In this episode, I explore the ways in which patriarchal and colonial thought systems affect the parts of ourselves we get to experience and express, and how we can begin to think of ways to be more complete, free human beings.
I touch on how our dominant thought systems shape the reality we experience, how qualities associated with the "feminine" are often looked down on in Western systems of thought, how how misogyny can cause us to disown important parts of ourselves, and how the process of accepting and integrating all of our qualities and characteristics can help us find more creative freedom and inspiration.
I also offer some simple suggestions for finding your way toward habits that help you court your muse and access your intuitive, creative, and receptive qualities.
And finally, I offer an example of a creative practice I've used in songwriting (and other endeavors) and share a song that was written with that practice.
