Full Bloom Pod – Détails, épisodes et analyse

We're back for our season four finale, and we wanted to explore what the heck it means when we say slow down.

We discuss this idea of slowing down so often in this space and in our circles, but what does it actually look like in practice, and how can we work slowness into our existing lives, as they are filled with routines, responsibilities, commitments, and structured timing? How can we re-claim our time as our own, and what does it look to hold a consent and pleasure-based relationship to our time?

We discussed personal practices, intentions, and learning edges for each of us in relationship to slowness and time, and we're so excited to take this time over the holidays to integrate some of the learning from this conversation. And we're extending a big, slow, soft invite for you all to do the same, Bloomers! Take some time to reflect on what slowness looks and feels like for you, and how more slowness can be integrated into your current life. We can't wait to hear from you in the new year, see you in 2025!

Love always,

Tay & Emma

Welcome back Bloomsquad, we're here again for another month of magical conversation and reminding you that you are a cosmic, sensual, beautiful being.

This time the magic is super real, because we got to sit down with Andy (they/them) of Saint Alchemy, a cosmic wildcrafter based in Alberta, Canada who spends most of their time in deep connection with the Earth.

We got to chat with Andi about how to honour the seasons through connection with the Earth, how their practice looks throughout the year, how to decolonize working with nature, how queer identity shows up in herbalism, and so so much more. Truly, this chat felt like stirring the cauldron, and we can't wait for you all to meet this gorgeous human.

Find Andi on Instagram at @saint.alchemy.

BloomSquad, we're back this month with another inspiring interview to gush into your ears.

This month's guest is none other than The Pussy Witch herself, Luna Dietrich (@luna__dietrich), and we couldn't be more honoured to have them in our Bloom Space.

Luna joined us to share all about her experience as a pleasure-based business coach. We asked them our burning questions around money, financial wellness, how our nervous system is connected to this whole process, and how to move toward a more compassionate, grounded relationship with money.

Luna is so full of spiritual wisdom and expertise on this subject, we left this convo feeling so inspired and excited.

Please take a second to give us a rating and leave us a review! And remember, you are so loved in this space.

Love,

Tay & Emma

Hi BloomSquad!

We’re back and we’re bringing it in. Back to our roots, and back to one another, with a very intimate, raw, intentional check-in. With this one, it's just us, Taylor and Emma, and we’re discussing love in the long term, what that looks like and how it feels, and love in the long term in relation to relationship anarchy.

What does it mean to be "well loved"?

We’re reflecting on where we are now with the podcast and how we’ve grown in the past three years, and using all the passionate intensity of Leo to reconnect to our long term love for this passion project of ours.

We love each other, we love YOU!

Bloomin’ away, day by day xoxo

Hi Bloom Squad ~ This month in the bloomiverse we were joined by a seriously lovely guest, Kris Kneen. Kris (they/them) is a non-binary author residing in Australia. Kris most recently released the book titled "Fat Girl Dancing", a memoir written over many years, which really digs into the question, why do we make it so difficult for fat people to live in this world? Kris invites us to reconsider over and over again our perceptions of bodies in this world, particularly feminized and gender non-conforming bodies, and how beauty standards deeply trouble our perspective. In our chat with Kris we get into all of this, asking Kris to share with us their lifetime of learning about fatness, queerness, gender-identity and self-expression. There was so much to dive into here. Take a listen and please read Fat Girl Dancing!

There is A LOT to this episode, so take your time with it and see how it all sits in your beautiful body ♥

Welcome back BloomSquad!

We are so excited to introduce you to our latest Bloom guest, Robert Gusdal! In this episode we set out to confront the binaries and limitations placed on pleasure by unpacking the gendering of pleasure and vulnerability. Why is pleasure seen as "femme" and how does internalized homophobia limit male pleasure? How does limited access to male pleasure impact the broader pleasure advocacy journey? We cannot wait for y'all to join this juicy conversation. Pleasure is for all!

As always, we cannot wait to hear what you think. Leave us a review! Send us an email (fullbloompodcast@gmail.com), or find us on the socials at @fullbloom_pod. We love you, and we're blooming away, day by day!

In this very special episode, we got to interview a dear friend of the bloom pod, burlesque performer, stripper and producer (as well as many other things) Ava Hart! 

This episode got into some really expansive conversation on body politics, queerness, burlesque and stripping and the whorearchy, creating the art you wish to see in the world, and what the "bloom era" is really all about. We are so excited for you all to get to know this incredible human, there's so many takeaways from this chat we can't even pick one! You'll just have to let us know what sticks out for you. 

Find Ava at @ava.hart.xo and as always, find us at @fullbloom_pod 

We love you, and we're blooming' away day by day!

We are back and offering a fiery and recharged welcome to our third season! 

This episode is just the two of us, following where we left you in closing ceremony with our last episode that closed season 2 on a tender, honest, and intimate note as we held one another close and shared the truth of our long dark night. 

This episode brings a sense of deep self reflection and intention as we move into a new year. Navigating family dynamics coming out of the holidays, discussing our Ins and Outs for 2023, and pulling tarot on the new year and what we're bringing with us, it's all here in raw and unfiltered form, because that's what's IN for 2023 y'all! 

We are so excited to be bringing a new flavour to this beautiful space with our new season, and we have lots of exciting guests and chats on the docket, so stay tuned for all of the juicy goodness we have coming your way.

And as always, we love you, we see you, you're doing great. 

Blooming' away, day by day, 

Tay & Emma

BloomSquad! We have been in the dark, but we are back and we are bringing this episode to you as the conclusion to the beautiful journey that was Season 2 before we embark through the portal of a brand new season filled with chats and giggles and interviews like we do here at Full Bloom. 

Sometimes we bloom, and sometimes we need to go inward, to cocoon, into the depths of the long dark night, and in this episode we share with you what we've both been moving through since the last time we spoke. With updates from us both, reflections on friendship, our "why" on this project and how the darkness has transformed us, we stay committed to truth on this pod and we know you'll receive us with as much love as we have for all of you. 

Stay tuned for the second part of this tell-all with the debut of Season 3 just around the corner! 

As always, we can't wait to hear from you how this resonates and where you've been at. So reach out! Send us an email at fullbloompodcast@gmail.com or dm us on IG - we're always here for you, fluctuating and spiralling as dramatically as the seasons in the rainforest. 

Bloomin' away, day by day xoxo
