Do You See Yourself in this Photograph?
Darlings,
I want to share with you the first of our brand-new series of Radio Portraits, here at The School of Womanly Arts.
This is a series of audio interviews describing photographic moments that take place inside the Mastery classroom.
There are some moments in life that have so much power, so much depth, so much beauty, they hover in the air for eternity.
This photograph was one of those moments.
The subject?
My beloved student and friend, Sister Goddess Elvira.
I have known Elvira for ten years, since she flounced into the uptown Pleasure Palace, long mane of chestnut hair flying, to join an early Mama 101 class, a week after it had begun.
She and I have been there, and back together, over the years. Divorces, raising daughters, falling in and out of love.
Elvira is in a whole new place now.
It had been some years since she had crossed the threshold of The School of Womanly Arts. And much had changed.
When she arrived in Miami, I could see that my sister was in a crisis.
And needed an emergency pleasure infusion. She was dressed in what looked like a suit-of-armor version of Miami beachwear.
And I could see that her innate sense of confidence and joy had vanished.
There was one tool that I knew would bring her back to herself, immediately.
A runway….
This portrait illustrates the crossroads every woman faces. We can either choose to be a victim…or a creatrix. The victim is stuck in judging, blaming, and complaining when she doesn’t get what she wants—completely bound. But the creatrix is too busy leaping in the direction of one monumental desire after another. She is living a life unbound.
In one instant, Elvira made the courageous decision to unbind. What gave her that ability? The Sister Goddess Community. Sisterhood is the magical elixir in unbinding yourself and living the life you have longed for.
That is why we created the World Wide Sister Goddess Reunion in Miami. To teach women to celebrate their desires, rather than doubt them, like we are so used to doing. Because when a woman lunges for what she wants, with abandon, it is the ultimate act of goodwill. It takes everyone in her world higher.
Elvira is a force of nature. And so are you. This was her masterpiece. What will be yours? What legendary moment awaits you, in Miami?
With so much love and pleasure,
Mama Gena

Want a Free Seat at Mastery?
Darlings,
We have a history, here, at The School of Womanly Arts, of Sister Goddess Activism. What is Sister Goddess Activism? When a woman stands for another woman’s pleasure. It began two years ago, with Sister Goddess Melanie. She went completely unbound as a Pleasure Revolutionary, and brought her Mob—a whole row of girlfriends—to the World Wide Sister Goddess Reunion. Last year, I took Sister Goddess Shar to lunch at the Raleigh, with seventeen of the girlfriends she brought to World Wide. These women stood for, and changed the lives of their sisters. I deeply honor them.
So, I want you to give you a fun way to do activism in the way that Sister Goddesses have been doing activism with World Wide for the last 3 years. And make it even more fun and fabulous for you to participate.
This Miami is different from any other Miami. This year we are launching the Unbound Olympics. The woman who brings the most sisters to Miami is the one who has the best chance of winning a free seat at Mastery!!
We have a special Sister Goddess rate of $299 for Miami, if you bring a girlfriend. For every woman you bring to Miami, another entry with your name on it gets put in the pink hat, and at the end of the weekend, I will draw the winner. And yes, I will also take you and your gang to lunch!
So, to join the Unbound Olympics:
1. You must first enroll in World Wide online and then
2. Declare yourself a contender by Monday at 5PM, by clicking the link below. [Sorry, sisters, the deadline for this has passed.]
3. And you must stand for at least one woman who is new to The School of Womanly Arts to attend the World Wide Sister Goddess Reunion in Miami.
The more sisters you bring, the greater your chances to win. You will never be unbound without changing somebody’s life. And the more outrageous you are, the more unbound you become. When we are in Miami, your chances for winning the gold medal will increase with every outrageous act you perform. More details on that to follow at the Reunion.
This is my way of showing my appreciation of Sister Goddess Activism. Thank you for creating the Pleasure Revolution with me. Nothing turns me on more than women standing for women, sisters standing for one another’s pleasure.
I cannot wait to get unbound with you in Miami!
With so much love and pleasure,
Mama Gena
Catch Me LIVE In Denmark (Plus, receive instant access to a gift)
Darlings,
I have some very exciting news…
Yo’ Mama is coming to Denmark!
And I have two juicy events in store…
My first book, Mama Gena’s School of Womanly Arts, has been translated into Danish! And I will be making an appearance at the release party on Thursday, October 27th (details below).
But the fun doesn’t stop there…
Recently, I managed to catch up with a brilliant Danish woman named Kirsten Stendevad, founder of the Global Goddess School.
Kirsten is one of my former students who used to live here in New York City before she moved back to her beautiful hometown of Copenhagen, Denmark, where she’s now a successful feminine leadership expert and happily married “mompreneur” with three kids.
While we were together, Kirsten invited me to do a 1-day LIVE transformational event for my European Sister Goddesses and those of you who’d like to travel there, and I said YES!
The event is called: The Best of Mama Gena’s School of Womanly Arts: How to Let Go of Your Inhibitions and Access the Power of Pleasure and Your Divine Feminine.
(Be sure to watch the short and funny non-professional video we did together that reveals the juicy details about the live event. I love the big hat Kirsten is wearing!)
On the page, you’ll learn more about the event, and you will also be able to receive free instant access to Kirsten’s 12-Video Feminine Leadership Jump-Start Kit, which I encourage you to benefit from by signing up here .
I was touched by Kirsten’s story and gratified to see how my teachings have contributed to her success and flourishing. And I have to say, I’m excited about this festive gathering we’re going to have in Europe! Not only are we going to learn a lot together, but we’re going to have lots of fun, too!
I cannot tell you what a privilege it is to witness my dream of global sisterhood unfolding before my very eyes. We have made this happen together, and I am beyond grateful to each of you who stand as Pleasure Revolutionaries in this world. I hope you’ll join me in Denmark!
With so much love and pleasure,
Mama Gena
P.S. As I love to say, every desire you have is an adventure inside you, waiting to be unleashed. So get out of your comfort zone and don’t settle. Take a stand for yourself to live the life you truly want and deserve, and JOIN US in Denmark!

Pop Quiz: Are You Bound?
Darlings,
We are a School, after all.
And schools have standards.
And tests are the way the headmistress gets her finger on the pulse of her students.
And I want to know exactly how bound you are. Right here, right now.
So, please take this down and dirty exam–grade yourself–and let me know exactly how you think you are doing, below, so I can best prepare for you in South Beach.
No cheating! Remember: even a woman who is totally bound, today, can lead the Unbound Parade, tomorrow!!
Pop Quiz: Are You Bound?
1. You see a hot man or woman across a crowded room, and your first thought is:
A) They are way too hot, I cannot approach them
B) Maybe later, after I have a drink
C) Let me make my way around the room and practice “turning it on for a dork**” and then I’ll go in for the kill
D) I am way too hot to not approach them
2. You’re in a relationship with your partner and think, “He’s not doing the dishes as often as I like,” so you…
A) Say nothing
B) Lose it and start yelling like a fury
C) Call your girlfriends and ask for tips on how to approach the situation
D) Ask him to meet you for a date in the kitchen. He arrives to find you dressed exquisitely, lying on the counter by candlelight, opposite a sink full of dirty dishes. You tell him how much it turns you on to watch him scrub the dishes, and could he just put a little soap on the sponge to start? When he does, you nearly roll off the counter with excitement.
3. At the office, you have incredible thoughts and opinions about how to drive the work flow and make things easier for everyone. You bring them up at the next staff meeting, and a co-worker emphatically puts down your opinion. You decide to…
A) Keep your mouth shut for the rest of the meeting while mentally criticizing yourself
B) Go into defense mode and retaliate with a biting comment
C) Thank them for the feedback and continue with getting your point across
D) Mentally repeat your womantra “I am the hottest, sexiest genius at this staff meeting,” upride your co-worker for being so passionate and responsive, and elaborate on your ideas with even greater enthusiasm
4. You’ve always secretly yearned to be a jazz singer. One of your best girlfriends, also a musician, just booked a gig at Blue Note. You immediately think:
A) That bitch!
B) It’ll probably never happen for me—I’m not good enough anyway. Time to browse the classifieds for a real job.
C) I’ve got to call and make reservations now so I get a table front and center of the stage to cheer her on!
D) I’m going to stop and buy a bouquet of roses and take her out to dinner tonight to celebrate! This must be a sign that I’m on my way to becoming the next Ella Fitzgerald.
5. You’re on a busy street, in the middle of the crosswalk, and you drop your keys. You bend down to pick them up and hear the seat of your pants rip, exposing your underwear to a line of traffic and nearby pedestrians. Construction workers are now whistling. You:
A) Run to the nearest tailor, mortified
B) Decide to join Weight Watchers
C) Have a good laugh and wave to the construction workers
D) Declare to yourself, “I am a genius for wearing sexy undergarments at all times” and snap a quick photo on your phone to send to your lover. You then call your girlfriend for a little impromptu shopping spree to help you pick out an even hotter pair of pants.

So how’d you do? Post your score in the comments below. And if you’re ready to unblock your passion, unlock your radiance, and unfurl your desires, come to the World Wide Sister Goddess Reunion: A Life Unbound!

In honor of the stand you take for your sisters, I will be treating to lunch the Sister Goddess who brings the most women to the reunion. You heard me—lunch for you and your gang, poolside, is on me, and you can ask me any of your burning questions!
Ever since last week’s video teaser and our postcard debut, the Palace phones have been ringing with questions on what “A Life Unbound” really entails. And I don’t want you waiting until the reunion to get unbound. That’s why next Thursday, Oct. 13th, I will be hosting a free preview call, where I will be taking you on a tour of A Life Unbound and what it really means to take ownership of yourself as a free woman on this planet. And I’ll be announcing a very special surprise… Click here to register to attend live or receive the recording. Join us for the pre-Miami party!

89 Seconds of Miami Madness
Darlings,
Anyone else feel the delicious crashing of the waves of change on their shores?
You know that feeling- like something is coming.
A wind change. A sea change. A looming storm. A new weather system.
That feeling is a prelude to a life change…
I am feeling it every which way but sideways right now. There is a wonderful man on my horizon- will I press go? Or push him away? There are a zillion huge decisions to make about my daughter and her next steps.
Will I stay safe- right here, where I am, right now?
Or is it time for me to get unbound?
And see where that leads me.
How do you respond when something great is coming?
Because something great is always coming. If you choose. In advance.
Of even, a perceived calamity.
And that is what it means to live a life unbound.
A life unbound is a life where a woman makes the rules, sets the intention, and leaps with abandon in the direction of her desires.
Which always, always, always takes herself, and others, higher.
And what most women have been taught to do is the opposite.
We are taught to panic.
Recoil.
Resist.
Hide.
Fall apart.
Tread water and complain our lives away.
And join the ranks of millions of depressed women in this world who never ever, quite ever, get what they want.
Thus, Miami.
Watch this video for a tiny taste of what’s in store!!
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>
For three days this November, in the heat of South Beach, we’re gonna jump on the raw bones of living a life unbound.
Who’s coming?
There will be brand new women who have never done a class at The School of Womanly Arts, before. There will be Boot Campers, Mastery grads, and Inner Circlets.
There will be a celebration of womanhood such like the world has never seen.
The World Wide Sister Goddess Reunion is a three day immersion in the Womanly Arts, and this new curriculum of A Life Unbound. It is like a giant pleasure research sandbox. Each day, there is time spent in class with me, followed by retreat time.
Retreat time includes basking in the sun on the beach with your Sister Goddesses, flirting, swimming in the warm Miami water, dancing, and writing our unbound desires in the sand.
Sigh.
Sisters, it is time for me to make some moves and create some waves in my life. Big-assed honkin’ waves.
And lunge with abandon towards creating my “what’s next.”
And if that desire has your name all over it, come join me at the World Wide Sister Goddess Reunion in Miami!!!
Here’s what you’ll get at the World Wide Sister Goddess Reunion: A Life Unbound:
- Find out where it is YOU are stuck, settling, and playing it safe
- Identify exactly what it is that keeps you restrained and restricted
- Learn how pleasure and The Womanly Arts can slice right through those invisible slave chains that keep you bound
- Being Unbound: without losing a pound, without getting more sleep, without changing a hair on your head.
- My NON-NEGOTIABLES to living a life UNBOUND
Festivities Include:
- Three live events with me, Mama Gena, at the Convention Center in South Beach, Miami, Florida
- The opportunity to connect with Sister Goddesses from around the globe
- Parties, parties, and more parties in South Beach
- Beach time, shopping, lying by the pool, and plenty of pleasure research homework
- A special reading from my upcoming book — just for YOU!
In what area of your life do YOU want to unbind? Bring it to Miami, and allow yourself to surrender to the power and magic of Sister Goddesses from all over the world. Sisterhood is one of the most powerful ingredients in the unbinding cocktail — to have all of us there to empower you and stand for you living your full value and measure of worth.

A Place Called “Rapture”
Darlings,
There is a territory, a location, a place, where a woman comes alive. Where she is effortlessly powerful and radiant and flush with her own beauty.
What's your streetcar named desire?
It is a place called Rapture.
None of us were taught how to find this place.
Or where it is.
In fact, we were actually taught to run the other way, and stay far, far away.
That Rapture was dangerous.
And could get a girl into trouble if she wasn’t careful.
In fact, we were all taught that it was the darkest, most treacherous, and most reviled part of womanhood.
Many of us grew up quite scared by the depth and breadth of that capacity within us. I know I did. But it is a part of the soul of woman that deserves to be both explored and mined for the hidden treasures it contains.
Rapture is the precise cliff we jump off, in Inner Circle.
Why? Well, it is the “worst” parts of woman that I am the most excited to encounter.
There is some raw longing that brings a woman to Inner Circle. And at the start of every cycle, each woman brings an image or object to represent her longing and what she wants to create (pictured above).
It has nothing to do with doing. It has to do with a state of being. This state of being is the Pleasure Revolution in action, but there is no action. It’s a paradigm shift. It does require some willingness and it does require some surrender to a part of the nature woman that is not valued by the collective, but it is the eternal piece of you.
So, I wanted to celebrate these 75 women who chose to boldly go where no woman has gone before, and take that jump off the high dive, right into the heart of Rapture, with me. We had our first Inner Circle event, last month. And I am still riding on the gorgeous wave of these extraordinary women who have stepped forward with so much courage, to dive deeply, 20,000 leagues under the sea, to collect the rare pearls that have always been their birthright.
What an extraordinary country that we live in, to be able to even have a place to explore these matters, in this way, in community. I am so grateful.
With so much love and pleasure,
Mama Gena
Top 5 Ways Women Blow It with Men and How to Triumph
Darlings,
First and foremost, to my sisters who love sisters: read “partner” when I write “men.”
I say “men” because it feels sassier to me. But all this stuff works both ways; you can even pass it along to your gay guy friends.
Women, we are geniuses. Brilliant. Glorious. Powerful.
But if you want to bring a radiant powerhouse to her knees in no time flat, put her right dead across from a guy who she has a ginormous crush on. Or sit her next to her cell phone the day after a hot flirt and watch how many thousands of times she checks for messages.
Or watch what our married, glorious, genius powerhouse does when her well-meaning husband fails to remember her birthday. Or check out her response when she comes home from work, exhausted, to a messy house, no dinner, and her husband is sacked out on the sofa.
A CEO who runs her company with one hand tied behind her back, becomes utterly tongue-tied.
A world leader twitters and swoons like a tweenager at a Justin Bieber concert.
A perfectly reasonable social worker turns into a raging, nail-spitting shrew.
And many, many, many women feel so clueless they just pull themselves out of the game and sit on the sidelines, watching the rest of us make fools of ourselves.
And what you don’t know is this: I wrote the Womanly Arts as a way of giving myself, and all women, a method to stay grounded and centered as we navigate the world of love, sex, and partnership–with the alien.
Because as soon as we give ourselves up and try with all our might to please our partner, the whole boat sinks.
Click here to listen to my audio guide to the top five ways women blow it with men and how to triumph:
Top 5 Ways Women Blow It with Men and How to Triumph
To recap, here are the top five ways women blow it with men:
1. They try to stuff the guy into a husband suit way too fast
2. They don’t tell him what they want, and expect him to read their minds
3. They do not express their gratitude
4. They expect him to turn them on, and they stop flirting
5. They wait, rather than act
And here’s the Pleasure Revolution solution:
1. Finding fun, no matter what
2. Desire list
3. Man-training cycle
4. Flirtation
5. Owning and Operating Men

Top 5 Ways Women Lose Their Pleasure and How to Find It Again
Darlings,
It is always hiding in the last place you look.
Yesterday, I was looking everywhere for my bracelet that I took off the previous day, just before my shower.
I remembered taking it off.
But I could not remember where I put it down.
And I looked everywhere, had my kid and my mom looking everywhere, on our hands and knees, but no bracelet.
It was like it vaporized.
But I did not stop looking. And I became more and more hysterical inside, with every spin through the house.
Because I knew it was there, I just could not find it.
Neglected pleasure feels just like that.
Just like that.
You have done whatever you could to make good decisions. You have worked hard. You have hit the marks that everyone told you about.
And there is still something vital that is missing, that fills you with an uncomfortable upset inside, that intensifies the harder you try to find it.
So, I want to give you the roadmap to the top five ways that women lose their pleasure and how to find it again, so you can stop your search, and find yourself, in a whole new way. Click here to begin your audio lesson:
To recap, here are the top five ways women lose their pleasure:
1. She is stuck in the misery of a long-term relationship where she feels stifled, undervalued, and ignored, or she is not dating because all the good ones are taken, and she is certain she will never find a great guy, even before she gets out of the starting gate.
2. She hates her job and feels underpaid and under-appreciated.
3. She feels fat, even though she’s not, she feels old, even though she’s not, and she feels like everyone else is sexier than she is.
4. She has it together, and she has created a lot of what she wants, but there is still a nameless longing inside of her that leaves her sad and lonely at her core.
5. She feels a deep sense of hopelessness and immobility as she looks at her options.
And here are the simple, proven methods you can implement right now to find your pleasure again:
1. Start your day with the Daily Fluffs for a little morning pleasure inspiration.
2. Every Thursday, create a new desire list and send your desires out into the twitterverse on #DesireThursdays with Mama Gena.
3. Choose a theme song, for your day, every day, that speaks to your soul. Give yourself a dance break and sing-along break every couple of hours. Today, mine is “Manhattan” by Kings of Leon.
4. Pretend that the streets are your runway, you are the hottest woman on the planet, and that everyone wants you, as you head for work, run a meeting, or do your supermarket supermom thang. I have learned to rock this in flip flops, sneakers, or stilettos.
5. Lip gloss. Always lip gloss. It never fails. Current fave: Laura Mercier’s Bellini.
