Stupid Cute + Tara Teng: Come Home to Yourself (Live Podcast Recording)

Inspired by Chapter 8: Pleasure in Tara’s new book, Your Body Is a Revolution: Healing Our Relationships with Our Bodies, Each Other, and the Earth, this discussion will centre around themes of sensuality, empowerment, and coming home to oneself.

How do we redefine pleasure in a way that allows us to experience it – mind, body, soul – each and every day? Where does joy reside in our body and how does exploration allow us to tap into it more? Can every yes be a whole body YES?

Embodiment coach and author Tara Teng helps us untangle ourselves from centuries of body-based oppression built into our societal systems or masquerading as religion. When we embrace our relationship with our bodies, we come into alignment with all things: ourselves, each other, the earth, and our sensuality. When we embrace ourselves, we can take back what society says is too much — too loud, too feminine, too masculine, too gay, too worldly, too unique. Now is the time to journey back to our bodies and to celebrate our whole selves.

Tara Teng is a somatic practitioner who helps people overcome shame, heal trauma, and come back into relationship with their bodies. An ardent human rights activist and former Miss Canada, she was presented with a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal in recognition of her work to combat human trafficking. She lives on the unceded traditional territories of the Kwantlen and Katzie First Nations, in Vancouver.

Stupid Cute is a cheeky podcast hosted by long-distance best friends and serial oversharerers, Haley and Erin. Stupid Cute aims to empower people to connect with and embrace who they truly are. Airing the good, the bad, and the messy middle, the gals invite listeners [deemed Cuties] to a very illegitimate self-therapy session or expert interview every Friday as they attempt to raw dog marriage, motherhood, mental health and everything in between.
