🔥 Moving Through Shame: Reclaiming My Voice, My Body, and My Work
Share
There’s a quote I came across recently that pierced something deep in me:
“Her ‘no’ is felt as punishment by unforged men who confuse her erotic presence with permanent consent.”
As a woman whose life and work live at the intersection of sensuality and embodiment, I’ve felt this truth in my bones.
There’s a painful irony in how a woman’s empowered expression — her ease in her body, her openness, her radiance — can be so easily distorted.
Because I move, speak, and live from my body, there are those who’ve mistaken my expression for invitation.
But embodiment isn’t an invitation for access.
It’s reclamation.
It’s sovereignty.
It’s remembering that a woman can be deeply in her erotic aliveness and still be entirely her own.
When the World Misunderstands the Work
It’s not always easy to walk this path.
The more I’ve embodied my sensual truth, the more I’ve seen others project their discomfort, fear, and shame onto it.
Recently, someone even attempted to smear my name — trying to discredit my work and creative career, attacking the very thing that has been my soul’s healing.
I won’t name names or give power to the noise.
But I will say this: when people can’t control your truth, they try to control your narrative.
My sensual work — the same practices that help women release trauma, heal from shame, and reclaim their confidence — has been misjudged by those who haven’t yet done the work to meet their own depth.
But I refuse to shrink to make others comfortable.
Because the body tells the truth.
And I’m done apologizing for living in mine.
The Medicine of Movement
In last week’s YouTube video, “Moving Through Shame,” I guide you through a somatic flow to help release the weight of inherited guilt and silence — to help you feel what’s been buried, and let it move through.
🌀 Watch the full practice below:
As women, we carry generations of unspoken stories in our hips, our wombs, and our breath.
Shame doesn’t leave through thinking — it leaves through trembling, breathing, crying, and reclaiming space in the body.
This is the sacred work of embodiment: returning home, again and again, to the truth that we are not broken. We are remembering.
The Deeper Roots of Shame
In my book The Roots of Pelvic Floor Yoga, I write about how shame and sexuality live in the body — how cultural conditioning, trauma, and silence weave tension into our very tissues.
The pelvic floor holds so much more than physical structure. It holds our stories of power, repression, desire, and worthiness.
When we learn to release that tension — through movement, breath, and awareness — we create space for freedom, creativity, and deep peace.
This is why I do what I do.
It’s why I keep showing up, even when misunderstood.
Because every time one woman releases shame through her body, she ripples healing into generations before and after her.
Closing Reflection
If you’ve ever been shamed for your sensuality, for your body, or for your voice — I see you.
Your softness is not a weakness. Your “no” is not a punishment.
Your aliveness is sacred.
Keep moving through the shame. Keep reclaiming your truth.
Because every time you do, you rise freer, wilder, and more fully your own.
✨ May your movement be your medicine.
