24.01.2022 People very rarely try and correct you when you're telling your own story. People believe what you're telling them about yourself. If you tell your story apologetically, this is what people believe of your story - that you don't trust yourself. So tell them the story that you back yourself, and they will too. If you have to power pose that story into being, then do it!

23.01.2022 I am on the Board of PartnerSPEAK, one of the few organisations in the world that supports and advocates for the partners and affected families of the perpetrators of online child sexual abuse. It's so important that we are as informed as we can be, despite how harrowing it is to fully comprehend this landscape. Our children need us to be this informed so we can protect them.

20.01.2022 I love this image. It sums up who I’m trying to get back to who I want to be, and maybe who I started off being before I got rerouted into hierarchical, patriarchal systems that underpin almost all of the institutions and structures I interact with every day. My feminism is many things, but because of my connection to the earth, and because of my ecofeminist mother (we didn’t know that’s what she was/is, she just was/is), I’ve always had a strong affinity with ecofeminism. ...(Ecofeminism is the combination of feminism and environmentalism, born out of the view that a long historical precedent of associating women with nature has led to the oppression of both.) Maybe I just need to chuck those leaves in my hair and let some magic fly from my fingers at my next strategy meeting at work? Who am I NOT to embody all the parts of me that make me extraordinary? I’m sure my co-workers will cope.

20.01.2022 GIRLS ARE COMING OUT OF THE WOODS by Tishani Doshi Girls are coming out of the woods,... wrapped in cloaks and hoods, carrying iron bars and candles and a multitude of scars, collected on acres of premature grass and city buses, in temples and bars. Girls are coming out of the woods with panties tied around their lips, making such a noise, it's impossible to hear. Is the world speaking too? Is it really asking, what does it mean to give someone a proper resting? Girls are coming out of the woods, lifting their broken legs high, leaking secrets from unfastened thighs, all the lies whispered by strangers and swimming coaches, and uncles, especially uncles, who said spreading would be light and easy, who put bullets in their chests and fed their pretty faces to fire, who sucked the mud clean off their ribs, and decorated their coffins with brier. Girls are coming out of the woods, clearing the ground to scatter their stories. Even those girls found naked in ditches and wells, those forgotten in neglected attics, and buried in river beds like sediments from a different century. They've crawled their way out from behind curtains of childhood, the silver-pink weight of their bodies pushing against water, against the sad, feathered tarnish of remembrance. Girls are coming out of the woods the way birds arrive at morning windows - pecking and humming, until all you can hear is the smash of their minuscule hearts against the glass, the bright desperation of sound - bashing, disappearing. Girls are coming out of the woods. They're coming. They're coming. See more

19.01.2022 There is so much healing that can occur in our Shadow side. There is so much power in opposites. The Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine. Light and Dark. Courage and Fear. When we allow ourselves to be truly whole, the depth of our authenticity can heal both ourselves, and those around us.

18.01.2022 ‘Men keep murdering women and people keep acting shocked.’

11.01.2022 This is the stuff that will save the earth. When we are safe to express our Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine in ways that give us balance, the world will also start to find balance. Our binary, patriarchal definitions and systems won't survive this. This new generation of kids who embrace and understand gender fluidity will show us the way. This really fills me with hope and joy.

10.01.2022 I started life in an in-between place. Not quite Italian, not really Australian. Not Australian like my friends were. I had left-over Italian meatballs in my lunchbox and ate gnocchi every weekend at my Nonna’s house, but I couldn’t speak Italian, and I could sense my father’s discomfort with his Italian-ness, so it wasn’t celebrated either. We didn’t make tomato sugo or stomp on grapes or sing. We never went to football games or ate meat pies. I suppose it was confusing. It... was just my life. But there was a disconnect I could feel. It would come and go, come and go; tiny waves beating on my skin, exposing the nerves underneath. When you add sexual abuse and PTSD, I think that disconnect sort of unplugged my feet from the ground. No country for me. Not even my body was a comforting place to be. So I resided in my head. Sometimes I even thought of myself as just a giant head, floating through the world with no tether. Maybe there’s a freedom in that. I never felt it. Only trees connected me to the ground - enormous ones, whose colossal trunks whispered to me of roots so limitless it made me weep. Still I am finding my country. And still the trees bring me home.

07.01.2022 Welcome to Wise Women Rising. My name is Simonne and I'm a Wise Woman, a feminist, a writer, a healer, and a clairsentient empath. I’m also a mother and a cat lover. I’ve been doing Ho’olokahi Numerology readings for many years and had the privilege of being taught by the man who coined the name of this system in Hawaii. I studied advanced energetic crystal healing under Rachelle Charman. I’m also a qualified Swedish Masseuse, Reiki Practitioner, I have an Arts Degree, I was ...a bodybuilder, I'm a fundraising professional but really, what I excel at - what my Life Purpose is - is to work with the Feminine energy and to assist people in healing wounds from the abuse of our feminine power. I am a sexual abuse survivor and after two decades of deep, self-work, have found a divine level of sexual and personal intimacy I never thought possible through the fog of guilt and shame that abuse survivors carry. I could not be happier to be stepping into my Wise Woman years, having found my way to this level of intimacy, and at this time on the planet. The Feminine power is rising; all of us are affected by this, and it’s the Wise Women, the Crones, who hold the memory of what is past, and offer the strength for the way forward. Patriarchal power structures are being challenged. Mother Earth is on fire. And so many of us are being called to assist in this change. But first we must start with ourselves. It’s not as hard as I seemed to need to make it when I was younger. It’s about trust with yourself first, and then with others. See more

06.01.2022 I'm a bisexual woman who uses the pronoun she/her. Being bisexual has often presented me with some significant social challenges and barriers, but getting a hair cut has never been one of them. This poem is really good.
