Human Becoming is a weekly podcast that explores the ins and outs, the good, the bad and the ugly, of what it means to be(come) human. From tackling shame to embracing our anger, this podcast aims to bring you closer to yourself - to what experiences have shaped you and your story, and how you can embrace your own humanity. This podcast is hosted by Tumi Moloto, a human (and healer) becoming, a passionate historian and storyteller, a non-binary, queer African, and a lover of humanity. In their time here on earth, they hope to show humanity that there is another way forward, that moves us away from disconnection, capitalism and collective trauma, towards belonging, compassion, and collective healing. This podcast is the story of their rumbles with the complexity of their own humanity. As they take you along on the journey of their becoming, they hope that the stories shared will give you greater insight into yours.
Send us a textHello! Welcome back to another microthought. This episode is about my recent audhd diagnosis, how that changed from my diagnosis of bipolar 5 years ago, my thoughts on late diagnosis and the appearance of autism + adhd in people socialised as women, and a couple more fun thoughts just for you. Enjoy ✨
Send us a textI'm starting a new segment of human becoming called hb micro thoughts. This will be for thoughts, stories and experiences that are small and sharp and want to be shared within 15 minutes or so.This micro thought is about the climate crisis, global warming, and the collective grief that you may be feeling as you look out at the world in crisis.
Human becoming returns (maybe?).This episode is a little hi! hello! how are you! before I return from my podcasting hiatus to get back to one of my favourite mediums.I talk about God and our large self, who human becoming is and who I am now (hint hint: who knows!), how I've been using Instagram as my metaphorical yoga mat, capitalism, and some of my intentions for this new era of the podcast.
Hello, dear human, and welcome to the Human Becoming podcast. It is so, so lovely to have you here.Human Becoming has been alive for 3 WHOLE YEARS. In that time, I've explored themes of shame, desire, sexuality, the shadow, magick, ancestral healing, somatics, money, and so much more. Wherever you are in your journey, Human Becoming has something special for you - and in this episode, I run through all the seasons and what they cover so that you can figure out where you want to jump in.Yours in love, always.Tumi
I love the money magick coven.And sometimes I struggle to capture just how brilliant, transformative and magickal this work has been for me and my clients. So I've made a podcast episode that is all about WHY I love the money magick coven, and why I want YOU to join me in it.
We are wired for connection.We are attachment-oriented beings.What happens when our attachment relationships are disrupted or severed?This episode is all about the somatics of attachment: how our earliest attachment strategies develop, and how to support ourselves when they get activated.Break ups can be REALLY challenging for our bodies and nervous systems. My hope is that this episode supports you in meeting yourself with tenderness, compassion and care as you navigate attachment upsets!
Whorishness is one of my highest spiritual ideals (hail Babalon!)Today's episode is all about my journey into whorishness, slutiness, sacred sexuality and God.If you're a deeply spiritual being and a deeply sexual being (hint hint: we all are!)…If you're curious about being a slut for God and the mysteries…If you're wanting to ride the wild beast that is our reality with total approval and acceptance…And feel DEEPLY turned on as you do…this episode for you.
What's the difference between desire and capacity when you're dating someone new? (Or, when you're just being a human in relationship with other humans!)In this episode we speak about the principles of capacity (what we are able to do) and desire (what we want to do), and how learning to understand the difference between the two can help us to navigate our relationships with more love, tenderness and compassion.
In this episode, I have the delight of speaking to my dear friend, brilliant artist and fellow magician Camille Bacon. Camille describes herself as a heap of blood and bones and a hefty dose of star sprinkle, the glitter on the oceans surface and the primordial rhythm of the deep. I describe her as a generator of worlds and culture, a leader of the new Aeon, a beloved devotee of the Gods and the mystery, and a prolific creator of the unnameable and unknowable yet-to-be.This episode is giggly, and sweet, as we speak about what brought Camille to their spiritual and creative practice, what it means to be in relationship with the spirits who choose co-create with us, and how we are constantly being initiated through our art.We name and glorify our artistic ancestors, the many brilliant Black women who have come before us and the magic they have carried that has made 'us' possible.We speak prayers over our past and present and future selves, and offer this recording up to our artistic and magickal descendants as a reminder to keep creating and working magick.
This episode is about my recent decision to explore celibacy, how I've been feeling poly burned-out, where I choose partners that probably should just be my coaching clients, and what I've been learning about myself as a relational being through my recent romantic escapades (and non-escapades!).
In this episode, recorded at 1am, I speak about desire, my newfound commitment to celibacy, and how I am now devoted to remaining heart-open to finding my one true love and experiencing my happily ever after (yes, I believe in fairytale endings! and that's what I want!)
I've made it a practice to notice the presence of good men in my life - one of whom is my dear friend, Tebza.In this podcast episode, we speak about men and masculinity in South Africa, what it was like for Tebza to grow up in Hillbrow and the lessons he learned about being a man inside and outside of his house, and how he is charting an alternative masculinity for himself that allows for more play, pleasure and flexibility, while keeping steadfast in his deep desire to stand up for injustice and be a protective presence in the lives of the people around him. We speak about the masculine and the feminine, “what even is gender”, and our personal experiences of navigating these solar and lunar energies in our lives in a way that serves us and the people around us…AND SO MUCH MORE.Also, this episode includes my excessive mmms because I LOVE to mmmm!I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, and hope you will too!
In this episode I am joined by my dear friend, fellow mystic, and co-camp counsellor of Jesus Camp, Dani Bobby! We talk about the the great gnostic truth hidden within everyday sayings like "Jesus, take the wheel", how we can begin to understand the symbolic significance of the masculine and the feminine in the bible, why it's so important to bring the body into this consciousness raising work, and why the symbol of Jesus seems to pop up for so many magicians and witches who have have previously thought that they were "so not into the Jesus vibe".Enjoy!And if you're wanting to take this Jesus work deeper with us, you can enrol in Jesus Camp here:https://www.tumimoloto.me/jesus-camp
how do we forgive our abusers?many of us have felt shamed, or moralised, into forgiveness. unfortunately, this idea that we “should” forgive others prevents us from knowing the deeply orgasmic, bubbling sensation of forgiveness arising in our being - not because we have told it that it “should”, but because forgiveness will naturally bubble up when we come into understanding our true Self.in this episode, I don't shy away from speaking about:• rape and sexual assault• colonisation • apartheid• white body supremacy • patriarchy • all the things I have really, really struggled to forgive (and ultimately have)if you're into this vibe, and you want to deepen in your own journey of coming into knowledge of your true Self and opening yourself up to the great current of forgiveness, you're invited to Jesus Camp, an online 13 week long journey that'll knock your socks off. curious to learn more?you can check it out here:https://www.tumimoloto.me/jesus-camp
Jesus, bell hooks and Aleister Crowley walk into a bar. Jesus says: “love each other as I have loved you”Aleister Crowley says: “love is the law”And bell hooks says: “it's all about love, baby!”All of these fabulous, descended masters carried a central transmission about the transformative, revolutionary and awakening power of Love.In this episode, I talk about why - if I could have dinner with three people - I would choose Jesus, the son of man, Aleister Crowley, one of the most famed and hated occultists of the 20th century, and bell hooks - an artistic ancestor of mine who has guided my work for the past 8 years. I speak about my personal meeting of Jesus, decolonisation, and how we can awaken to the knowledge that we are the second coming of Christ (and why it is urgent that we must).This episode is also an invitation into my upcoming Jesus Camp (you can learn more about that here https://www.tumimoloto.me/jesus-camp) where we will be spending 13 weeks together exploring how we can awaken to our own personal Jesus.Enjoy ⚡️
We are in the apocalypse.It is not a far off destination, something that we have the luxury to put off thinking about/feeling into/engaging with.ANDWhat if apocalypse is not what we think it is - what if apocalypse is generative (or could be) - what if apocalypse is the necessary dark night of the soul that humanity must go through in service to the evolution of our consciousness?In this episode, I speak about trust - and what it means to lean on trust, and faith, and hope, and possibility, in a world on fire (literally).I speak about my recent experiences of meeting apocalypse, of having the somatic experience/sense/knowing of apocalypse, and how my ancestors have given me one simple message, which is this:“You do not have the luxury of being hopeless. It is selfish to lose faith. You must believe, with every cell and fibre of your being, that another world is possible - and you must ACT like it - until you take your last breath.”Enjoy.
I am a love bomber. A narcissist. A gaslighter. A ghoster. A breadcrumber.In this episode, we discuss these overused terms and how they can be used to invoke the drama triangle (a model created by Stephen Karpman that needs a victim, perpetrator, and bystander in order to create exquisite drama), and how that can lead to a static, boring terrain that is no fun to date in.This episode is part cultural critique, part love philosophy, part intro to the drama triangle and shadow work, and a personal exploration of how many of these behaviors can be understood from a more compassionate lens.
In this two-part episode, I navigate the complex terrain that men find themselves walking in 2023. I talk about the ways that the patriarchy robs men of the opportunity to know themselves deeply and to be known, to embrace all sides of themselves - their emotions, their vulnerabilities, their fears, and their humanity. I talk specifically about the ways that this has impacted my relationship with men, and how men are often asked to choose between intimacy, connection, and vulnerability on the one hand - and power, wealth, and domination on the other. This creates a world where so many of us do not get to experience the beauty and life-giving potential of being in loving relationships with men.I also look towards a future, where men can be free, and explore what that would look like - and how we get there.

Can we love patriarchal men?Can we do the work of love - bell hooks style - with men who are unconsciously upholding the patriarchy?Once, I would have thought this question deserved an obvious “no”.But through loving patriarchal men, I realise the truth is a little bit more complex (and heartbreaking).This is an episode for anyone, who has (in any capacity), desires to do the work of loving and caring for men.
What's death to a bunch of immortal beings?Human becoming has died, human becoming has risen, human becoming will cum (many times, hopefully) again!All good death stories lead to resurrection.All good resurrection stories begin with death.We don't know much time we have (because, in truth, none of us do!)But with the time we have… we'd like to spend it with you, dear listener.Welcome to a new season of the podcast.
we have come to the end of the road.this is the last episode of human becoming.it is a snotty, teary, deeply emotional one. it is a poetic reflection on all the paths we have walked together, the terrain we have covered, the beauty and suffering we have seen, and all the hopes and wishes I carry in my heart for you (and the whole of humanity).it has been a gift and a privilege to share this medicine with you.thank you. re a leboga. until we meet again.if you would be so generous, I would love to receive your words on how the human becoming transmission has affected/touched/moved/challenged you - whether it is a word, an image, a symbol, a sentence or an essay.and please, keep in touch with me on instagram @tumimoloto777 or email me at tumi.moloto1@gmail.com.I love you.
welcome to the last episode of season four of human becoming. this episode is a kind of recap of the previous four seasons and the journey that we've gone on together. it is the last episode of 2022 (at least, it was recorded in 2022).and it is an invocation of change, as we move into the fifth season of the podcast and the mysteries that it holds.blessed 2023, sweet magician.
ever get tired of bandaid solutions? watching humans living under capitalism is like watching someone slowly get stabbed and putting little bandaids over the wounds. at a point you just want to scream: "HOW ABOUT WE STOP THIS GUY FROM GETTING CUT?!"but changing the systems and structures that allow for this constant cutting is not enough if we don't transform the underlying level of consciousness that allows for a world to be built that is #deathbyathousandcuts.today's episode is a long and windy road, it feels like two friends sitting in the desert and talking about the fall of capitalism under a romantic sky. it rambles and goes in circles and I say "what was I saying?" many times. I tell stories from my younger days as an activist coming of age during the Fallist movements and how learning about consciousness has changed my strategy for enacting change on planet earth.the key takeaway? get outside. speak to your neighbor, speak to a stranger, speak to your lover. create connections. build community. know that you can do consciousness-raising work anywhere, at anytime, and you can start exactly where you are. right now.yours in Love.
this episode is all about love. it is about readiness, and how I yearn for a love that is ready to meet me on the bridge (listen on if you want to understand what that means!). may this episode find you when you are ready to receive it.
Love's ending is painful. Whether it's a friendship, a romantic relationship, a familial tie - and whether love ends through a physical or spiritual/psychological/energetic death, it's fucking painful. We don't have a lot of rituals and ceremonies in this society to honour the ending of Love - to honour our grief, our sadness, our pain, our anger, our confusion, our frustration. Our ceremonies and rituals become vilifying the other, playing "who will win the breakup" or "move on" first, or disassociating from the deep grief that we're feeling.This episode is part ceremony - part ritual - part podcast. It is filled with tears and sobs and snotty sounds. It is an honouring of Love's beginning, middle and ending, and an exploration of how I am meeting the ending of a particularly beloved connection.May Love be with you, always.
This episode is all about feeling like a failure. I feel like a failure very often, despite how much or how little I judge myself as doing, and I've come to realize that this is just another annoying side effect of growing up under capitalism. Oh well. In this episode, I speak about how I relate to this voice in my head, how it shows up NO MATTER what, and how ultimately I think I want to recognize that this voice will show up every once in a while, and it... doesn't have to mean anything at all. Enjoy.
I procrastinated SO much around the creation and uploading of this episode (very fitting, given the subject matter) but here it is. Sometimes, I don't want to show up for my practices (my spiritual practices, my creative artistic practices, my self-care practices). We become what we practice, and we are always practicing SOMETHING. In this episode, I speak about what it's like to show up for our practices in a devotional way even when we don't really feel like it or are feeling decidedly avoidant in connection to them, and how this can create such beautiful creative openings in our lives. We are often taught that brilliance is something that shows up as a rare, unexpected brush stroke, something that is either innate in us or lacking in us. There are fewer cultural stories celebrating the magic of consistent, devotional practice - the showing up that makes the blooming of creative genius possible. This episode is an ode to this magic.
Desire is God's way of communicating their will for us. In this episode, I speak about what that means, wax lyrical about the divinity of our desires and name the systems of oppression that actively benefit from and DEVOTE energy towards removing us from our desires. Desire brings (r)evolution, desire brings change, and if we want to change the conditions of our lives and our culture - we must begin by reclaiming our sacred knowledge of what we want.
Hi, cutie! Human Becoming turns two and we're celebrating by speaking about my love of Jesus, how much my life has changed in the past few years, my love of suffering/contrast and all that is possible for us as human beings. Enjoy!
I'm grieving. In this episode, I open my heart and my mouth to share some of that grief with you. I speak about my most recent breakup, how fucking HARD and infuriating it is to love men under the conditions of patriarchy, and the deep importance of all of us committing to the work of love at this moment in earth's history.
This episode is a WILD ride. I come in hot and angry, allowing my rage to move through me and feeling the medicine/wisdom/teaching that this rage has to offer. I speak about the dual wave-particle nature of atomic particles, the feminine path of consciousness and what it looks like to think about the energetic masculine and feminine in a de-gendered framework. These are some of the fun things that bounce around in my head and keep me up at night - enjoy my imperfect sense-making process.
Join me in my existential musings on WHY THE FUCK we are even in relationships with other human beings (and also my vision for how we can navigate connection and intimacy and a new culture of relationships that moves us more deeply into love).
Money is cool... and weird. I opened the doors of my business this January and since then I have received a LOT more money than I was expecting or thought possible. In this episode, I talk about where that has been hard, confronting, and joyful, and what having access to this money has allowed me to create and experience. I received all of this money through the use of magic - and this episode is also a celebration of that fact. Magic is real. Magic is real. Magic is real. I speak a little bit about how our awakening to and understanding of magic is part of what it means to become human at this time and I share my delight in being able to share that magic with you.
Hi there, dear human becoming. I've been out and about and down and up and feeling all the things and questioning all the things and experiencing all the things - this is a little update on some of the beautiful chaos that I, Tumi, am moving through in this moment.
Breakups are hard. Grief is hard. In the last month, I've had a friendship that I thought would last forever and a partnership that I hoped would last forever come to an end. Moving through this grief has been deeply humbling and opening and painful - and this episode is about how I've been moving through this process, what it's been teaching me and revealing to me about God and life and Love.
Ever find yourself wanting to offer something to the world and feeling like you can't because it has to be perfect? Because you need to know more? Because (insert little detail) isn't correct, or just as you'd like it? I love playing this little game with myself where I convince myself that I only get to show up, and offer myself (and my art, and my work) to the world if they're perfect - and then I just... never do the thing I want to do because it will NEVER be perfect. If you're in that space, wonderful! If there's something you've been wanting to share with the world but find yourself getting worked up over the fine print - this is the episode for you! The world needs you AND your unique contribution in all of its messiness.
Money is not a bad word. But in the spiritual/activist community - it can feel like one! If you're someone who cares about the transformation of human consciousness so that we can create a more free, loving, and caring world (where we all get to be the geniuses that we are and offer our unique brilliance to the collective) - and sometimes you feel stuck around the money piece of the puzzle because it just feels so bad and icky - this episode is for you! Enjoy!
What would it look like to live a life where you put pleasure first? Where you trust your turn on to lead you to the places that you want to go? This week's episode is all about leadership (and why we might not consider ourselves leaders/shy away from that language), what it means to step into self-leadership, and the leadership that this new age is asking us to step into. I speak about the foundation of Aquarian age leadership: erotic empowerment, embodiment, and shadow-awareness - and the principle of putting pleasure first in ALL aspects of our lives.
Hi! I'm Tumi. This is a little episode about me, the human behind human becoming, the medicine that I bring to the world, and what the last three years (since the inciting incident! - listen to the first-ever episode of the podcast if you're curious about what I'm talking about) have taught me about healing and what it means to be in human-recovery from our current paradigm of domination and power over (plus, what it looks and feels like to reorient to pleasure, resilience, and abundance!). Also, this is an episode about the reorientation that Human Becoming is experiencing, and what I'm being moved by as I continue to create here and birth Human Becoming's work into the world. As always, enjoy!
If you are into linear, focused, goal-oriented, moving-in-a-specific-trajectory podcast episodes, this is not for you. If you are into thought-provoking-squiggly-non-linear-points-connecting-through-time podcast episodes, this might be an episode for you. This episode is about the "enemy", the "villain", the victim-perpetrator-righteous observer drama triangle and moving outside of moral condemnation and into compassion for all suffering. It is about trauma, how humans who don't process their trauma will blow that trauma through other people, historical trauma (specifically around race), and a whole lot more. It's about this big, cosmic theatre that we are a part of where we get to play out many, many roles, and how deeply entangled we are with the mess that (sometimes) we would desperately like to separate ourselves from.As a personal note, I really considered not releasing this episode - but upon hearing it with fresh ears, I think it might have some value to offer you (you be the judge). Speaking about these topics brings up all my fears and shame around being 'bad', canceled, labeled a victim-blamer, not-woke-enough, not-left-enough, too woo, spiritual bypassy, etc etc. But, this is my truth - and whether it resonates with you or not, I hope that it will bring clarity to yours.The Ted talks that were mentioned:I Was Almost A School Shooter.My descent into America's neo-nazi movement and how I got out.Meeting the enemy: A feminist comes to terms with the Men's Rights movement.
In this week's episode, I am totally loved up with a total of 0 brain cells operating - but I'd like to share a little bit of what I've been thinking about lately around shame and desire (my favorite subjects, yay!). At the end, I'll share some down-to-earth magic for working through shame so that you can know what you want (aka, God's will for you) and surrender to your destiny.
Hello, my dear human becoming. Long time no speak! I'm excited to be back (after taking a break for mercury retrograde and eclipse season) to share more wonderful, triggering, challenging thoughts about what it means to become human at this time. In this week's episode, I dive into where I have been, what I've been up to, how I've been growing - and I share the direction that the podcast will be taking moving forward. I speak about magic, and how we move from being unconscious magicians (who create realities we say we 'don't like') to conscious magicians who create the realities we are dreaming of and want to inhabit. Have I piqued your interest? I hope so. This is a juicy episode, and you will not come out of it the same way that you entered.
Love is disappointing. Life is disappointing. I am disappointing. This episode is an ode to disappointment - something many of us feel (and are ashamed to feel! cue "shouldn't we be happy and grateful all the time?"). This episode will support you in getting reaaaaaal comfortable with your own, disappointing nature - and how disappointing other people is actually a GOOD thing.

This is an episode for everyone with a pussy. Yes, everyone. Listen to this episode. Send it to your loved ones with pussies. If you were born with a pussy in this society, you are living under the collective curse of pussy disconnection and dishonoring. For centuries, pussies have been met with violence, disgust, fear, and ignorance (hello, western science only learned the full anatomy of the clitoris in 2005! TWO THOUSAND AND FIVE!). We are entering an age of pussy reconnection; an age in which pussies will be honored and met with reverence, celebration, and acceptance. Join me in calling in that age, and creating a new story between you and your pussy.To join the waitlist for the Human Becoming School's latest offering, Sacred Pussy, sign up here. I will see you inside the portal!
I love pussy consciousness, how about you? In this week's podcast episode, we talk about magical oppression, erotic empowerment, how we are all potters with our hands, and how, with our potters' hands, we have the ability to shape our reality. We talk about pussy consciousness and the wisdom that our pussies hold, as I embark on a 22-day devotional practice to become a portal for pussy consciousness to enter the world. Curious? Come explore with me!Interested in connecting more deeply to your body and wanting to be supported through that process? Sign up for my workshop, Awakening the Sacred Body, here.
This episode is a fun one. We speak about magic, manifestation, and (surprise!) love. We delve into the importance of shadow work and how you might unconsciously be reaaaally enjoying situations that your conscious mind hates (like abandonment, rejection, unrequited love). I let you into a little secret: that we all have a havingness level (how much of the 'good' shit we'll let into our lives) and that yours might be surprisingly low. Curious about how that might impact the quality of your relationships? Tune in!This episode is brought to you by the Human Becoming School. Enroll in Awakening the Sacred Body here, if you so desire.
This week's episode is also a big call to presence. We begin by dropping into our bodies and asking “can I be present with all of the sensations, emotions, and thoughts that will be created inside of me as I listen to this podcast episode?”. This is your invitation to arrive at this weekly healing session in a state of presence and bodyfulness, ready to listen to the feedback that your body will offer you as you are delighted, tickled, triggered, angered, confused, frustrated, enamored (and and and) by this human becoming transmission. In this week's episode, we meet Love. We speak about repair, and how conflict can become an opportunity to come back together in ways that create more closeness. And, in the vein of repair, I have a repair conversation with Love. I bemoan and grieve my relationship with Love - and speak directly to Love about my many grievances, my frustrations, my anger, my sadness. I speak about how I have felt betrayed and abandoned by Love, how cruel I have felt Love is for meeting me when it would not stay. I reveal my wounds at Love's gates and Love reveals some wisdom about them (and about itself) in turn. Join me as we dive into this conversation with Love, and meet Love in the fullness of its expression - including Love as the destroyer and the often unspoken about darker and kinkier aspects of this cosmic force. Moving forward, I set the intention that we meet Love in forgiveness, for all of the woundings we have experienced in its dance, so that we can continue dancing into right relationship with Love.Click here for the article on repair conversations.Click here for a link to the awakening the sacred body workshop!
We live in a time where so many humans are making choices out of fear. Fear, in many ways, is the antithesis to Love. In the presence of fear, and the separation and disconnection that it creates, Love does not find fertile grounds to plant its seeds. As we watch the unfolding conflict between Russia and Ukraine, this week's episode is an exploration of what it means to find and choose Love in times of war. I explore the deep Lovelessness that makes war and violence possible, and I propose that this time is an invitation into a deeper examination of our own shadows and the places inside of us that we would rather not see.When we witness violence in the world, we are often tempted to step into our moral superiority. To say "I would never choose violence in this way. I'm not like that". In this episode, I share my own shadows with you; the previously unconscious parts of my being that desire violence, control, and domination over others. I invite you into a reflection on the shadows of our collective, and offer the perspective that until we reckon with these shadowy aspects of our human experience we will continue to see them play out on a global (and local) stage.This week's episode is an invitation to look into where our collective unconscious is becoming manifest in the world and to become aware of these dark, shadowy, unconscious aspects of ourselves so that we may begin the work of alchemizing them and making way for new paradigms and ways of being to emerge.
This is the first episode of the third season of Human Becoming. Hoorah! In this episode, I introduce you to some of the themes we'll be moving through in the course of the season. What is the work of Love? How do we walk the path of Love? What even is Love, outside of the romantic, Hollywood notions we've been fed about it? How do we choose Love, in a world that is so fixated on choosing fear? Throughout this episode, I speak about my own experiences of meeting Love. I speak about experiencing Love in relationships, and how that meets my attachment strategy and abandonment trauma. I speak about Love in social justice movements, and how choosing Love is so much deeper than a hippy-dippy notion to prevent us from rocking the boat and stirring the waters. I position Love as revolutionary and Love as a world-changing force. Join me in Love for the world-changing journey we are about to embark on, together.
Welcome to the season finale of human becoming, season two. What a journey we've been on. Through exploring desire and shame, boundaries, pleasure, the erotic, and our darkness, I have become more aware of who I am as a sexual being - and I hope you have too. This final episode is the last transmission that human becoming wants to offer before moving on to season three - which will be all about love! This episode explores what happens in our bodies when we say yes and mean no. I tell the story of my own fawning/moving towards survival strategy and how that has impacted me. I speak about boundary crossings and how we hold the nuance of experiences that are traumatic (and sometimes, in a strange co-occurring way, arousing). This is a very nuanced and complex episode, I am asking you to hold A LOT, but I think it is a worthy listen for anyone who is navigating our current culture of dating, connection, sex, and intimacy.
