Claiming Pleasure: From Shame to Appreciation

Welcome to The Claiming Pleasure Podcast with Malika. A warm, gentle space to explore our relationship with play, healing, and our bodies, particularly after sexual abuse.

Malika is a musician, performer, funeral celebrant, mother, survivor, and lifelong lover of games. She shares her journey from disconnection and shame to daily practices of acceptance and appreciation. 

Each episode features honest conversations exploring bodies, play, and recovery through personal stories, reflections, and insights that reveal how pleasure is vital to our well-being.

For those struggling with self-worth or self-criticism, for anyone disconnected from their sense of pleasure and play, for survivors seeking inspiration to ground and reconnect with their bodies and sense of self, this podcast is for you.

Feeling at home in our body is healing. We're all deserving of feeling good.
