Itâs here! The podcast SOME of you have been waiting for ahahah đ¤
Ah no I actually got a good few cute messages about it which make me feel â¨seen⨠and â¨cringe⨠but yknow Iâm actually happy with the episode because I love researching and I love ranting about it, itâs ideal really. Iâm also content that itâs not perfect, it never will be. Great! That means more space to play.
First episode of âTaking the Blissâ is about surviving 19th century Ireland. It explores s*x werk, workhouses, deportations, asylums and more!
Iâd love if ye gave it a listen and a share (I am still figuring out how to get it on more platforms so sorry if itâs not there on the one you use just yet. Iâm just a grown women with incredibly mediocre tech skills) Xx
A familiar rant I go on in many dance related spaces & something I think of often. Itâs not solely with these movements but is a common collective experience!
Thatâs also why ratios of hyper-mobility are so skewed in these places because thereâs been recent research linking neurodivergence and hyper mobility.
Although hypermobility has been known about since like, the 4th century, because it mainly impacts women (particularly WOC) they didnât really give a fck (shocker).
Itâs not exclusive to neurodivergence but this new data coming out suggests the weakening of collagen (that creates the hyper mobility) can be linked to nervous system disregulation, an overactive fight/flight response, issues with bodily introspection- along with the usual genetic assumptions, which are all pretty common for neurodivergent individuals (particularly in this case autism, ADHD and Tourette syndrome). Itâs showing too that people with high anxiety are at a higher risk too. So thatâs fun! đ
If youâre neurodivergent youâre twice as likely to by hyper mobile and itâs even higher if youâre AFAB so⌠look out for that divas xx
The Fox, the Fool and the Hiding of Womenâs Arses - February episode!! đŚ
What starts as a tangled tale of foxes, women and 14th century slut shaming, ends in an ode to closeted bis*xual men and much more.
I talk about the similarities of the Middle Ages s*xual delusions and modern day inc3ls.
I also explore the use of AI to remove (and add) clothing without otherâs consent, the Catholic churchâs financial reasons for celibacy, and the encouraged confusion between sensual desire and control.
You can listen to it now! Itâs probably my most chaotically charged pisode so far hahah xx

â¨EPISODE 5: HOUSE OF PRAYER, PROFITS & PROPAGANDA OUT NOW â¨
On my âTaking the Blissâ podcast đ
Join me on an existential journey (and my longest episode yet!) through my religious childhood marked with memories of Irish Catholic scams, scandals, and sacrilegious curiosity.
Hold my contaminated holy water bottle as I guide you through the House of Prayer for Profits, âGhostâ Writers who talk to God in their mind, visiting Purgatory, saints who fought the devil (and won), and Priests driving brand new BMWs.
Also, how finding silliness in creativity helped me take the seriousness out of life once I realised âoh, youâre not â¨really⨠going to burn in hell for eternityâ, and other emotionally manipulative marketing tactics.
L!nk in b!o to listen, tell all your faves xx
Some movement is better than no movement! đ(even if itâs not particularly captured in anything glamourous)
The wintery months are hard on our physical and mental health and general energy levels so I try to take away some of the obstacles, like the 10-15mins spent BEFORE stretching to set up the space (especially if Iâm just not feeling great. It can be nice to make the space special but sometimes itâs just not in the cards đ¤Ş)
Because, regardless of how it looks, the priority is to feel better and more connected to my bod and breath and every day of that is gonna look and feel different.
Come learn some stretchinâ stuff with me on my P@treon over the winter! âď¸ very beginner friendly!
Itâs sound craic with live classes, tutorials and loads of recordings âŁď¸ L!nk in b!o as always, ok bye love ye bye xxx
I was in the middle of sorting laundry but I had to have a little dance to this sad and enjoyable new Lily Allen tune and album.
My goal for dancing in the next while is just to make movements feel natural again.
New Megan Thee Stallion AND Lily Allen music this week?? Thatâs a pretty big deal in my house xx
