As we navigate the waves of female empowerment, I've contemplated women's choices with their bodies.
This conversation isn't just about questioning societal norms; it's a call to rediscover the powerful essence of womanhood and the genuine empowerment that comes from conscious choice and integrity.
I share insights into the unique role women play in the cycle of life and the importance of being the decision-maker in sexual relationships—an act of sacredness in itself.
It's an invitation to embrace our inner warrior, to find power not in the quantity of our experiences but in the quality of our choices.
I'd love to know what you think,
With love,
Em xx

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome to the Becoming your Warrior podcast.
This is the place where you getto feel inspired and empowered
to step into your very best life.
Hey, it's Em and this is theBecoming your Warrior podcast.
This episode might divide a fewpeople.
(00:22):
I'm really curious to know whatyour thoughts are.
I'd love to get your feedback.
I'd love you to message me orjump on the website it's just
emma-ritchiecom and send me amessage, because this is just
something that, you know, I'vebeen witnessing for a really
long time and I just want tospeak up about it because I love
(00:43):
women long time.
And I just want to speak upabout it because I love women.
I love all humans, to be honest,but I especially love women and
I really really want to drillhome how sacred our bodies are
and I really feel like at themoment, I feel like there's this
movement which is aboutempowered women and I think
(01:05):
there's a bit of confusion aboutwhat empowered is, because
there are girls out there goingyeah, you know, my body counts
like 30 and I'm 19, 20 years oldand I'm just empowered, I'm
just owning it, I'm just doingwhat I want and, you know, full
power to them From myperspective.
I look at that and I'm like noone who is feeling empowered and
(01:29):
who isn't lacking in self-worthis sleeping with 30 people by
the time they're 19.
And I'm not slut shaming thosegirls.
They can do what they want butI am saying like there is a
either, like a lack of integrity, a lack of discernment when
they're choosing who they'resleeping with.
There is.
(01:49):
You know, it's all good to behorny and go out and do what you
want to do, right, and I'vecertainly had periods in my life
where I haven't been with apartner and I've definitely
dated and had fun, so, but mybiggest concern at the moment is
that, girl, it's it's beingnormalized that you should just
hook up with people all the time.
And I was with a friend of minethe other day and, um, he
(02:13):
actually runs uh, uh, like a, amixed kind of football team and
uh, they all like 17, 18 and allof them.
He was saying all of them havehooked up with each other.
And I was like what?
And he was like, yeah, they'veall hooked up and, you know,
nothing's come of it.
And I'm just like, oh, my God,it's.
It's kind of terrifying.
It's terrifying just because Ijust think girls and I'd love
(02:39):
girls to come back to thesacredness of of who they are.
So let me just talk a littlebit about women's bodies, and
I've been on a big journey thislast year.
I've done a year long coursewhich is called Journey of the
World Feminine, which was run bymy amazing friend Anki and yeah
, you should check her out atSacred Rising on Instagram.
She's an absolutely incredibleteacher and she teaches women's
(03:03):
mysteries, and I, in the lastyear, have learned more than
ever like women's bodies.
If you think about what we do,if we, if we do decide to, you
know, have children and have ababy and that all happens
naturally.
Like you know, our bodiesreceive, we'll choose the sperm
that we want to, you know, goinside the egg and turn into a
(03:26):
baby and we will grow a humaninside of our body, right, and
without us on the planet, thereare no more humans.
Without women on the planet,there is no more humans, and so
that in itself should add a hugeamount of value to you.
You are so valuable becausewithout you, a man cannot pass
(03:47):
on his DNA, he cannot have achild, he cannot reproduce.
There is no way that a man cando this.
I'm not, I'm not paying mendown, I'm just saying this is
pure biology, right, this ispure fact.
A woman you know there aresperm banks and stuff like that
now, but you know we cannot mencannot reproduce without women,
(04:10):
and so our bodies are a vesselfor pure creation and that in
itself is incredibly sacred.
And I just think handing ourbodies over to guys who you know
are don't deserve it or haven'tworked for it or haven't proved
themselves, you know, like wayback when you know men would
(04:34):
have to fight or provide, or,you know, try and win the heart
of a girl and get her to see thevalue in him before she handed
her value over when now it'sjust like, yeah, do you want to
hook up?
Yeah, cool, let's hook up, andit's it's.
It's just like, yeah, do youwant to hook up?
Yeah, cool, let's hook up, andit's, it's it's.
I feel like we're really losingthe sacredness of our bodies
(04:55):
and we're just handing our.
You know that isn't beingempowered.
We're handing our power over so, so easily to people that don't
deserve it.
I'm not bagging out men when I'msaying this.
All right, right, I'm justsaying a high.
This is what people talk aboutwhen they talk about a high
value woman.
Um, this is one of the things.
Um, a high value woman issomebody that actually has that
(05:17):
integrity to kind of say tosomebody, even if they're
showering them with complimentsand they're doing all these
things, a high value woman isthe woman who gets to choose,
who chooses, not the woman who'sjust like, yeah, cool, it's on,
let's do it.
So I'd love to know yourthoughts on this.
I'd love to know what you think, because I'm just seeing it
(05:40):
more and more.
It's like, you know, reallyyoung girls are being sexualized
.
You know, tiktok, everything.
It's all getting a bit.
It's all getting a bit icky forme, to be honest, I'm a bit
over it.
But working in TV and castingshows and things like that as
well, you know, I get to talk toa lot of people in their
twenties and, you know, get tohear their stories and some of
(06:04):
them are so switched on and sosmart and wonderful and I just
love talking to them.
But then I talk to other peopleand I'm just kind of like, wow,
you are.
You know, this is whereself-worth isn't there.
It's kind of like thisself-worth is is, um, resting on
how many guys they can get tolike them or you know, or sleep
(06:24):
with.
You know, it's not the feminineway, it's not, it's not the way
that it's meant to be.
And I'm not saying to peopledon't go out and don't have fun
and don't hook up.
I'm just saying, like, if youknow, when it comes to high
value, this is one of the things, um, that it's.
It's not about a guy asking youand you feeling like you can't
(06:48):
tell him how many people youslept with, and it's not about
the number, it's about why youdid it.
Um, and if you're just handingyour body away to anyone, then
what value is it, you know, for?
Uh, down the track.
I hope that makes sense.
I really would love to hearwhat anyone else thinks about
this, because I just feel likeour bodies as women are so
(07:10):
sacred.
We are the CEOs of them.
We get to decide what to dowith them, but the more that we
just kind of.
It's almost like, if you thinkabout it, like being a CEO of a
business and just employinganyone in your company, right,
just going, yeah, they'll do,they'll do, they'll do, they'll
do like how in your company,right, just going, yeah, they'll
do, they'll do, they'll do,they'll do Like, how is your
company going to thrive ifyou're just accepting anyone Tom
(07:32):
Dick or Harry right?
How is your business and yourcompany going to thrive if you
were just accepting anybody intoyour company?
And that is what your body islike.
If you were just accepting anyguy into your body.
It's like the value.
How are you meant to thrive?
How is your value meant tothrive?
(07:53):
How's your brand?
How's your reputation, company,as the CEO of your body like?
What's your reputation?
You know people only want tobuy, people only place high
value on things that have agreat reputation, that are known
for discernment, that are knownfor integrity, that are known
(08:17):
for making great decisions andreally good choices about who
they have around them.
So yeah, just take that onboard and let me know what you
think I'd love to know.
And at the same time, you knowwe're all sexual beings.
I'm not saying you know youhave to go and join the nunnery
or anything like that.
I'm just saying I think we'relosing something really, really
special here.
I think we've lost touch withour value as women.
(08:38):
It's not just to have casualsex with people, it's.
We have so much to offer and Ireally do believe this is like
the battle at the moment withthe masculine and feminine.
There's so much negativitybetween men and women and the
masculine and the feminine, butactually really what it comes
down to is the feminine is thereceiving and the feminine is
(09:00):
the one that ultimately makesthe decision.
It doesn't come down to a manto make a decision whether he
can have sex with you or not,and if he does make that
decision, that's a whole notherword.
But basically, a woman, that'strue empowerment.
A woman deciding if she wantsto have sex if this man has
(09:21):
proved himself and hisworthiness of you, that's true
sacredness, that's trueempowerment, that's true
discernment when you choose andyou decide when you're ready, if
you're ready.
So yeah, send me a message.
I'd love to know what you thinkand, as always, it's a pleasure
(09:42):
being here.
I love chatting to you guys andI hope you're having a lovely
day, morning, afternoon, evening, wherever you are, sending you
