Reflections, Self-Care & The Right to Sex

In this solo episode of The Feminist Bar, host Tinatswe Mhaka steps behind the mic for a reflective check-in. She shares thoughts on the current season of the podcast, the state of the development and NGO space, and the emotional weight of doing feminist work in spaces that are often extractive, underfunded, and contradictory.

Tinatswe also offers some self-care strategies that are helping her navigate burnout and disillusionment, and shares a personal review of The Right to Sex by Amia Srinivasan—unpacking what resonated, what challenged her, and how the book speaks to contemporary feminist discourse on desire, access, and autonomy.

It’s a quiet, personal, and grounding episode for anyone needing a moment to pause, process, and realign.
