Listen To This | Feral Women
A Podcast Rec for Tuesday, January 21st
Welcome to Listen to This, a new feature within Welcome Wanderer. Each day, I share a favorite podcast episode or audiobook —something that moved me, challenged me, or simply made life a little brighter.
Podcast of The Day: Death, Sex, & Money with Anna Sale | ‘Babygirl’ Director Wants Women Not To Suppress Their Beast | Jan 21 2025 | 1 hr
Why It Mattered To Me:
I appreciate how Halina talks openly about the uncivilized parts of women, the wildness lurking beneath the roles we play in motherhood and society. I haven’t seen the movie Babygirl yet, but I can already tell its themes resonate deeply with my deepest thoughts and desires.These Words Made Me Pause:
“Women seem to think, oh I have to be this creature, this flawless Mary Poppins kind of person that nourishes, and that puts herself in the shoes of others, that pleases, instead of just being whoever we are, which is sometimes a feral, crazy person.”
-Halina Reijn
