Get "Liberate Your Business" by Becky Mollenkamp at https://liberateyourbusiness.com/ Consent isn’t a checkbox—it’s a relationship. In this episode, Becky Mollenkamp and Faith Clarke dig into the messy, nuanced reality of consent. Moving far beyond the simplistic “yes means yes” framework, they explore how power dynamics, discomfort, and unspoken pressure shape whether consent is actually present. From workplaces to relationships to leadership, they challenge the idea that words alone determine consent—and make the case for deeper awareness, ongoing check-ins, and paying attention to what’s not being said. This is a conversation about power, humanity, and what it really takes to create environments where people can genuinely choose. In This Episode, We Cover: The difference between performative consent and real consent Why “they said yes” is often not the full story How power dynamics distort people’s ability to consent The role of nonverbal communication (and why words aren’t enough) Why leaders have a responsibility to pay closer attention Consent as an ongoing, relational process—not a one-time agreement How discomfort prevents both giving and receiving real consent The problem with forcing vulnerability in workplace culture Why “use your words” can be an oversimplification Real-life examples of honoring consent—even when it costs something 🎤 JOIN US IN THE FEMINIST PODCASTERS COLLECTIVE
