🔥 April Week 2: Pleasure, Shame & Rebellion
This Week’s Theme: Shame, Bodies & Full-Frontal Rebellion
💌 Welcome to Your Weekly Reclamation
Hey babe,
This week inside The Ember Vault, we’re getting personal with the parts of us that were told to shrink, stay quiet, or disappear altogether.
We’re talking:
Fatphobia, ableism, and racist beauty scripts
How neurodivergent bodies got left out of the sexual narrative
Why pleasure isn’t just healing—it’s rebellion
This post is your space to reflect, laugh, scream into the void (or the comments), and rebuild connection to the body that shame tried to evict you from.
Below, you’ll find three exclusive reflection activities—designed only for Ember Vault members—and at the end, a link to grab your companion worksheet for this week’s podcast episodes.
Let’s fuck up shame’s week, shall we?
Let’s Talk About the Body Rules You’re Breaking
What’s one belief you were taught about your body, identity, or desire that you now know is complete and utter nonsense?
Extra credit if it came from:
A teen magazine
Health class
That one aunt who never shut up about carbs
Drop your rebellion in the comments. Let’s start the week loud. 💋
If Your Thighs Could Talk…
Imagine your thighs got a mic and a spotlight.
What would they say to diet culture? Gym teachers? Weird exes?
Write your sassiest, sexiest, or most sentimental message from the part of your body that’s been told to shrink.
Poetic? Perfect.
Petty? Even better.
Personal? Always welcome.
Shame Scripts + Your Next Move
It’s time to get curious about the B.S. shame still whispers.
What shame script still sneaks into your head?
What would shift in your life if your body stopped apologizing?
Not just in words—but in posture, breath, presence.
Imagine what becomes possible when you don’t shrink first.
Drop your vision in the comments. Let’s start building it.
