Episode notes
Breath Defines Embodiment
- An open, breathable female body is an energetic state of being at home in your body, not a specific look.
- Kori, Michale, and Molly link breath, pelvic floor initiation, and effortless shape to fertility and presence.
Wardrobe Shock After BowSpring
- Michale discovered many mainstream clothes assume a tucked pelvis after she integrated BowSpring.
- That mismatch forced her to re-source clothing and question the fashion industry's design assumptions.
Bodies Mirror Cultural History
- Body shapes and cultural posture reflect historical food, work, and social norms across decades.
- Michale and Kori argue genetics matter less than environmental and behavioral patterns shaping bodies over generations.
