Education


In today’s episode, we interview brilliant pole dancer Sonja Sloane who has a Ph.D. in art history and feminist theory (and being a badass if it were up to us). Her pursuit of academia and pole gets us talking about the dualities and stigmas that all women face when it comes to the different facets of the feminine and how we can often feel constrained by social norms and expectations. At Bed Talks we say, refuse to choose! From punishing herself and driving her body into the ground through fitness to how she found herself through her dance practice is just one of the self-love transformations we get into. You will feel her strength and power through her words which we’re certain will lift you up. “Don’t diminish yourself. When you make yourself smaller than you are, you are repeating and reproducing that very construct that is oppressing us.” Sonja Sloane’s way of life? Checking in with herself on a regular basis and practicing the type of person she wants to become. How does she make it sound so easy! A deep and inspiring interview that will get you thinking about your own beliefs around sexuality and self-expression. Enjoy! Join the community and essentrics.com (http://essentrics.com/)
