Becoming Her: Lessons From Fucking Around And Finding Out

In this episode, I share how doing things most people would consider “fucking up”—like dating a guy who told me he was schizophrenic and had been addicted to crack—has actually been the key ingredient of my liberation. The stories I used to feel ashamed of became my greatest teachers. They led me home to myself and helped build the kind of inner strength and confidence that only comes from lived experience.

I talk about how, throughout this journey, I realized that I’m an artist. For me, being an artist means feeling deeply connected to life and expressing what I feel through the choices I make—choices guided by my soul’s desires and inner knowing. My whole life is art. And I believe all women on the path of liberation are inherently artists. We’re the ones questioning what is and choosing to create something different—something that actually aligns with our bodies, hearts, and souls.

For thousands of years, women have been conditioned to be “good girls,” and that conditioning keeps us small and sick. But it’s through fucking around and finding out that we discover what freedom really means to us.
