This week on the podcast, host Anne-Marie Zanzal speaks with feminist, transformational coach, and publisher of positivenewsus.org, Ilu Wloch. Ilu shares her story of growing up in communist Poland in a deeply Catholic culture, and discusses the impacts it had on her path of self-discovery. Tune in for an in-depth conversation about cultural gender expectations, Ilu's path to embracing her authentic sexuality, understanding the powerful pull towards the divine feminine, and her work as a healer.
❓ What to Expect in This Episode:
🗣️Conversation about cultural contexts of communism and Catholicism and their impacts on queer individuals.
🕯️An in-depth exploration of the divine feminine in religion.
♀️Understanding feminism and its misconceptions
👥The gifts of cultivating positivity and community.
✨ Why This Matters:
Understanding the role of the patriarchy and the counterbalance of feminist resistance helps us all to understand the true significance - and fear of - female power. Challenging conventional gender roles, leaning into community of women, understanding the past and acknowledging our power to shape the future is both empowering and healing.
