What if the key to reclaiming pleasure starts with reclaiming your body?In this episode, Kayla explores how patriarchal systems have weaponized body shame to keep women distracted, disconnected, and disempowered. She traces the cultural programming many of us absorbed growing up — the mall brands, the impossible beauty standards, the male gaze we internalized — back to predatory systems designed to make us feel unsafe in our own skin.Kayla shares her own moment of reckoning while dancing alone in her kitchen, realizing she was still judging herself through someone else's eyes.
