Rissa Miller is a folklorist, speaker, herbalist, public historian, diviner, and, as we learn in this episode, a passionate poet who brings wisdom, warmth, and a rebellious spirit that a Bitch will love. This raw, honest talk evolves from self-betrayal — the shrinking of ourselves to make others comfortable, the struggle between kindness toward others and loyalty to yourself, or wondering how to find sovereignty when your priorities are focused on others’ needs — to healing in your journey by tapping into an identity you possess but shamed or cursed, if you show it.

We dive deep into the powerful, and often polarizing, word “BITCH,” exploring how it can be reclaimed as a source of women’s empowerment. Rissa takes the lead in helping us unpack our five principles behind B.I.T.C.H: Betrayal, Identity, Trust, Change, and Healing.

Rissa is a master storyteller who shares examples of how women can reclaim their innate strength, sensuality, and unapologetic presence. This conversation will remind and inspire you to fill your own cup, trust your gut, and live your most authentic self, sequins and all.
