Ep 244. Questionnaire to Oneself ft Naana Mar 09, 2023

Show notes

For this week's episode, we are joined again by the lovely Naana of "Work Bae" Podcast. Together we jump right into our main topic inspired by Audre Lorde's "Questionnaire to Oneself". For 3 days, Naana and Shanti wrote responses in their journals to the prompts. Listen as they share what came up for each of them.
Feel free to begin your own journaling process with these prompts below:

What are the words you do not have yet? [Or, “for what do you not have words, yet?”]

What do you need to say? [List as many things as necessary]

“What are the tyrannies you swallow day by day and attempt to make your own, until you will sicken and die of them, still in silence?” [List as many as necessary today. Then write a new list tomorrow. And the day after.]

If we have been “socialized to respect fear more than our own needs for language and definition”, ask yourself: “What’s the worst that could happen to me if I tell this truth?”* [So, answer this today. And every day.]

Ep 238. Eroticism Should Be Part of Your Self Care Plan Feb 16, 2023

Show notes

This week we deep dive into the erotic with help from the GAWD Esther Perel. Her recent article, Why Eroticism Should Be Part of your Self-Care Plan, helps us define eroticism & guides us on to access & practice it. We then question how we have limited our idea of eroticism & only attached it to sex. In our daily lives, how often do we really prioritize + will the practice of the fullest expression of ourselves? In our daily lives, how often do we really prioritize + will the practice of the fullest expression of ourselves? How often are we looking to someone else, someplace else, work, etc to make us feel alive and well? Join us.
