And so for me, I was like, I want to get a felt sense of it.

What does it mean to be satisfiable?

And I'll ask people, like, when was the last time you were satisfied?

Can you imagine being satisfied?

What are the things that satisfy you in a given day?

How do you know that you have done enough in a given day?

Do you understand that you don't have to produce anything to deserve satisfaction?

I'm Jocelyn K. Gly, and this is Hurry Slowly, a podcast about pacing yourself, where I explore how you can find more calm, comfort, and clarity

through the simple act of slowing down.

Today I'm digging into a deep exploration of pleasure and the wisdom of the body with

Adrian Marie Brown.

A product of a seemingly endless capacity for curiosity, Adrian inhabits many roles.

She is a social justice facilitator, a doula, a writer, a pleasure activist, and the co-host of the

excellent podcast, How to Survive the End of the World. Her latest book is the New York Times bestseller, Pleasure Activism, The Politics of Feeling Good,

in which she writes about how pleasure, like economic benefits, is often distributed unevenly.

A small few get to live lives of deep pleasure, while the many are just trying to get by.

She advocates for a more equitable distribution of pleasure as well as bringing more pleasure back into the work of actively transforming our world for the better.

As she writes in the book, quote, pleasure activism is about learning what it means to be

satisfiable, to generate from within and from between us and abundance from which we can all have

enough.

In this conversation, Adrian and I take an in-depth look at how we might define pleasure for ourselves.

The wisdom that we can access when we really drop into our bodies and feel the information that they hold.
