What if the original “fallen woman” wasn’t sinful—but simply refused to submit?
In this powerful and provocative episode, I’m joined by historical and mythological fiction author Nikki Marmery to explore the story behind Lilith—the first woman before Eve, banished from the Garden of Eden for daring to stand up to Adam and God.
Together, we delve into why this story matters today.
We discuss how Lilith, long demonised in religious and cultural narratives, is reimagined in Nikki’s novel as the fierce, wise, and courageous heroine women have waited thousands of years for. We explore the roots of patriarchal thinking in ancient mythology, the worship of female deities erased from history, and how our inherited cultural stories continue to shape perceptions of women today.
This episode is a timely and necessary conversation about reclaiming the stories we’ve been denied—and understanding the deep historical patterns that still influence the way women are seen, treated, and silenced.
