Siren: A podcast about sex and motherhoodAuthor: Blaire Lindsay Houghton
Can motherhood be a portal to deepened sexuality? Can our sexual aliveness serve the path of motherhood? Why are they so separate? When I became a mom, I realized these two parts of me can't be separated because the fullness of who I am encompasses both my mothering and my erotic self. This podcast is here to explore how deeply linked motherhood and sex truly are; how they serve one another and how motherhood can usher in new depths of sexual awakening and vitality. It's a deep dive into what it means to be both a mother and a sexual woman; as I navigate my own journey in real time.

Mold as a Messenger
Monday, 30 September, 2024
As some of you may know, this last year I've been on a deep physical and spiritual journey with mold. What a ride it has been. Challenging, illuminating, and transformative, I consider my journey with mold to be an initiation unlike any other I've experienced. Many women - especially postpartum women - are struggling with health issues and depletion. I made this podcast episode with all of us in mind, not only those of us dealing with mold. In the episode, I relay basic information about mold: how one might identify it; test for it; recover from it. Perhaps more importantly though, I talk about the soul growth this experience offered me and how its medicine- the medicine of decline and decay - may be important medicine for our times and how women may just be the canaries in the coal mine. I speak about: -self trust and standing for what we KNOW -the difficulties of living in a world that trumps feeling and prioritizes thinking -the story my body is telling me through burnout and depletion -the body as the deepest layer of the unconscious -when we can't symbolize our personal hardships, we somatize them -our cultural stories around rest and self-worth -the symbol of the Siren as a woman who can traverse the unconscious -depression and 'going down' -working with our dreams
