In this episode of 'My Mama Summer,' host Aimee Q Devlin takes listeners on a heartfelt and thought-provoking journey through her experiences in an online feminist community.

Aimee delves into her initial excitement about joining the community, the disillusionment she felt due to groupthink and hypocrisy, and the conflicts she faced when sharing her unique perspectives.

She discusses the intense feminist programming she encountered and reflects on the cultural shifts impacting society.

This episode also features Aimee's satirical poem 'Eye-Fucked,' which critiques the modern feminist narrative and explores how women's anger and dissatisfaction were often projected onto men.

Through these personal stories and reflections, Aimee reveals her growth and stance on feminism, providing a nuanced look at the complexities of gender dynamics.

This episode is a deep dive into challenging norms and finding one's voice amidst societal pressures.

Warning: This podcast is not a highlight reel. (And I think that's a refreshing thing in a world of superficiality and false pretences.)

Go behind the scenes of my life as I build an online business, raise a family with intention, live abroad in a new country, and unpack trauma, programming, and reparent myself openly in the public realm.

In every episode, you’ll get insights into the depth of what it really takes to build a business, whilst being a present mama, living a life outside the box, and doing the work it takes to be who we’re meant to be.

My Mama Summer is my journey to becoming whole.
