In this episode of 'My Mama Summer,' I take you on a heartfelt and thought-provoking journey through my experiences in an online feminist community.
I dive into my initial excitement about joining the community, the disillusionment I felt due to groupthink and hypocrisy, and the conflicts I faced when sharing my unique perspectives.
I discuss the intense feminist programming I encountered and reflect on the cultural shifts impacting society.
This episode also features my satirical poem 'Eye-Fucked,' which critiques the modern feminist narrative and explores how women's anger and dissatisfaction were often projected onto men.
Through these personal stories and reflections, I reveals my growth and stance on feminism, providing a nuanced look at the complexities of gender dynamics.
This episode is a deep dive into challenging norms and finding one's voice amidst societal pressures.

Warning: This podcast is not a highlight reel. (And I think that's a refreshing thing in a world of superficiality and false pretences.)
Go behind the scenes of my life as I build an online business, raise a family with intention, live abroad in a new country, and unpack trauma, programming, and reparent myself openly in the public realm.
In every episode, you’ll get insights into the depth of what it really takes to build a business, whilst being a present mama, living a life outside the box, and doing the work it takes to be who we’re meant to be.
My Mama Summer is my journey to becoming whole.
