- The split many women experience of being either a virgin or a whore
- Blooming in midlife and beyond
- How it felt for Laura to experience her sexuality again
- Reclaiming the young maiden energy
- The importance of the circumstances that we are in and not problematizing our sexuality or lack there of
- The difficulty of staying in your own experience when others' experiences, feelings, and judgments are often reflected back to you
- How do we define sexual freedom outside of patriarchal models
- The physical, emotional, mental and soulful aspects of sex and how much they matter...or not
- How sexuality is seen as a problem for women rather than a gift
- Why so many of us are utterly bewildered

Welcome to episode 18 of season 2 of the Woman Uncaged podcast! This week's episode was inspired by something Laura heard on a religious radio station while driving through rural Pennsylvania (it was the only kind of radio she could get!).

We explore:

- A pastor's biggest advice for women
- Why are women always the ones who have to change and accommodate?
- How this harms both women AND men
- The demonization of women's curiosity
- Our "advice" for the woman whose husband won't answer her questions or simply shuts down
- Sitting side by side vs. facing one another
- Should women lower our standards?
- How women are usually responsible for checking the pulse of relationship
- Why we wait for men to diagnose the state of the relationship
- If men are more prone to getting stuck in the comfort zone
- The mommy/son dynamic
- How "twinning" in relationships does not offer deep relationships
- How we are taught that it's off-putting to want to get to really know a person
- Why women asking questions is disruptive to patriarchy
- Laura's main filter when online dating

Welcome to the Woman Uncaged Podcast, Episode 17 of Season 2! In this episode we explore how to maintain our softness in the face of difficult times, and a reclaiming of our emotional range no matter what is happening.

We talk about:
-how suffering doesn't equate caring
-how we can feel more than one emotion at a time
-how we can't tell what a person is feeling based on their behavior
-how we need the rebel energy and that fire, but we don't want to stay there
-how important it is to have people who will see and hold the whole range of who we are
-how important it is not to belittle joy and pleasure
-how joy and love can remind us what we're standing for
-accepting things in other people that we will never understand
-conditional belonging
-how if we define ourselves by what we're against, when we take that thing away, we no longer know who we are

We reference:
