Story Time: If Only...
It is a special virgo season! Super Duper Shout to Key! She actually inspired me to write down my fantasies in the first place. I was going through a very very dry season. Her Taurus Moon helped me do things that I thought I never would. This one is for you. But Alas... As always if you like what you hear, email me at eroticembodi@gmail.com
Story Time: To Pat
An ode to Houston Summers with Cool Cups and Short Skirts and Aeropostale polos. I give you, To Pat, an erotic story where I was laid on my back with style and grace. In honor of the first eclipse of 2020! As we know, eclipses are when light is obscured, so I hope this story aids in your ability to invite rest and nourishment in your body! Happy Eclipse Season!

Violence and Protection : New Moon in Cancer Reflection (BONUS)
TRIGGER WARNING: In this episode I discuss physical violence and emotional violence in multiple forms. This New Moon has felt really full for me, so I thought I'd release this episode to both drain my pool and hopefully nourish someone else's.

Uses of the Erotic By Audre Lorde Read by Kadie Smiles
With a podcast called Erotic Embodiment, it feels only right to go to a source text at some point. As I prepare my first Full Moon Horoscopes for the full moon in Sagittarius, I'm reflecting on my own erotic embodiment, especially as a Cancer Moon. I'm also thinking about how moon signs can often can be a sight of great oppression or shame given that its connected to instinct. We know that systems of oppression do their best to kill the instinctive and intuitive body. In that knowing, if you follow me on Instagram, you also know that are we absolutely Queer, Homosexual and like my ancestors, I too, am Down for A Fucking Riot on this block on on the internet. However, with the last eclipse and mercury retrograde plus the mass shootings, it's been difficult to remain encouraged and fight for my own intuitive body. My existence cannot only be associated with death and resistance. So perfectly, we look to our Goddess Audre Lorde for strength and wisdom and courage. May this text and others be a guiding light as these systems fall away during this time.
As always if you love the episode email me at eroticembodi@gmail.com. To book a session with me visit my website at https://kadiesmiles.weebly.com! See You Next Week
