SensuAlchemy School Podcast with Kate Leiper

In Episode 8 of the SensuAlchemy School podcast, Kate illuminates a gaping chasm in the feminist empowerment movement.  The fact is, we as women can vote, earn good money, own a house… hell we may be a freakin’ CEO of an enormous enterprise, and yet it seems for the vast majority of women - true embodied pleasure and vitality escapes us.  Despite the strides we’ve made towards equality;...

If I had one wish for all women, it would be that we could see ourselves as more intrinsically powerful. Women’s relationship to power is riddled with complexity, and in a time in history where the socio-cultural paradigm is being questioned and dismantled at a convincing rate, we need to get real about   how we can love, lead and create in ways that support the reinvention of more just and e...

When it comes to your relationship to your body, particularly if you happen to own a uterus or identify as a woman, the odds are that your sense of self is infused with a very special kind of toxicity that has lived in the bone marrow of your lineage for many, many generations.  You might be familiar with the idea of the good girl complex - but have you considered your inner bad girl?

Welcome to Episode 3 of the SensuAlchemy School podcast! When we become really aware of how our body is speaking to us and through us, it’s common that many facets of our emotions and experiences will surprise us. Today Kate unpacks pleasure through the eyes of grief AND grief through the eyes of pleasure; two different angles that might illuminate why you feel how you feel about these often inten...

In Episode 2 of the SensuAlchemy School podcast, Kate takes you on her own personal journey of complex loss and longing - so personal it’s the stuff of vulnerability hangovers. But at SensuAlchemy School of Embodied Grief & Pleasure, we believe that when women share their stories honestly, shame is released and collective feminine power grows. Kate shares: + Her story growing up internalising...

For many women, the idea of pleasure also awakens a sense of grief. I know it once did for me. There can be an inevitable coupling between a desire to feel free to access and receive pleasure AND a sense of shame, fear, inaccessibility or disempowermen t when it comes to the very same desire. If you can relate to the idea of pleasure being laced with a kind of poison, you are valid in feeling this...
