	Description:		Felicia traces a lineage of women who never rested grandmother, mother, herself—and the moment she burned down a “perfect” life to make space for truth. This is a tender, feral meditation on rest, eros, and the inner girl who only appears when she’s loved. A rebel’s theology of transformation, usable, embodied, a little dangerous. Episode Highlights The women who never sat down: inherited hustle, tender pride, and the cost of being “good.” The pedestal and the cage: how “perfect wife/mother” scripts sanctify our exhaustion. On virgin myths and hidden bodies: why purity culture tries to sterilize the erotic. The fire moment: choosing truth over optics and watching the old house burn. Meeting the inner fairy: rescuing the malnourished self from the cave. Rest as resistance: moving from self-betrayal to self-belonging. Boundaries as mercy; desire as compass; devotion as daily, embodied practice. Mary Magdalene’s subversive gospel: the treasure is within; rules without love are cages. Learning to be seen without apologizing—and the holy art of posting, deleting, and trying again. What it means to mother four souls while re-mothering yourself. Who this episode is for Women who are tired of being the exhibit of “having it all,” mothers who feel guilty for wanting more, ex-good girls, and anyone ready to trade performance for presence. Listener Takeaways A simple reframe: “I don’t need to be better; I need to belong to myself.” A mini-practice for rest you’ll actually do (bath, sun, nap, movement, kiss, post, delete, try again). One permission slip: Your desire isn’t the problem, it’s the map. Get full access to Her Mother Tongue at hermothertongue.substack.com/subscribe
