Our words matter. They create our stories. Our stories create the lenses through which we see ourselves and others and how we navigate our lives. From the moment we come into the world, words and stories are shared with us. They come from family, caregivers, educators, friends, peers, colleagues, community leaders, art and the world wide web. When we are wee humans, we absorb words and stories like sponges which ideally help us take shape into loved and loving, open, curious and resilient humans. Yum. In real life, unfortunately, many of us are raised on a legacy of shit-sandwich recipes to guide us into being that guarantee that if we follow these recipes we will find joy and fulfillment. The unspoken disclaimer, however, is if we don’t find joy and fulfillment, it’s not the recipe that was handed down to us, it’s us. We are left ignored, eating shit sandwiches smothered in the sticky, secret sauces of shame and fear. Not Yum. Why Vulva Shots? What specific thoughts and feelings AUTOMATICALLY come up for you when you hear the word Vulva? Uncomfortable? Disgusted? Surprise and laughter? Curiosity? For me, this is the work of decoding and reprogramming the stories we've been conditioned to believe about who we are meant to BE: developing the practice of pausing and asking myself "What is the story I hear?" "Is it true?" "Is it mine?" For those who are doing THE WORK of changing, healing, growing, learning, click play and join us with your own "decoder ring" as we unravel how we change our stories.
