The Power of 3 songs
Story time on how we got swallowed up by the patriarchal grind culture WHILE living together. The stage was set for nothing short of a juicy start to the new year.
We had a lot stacked in our favor:
🖤 Claire and Sara living in Austin
🖤 Together in the same house
🖤 Sleeping a few feet from the woman who I’ve co-taught how to live a turned on life to hundreds of women
🖤 Two women who probably have enough pleasure tools in our toolkit to end war
🖤 Two women who know and practice feminine leadership principles
🖤 Two women who are well aware of the dangers of the grind
3 Months Later and here’s our report card: 🖤 We’ve numbed out together - crushed
Perfect Match in like 4 days
🖤 We’ve operated like overwhelmed zombies & ships passing in the night
🖤 I literally found myself apologizing for sitting on the couch the other day when Claire walked in - just apologizing for my existence, low key, nbd
🖤 We’ve good-girled each other around the house - keeping the place super clean instead of just being beautiful messy and free
🖤 We’ve attempted to plan a retreat during a conversation that was dry of pleasure and couldn't land on time of year, city or length of the retreat - hmm wonder why?
Enter: the power of 3 songs.
The other night it all shifted. We played 3 songs: a rage song, a grief song, then a turn on song. We screamed, cried, and danced to the music.
When we finished the swamp I said to Claire “You know that feeling when you haven’t had sex in a while and then you finally have it and you’re like god damn what have I been doing with my time and why hasn’t it been this?” It was just like that.
Those 3 songs returned us home to ourselves and restored us to the life force energy that had been dimmed. It’s only in moments of clarity like this that we can sit back and diagnose what the hell had happened. How did we end up here? Two goddesses who know the tools so well? Who know the antidotes?
If it can happen to us, it can happen to anyone. The irony is that I’ve created a life of alignment in so many ways that I thought it was grind culture proof. Even in the most dreamy work environments, living arrangements, new cities… it slips through the cracks and can be poisonous if left unidentified. So we resolved to a 2 week challenge “The Power of 3 Songs”. We’re going to play 3 songs a day to plug us back into ourselves, our turn on and our life force energy. Want to join us?
PS- Within I kidd you not MINUTES after ending the swamp, we had the date, location and main activities of our retreat planned . So stay tuned for the save the date.
XO,
Sara
