13. Casting Out Shame: Art, Identity, and Empowerment with Viktoria Krug of Vulvarium

What if a statue of your vulva could change how you see your body—and help rewrite a generation's relationship with pleasure, shame, and power?

In this boundary-breaking episode, we welcome the incredible artist and founder of Vulva Casting, Viktoria Krug. Known for her empowering vulva sculptures, Viktoria uses art to help women and vulva-havers around the world reclaim body confidence, dismantle shame, and celebrate the diversity of our bodies.

Viktoria shares how a single discovery in her twenties led to a global mission to normalize vulva diversity and empower people through casting sessions. Together, we discuss identity, self-expression, sexuality, and what it means to honor the parts of ourselves that have been hidden, judged, or misunderstood.

From boudoir photography to vulva art, this conversation explores how personal liberation can be a political act—and how simply saying yes to seeing yourself can be revolutionary.

In this episode:

• Why vulva castings are about more than art—they’re about healing and reclamation
• The emotional and cultural power behind casting the most intimate part of your body
• How shame around genitalia starts—and how we can dismantle it
• Why vulva diversity matters in conversations about sexuality, gender, and identity
• What to expect from a vulva casting session (yes, it’s safe, sacred, and deeply empowering!)
• How you can be part of the movement, even if you don’t book a session
