S1 E11: How internalized patriarchy constrains our authentic embodiment.

Welcome to Episode 11 where Eileen and Jess continue the exploration of reclaiming our creativity and acknowledge how patriarchal roles have a complicated impact on our self-expression. In this episode Eileen and Jess attempt to unravel the layered feelings, sensations, and stories surrounding the question, "How does our conditioning surrounding the binary cause inequitable disruption of our self-expression, self-confidence, and self-acceptance?"

They intimately share stories of choosing themselves over societal expectations, challenging the notion of waiting to be chosen.

Jessica delves into the continuous unfolding of her identity as a creatrix and how she has journeyed beyond the binary. She openly shares her fertility journey and how it shook her sense of self. The conversation bravely explores sensitive themes of despair, loss, miscarriage, and suicidal ideation, offering a space for genuine connection and understanding. Eileen reflects on a profound quote by Carl Jung that sheds light on the burden placed on children whose parents have not fully lived their own lives. This quote serves as a catalyst for both Eileen and Jess to delve deeper into the impact of parental limitations on a child's ability to express themselves fully.

Join us in this transformative journey as they navigate these complex structures in order to breathe life into their creative expression.
