Revealing The Goddess Within; An Interview With Zoe Charles, Founder of 'The Cheek Of It' School of Burlesque & Cabaret

Mums F**king Matter

Welcome to my first guest interview on the podcast! I am so excited to share with you my conversation with Zoe Charles, Mums of two boys and Founder of 'The Cheek Of It!' School of Burlesque and Cabaret.

I connected with Zoe after hearing about her classes — which I cannot WAIT to participate in. After exchanging a few lovely audio messages, I knew I wanted to invite her onto the podcast.

In this episode we speak about:

• Zoe's background, what led her to create 'The Cheek Of It' and her passion for working with and holding space for women
• challenging disempowering beliefs through burlesque and performance as a rite of passage
• the practice of taking up space, enjoying our body and the ripple effect of that on other women
• Zoe's experience of birth trauma, finding help and healing her relationship with her body
• motherhood, rejecting the claim "You can have it all" and witnessing the magic of our children as they are

Themes: Dance, Burlesque, Drama, Motherhood, Birth Trauma, Mental Health, Physical Health

At the end (34 minutes in), I share a poem written by today's guest, Zoe Charles.
