Summary

In this episode, we go deeper into the ancient feminine power they tried to bury.

Before patriarchy rewrote the narrative, women were seen as sacred. Goddesses like Inanna, Hathor, Lilith, Aphrodite, Oshun, and Shakti weren’t just symbols, they represented fertility, sensuality, leadership, wisdom, and divine authority. But over time, their stories were distorted or erased altogether.

This episode is a reminder that your power has ancient roots. We’re not reclaiming anything new, we’re remembering what they tried to make us forget.
