The episode unfolds as Jess shares her body’s inflammatory response to the release of her voice and the podcast episode. This bodily response allowed her and Eileen to hear and dissolve the toxic stories surrounding "saying too much" and the transformative power of owning and sharing one's truth. The duo opens up about the liberating effect of breaking free from the shackles of secrecy and the privatization of personal experiences, igniting the release of the dormant, compressed energy of silence and long-held secrets.

Now armed with this newfound awareness, the hosts explore the question: How do we do things differently now that we are conscious of this unfolding process?

The conversation circles back to the binary discussion, unraveling the seductive allure of perceiving the world through binary ideas. Through the lens of "in-queery," Jess and Eileen invite listeners to expand their understanding of yin and yang expression and embodiment. They explore the confusion that arises when individuals realize they have choices and agency, emphasizing the power of doing things differently.

The duo reflects on how making alternative choices can be disruptive, not only to individual bodies but also to larger constellations of structures and bodies. The episode serves as a guide to navigating the complexities of choice, agency, and the transformative potential of disrupting established norms.

Join Jess and Eileen as they illuminate the path towards a more conscious and liberated existence, urging listeners to embrace the power of doing things differently in the wake of newfound awareness. It's time to unpack the beliefs, ignite the fire within, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
