Make 2025 the year you challenge Taboos, Embrace You!

Join Paz Bizarre as they explore topics around stigma, self-empowerment, and embracing authenticity.

In each episode, Paz reflects on their journey as a dominatrix, navigating both the judgments and rewards of living outside conventional expectations. With a blend of humour, candid insights, and deep introspection, they dive into the complexities of being unapologetically yourself in a world that often judges those who don’t conform.

Paz challenges listeners to rethink societal norms and consider their own experiences with judgment and freedom. Tune in for a raw and empowering conversation that encourages self-reflection, celebrates authenticity, and offers a safe space for those who choose paths less traveled.

This podcast is for anyone looking to break free from self-judgment and embrace a life lived true to themselves, with or without society’s approval.

 

These are at the end of the episode, so feel free to get right to the end to listen!

Prompts to Reflect On:

"Think of the ways your favourite provider might experience stigma."
How does society view their work? What assumptions do people make about them based on their profession? What challenges do they face that others might not even realise?

"Think of the ways you personally experience stigma."
Do you feel judged based on your profession, lifestyle, or identity? How does stigma affect the way you interact with the world, or how the world interacts with you?

"What does freedom from judgment look like for you?"
How can you start living in a way that’s more authentic to your true self without the fear of others' judgment? What steps can you take to embrace self-empowerment?

"How can we better support those who choose non-traditional paths, whether in relationships, careers, or self-expression?"
Are there ways we can create a world where different choices, like being single, choosing unconventional relationships, or doing non-traditional work, are met with acceptance rather than judgment?

"When was the last time you felt fully seen and appreciated for who you are, without anyone trying to mould you into their idea of what’s 'right'?"
Reflect on moments where you've felt completely authentic, and what those moments meant to you. How can you seek more of those experiences moving forward?

"If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, how can you change that narrative for yourself?"
How might you reframe how you talk about yourself and your experiences, in a way that empowers you rather than diminishes your value?

 

 

KEY TAKEAWAY:

Self-acceptance is a powerful force that can foster both personal well-being and collective inclusivity. When individuals embrace who they truly are, free from the burden of societal judgment or the need to conform to external expectations, they open up space for greater diversity within society. This internal acceptance acts as a foundation for greater external tolerance, compassion, and inclusivity.

Self-acceptance encourages people to feel secure in expressing their authentic identities, without fear of rejection. This can inspire others to do the same, leading to a society where different experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives are not just tolerated but celebrated. As more people feel empowered to share their true selves, cultural, racial, gender, and sexual diversities become normalised, rather than marginalised. This benefits everyone by creating more inclusive environments, whether in workplaces, schools, or social settings.
