Take What You Need: Self-Preservation, Pelvic Power & the Death of Martyrdom

Update: 2025-05-19

Description

🎙️ Podcast Title: Three Sisters

📌 Episode Title: Take What You Need: Self-Preservation, Pelvic Power & the Death of Martyrdom

📄 Episode Summary:

In this raw and resonant conversation, Victoria and Serena break open the generational, cultural, and biological codes that shape a woman’s ability to take what she needs. From Mexican ranches to Polish war escapes, this episode is a reckoning with inherited martyrdom, overgiving, and the unspoken weight women carry.

They explore how pelvic care, biomechanics, GAPS healing, and even erotic work are all rooted in the same core truth: you cannot heal if you do not feel safe enough to have a self.

This is a love letter to the feminine body, a testimony to the power of conscious boundaries, and an invitation to shift from martyrdom to self-devotion. You don’t need permission. You just need to start.

🌟 Key Takeaways & Themes

💥 Martyrdom Dies Here
Ancestral patterns taught women to give everything. This conversation midwives the end of that era—one act of self-devotion at a time.

🌊 Taking Up Space is Physical
From gyrotonics to weightlifting, your biomechanics hold the blueprint of your emotional patterning. Changing how you move reshapes how you live.

🛐 Pelvic Healing is Revolutionary
Root trauma, inherited beliefs, and physical illness all manifest in the pelvic bowl. Reclaiming it is radical.

🧬 Your Healing Impacts Future Generations
This isn’t self-indulgent. It’s blueprint-breaking. When you claim your needs, you liberate your children’s children.

👑 Queen Energy Isn’t Loud
Perimenopause isn’t about zero fucks—it’s about precise, grounded sovereignty. Quiet power. No apologies.
