Vulnerable Podcast

Rachael Maddox is a trauma resolution educator, coach, and guide who’s helped hundreds of women and men resolve their sexual trauma and reclaim their pleasure, power, and wholeness.

In this episode, I asked Rachael for some advice, on the healing process from experiencing sexual trauma. When we talk about trauma, there is no healing equation to say we’re healed. There isn’t a “one size fits all” answer to this question either. What matters is honouring your journey of healing, and reconnecting with your body and feelings.

The content in this episode can be quite triggering, and so we suggest that you listen in a safe space, and also listen in stages if you need to take a break.

We are so grateful to have @RachaelMaddox on the show and to be able to open up a dialogue for very tough but very necessary conversation. Please connect with us or Rachael should you have any further questions.

Saschan Fearon-Josephs founder of “The womb room” talks to us all about womb healing, which includes and is not limited to: educating and supporting women with reproductive problems, workshops, joining forces with schools and community centres and providing business support to employers who wish to provide a better working environment for women with reproduction problems.

What is endometriosis? “It’s a chronic and debilitating condition that causes painful or heavy periods. It may also lead to infertility, fatigue and bowel and bladder problems. Around 1.5 million women in the UK are currently living with the condition”- www.endometriosis-uk.org

We share our own experiences with our bodies, from painful periods and diagnosis to deciding the range of contraception that’s available and the adverse effects it had. We also discussed Saschan’s experience in a gynaecological ward at the age of 19, and it’s nothing short of shocking. Navigating the dating world alone is a trip, but also having a chronic gynaecological illness makes it that more complex.

This episode is therapy, for those who are fertile, infertile or for those going through health problems. It’s a delicate topic, but we’re so glad to open up this conversation.

As a collective, we should aim to take away shame and guilt. This patriarchal society has conditioned us to keep our stories closed, and out of sight. It’s okay to take a break.

Season 2 is here. We kick off this season with a deep conversation with @rosequartzandrum exploring her experiences with Motherhood and Depression.

She leans into her vulnerability by exploring her experiences with domestic violence, her mental health, guilt and post-natal depression amongst other things. Rachelle uses her platform on social media and her blog, to be honest with her day to experiences with motherhood and create a space for Mother’s who feel as though their style of parenting doesn’t live up to that of Instagram mums.

In this episode, we also introduce our new segment, ‘listener questions,’ where our guest gives advice based on your questions.

Once you’ve listened in, let us know what your key take-aways were? What did you learn? What do you wish we could have covered? Has this inspired any new thinking? Let us know by using the hashtag #vulnerableconversations x

In this episode, spoke to Lucy Sheridan, about White Women and White supremacy. Inspired by Leyla Saad’s blog post, ‘I need to talk to Spiritual White women about race - which was initially brought to my attention via Lucy’s Instagram.

Layla Saad sets the premise of calling ‘white people in’ for these types of conversations instead of ‘calling them out,’ as there is a great deal of learning and healing that can be done.

We talked about;

Complicity within White Supremacy (Keeping it cute and mute)

White Privilege

White women in spiritual work and teaching

Munroe Bergdorf and L’Oreal

The Generational Wound of racism

Diversity

Plus much more

This is a conversation that I have wanted to have forever and so I’m so grateful for Lucy contributing her time to the podcast.

Lucy Sheridan is based in Brighton and is the world’s first and only comparison coach.
