The overculture tells lies to keep us disconnected from our true pleasure, our deep purpose, and our (very) real power.
The truth is: As a woman…to embody your pleasure, live your purpose, and know your power is a revolutionary act.
Don’t believe the lies.

Lie: Pleasure is a Luxury
The overculture tells us pleasure is a luxury.
Something that lives in the realm of ‘nice to have, but only available to some’.
Something some people ‘deserve’…and others do not.
Something to be put off until….
…after we’ve ‘earned’ it.
…we have a partner.
…we’ve done something (good enough) to deserve it.
THIS IS A LIE.
Truth: Pleasure is All of Our Birthright
When we put conditions on our pleasure, this disconnects us from ourselves, our creativity, our aliveness, and from Life itself.
Pleasure is not only for the wealthy, or the privileged.
Pleasure is essential.
Pleasure is our birthright.
Pleasure is available to everyone, in every moment.
Pleasure is for every body.

Lie: Purpose Is for Men
The overculture tells women our purpose is other people: husbands, children, bosses…
That we are unattractive (to whom?) when we serve something deeper.
That we should be seeking outside of ourselves for fulfillment.
THIS IS A LIE.
Truth: Every One Has Deep Purpose
You have a purpose deeper than any role you hold.

Lie: Some People Have Power & Others Don’t
Those with more control over systems & access to resources want us to believe they have power (and we don’t).
THIS IS A LIE.
Truth: We All Have Power
We all have an impact. We all matter, and our very existence changes the world around us.
How we choose to express our power, and how fully we are willing to acknowledge it, is a matter of practice and preference – but pretending we are not powerful does nothing to change the truth that we are powerful.
