Apr\u00e8s avoir touch\u00e9 le fond, on a d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de naviguer l\u2019ann\u00e9e 2025 diff\u00e9remment. Cette ann\u00e9e, on court apr\u00e8s notre plaisir, notre bonheur, notre v\u00e9rit\u00e9. Et la transformation se fait sentir.&amp;nbsp; Entre fous rires entre amies, photoshoots spontan\u00e9s et reconnexion \u00e0 la nature, on se sent plus vivantes, sexy et align\u00e9es que jamais. Mais cette qu\u00eate du plaisir, ce n\u2019est pas juste personnel ; c\u2019est aussi&amp;nbsp; politique. C\u2019est refuser de survivre pour choisir de vivre. Dans cet \u00e9pisode on explore cette qu\u00eate du plaisir en \u00e0 l\u2019aide de diff\u00e9rents textes acad\u00e9miques, pour essayer de mettre en mots ce qu\u2019on a ressenti. \u00c0 quoi ressemble la poursuite du bonheur, la poursuite du plaisir sous un syst\u00e8me capitaliste? Est-ce que c\u2019est notre propre joie qu\u2019on exp\u00e9rimente ou celle qui nous est impos\u00e9e? Un \u00e9pisode difficile \u00e0 mettre en mots mais toutefois, n\u00e9cessaire. &amp;nbsp;  &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; In our first episode of 2025, we looked back on a challenging 2024 ; with struggles in relationships, careers, and finances. After hitting rock bottom, we decided to do things differently. This year, we're chasing pleasure, joy, and truth. And the transformation is felt. From laughing with friends, to spontaneous photoshoots, to reconnecting with nature,&amp;nbsp; we feel more alive, sexy, and aligned than ever. But this pursuit of pleasure isn\u2019t just personal , it\u2019s political. It\u2019s about choosing to live, not just survive. In this episode, we explore the pursuit of pleasure through various academic texts, in an effort to put into words what we\u2019ve felt. What does the pursuit of happiness or pleasure look like under a capitalist system? Are we experiencing our own joy, or the one that\u2019s been imposed on us? A hard episode to put into words but a necessary one. &amp;nbsp; Sources:  Use of the Erotic: The erotic as Power - Audre Lorde   C:\\Users\\Darkwater\\Desktop\\Audre_Lorde_cool-beans.wpd   Pleasure under capitalism - The Swaddle https:\/\/www.theswaddle.com\/pleasure-under-capitalism &amp;nbsp; The happiness mirage: how neoliberalism sells us an impossible dream - The Medium  https:\/\/lastreviotheory.medium.com\/the-happiness-mirage-how-neoliberalism-sells-us-an-impossible-dream-03b88044a8a3 &amp;nbsp; Book:&amp;nbsp; \u201cBoom Boom.
