Podcasts about Persephone

May you have the courage to stand in your own knowing.May you find the grace to let go of striving for perfection, and instead embrace the sacredness of your imperfect, human journey.May luminous moments of optimism and possibility guide you,even as you move through gray times of despair and doubt.May you have the wisdom to choose differently, to prioritize what truly matters,creating a legacy that lingers. May you always find solace in the holy ground beneath your feet,the sacred presence that dwells within and all around you.Shine your light, dear one,your small, precious gifts are needed in this world.Happy Spring Equinox! I hope you are enjoying a gentle leap into a new season. Our own weather has been erratic and wild, including nearby tornadoes that wreaked havoc on our town. And, then, today, as I work on the newsletter, sporadic power outages at our house cutting off my internet. As such, this newsletter will be a little shorter than usual with only a brief audio edition. I've gotten very off schedule this week! Our shop update today is an eclectic one, featuring assorted divine imperfections, “Luna” one-of-a-kind goddesses, and some red winged Nemesis goddesses (by customer request).We also still have assorted goddesses in our very special spring pigment—a beautiful lilac with small flowers. We are using this pigment to honor Áine, the Irish Fairy Queen, who is this year's featured goddess at Gaea Goddess Gathering. We do know that she is a summertime goddess, but we felt like this pigment was an excellent match for the spring equinox/Ostara and our month of Persephone as well, so we went forward with it!This week's magic:* 8 minute video: beholding delight.Resource Reminders:* New free series: An Introduction to Goddess Studies* 1. getting started* 2. printable journal* 3. affirmation card set* 4. portable altar space* 5. introduction to thealogy* 6. influential authors in goddess studies* 7. audio retreat: spots of time (note: publishing Saturday)Blog Posts:* Ritual Reading for Spring Equinox (A Spring Ritual of Returning)* Clarity and the CrossroadsBeholding DelightReminder: Let us be open to delight.

On these dark and cold nights it would seem we have forgotten their purpose. We used to gather around the fire and tell stories, of better and of worse times. Of heroes and myths and monsters. I wish that would come back, so I am participating to the best of my ability. Here you will find a recounting of the Brothers Grimm 'The Golden Bird' and two new Black Forest inspired poems; "She Paints Flowers" inspired by Persephone and "Sentient Shadow" about the phenomenon most commonly called Dog Man.

Today I'm reviewing Girl, Goddess, Queen — a beautifully written retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth that delivers romance, depth, and layered mythology on every page.This novel shines with its immersive worldbuilding, powerful character dynamics, and a fresh take on a classic story. From start to finish, I loved every minute — it's lush, emotional, and absolutely stunning as a modern myth reimagining.If you're a fan of Greek mythology, romantic fantasy, or retellings that balance intensity with tenderness, this one definitely deserves a spot on your TBR.Tune in for my spoiler-free thoughts on why Girl, Goddess, Queen worked so well and why it's one of my favorite myth-inspired reads of the year.

Empezamos a cerrar el año con el evento que históricamente ha sido el más grande para ROH, aunque la sensación es bastante diferente ahora. Alessandro Leonardo (@Cassual54) y Fede Fromhell (@FFromhell) conversan sobre Final Battle, un show bastante bueno, pero un poco muy largo y sin demasiado trasfondo. Se habla de Athena vs Persephone, Bandido defendiendo en Survival of the Fittest, un gran Iron Man Match entre Nigel McGuinness y Lee Moriarty, la primera defensa de Ricochet del título Nacional, Red Velvet venciendo a Mercedes Moné, y mucho más.

This episode takes you through the 1st-floor rooms of the Borghese Gallery in Rome, Italy. It discusses the breathtaking early statues by Gian Lorenzo Bernini - "Aeneas, Anchises, and Ascanius," "Pluto and Persephone," "Apollo and Daphne," and "David," as well as Antonio Canova's sublime Neoclassical "Paolina Bonaparte as Venus Victrix."

In this week's episode of Busy, Gritty, Inked & Witchy, Morgan dives headfirst into the shadows for a highly requested topic: dark goddesses and gods — the powerful, transformative deities that shape-shift your life, burn illusions away, and throw you into the deepest shadow work of your path.

We're re-releasing this powerful conversation with one of my best friends, Layla Martin, as we prepare for our next pilgrimage to Greece in Spring 2026. This episode kicks off our Priestess Pilgrimage series — a journey into the mysteries, medicines, and feminine technologies that shaped entire civilizations. In Part 1, Layla and I explore what it meant to walk as a priestess, why words like witch and oracle were once titles of honor, and how ancient rituals using breath, trance, plants, and embodied worship were designed to help humans experience the divine directly. We also share why tens of thousands of people once traveled to Eleusis to transform their relationship with death — and why those same technologies are rising again now. If you've ever felt the pull toward deeper remembrance, this episode is a doorway. In this episode, we explore: •The true meaning of “High Priestess” — beyond trend, beyond aesthetic •Why the ancient “witch” was simply the wise woman and spiritual leader • How Eleusis became the epicenter of direct divine experience • The connection between plant medicine and early mystical Christianity • Why embodied spirituality threatens systems of control • The Persephone descent as a map for healing and power • How reclamation impacts love, sex, creativity, body image & sovereignty • The very real, very human moments of pilgrimage (including the porta potty initiation) Key Moments: [00:01] High priestesses & the origins of plant medicine as sacrament [00:56] Why Emily & Layla created their own priestess pilgrimage [02:40] Witch, wise woman, priestess — reclaiming the lineage [05:06] What it means to hold spiritual authority in your own body [07:02] How patriarchy severed women from the divine [08:05] The “religion with no name” — nature, cosmos, direct experience [09:41] The Eleusinian Mysteries & dying before you die [12:01] The ingredients, codes & hidden teachings of the Kaikion [15:11] Plant medicine, sovereignty & why it threatened empire [17:18] The psychological impact of remembering your divinity [20:03] Inside the descent myth of Persephone & Demeter [23:52] The moment the pilgrimage became hilariously human Layla Martin — Founder of the VITA Method, teacher of Tantra, sexuality, emotional mastery, and spiritual awakening.

It's the finale of our Wheel of the Year series, we're diving into Mabon aka pagan Friendsgiving and the autumn equinox. We chat about why this sabbat feels like a second, decolonized Thanksgiving: feasting, gratitude, gathering with our people, but without the gross history. We riff on root veggies, delicata squash, Tofurky loyalty, molasses cookies, and apple crisps as actual rituals, not just vibes.We also explore how Mabon is all about balance, slowing down, and abundance that sticks from brown sugar and molasses magic to running in crisp air as moving meditation. Then we get delightfully nerdy about pentacles in the apple core, Persephone's pomegranate seeds, and how pomegranate juice can stand in for blood in spell work.Join our Patreon for bonus episodes, magical downloads, and unhinged side quests: https://www.patreon.com/demystifymagicPre-order Molly's book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff DonePreorder Mundane Magic & Join the Virtual Book Tour⁠: Celebrate the release of Molly's new book with an exclusive online event on Feb 21, 12 PM EST.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Yvonne Blomer about her stunning narrative poetry, Death of Persephone: A Murder (Caitlin Press, 2024). In Death of Persephone, the patriarchal myth of the maiden taken, raped, and made the potent and sexualized queen of the underworld is questioned, altered, flipped. Instead, we have Stephanie, a girl of seven, taken and raised by her Uncle H. who is obsessed by her, tries to control her, to keep her, to have her even as she blooms out from underneath him. In poems both lyrical and narrative, a woman paints Hecate on a building, a Hyacinth Macaw flies overhead, a detective bumbles from crime to crime. This is a city with a vast underground where bats hang and paperwhites bloom, a city where men still rule. Who sees what, who will pay, and who will survive in this ancient story altered at the core? About Yvonne Blomer: Yvonne Blomer is the author of the critically acclaimed poetry collections The Last Show on Earth (Caitlin Press, 2022) and As if a Raven (Palimpsest Press, 2015) as well as the travel memoir Sugar Ride: Cycling from Hanoi to Kuala Lumpur (Palimpsest Press, 2017). Blomer served as the city of Victoria poet laureate from 2015 to 2018. Through poetry, she has raised awareness for the plight of the Pacific Ocean and its ecology. She is the creator and editor of Refugium: Poems for the Pacific (Caitlin Press, 2017), the first in a trilogy of water-based poetry anthologies that was followed by Sweet Water: Poems for the Watershed (Caitlin Press, 2020). She was the Artistic Director for the weekly Planet Earth Poetry series and edited the anthology Poems for Planet Earth. Yvonne recently edited Hologram: Homage to P.K. Page (Caitlin Press, 2023). She has been longlisted for the CBC Poetry Prize and shortlisted for the Montreal Poetry Prize and the Troubadour International Poetry Prize and won the Gwendolyn MacEwen Poetry Prize for Death of Persephone. She has performed at reading series and festivals in cities across the country and has had poems published in Canada, the UK and Japan. Yvonne lives, works and raises her family on the traditional territories of the WSÁNEĆ (Saanich), Lkwungen (Songhees), Wyomilth (Esquimalt) peoples of the Coast Salish Nation.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Yvonne Blomer about her stunning narrative poetry, Death of Persephone: A Murder (Caitlin Press, 2024). In Death of Persephone, the patriarchal myth of the maiden taken, raped, and made the potent and sexualized queen of the underworld is questioned, altered, flipped. Instead, we have Stephanie, a girl of seven, taken and raised by her Uncle H. who is obsessed by her, tries to control her, to keep her, to have her even as she blooms out from underneath him. In poems both lyrical and narrative, a woman paints Hecate on a building, a Hyacinth Macaw flies overhead, a detective bumbles from crime to crime. This is a city with a vast underground where bats hang and paperwhites bloom, a city where men still rule. Who sees what, who will pay, and who will survive in this ancient story altered at the core? About Yvonne Blomer: Yvonne Blomer is the author of the critically acclaimed poetry collections The Last Show on Earth (Caitlin Press, 2022) and As if a Raven (Palimpsest Press, 2015) as well as the travel memoir Sugar Ride: Cycling from Hanoi to Kuala Lumpur (Palimpsest Press, 2017).

May you have the courage to stand in your own knowing.May you find the grace to let go of striving for perfection, and instead embrace the sacredness of your imperfect, human journey.May luminous moments of optimism and possibility guide you,even as you move through gray times of despair and doubt.May you have the wisdom to choose differently, to prioritize what truly matters,creating a legacy that lingers. May you always find solace in the holy ground beneath your feet,the sacred presence that dwells within and all around you.Shine your light, dear one,your small, precious gifts are needed in this world.Happy Spring Equinox! I hope you are enjoying a gentle leap into a new season. Our own weather has been erratic and wild, including nearby tornadoes that wreaked havoc on our town. And, then, today, as I work on the newsletter, sporadic power outages at our house cutting off my internet. As such, this newsletter will be a little shorter than usual with only a brief audio edition. I've gotten very off schedule this week! Our shop update today is an eclectic one, featuring assorted divine imperfections, “Luna” one-of-a-kind goddesses, and some red winged Nemesis goddesses (by customer request).We also still have assorted goddesses in our very special spring pigment—a beautiful lilac with small flowers. We are using this pigment to honor Áine, the Irish Fairy Queen, who is this year's featured goddess at Gaea Goddess Gathering. We do know that she is a summertime goddess, but we felt like this pigment was an excellent match for the spring equinox/Ostara and our month of Persephone as well, so we went forward with it!This week's magic:* 8 minute video: beholding delight.Resource Reminders:* New free series: An Introduction to Goddess Studies* 1. getting started* 2. printable journal* 3. affirmation card set* 4. portable altar space* 5. introduction to thealogy* 6. influential authors in goddess studies* 7. audio retreat: spots of time (note: publishing Saturday)Blog Posts:* Ritual Reading for Spring Equinox (A Spring Ritual of Returning)* Clarity and the CrossroadsBeholding DelightReminder: Let us be open to delight.

Tara Erickson & Aaron Alexander react to The Matrix Reloaded (2003), the high-octane sci-fi action sequel from visionary filmmakers Lana & Lilly Wachowski (The Matrix, Cloud Atlas, Sense8). The second chapter in the groundbreaking cyberpunk saga pushes the limits of reality, philosophy, and visual effects — expanding the mythology that redefined modern cinema. Keanu Reeves (John Wick, Speed) returns as Neo, the prophesied “One” caught between destiny and doubt as he continues his fight to free humanity from the machine world. Carrie-Anne Moss (Memento, Jessica Jones) reprises her role as the fierce and loyal Trinity, while Laurence Fishburne (John Wick: Chapter 4, Apocalypse Now) commands the screen once again as Morpheus, searching for the elusive Keymaker to unlock humanity's salvation. The film also features Hugo Weaving (V for Vendetta, Lord of the Rings Trilogy) as the ever-duplicating Agent Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith (Gotham, Set It Off) as Niobe, Monica Bellucci (Spectre, Malèna) as the alluring Persephone, and Lambert Wilson (The Serpent, Cat Run 2) as the enigmatic Merovingian. Iconic and highly searched moments include the epic freeway chase, Neo's gravity-defying Burly Brawl against hundreds of Agent Smiths, the Zion dance sequence, the Keymaker's introduction, and the Architect's mind-bending revelation. Combining philosophical depth with revolutionary visual effects, The Matrix Reloaded stands as one of the most ambitious action sequels ever made — a film that expanded the universe and reshaped the boundaries of sci-fi storytelling.

It was such a pleasure to get to know Nicola Roberts during this episode.Nicola, who is currently starring as Persephone in the West End production of the musical Hadestown at the Lyric Theatre joined me for the best chat where she really opened up about what it was like being judged for her appearance in her Girls Aloud Days and how she has learnt to truly love and accept herself.We talk about relationships, feelign positive about ageing and also about how she looks after her sensitive skin. After our recording Nicola was off to do an event with Aveeno who she has been working with to promote their really beautiful new Age Renewal Range which is really gentle but powerful. Their entire campaign is about ageing gratefully and Nicola is the face of it. As you can imagine, this is totally up my street and I enjoyed learning more about this too.All in all, this is a great episode and it was lovely to get to meet a woman who has really taken control of her career and life in the best and most inspiring way possible.

After 20 years in business, I hit a wall. I was jaded, uninspired, planning to retire at 45, and spending 600 hours playing Stardew Valley to escape. Something had to change.In this deeply personal episode, I share the transformative journey that brought me back to life - from resolving primitive reflexes that expanded my nervous system capacity, to discovering the healing power of forgiveness, to reclaiming the intuitive healer I'd lost along the way.This isn't your typical business growth story. This is about doing the inner work that makes the outer work possible.Bonus:See Birthday Boy Shosta's Special Photo here!What You'll Learn:[00:00:00] Introduction: Recognizing when you've lost your spark[00:10:00] The planning app addiction cycle and why control feels comforting[00:16:00] The turning point: Discouragement needs courage, disheartment needs heart[00:21:00] Why I kept a "dead to me" list—and how forgiveness changed everything[00:33:00] Breath work: Expanding nervous system capacity beyond just "doing less"[00:38:00] GAME CHANGER: Unresolved primitive reflexes and neurodivergence[00:50:00] Going from non-verbal after social events to doing 4-hour coaching calls[00:56:00] Re-remembering my intuitive, healer self after years of survival mode[01:06:00] The reality of postnatal depression and neurodivergent motherhood[01:13:00] Why self-care isn't selfish—it's how you fill your well[01:15:00] Healing from being trolled and removing the invisibility cloak[01:22:00] The shadow side of fame: When strangers feel entitled to abuse you[01:31:00] Learning to hold the duality: Success comes with blessings AND challenges[01:39:00] Embracing experiments over perfection in your business[01:44:00] Growing beyond black and white thinking (hardest lesson ever)[01:51:00] Being in right relationship with clients—no guru energy[01:56:00] The Persephone cycle: Descending to the underworld and rising againKey Takeaways:✨ Your nervous system capacity isn't fixed—you can actually expand it through breath work and resolving primitive reflexes (especially crucial for neurodivergent entrepreneurs)✨ Forgiveness isn't about inviting people back into your life—it's about releasing the weight of grudges that armor your heart✨ The inner work isn't separate from the outer work—unresolved trauma and limiting beliefs are the boulders blocking your business growth✨ You can be magnetic AND polarizing—dimming your light to avoid criticism serves no oneResources Mentioned:David Elliott's breath work meditationsDr. Sharon Williams, Chiropractor (Canberra) for primitive reflex workGretchen Rubin's Four TendenciesHuman Design (1-3 and 3-6 profiles)If you're feeling burnt out, uninspired, or like you've lost your creative spark, this episode is your permission slip to do the deep inner work that changes everything.#PodcastEpisode #InnerWork #Burnout #NeurodivergentEntrepreneur #BusinessGrowth #HealingJourney #PrimitiveReflexes #BreathWork #Forgiveness #OnlineBusiness #WomenInBusiness #EntrepreneurMindset #SelfDevelopment #PersonalGrowth #AutismInBusiness #ADHDEntrepreneur #NervousSystemHealing #TraumaHealing #BusinessCoaching #SpiritualEntrepreneur #CreativeEntrepreneur #BurnoutRecovery #MentalHealthMatters #SelfCare #Authenticity #Visibility #WomenEntrepreneurs #OnlineBusinessOwner #MindsetWorkSubscribe & Review: If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe and leave a 5-star review—it helps other women find these conversations when they need them most.

What happens when you stop analyzing the eighth house and start walking into it? We invite you into a guided descent—part myth, part meditation—through sex, death, shared resources, and the hidden currents that shape intimacy and power. Recorded close to midnight, this journey leans on feeling more than theory, letting the night world rewrite how we meet fear, trust, and desire.We unpack the anxiety around “empty houses” by showing why no house is truly empty and how the cusp and its ruler speak volumes. From there, we cross the threshold with stories: Persephone pulled below, Inanna choosing the descent, Hercules learning that force fails underground, and Orpheus softening the gates with song. Each myth becomes a method for real life—how to let go, how to be guided, how to bring music to heavy doors. Along the way we visit the Necromanteion, an ancient temple of the dead, and reflect on ancestor contact as a form of practical divination.This house is where intimacy strips our persona, where shared finances and entanglements test honesty, and where the body's quiet signals tell the truth before our minds can. We explore Reich and Freud on eros and death to ask whether life force is fighting an enemy or simply frees itself when we stop blocking it. Paradoxically, by facing mortality we recover appetite—a warm, steady desire to be here now. And when we come back up, the ninth house opens with clearer meaning because we earned our perspective below.If you're ready to feel into the eighth—beyond clichés and fear—press play, bring a journal, and let a slower rhythm lead.

This week, Joanne welcomes Ellen Zachos, author of 11 books on plants, including her latest, Mythic Plants: Potions and Poisons from the Gardens of the Gods. About Ellen A Harvard graduate, Ellen's first career was on Broadway (Les Miz), but the gift of a peace lily on opening night opened her eyes to the wonderful world of plants. Ellen taught at the New York Botanical Garden for many years and also served as Coordinator of the Gardening Department in Continuing Ed, before moving to Santa Fe, NM. She was named a Great American Gardener by the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival. Her 11th book, Mythic Plants: Potions & Poisons from the Gardens of the Gods, was published this year. Inspiration & Research Grew from Ellen's Greek heritage and lifelong love of mythology and plants. Greek mythology felt personally significant; she wasn't drawn to Norse or Indian myths. Extensive research across historical texts; citations couldn't fit in the print book, but are available online. Plant Stories & Mythology Connections Nepenthe (Poppy): In Homer's Odyssey, Helen of Troy prepared Nepenthe—an "anti-sorrow" drink of wine and opium poppy. Calmed grief temporarily. Linnaeus later named the tropical pitcher plant Nepenthes after this myth, believing its beauty could lift sorrow. Moly (Snowdrop): Hermes gave Odysseus "Moly" to protect him from Circe's spells. Described as a plant with black roots and white flowers—likely the snowdrop (Galanthus). Contains galantamine, which counters hallucinations—aligning with the myth's antidote effect. Modern research explores galantamine for Alzheimer's treatment. Fig: Valued food in ancient Greece, consumed fresh or dried before refrigeration existed. Special laws governed fig harvesting; penalties for theft were severe. Ancient figs required complex pollination (caprification). Some myths surrounding figs are notably "saucy." Pine Tree: Associated with violent origin myths, but also practical uses. Pine nuts were a staple food; pine resin sealed wine vessels, the origin of Retsina wine. Modern Retsina has a milder pine flavour, enjoyed especially in Greek summer settings. Aconitum (Monkshood): Misunderstood as poisonous to touch—false. Dangerous only if ingested. Blooms beautifully when few others do; it is resistant to deer and rabbits. Ellen wishes for a "Plant Mythbusters" show to debunk misinformation about plant toxicity. Daffodil (Narcissus): Linked to the myth of Narcissus falling in love with his reflection. Also central to the Persephone story, Zeus created a daffodil to lure her before Hades abducted her. Explains the origin of winter and spring cycles through Demeter's grief and renewal. Themes & Insights Plants in Greek mythology were deeply symbolic, medicinal, and magical. Many ancient uses align with modern scientific knowledge. The book groups plants thematically into short, easy-to-read chapters, ideal for bedtime or book clubs. Appeals to gardeners, historians, herbalists, and mythology enthusiasts. Ellen's Life & Work Today Now based in Santa Fe with a small, fully edible garden. Enjoys discovering new drought-tolerant plants in a vastly different climate. Former rooftop gardener in New York City; designed and maintained terrace gardens. Also teaches and speaks across the U.S.—including the upcoming Herb Society of America Conference in Texas (April). Other popular books: How to Forage for Wild Foods Without Dying, Backyard Foraging, The Wildcrafted Cocktail, The Forager's Pantry. Advocates for safe, informed foraging and appreciation of wild edibles. Mythic Plants features beautiful botanical illustrations by Lisel Ashlock. Mythic Plants makes a great gift and is available on Amazon! Find Ellen Zachos on Instagram.

May you have the courage to stand in your own knowing.May you find the grace to let go of striving for perfection, and instead embrace the sacredness of your imperfect, human journey.May luminous moments of optimism and possibility guide you,even as you move through gray times of despair and doubt.May you have the wisdom to choose differently, to prioritize what truly matters,creating a legacy that lingers. May you always find solace in the holy ground beneath your feet,the sacred presence that dwells within and all around you.Shine your light, dear one,your small, precious gifts are needed in this world.Happy Spring Equinox! I hope you are enjoying a gentle leap into a new season. Our own weather has been erratic and wild, including nearby tornadoes that wreaked havoc on our town. And, then, today, as I work on the newsletter, sporadic power outages at our house cutting off my internet. As such, this newsletter will be a little shorter than usual with only a brief audio edition. I've gotten very off schedule this week! Our shop update today is an eclectic one, featuring assorted divine imperfections, “Luna” one-of-a-kind goddesses, and some red winged Nemesis goddesses (by customer request).We also still have assorted goddesses in our very special spring pigment—a beautiful lilac with small flowers. We are using this pigment to honor Áine, the Irish Fairy Queen, who is this year's featured goddess at Gaea Goddess Gathering. We do know that she is a summertime goddess, but we felt like this pigment was an excellent match for the spring equinox/Ostara and our month of Persephone as well, so we went forward with it!This week's magic:* 8 minute video: beholding delight.Resource Reminders:* New free series: An Introduction to Goddess Studies* 1. getting started* 2. printable journal* 3. affirmation card set* 4. portable altar space* 5. introduction to thealogy* 6. influential authors in goddess studies* 7. audio retreat: spots of time (note: publishing Saturday)Blog Posts:* Ritual Reading for Spring Equinox (A Spring Ritual of Returning)* Clarity and the CrossroadsBeholding DelightReminder: Let us be open to delight.

In this episode of Book Talk for BookTok, we interview #1 New York Times bestselling romantasy author Abigail Owen to discuss her new release, The Things Gods Break — the spellbinding sequel to The Games Gods Play. This mythic romantasy series reimagines Titan mythology through a darkly emotional lens, blending ancient lore, forbidden love, and fate versus free will into a story that feels both epic and deeply personal. Abigail shares how she built her modern Hades and Persephone–inspired world, reshaping familiar gods and Titans into complex, morally gray characters. We talk about how The Things Gods Break expands the universe of The Games Gods Play, what secrets from the first book take on new meaning, and how she balances destiny with consequence in her storytelling. For fans of romantasy podcasts, fantasy author interviews, and BookTok-favorite series with heart, heat, and mythology, this conversation dives into the craft and emotional depth behind one of today's most compelling voices in fantasy romance.

WelcomeHello, Lovelies. It's Juliette here, and today I am joined by the extraordinary Sevda Hussain. Sevda's story is one of resilience, rebellion, and deep embodiment. From a childhood marked by abandonment to three decades in the adult industry, she discovered confidence, self-love, and the truth of living as art itself. In this conversation, we move through Persephone's underworld, into the light of dark luxury, embodiment, plus-size confidence, and the power of daring to stand fully in your truth.Episode Summary In this episode, Sevda and I walk through her extraordinary journey, a life she describes as much like Persephone, the queen of the underworld. From being left in hospital at birth and moving through over a hundred foster homes by the age of three, to three decades in the adult industry, Sevda shares how her path into the shadows taught her self-love, embodiment, and confidence as a plus-size woman. We speak about sex work as a form of therapy, the myths around desirability, and how women can dare to believe their truth. Sevda also opens up about her work in dark luxury branding, helping women not just look like art but become it, and how she continues to channel her rebel spirit into creativity, poetry, and embodiment.Key Takeaways Life Like PersephoneSevda describes her journey through abandonment, foster care, and the adult industry as a path much like Persephone, moving through the underworld to find power, beauty, and truth.Embodiment Over ImageConfidence is not about how a photo looks. It is about whether you can keep showing up in your embodiment, again and again.Curves Are DesiredThe myth that only thin women are wanted is conditioning. Desire lives in curves, softness, and truth. BBW sex work revealed what women have been taught to deny.Dark Luxury BrandingSevda creates intuitive branding that turns women into art itself. Not performance, not façade, but embodiment made visible.Rebellion as TruthBeing called a rebel is not defiance for its own sake. It is daring to challenge systems, conditioning, and shame. The real rebellion is standing in your truth.Resources and Links

This one goddess influenced millennia of religious and cultural history, possibly extending even to Persephone and the Virgin Mary.MOREPersephone: Queen of the UnderworldSex Work in Pompeii with Kate ListerPresented by Tristan Hughes.
