54 | It's important to go inwards and tune in to all the messages we tell ourselves about sex. It's even more important to understand further where these messages have stemmed from; this is how we question our conditioning. Often, these messages come from external factors such as society, our upbringing-- what our parents, teachers, or anyone else who has influenced us have told us. All of these things impact how we relate ...

53 | The world of BDSM is very raw, honest and there are alot of common misconceptions. When it comes to sexual expression, I believe it can be powerful and healing. Peeling back all those layers is never a sweet and vanilla experience though, it means we have to let go of any shame, conditioning, or judgment. If you're here, you're probably curious to know more a bit more about it, and you're in luck because today'...

52 | When I had my first astrology reading, I was absolutely blown away-- It was the beginning of a spiritual and energetic self-discovery journey. Later on, I discovered Human Design, and things started to shift dramatically for me. Understanding your unique human design gives you insight into your life's purpose. It can improve the way you make decisions, how you show up in your personal/professional life, and guide you into ...

51 | When we first fall in love, we have a biochemical reaction. There's an increase in dopamine, to the point we almost feel intoxicated. It's like drug addiction. We've all been there when we meet someone and suddenly feel starry-eyed and infatuated. We place that person on a pedestal, but this comes from a place of limerence. In this episode, I'll be diving into all things love, lust, and limerence. I'll be s...

50 | Compulsory heterosexuality has been ingrained into us since we were born. Although more conversations around bisexuality and everything else outside of what society deems as 'normal' have recently begun to open up, much of our conditioning comes into play when we're even starting to question and allow ourselves to explore our sexuality. Today's guest Anna is a Russian-born Australian author and a passionate bi...

49 | Far too often, as a result of capitalism, we measure our worth by output metrics. How much did you do today? What have you produced? What tangible things have you contributed to society? How much money have you made doing that? After spending most of my life absolutely beating myself up for being what I labeled as lazy and inconsistent and forever trying to be more productive. I'm proud to say that I no longer identify wit...

48 | If you're listening to this podcast, then chances are you have a vulva, or you have sex with people with vulvas. Unfortunately, for many people with vulvas, sex can tend to be more painful than pleasurable. One in three women will experience pain during sex, while up to 17% (one in ten women) will be diagnosed with a related condition called Vaginismus. Women's pain is notoriously undervalued in the medical field, and ...

47 | Have you ever had really delicious sex only to feel disconnected, disappointed, or even just straight up disrespected afterward? Maybe your lover got up straight away, to leave or to do something else. Perhaps they rolled over and went to sleep without saying a word to you or just grabbed their phone and started scrolling. Any of those things sound familiar? If you've experienced these feelings or had a partner behave like...

46 | For many of us, especially those who identify as women or vulva owners, our arousal doesn't get sparked simply by the visual. It's the tease, the setup, the anticipation that gets us going to be intellectually stimulated. Enter erotica, but not as you know it. I'm so excited in this episode to introduce you to Carly Pifer, founder and editor in chief of Aurore. Aurore is a modern literary erotica site that shares r...

45 | Labiaplasty has been one of the fastest-growing medical procedures for about two decades now. Despite the abundance of surgeons performing this procedure, detailed clitoral anatomy has been missing from most medical textbooks. My guest today, Jessica Pin is an activist for the inclusion of detailed clitoral anatomy and medical literature and curriculum. Jessica has successfully convinced nine major medical textbooks to update ...

44 | "Sexual empowerment is not just about turning on your boyfriend with another girl. It's about doing what excites you." In a society that perpetuates compulsory heterosexuality, many of us don't allow ourselves to question our sexuality, let alone even know where to start if we do feel we may not be 100% straight. In this episode, I'm honored to have someone who has been a pioneer in the sexuality space, ...

43 | How good are you at receiving? Allowing and becoming receptive is a natural feminine quality, yet our society's masculine blueprint has conditioned us to forget this part of our nature. Women, in particular, can find it really hard to receive, accept and ask for help. If you identify with the energy of the feminine at your core, living your life in the fast lane is a surefire way to burn yourself out quickly and easily. I...

42 | As many of you know, this podcast and my work centre around feminine embodiment, but what does that really mean? Embodiment to me is a deep presence and sense of connection. So often, I think we are all so disconnected from our physical body that despite being conditioned to be hyper-fixated on the external appearance of our bodies, we tend to disconnect from our senses completely. In my years as a coach, I've developed a...

40 | Motherhood and sensuality. In today's very patriarchal society, many people are made to feel like the two don't go together. There is this steeped view that mothers cannot be sensual or sexual beings. Many parents, especially mothers, have reached out to me and shared about their struggle with finding space for sensuality, so I brought in a guest expert that can speak on my favorite topic through the lens of motherhood...
