Medusa: The Hero Who Never Looked at Her

Medusa: The Hero Who Never Looked at Her Shattered But Unbreakable — the TAKE IT BACK series

Episode One | Part 3 of 4

This episode is part of the TAKE IT BACK series—
a reclamation of voice, truth, and power that was never lost, only buried.

This is not a mythology podcast.
This is a reckoning.

In Medusa: The Hero Who Never Looked at Her, we examine how systems eliminate what they refuse to face—through distance, intermediaries, and sanctioned silence. We explore the coordinated act behind Medusa’s death, the preservation of her power after her erasure, and what it reveals about how women are still removed while their labor, ideas, and strength are retained and reassigned.

This episode also names what emerges after trauma: not one outcome, but many strategies for survival. Through Pegasus and Chrysaor, we explore flight and embodiment, dissociation and boundaries, transcendence and grounded power—and why healing is not choosing one, but learning when to land and when to stand.

This is where the myth stops being a story.
And starts becoming a mirror.
