Season 1 (Part 2) | Episode 6: The Memory In Our Bones

☎️ Episode 6: The Memory In Our BonesWhat if the moment that silenced you became the one that shaped your power?What happens when the earliest version of you, the one who was three, terrified, unseen, and taught to “be a good girl” grows up and starts talking back?This week, we sit with Michelle Maulette-Evans (Aunty Mixch) a healer, storyteller, an absolute powerhouse and birthday girl, as she brings us into the memory that shaped her body, her voice, and her lifelong way of navigating systems that were never built with her in mind.Aunty Mixch brings us into the hospital room from the perspective of her three-year-old self. To the masked faces and harsh voices, where she was told to be calm, compliant and to be a “good girl”. Left wondering and confused at a time when she was in desperate need of her Mother’s presence and touch. Aunty Mixch shares with us how that moment, instead of silencing her, sparked a lifelong superpower. The ability to gather her many selves, negotiate with her body, and to choose celebration over oppression.Together, we unpack:* The immigrant “good girl” conditioning that follows us into adulthood, motherhood, and medical rooms.* How early memories live in the body and reappear as protectors, tricksters, and guides.* What it means to grow up without the luxury of questioning and how reclaiming voice becomes an act of liberation.* The complicated tenderness of mothering, being mothered, and mothering our mothers.* Why cultural memory, ancestral rhythm, and the stories in our bones matter when Western systems fail to listen.This episode is a tender and fierce reminder that even when the world tries to quiet you, your body will keep speaking. Even when you’re small, you know what you need and even when you’ve been shackled, you can still dance.💌 Subscribe for stories from the margins, the mothers, the misfits, and the hysterical, and join the movement reclaiming our bodies, our stories, and our power.Listen now → 🎙️ Episode 6: The Memory In Our Bones(Available wherever you get your podcasts.)Disclaimer:Hysteria Hotline is for listening, laughing, and occasionally raging, not for medical advice.
