Have you ever felt the kind of overwhelmed, overstimulated, or triggered that we might call being “all touched out”?

Maybe you’ve even felt guilty about not being available to your kids or spouse, or surprised by the intensity of your feelings.

If you ever wondered why your body doesn’t feel like your own, if you are grappling with how to parent in a post-Roe, post world, you might be realizing how much bigger this is than just you.

Amanda Montei is here to talk about the histories we carry in - our culture and in our bodies - themes she discusses in her new book: Touched Out: Motherhood, Misogyny, Consent and Control.

This week, episode 48 of Poised & Powerful Podcast is about why we might feel touched out and how we can understand women’s bodily autonomy.
