Apologies people, I’ll be deleting BWE soon to prioritise my main substack — tuckerlands.
Rather than hiding behind a handle, I’m gonna embrace my real name and not let that stop me saying my opinions.

Directing my energy
I started Big Womb Energy so that I could have an anonymous space to tell the truth as I see it and empower other women.
But, to be honest, it’s not the women who need a hand. I’m always kind of amazed by how many strong, intelligent women are already nailing life in their own way. Women, who understanding their power and value after a lifetime being told by their culture they’re not enough or too much.
A lot of my anger and ambition comes from that same feeling I had as a young girl of not feeling worthy. Remembering how the world took away my confidence and replaced it with insecurities and self-doubt.
I find myself worrying about the possibility of my nieces growing up feeling the same way — hating themselves and distrusting their own ideas as I used to — and wondering how I can turn that around.
So alongside Tuckerlands, I’m also soft launching ‘Girl Guru’ — a pre-teen-friendly space that covers the challenges of girlhood. Rather than telling my nieces what to think, I want to tell stories that raise questions and encourage free thought.
The aim is to help them build self-trust and self-awareness in a confusing, competitive and often cruel culture. A culture that tries to convince us that the softest, most honest parts of ourselves have to be squashed and silenced in order for us to fit in/be liked/be normal.
The point of Girl Guru is to give my nieces — and all the sensitive kids like them — an alternative path through. One where showing kindness is normal, being vulnerable is strong and being messy, flawed and free-minded is something to be championed not stepped on.
If you like the idea, subscribe to Tuckerlands, OK.
See you on the other side!
