In this episode, we pull back the velvet curtain on the long-forgotten truth: women’s adornment has always been a language of power.
From ancient Egypt to the Viking north, through corseted Victorians to modern-day Met Gala queens, women have used jewelry, clothing, and accessories not just to decorate — but to dominate.
You’ll learn:
- How Egyptian queens like Cleopatra used gold and gemstones as political propaganda (and literal goddess cosplay).
- Why Viking women rocked brooches and bangles that doubled as currency and protection charms.
- How Renaissance and Victorian women hid rebellion in pearls, embroidery, and coded lockets.
- The not-so-subtle ways modern women are still using adornment as resistance, identity, and energetic flex.
✨ Spoiler: Adornment has never been “just for show.” It has always been strategy, magic, and resistance wrapped in silk and sparkle.
Whether it’s a corset, a crystal pendant, or a Chanel suit — when a woman adorns herself with intention, she becomes unapologetically powerful.
This episode is your reminder that your jewelry is not an accessory… it’s armor. And your outfit? It’s a declaration.
Updated Version 3/2025
This channel is made up of uncensored conversations so that we can normalize talking about ALL THE THINGS, self-indulgence, sex & relationships, SMUT, luxury, and so much more. To openly discuss what hasn’t been “allowed” to talk about in either your family, circle of friends, or place of worship.
This came about because I see so much insecurity in women and I want to show that you aren’t alone in any of this.
