| 130: The Path to Self-Actualization: Anchoring in Your Body and Vision | 25 Sep 2024 | 00:36:05 | |
In this episode, I explore the journey of elevating your energy and frequency by becoming fully anchored in your body and mind. I dive into the process of surrender and examine how often we unknowingly add distractions to our lives to avoid confronting our true potential. This subconscious self-sabotage, often fueled by fear of becoming our most successful and self-actualized selves, can keep us stuck in patterns of over-complication and resistance. I also get into the deeper emotional work necessary to clear the mental and emotional clutter that blocks our path to growth. By releasing these old wounds and creating space within ourselves, we open up to receive what is meant for us. Join me for this guide to unlocking your potential, tapping into your power, and embracing the flow that leads to your highest self. I dive into:

| 030: Tips to Expand Your Self-Pleasure Experience | 12 Oct 2022 | 00:56:11 | |
Self-pleasuring. Mmm, it’s so juicy. But I didn’t naturally gravitate toward it. And I know that might be the case for some of you. But when I began to allow myself to really get present and create time to be with my pussy, my creative source - it became a practice that expanded my capacity for pleasure and brought so much healing (and I want that for you too). In today’s episode, I dive deep into self-pleasure and my tips for making it an experience that changes your life. Because touching your body is so important, and connecting with this part of you that perhaps you have ignored, will be so powerful. I dive into:

| 029: Yin Love is a Game Changer | 05 Oct 2022 | 00:54:25 | |
We often put yang love on a pedestal (the external, masculine, expressive kind of love). But the energy of true, unconditional yin love? That can shift everything. Today, I’m sharing a transmission inspired by my spiritual teacher, my dad. I’m diving deep into his teachings around unconditional love - and how you can allow yourself to love in a way that perhaps you haven’t been able to before. Do you desire to tap into a more accepting, more understanding, and more true love energy that will completely change your relationships & sex? Let’s get into it. I dive into:

| 028: How Eye Contact Impacts Sex (and Life) | 28 Sep 2022 | 00:50:52 | |
It wasn’t until my 40’s that I truly made love. (And for all my late bloomers out there, take this as permission to heal in your own time. It takes the time that it takes!) For me, and I’m sure a lot of you, dropping into the energy of receptivity was very difficult. And that kept me from the real, intimate sex that I craved. So, what changed? How did I make the shift from controlling and disconnecting from my partners and lovers, to being in the energy of receptivity? One way was - making eye contact and letting in the connection. In today’s episode, I’m sharing a transmission around the power of eye contact and how it can expand your capacity to receive and build your self-intimacy so you can have better sex, more intimacy with your partner, and more importantly, more profound intimacy with yourself.

| 023: Let Love Crack You Open | 24 Aug 2022 | 00:42:47 | |
When love is felt in its true essence, it will crack you the fuck open. And often, this means a lot of us will block love (consciously or not) because we fear the heartbreak that comes with it. But I welcome the heartbreak - and I want to tell you why. In today’s episode, I share about a recent experience that cracked my heart wide open and how you can open to receive love more graciously and give it more generously so you can have more experiences like this - because this infinite and profound love is available to you.

| 021: Living Under a Spell | 10 Aug 2022 | 00:35:35 | |
I recently realized I was under a spell. The world was telling me I needed to do business one way and I was allowing my limiting beliefs to steer me in that direction. But I’m a unique being with many beautiful gifts (and so are you!) and that means my business requires different things (and it may be true for you too). In today’s episode, I’m diving into conditioned beliefs, how they can hold us back from living authentically and in alignment with our truest selves, and how to clear them out to STOP doing as you’re told.

In this episode I dive in with my friend, gorgeous free spirit & astrologer, Ashley Brockington. She shares with such tenderness about her childhood self-discovery and wounds, her experience around grief with her breakup after 9 years, and the rediscovery of her beauty, independence, and connection to the divine - a remembrance of who she is at the core.

Ashley Brockington is proud to be approaching that stage in life commonly referred to as "a certain age." Her earliest memory is of Kindergarten which she entered at age four due to an accelerated intellect. It was here that she learned that she could steal someone's joy simply by withholding her smile. She's certain that this is the reason that she is so loose with her smile now. She is a slutty slut when it comes to smiling at strangers. Give her a glory hole of social activity and she is going to stick her big dick energy right into it. Ashley has been referred to as a Bitch Nigger, a self-taught genius with panache, Auntie Ashley and Booby Fart Face. Find her online at #nappysnatch interpreting the stars.

| 012: Cultivating Vibrancy in Life & Marriage with Meenal Kelkar | 08 Jun 2022 | 00:53:44 | |
Whether it was her pain, pleasure, arousal, or orgasmic energy - my guest, Meenal Kelkal, had to fight fiercely to be able to drop into her body and feel these sensations. In today’s episode, she shares so generously and transparently about her history of sexual trauma and dissociation and the numbness she experienced in her body and sex as a result. We talk about the gorgeous dynamic between Meenal and her husband, and the inspiring ways they keep their marriage vibrant, sexy & growing after 30+ years. Yes, you read that right! She’s dropping gems from 34 years of experience inside a playful, connected marriage - you don’t want to miss it. We dive into:
Meenal Kelkar has what could be called a very non-traditional traditional marriage with her husband, Kris. They are both rule-breakers and truth-seekers. They have systematically dismantled all of the duty-bound shoulds that their arranged-marriage-based Indian community sought to impose on them. They have broken free into a consciousness-laden, passion-led, limitless life guided by their Third. One of their many passions is passing these teachings on to others, which resulted in their book, “Relating Revolution: All It Takes Is One Person To Change” and the 6-week course that builds on that book. They weave together teachings from HeartMath, Nonviolent Communication, Council, Dr Joe Dispenza, Gay and Katie Hendricks, Mama Gena, Yoga and many more. Those who benefit the most from our courses are those who already understand that we all create our own experience of reality. From that common ground, together we launch into the stratosphere of what relationship truly is. Connect with Meenal and her husband, Kris here: https://www.RelatingRevolution.org

| 118: Taking Risks and Reframing Failure | 03 Jul 2024 | 00:30:24 | |
So often we avoid taking a step forward toward our desires because of ego, trauma, or the subconscious stories that keep us stuck in our patterns. That’s why doing the work to allow yourself to be with what is, notice your patterns, and shift them is essential to doing the things that you’re afraid of. This week, I’m diving deep into the idea of failure and the power of taking risks. I explore "future tripping," the ego's desire to keep us small, and how past traumas can create subconscious mechanisms that hold us back. Ready to do that thing you’re scared of? Join me for a powerful episode on the importance of holding a vision of what you desire, listening to your intuition, and seeing failure as a gift so you can regulate your nervous system - and then leap. I dive into:
