Episode 02: Confidence After the Body You Knew with Moss Arati

What happens when your body changes in a way you never asked for, and you have to learn how to live inside it again?In this episode of Unposed, I’m joined by Moss Arati, a burlesque performer, pole dancer, and aerial artist whose work blends power, comedy, sensuality, and pure presence. But before she ever stepped onstage, Moss survived a devastating car accident that broke her back and forced her to relearn how to walk, move, and trust her body again.We talk about injury, recovery, and the quiet grief that comes with realizing your body will never move the same way, and how sensuality, joy, and creativity can still exist on the other side of that. We talk about listening to your body instead of punishing it, finding movement that feels joyful, letting yourself be seen even when things aren’t perfect, and why whimsy might actually be essential to healing.This conversation is honest, funny, tender, and deeply human. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, pressured to “bounce back,” or unsure how to feel confident again after something changed you, this one’s for you.Keep the whimsy.Content note: This episode includes discussion of a serious car accident and medical trauma, suicidal ideation, chronic pain, and strong language, as well as candid talk about bodily functions.
