Today I talk to my friend and colleague Kendra Cover who is a women’s intimacy coach. Kendra and I were wondering out loud recently recently about this and wondering What does a woman with a capital W look like, what is it that stops us stepping into womanhood and what does it look like to others. How would we know, what does it feel like inside of us?

In this podcast we explore:

The rites of passage that women go through how poorly supported they are,
How women feel their value comes from the roles that they take up in their lives. That we are conditioned to be a good daughter, good friend, good mother, good wife; all the time giving so much of ourselves away to others. That within these roles there comes so much discomfort that we feel that is surprising to us;
How few archetypal roles are available to women in terms of how they show up and this narrowing down of how we ‘are’ diminishes so much of who we are,
How learning to hold all of our emotions and listening to the signals they provide is both a source of great power and pleasure to us,
There is so little encouragement culturally in our society to encourage and honour people really to get to know themselves on a very deep level,
The lack of ritual and honour that exists within our society to support women through the rites of passage we go through,
When you connect with your sexual energy which is your life force energy you can never turn it off and it is such an incredible source of vitality to us in life.
