Destigmatizing the taboo topics we ALL deal with - w/ Lily GKS
Get ready for a powerful AF episode!
My dear friend Lily and I sat down to openly talk about all the things us women are told to hush, sweep under the rug, and not talk about because it’ll “make others uncomfortable” or “we don’t talk about that stuff…”
Actually, all humans are taught to not talk about this stuff, not just women…
We dive into
- Lily’s multiple birth traumas
- racial disparities and some shocking realities of healthcare for Black women (and not just in the US - she’s Canadian)
- family dynamics and “high-standards” and how that affects us throughout our lives from various perspectives (she talks about her Grandmother, who is a literal African Queen, immigrating to another country, and the pressure of maintaining an image…I talk about having 2 physician parents who wouldn’t accept less than perfection)
- various expectations placed on us (intentional or unintentional)
- how our bodies tell us when something is off (sometimes very aggressively - like when she suddenly found herself going from active to wheelchair bound without any obvious explanation. Or when she started bleeding from the eyes - listen in to hear those crazy stories!)
- …and how to listen to what our bodies are saying…
- and so so much more
Please note that the audio isn’t perfect on here, because the nice microphone failed us, and I had to pull audio from my phone that was recording for B roll footage…but SO worth dealing with less than ideal audio to listen in on this coversation. It was a live podcast and everyone in attendance can confirm that it was so eye-opening and validating and all the things we all need 💕
Please share screenshots on social and tag both myself and Lily (IG handles below) to help as many people as possible feel safe to be seen and heard in these topics or whatever they are going through.
Much love, fam.
