Is our conception of modern Fitness really just a colonizers long game plan for everyone to look like an old British white man from the 1800s? It might be. Move over Goop an old timey British man already cornered the market. Join me for one of my favorite conversations yet. Do I say that about everyone? They’re all so great, but this book was everything I’m interested in, and more, which means, I hope it’s everything that you’re interested in. We touch on so many topics. We’re definitely going to have Conor back on. How did we only briefly touch on yoga’s rough lineage?.. because it would have been a three hour podcast if we had!

Today I’m speaking with author and self described public intellectual (now my new career goal) Sophie Lewis about her book Enemy Feminisms which is out now in paperback BUT ALSO she has a NEW book of essays which just came out called Femmephilia - which you can order here.

This is an absolutely riveting conversation for anyone out there who calls themselves a Feminist. Get ready to lose your monocle and let go of some of your feminist icons. Sophie is ripping the band-aid off so much of glossed over Feminist history, our perception of how liberated women came to be, and introduces us to some truly incredible characters; replete with costume changes, perpetual monocles and irreconcilable droves of ‘savages’ who carry them about. It’s a fascinating ride through our history of leaning in, out and all over the place. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did! You can buy Enemy Feminisms HERE

Todays Episode:

I'm so thrilled to share this episode with returning guest Susanna Crossman! If you missed our first conversation on her incredible memoir, Home is Where We Start, listen to it here. Since then, I've visited Susanna and her family in Brittany, become fast friends, and I'm delighted to share her newest book, a work of fiction, The Orange Notebooks. This is a powerful conversation on processing grief, love, and making space for these huge experiences in a world that has long since abandoned the communal rituals that used to contain them. Life does leave it’s mark on us, The Orange Notebooks beautifully describes this and leaves us battered but better for it. You can read an extract of the book here: Electric Literature: Order The Orange Notebooks in the US here You can find more about Susanna, including her writing mentorship here Follow her for more updates on her work and workshops on IG
