Ep. 21: Healing Sexual Trauma and Reclaiming the Seductress with Kate Phillips

In this conversation I sit down with my best friend Kate Phillips — transformational performance coach, filmmaker, and guest teacher inside Awakening the Wild Woman — for one of the most honest conversations I've ever had on this podcast.

We talk about how sexual trauma creates the seductress as a survival response. About the difference between seduction as a tool of survival and seduction as sovereign, vital expression. About carrying the predator inside us long after the original harm is done — and how it shows up in the committed relationships we've been working so hard to call in.

We also get into our righteous rage. The Epstein files. The crimes that happened to us personally. And why we're done making our pain palatable.

In this episode:

The seductress archetype — reclaiming her from harm and shameHow sexual trauma creates the seductress as a survival responseThe Epstein files and systemic male violence — and our justified rageCarrying the predator inside us and how it shows up in committed relationshipsThe difference between seduction as survival vs seduction as sovereign expressionShadow work, intentional hedonism, and healing through performance and playThe wounded masculine and what we actually need from menSpeaking directly — not making our pain palatable

This episode contains explicit personal disclosures including sexual assault. Please listen with care.

Kate will be leading us through shadow embodiment and reclamation of the seductress archetype inside Awakening the Wild Woman this May.

Enrollment is open through May 12th. We begin May 21st.
