Episode Summary:
In this episode of "Owning Pleasure as a Black Woman," I discuss the essential practice of prioritizing pleasure even during difficult times.
I deliver a powerful message about how Black women can balance staying informed about world events while honoring their need for rest, pleasure, and peace.
Tune in as we explore why pleasure isn't frivolous but necessary, especially during challenging times. If you're looking to reclaim your joy while navigating the complexities of today's world, you won't want to miss this one!
Key Takeaways:
- Pleasure as Resistance: Embracing pleasure is not selfish but an act of resistance and a reclaiming of time, energy, and autonomy in a system designed to keep us exhausted.
- Both/And Thinking: You can hold space for both staying informed about societal struggles and prioritizing your personal joy and peace—it doesn't have to be either/or.
- Ancestral Wisdom: Our ancestors found ways to experience joy even during unimaginable hardships; by embracing pleasure, we continue their legacy of resistance.
Special Features:
- A guided 10-minute "Pleasure Permission Practice" meditation
- Introduction to the "Pleasure Despite Journal" practice to document daily moments of joy

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
