unhinged female characters ~ and we why we're completely obsessed with them. whether you see Amy Dunne as a feminist icon or a psychopathic villain (or both???), we're here to unpack what it is about characters like her that makes us so captivated. *hint: your level of captivation may coincide with the amount of female rage stored in your body*.

in this episode, I'm joined by my most special guest yet, my darling mum and registered psychotherapist, Jeffi Farquharson. in perfect alignment with our iconic conversational style we've coined as "snack night", we're jumping all over the place in this one! join us as we explore the reality of generation gaps in learning, the gender playfulness of dress-up boxes, backyard bra-burning, informing our intuition, and the magic of naps.

welcome back to another week of The Lily Pod! <3 in this week's episode, we're here to dissect the ~potentially problematic~ aspects of today's culture of sex positivity. we're questioning how dominating social norms of sexuality serve to disempower us from our individual agency, dissecting the impacts of purity & hookup culture, taking into account the nuances of personal experience in regards to gender, sexuality, and desire, and ultimately arguing why we should all be pro pleasure!

i'm joined this week with El (@fey.fatale on ig), a queer Pākehā Tangata Tiriti activist from Aotearoa (New Zealand) who's here to talk with me about the personal and political components of fashion. we're covering topics such as how to liberate ourselves through style expression, the interconnectedness of fashion and queer identity, & the history of gendered fashion as a colonial tool for reinforcing hierarchy.

welcome back to The Lily Pod! <3 here we are, starting off season 2 with a good old fashioned discussion about gender, desire, and validation. here to unpack the baggage of identity curation rooted in the desire for male validation, we're starting off the new year with big questions about what it means to be feminine, how this is shaped by gender segregation, and society's obsession with pinning women against each other. cozy up and get ready to ask yourself if you even know who you are outside of gendered categories.

this episode is revisiting everyone's fav topic of discussion ~the male gaze~ ! we'll be chatting about the internalized male gaze in the context of the panopticon; how they operate as similar systems of power, why they're so effective, and how we might(?) be able to escape them(????).

this episode is an introduction to the concept of compulsory heterosexuality as defined by Adrienne Rich (1980). we'll be diving into the deep end of heteropatriarchy, exploring how it shapes our relationships, our decisions, our sex lives, and our understandings of queerness. from chatting about childhood crushes, to internalized homophobia, to the infamous 'Am I a Lesbian' masterdoc, this ep is here to guide you in questioning whether your choices are intentional or compulsory.
