Power became the crucial factor in understanding my occupation as muse. Musing is foremost an act of creation, and creation is the most formidable act of power. If women are muses, then men are not their artists, but their audience.https://medium.com/@biancavivion/the-danger-of-being-a-muse-757ba3c9c309As the patriarchy grew stronger, credit was no longer given to the nine deities, and the power of creativity was assumed by men. The term ‘muse’ was then transferred to the women whom the artist loved, the artist being almost exclusively male. In the 20th and 21st centuries, the power dynamics between muse and creator were warped so much that it was almost one of the requirements of the muse to be left behind.The creator is always male in these failed attempts, and the woman is often the frail, feminine counterpart that is only revered for her beauty, if revered at all.women who are inclined to situate themselves in culture are persuaded to be contented and elated in the role of the muse, to distract her from the fact that she herself has such a huge capacity to be the creator.https://www.tonitruale.com/post/the-necessary-death-of-the-modern-museSend me a MessageSupport the show

topics discussed in this ep- the sexualisation of sabrina carpenter- alix earle’s recent video- why love hate and jealousy areso similar- trolls- why it’s so hard to have an opinion these days- letting people change in the face of new information- letting people change through the passing of time- why you care so muchSend me a MessageSupport the show

part 1 of a few part series. idk there’s a lot to cover but basically i think so much of being alt or goth these days is so performative and disregards the actual subcultures these aesthetics arose from. like would you do it if you weren’t getting praised for being a goth baddie? that’s not very goth to me. doing thick winged eyeliner and posting it to a deftones song is the new norm i fear. arguably being alt or goth could be the new basic especially when its so surface level. also i think tying yourself to one specific aesthetic or identity is kind of redundant like you are more complex than just your ‘brand’ and wanting to dull yourself into one niche feels like a way to be more digestible which is a really common thing women have been taught to do to make themselves easier for men to like. there’s a difference between personal style based off lived experiences and dressing like every next pinterest board cos it’s trendy to listen to mazzy star and smoke straights again. Send me a MessageSupport the show

the only way i can describe what i mean is you know how birds just sing. they don’t try to be good at it they just do it. imagine if they were trying to be the best some birds would stop because they’d develop insecurities about not being good enough. it sounds fucking stupid. so basically what i’m saying is if you don’t do something just cos ur not the best or don’t think you’re very good you’re fucking stupid. Send me a MessageSupport the show

The law of detachment is rarely explained properly. To me it’s becoming okay with any outcome. Lots of people seem to think it means not caring or pretending something doesn’t matter. If you constantly tell yourself you don’t care surely you will attract careless people or things? I think a lot of people have become okay with being complacent and just expecting things to fall into place for them if they do a few affirmations or drink some moon water. Action is at the core of any form of manifestation and this is something I constantly see being disregarded. There is nothing wrong with going after what you want and potentially experiencing failure as a result of that. It is better to fail and have tried than not try at all. We are hardwired to create things as a species, not just to wait for those things to create themselves. By my logic, if it is true that we attract what we are, I would rather chase and attract people that also want to chase and build something for themselves, than people that just wait around for things to happen to them. Send me a MessageSupport the show

Wanting attention is part of our social nature as humans. However, for many, especially women, it has become tied to our sense of worth. How much attention we get, how much we want, whether we deserve it, and what we do with it when we have it become markers of our morality and class, subject to others' judgment.Recently, I’ve been trying to observe my need for attention without judgment. I’ve noticed it functions like a social battery that ebbs and flows. Instead of judging this need, perhaps it’s better to monitor it.I find that when I crave more attention, it often coincides with feelings of loneliness or a desire to express something important. Unfortunately, wanting attention has been demonized with labels like "attention seeker" or "egoic." We've tied people's worth to their desire for attention, despite it being a natural human mechanism for facilitating diverse interactions. Instead of developing this social skill, we have shamed people into viewing it as a taboo.Send me a MessageSupport the show

I have always found the concept of ‘networking’ a bit weird. It feels inauthentic and I don’t like it. I understand that success and how many people know you are directly correlated, but isn’t there a better way to be successful than telling everyone in the smoking area you’re making a 6 track neo-funk EP and then making everyone listen to it?Send me a MessageSupport the show

I feel like over sharing is a part of learning basic communication but it’s interesting the ways that we overshare in different situations and how it changes our perceptions of people. I also speak a bit about masking and oversharing as a way to relate and how this sometimes has the opposite effect and just makes things weird and awkward. Send me a MessageSupport the show

I genuinely couldn’t tell you what I spoke about in depth here but I will list some bullet points I do apologise. - when old people tell you how hard they had it back in the day- why struggling is unnecessary - how to self soothe and why tantrums as a child are important- no one is responsible for catering to your triggers it is your responsibility to work on them yourself- you can set boundaries about literally anything- consciousness- we all view the same problems with a different lensSend me a MessageSupport the show

Like many other girls, I always tried to fit into the cool girl image of not caring so much, going with the flow and not worrying about what I look like. And then I realised that all of these things do not represent me in the slightest. It does upset me if I break a nail, or if my outfit isn't coming out the way I envisioned it in my head. And with this realisation I decided to lean into it. To begin to put as much time into myself as felt right for me and see how it made me feel. I noticed a drastic shift in my self esteem and confidence, and most importantly I feel so much more authentic within myself.  Like any change, it comes with pushback. If you change something within yourself, your external environment will always shift accordingly and for me it meant a disconnect with people around me who started to mock me or scoff at me for choices that felt better for me. Although the conversation of wanting to look good seems shallow or superficial, for me it had an overwhelmingly big shift on my social circles as I found that the more time I invested into myself, the more firm I was on my boundaries. I also find that the higher standard I hold myself to, the less tolerance I have for other people’s behaviour. Whereas before it was common place to make excuses for friends/family/colleagues, honouring yourself means not allowing the behaviour that isn’t in line with the newest version of you. Send me a MessageSupport the show

Have you ever been in a situation with someone who behaves like they're five years old, operates solely out of their ego and refuses to acknowledge criticism or take any accountability for their bad behaviour? It's jarring.This podcast focuses on the recent series of Love Island and in particular Georgia Steel, who frequently behaves terribly and then when she receives backlash for her behaviour, uses gaslighting and manipulation tactics to either victimise herself or spin the blame onto anyone else, effectively avoiding all accountability. Georgia is a great case study for this podcast to discuss the wider issues that surround this topic of how to deal with being manipulated, different communication tactics that can be used, and how to deal with this over an extended period of time where there is no option to remove yourself from the behaviour (think co-workers or family members.)This podcast aims to decode manipulation tactics, so you can recognise behaviours early, help to set boundaries and build long term resilience.This is in no way an attack on Georgia Steel but simply an observation of a wider pattern of behaviour for self growth purposes. Send me a MessageSupport the show

This podcast centres around the recent media frenzy of Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who has recently been released from prison after killing her mother for years of abuse by munchausen by proxy. I discuss the judgement and praise she is receiving and the many ways this has been replicated throughout recent media scandals in varying degrees of severity (Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard, Selena Gomez vs. Hailey Bieber etc..), and how quick opinions can change and the impact this can have on these public figures. The main takeaway from this is how each situation is relative, regardless of which side of the coin you see and the view you look to take. To Gypsy Rose, prison was her first taste of freedom, showing how skewed her perceptions of life were compared to the average every day person. Can you truly judge someone whose idea of freedom was incarceration?I leave you with this thought; If your life depended on it, would you kill for freedom?Send me a MessageSupport the show

At this time of year I typically begin to reflect on how things have been and how I can change things moving into the coming year. With that comes a lot of self reflection and part of that is acknowledging mistakes made as to not make them again. While this is typically really beneficial to grow and understand flaws in yourself, this can lead to self deprecation and can create more internal struggles than positives taken from self reflection. I struggle a lot with feelings of guilt and criticising myself for things I’ve done in ways I wouldn’t criticise others and I think this is normal.We are our own worst critics and in this podcast I talk about the realisations I’ve had to begin to move away from this narrative and back into the headspace of seeing my mistakes and faults as space to grow, not as detrimental flaws to my character that will never be forgotten. Send me a MessageSupport the show

Here are a list of recent mistakes I’ve been making and what I have done to counter them. I speak about the way that knowing how to be authentic, or knowing when is the right or wrong time to be authentic, in a situation will be accepted by your peers. I think this is a definite struggle for people with ADHD or neurodivergent tendencies. I also touched on the different ways that we tend to set ourselves unrealistic expectations, and how moving from one stage of our life to another can create a confusing mental shift in where we are vs where we should be. It can also be frustrating wanting other people to acknowledge these changes and can lead you to feel like you’re not doing enough if you don’t receive external validation.  Send me a MessageSupport the show
