#14 Good Girls Don't Embrace The Sacred Prostitute

September 15, 2019 19:00 - 1 hour - 67.6 MB

Women the world over are pushed and pulled between two opposing ideas of who we must be: the Saintly Mother, or the Whore. The expectations and pressures of both run deep inside all of us and permeate our cultures regardless of language, religion or politics. For centuries, we've been torn between both opposing identities and now in the modern world women are finally, in some corners of the world, able to be much more than a Saintly Mother or Whore. She can be both, she can be more - s...

#13 Good Girls Don't Embrace Their Bleed

September 08, 2019 19:00 - 1 hour - 74 MB

Why is there so much shame around our periods? Why do our periods seem like a burden, something that diminishes us and our ability to function in the world instead of being a source of empowerment? In today's world of self-empowerment, our periods are still used to control, and negate a female's sense of self, especially in disconnecting her from her body. This was such a fabulous and educational conversation about menstruation, and how to work with our hormones instead of against them. We...

Sometimes it's the small things we deny ourselves that have the biggest ripples throughout our lives. At least, that's what happened for our guest this week, Shilpa Agarwal, when she kept denying herself the permission and freedom to go for a simple jog. We sat down with Shilpa to talk about what it means to be worthy, to be enough - and the hard, painful things that get in the way of our embodying it. The truths this powerful speaks ripple out across all the parts of our lives from profe...

August 25, 2019 19:00 - 1 hour - 68 MB

Society seems obsessed with being skinny and perfect. But while getting skinny isn’t going to get you #instafamous, the fear of ‘fat’ can limit us to staying small and living off the scraps of love and worthiness (including paychecks).

Women are told since childhood not to take up too much space. Whether we’re told to ‘don’t be too smart’, or that we talk too much, or that being ‘big’ is bad and we all have to be thin and skinny, women are constantly exposed to these subliminal messages that we shouldn't take up too much space. So how does this affect us in business, whether we’re entrepreneurs or vying for a position on the board? What stops us from taking up space in the business world and getting more vocal and more ...

We all understand that porn, and the porn industry, creates a lot of negative messages around sex and women, but how many of us really take a moment to understand or realize the negative impacts porn has on our boys and men? With research showing that the average age of boys being introduced to porn is 11years old and that 93% of men under 18 years have watched porn, shouldn’t we be concerned with the effects porn has on males?
