106: Who Owns Our Body?

from Sex Love Psychedelics · host Dr. Cat Meyer

Women have been fighting for ownership of their bodies for centuries, and as far as we’ve come with our rights, we are still having arguments about who gets to decide what we do with our bodies. ⁣ ⁣ In this episode I talk about the recent events happening in the political stratosphere around women’s reproductive rights, the body terrorism that we each contribute in criticism to our own bodies + that of other sisters, the cultural wounding of powerlessness represented in the case of Britney Spears, and how I believe we can continue to make progress in reclaiming the rights of our bodies by devoting time to develop loving relationships around our bodies + around sensuality.⁣ ⁣ This is the first episode of a special 5 part sensuality series.
