Mariko Sakai, aka Mistress Mariko, joins host Johnny G to discuss the spiritual side of romance and intimacy. Mariko, a coach and expert in field of relationships, intimacy, and sexuality, presents listeners with a hard-hitting question: are we REALLY willing to get honest about who we are, what we want, and how we can get there? Whether in romance, sexuality and intimacy, family life, or business, Mariko explains that our inner guidance has all the information we need to reach ongoing joy, satisfaction, and fulfillment. The map to find it is simply the willigness to love ourselves unconditionally and boldly embrace authentic living.
