Reclaiming beauty begins when women stop asking for permission and start inhabiting their bodies with devotion, curiosity, and pleasure.

This conversation explores how nature-based boudoir photography becomes a ritual of embodied sovereignty rather than a performance for approval. From unraveling purity culture to reclaiming sensuality, imagination, and play, the discussion weaves together feminine embodiment, beauty beyond youth, and the healing power of being witnessed without judgment.

What emerges is an invitation to choose vitality over perfection and self-indulgence over self-denial. Beauty becomes a living experience rather than an image, reminding women that pleasure, presence, and creative expression are sacred acts of remembrance.

Sacred disobedience has always been the moment when feminine awakening truly begins.

This reflection explores the outlaw archetype through myth, psychology, and lived experience, revealing how women awaken not through obedience but through curiosity, truth, and inner authority. Stories of Eve, Psyche, and Bluebeard’s young wife are woven together with Carl Jung’s teachings on individuation and shadow work, reframing the so called good girl conditioning that keeps many women compliant, quiet, and disconnected from their power.

Rather than reckless rebellion, sacred disobedience is shown as discernment and devotion to inner wisdom. When women choose wholeness over approval, they begin the path back to their deepest truth and creative power.

Healing is not about perfection; it is about remembering who you are beneath the labels, diagnoses, and stories.

Depth psychotherapist Vanessa Bennett joins Lisa Marie Rankin to explore the messy middle between spiritual bypassing and wallowing, why self-obsession can keep us stuck, and how service and community help us rise above our own drama. They unpack anxious attachment and dating culture, the TikTok-driven rise in ADHD self-diagnosis, and how our nervous systems are being hijacked by a world built on dysregulation. Vanessa shares her depth psychology view of the Self with a capital S, explaining why boundaries are sacred micro-moments of self-remembrance, and how her book, "The Motherhood Myth," maps the myths, motherhood, and patriarchy that keep women isolated and ashamed.

This conversation cuts through labels, questions why partnership is so often pursued from wounded places, and reframes healing as a return to inner balance between masculine and feminine. It reminds us that nothing is wrong with us; we are remembering who we are in a world designed to keep us fragmented.
