S2 EP17 Rebelling Into Truth: Dark Luxury, Plus-Size Confidence, and Embodiment with Sevda Hussein
Welcome
Hello, Lovelies. It’s Juliette here, and today I am joined by the extraordinary Sevda Hussain. Sevda’s story is one of resilience, rebellion, and deep embodiment. From a childhood marked by abandonment to three decades in the adult industry, she discovered confidence, self-love, and the truth of living as art itself. In this conversation, we move through Persephone’s underworld, into the light of dark luxury, embodiment, plus-size confidence, and the power of daring to stand fully in your truth.
Episode Summary
In this episode, Sevda and I walk through her extraordinary journey, a life she describes as much like Persephone, the queen of the underworld. From being left in hospital at birth and moving through over a hundred foster homes by the age of three, to three decades in the adult industry, Sevda shares how her path into the shadows taught her self-love, embodiment, and confidence as a plus-size woman. We speak about sex work as a form of therapy, the myths around desirability, and how women can dare to believe their truth. Sevda also opens up about her work in dark luxury branding, helping women not just look like art but become it, and how she continues to channel her rebel spirit into creativity, poetry, and embodiment.
Key Takeaways
Life Like Persephone
Sevda describes her journey through abandonment, foster care, and the adult industry as a path much like Persephone, moving through the underworld to find power, beauty, and truth.
Embodiment Over Image
Confidence is not about how a photo looks. It is about whether you can keep showing up in your embodiment, again and again.
Curves Are Desired
The myth that only thin women are wanted is conditioning. Desire lives in curves, softness, and truth. BBW sex work revealed what women have been taught to deny.
Dark Luxury Branding
Sevda creates intuitive branding that turns women into art itself. Not performance, not façade, but embodiment made visible.
Rebellion as Truth
Being called a rebel is not defiance for its own sake. It is daring to challenge systems, conditioning, and shame. The real rebellion is standing in your truth.
