Claiming Pleasure with Malika

Claiming Pleasure is a podcast dedicated to helping people own their inherent right to pleasure, playfulness, and healing — not as luxuries, but as essential parts of being human. It is called Claiming Pleasure, not Reclaiming, because many people have never had the opportunity to experience genuine pleasure, ease, or play in their lives. This podcast is a space for those people — and for anyone ready to explore what it means to welcome joy, curiosity, and self-connection back into their bodies, relationships, and everyday lives.The purpose of this podcast is to soften shame and guilt, invite curiosity, and open pathways to self-trust and self-celebration. It aims to help listeners remember that pleasure is not something they need to earn, prove, or justify — it is their birthright.
