My goodness Katy, this made me teary in the best possible way. The framing of it all is so real, and that we were able to do that all together, thinking about all of the other women behind us who planted those seeds in us...just beautiful. So grateful to get to know you and all of us together in that space. To learn and know more through you all is such a gift.
There’s so much meaning in not having the right to take what you want. That’s the patriarchy right there. I don’t know of many men who refrain from taking what they want; it’s their right, is it not? It is women’s right as well.
Thank you for yet again giving me more food for thought about how I navigate through this world.
"Until I started thinking about why I wasn’t allowing myself to go on retreat, I hadn’t realised that I had been policing other kinds of borders too." Love everything you've written here, Katy, and so glad you've decided to stop policing yourself. And that you went on the writing retreat.
thank you. thank you. thank you. your gift to yourself and the insights offered is a necessary reminder to myself (and i'm guessing many who read this.)
My god, Katy. The bit about being greedy. Incredible.
Thanks xx

I did think a lot about how the men I know would not, and indeed have not hesitated in similar situations. xx
