In this episode, Bonnie Lippincott sits down with international touring violinist, pleasure activist, and founder of Pleasure as Power, Meena Bhasin, for a deeply honest conversation about motherhood, embodiment, creativity, and why pleasure is far more than a luxury.

Meena Bhasin shares how becoming a mother transformed her understanding of her own power, and how music, movement, and somatic practice became a pathway back to aliveness. Together, Bonnie and Meena unpack the difference between numbing and true pleasure, why women are often trained to disconnect from their bodies, and how sacred rage can become wisdom, protection, and aligned action.

They also explore the pressure women feel to overgive, the myth that self-abandonment is noble, and the radical shift that happens when we start sourcing energy from pleasure instead of depletion. From sensory rituals with children to practical ways of beginning the day with joy, this conversation is both grounding and expansive.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted by the demand to do it all, this episode offers a refreshing reminder: your body is not here just to perform. It’s here to feel, receive, and create from a place of fullness!
