What if legacy wasn’t about striving…
 but about how you love?

In this episode of The Vital Goddess Podcast, I’m sharing a New Moon reflection inspired by the upcoming New Moon in Capricorn — a lunation that invites us to root into what we’re building long-term, not just in our work or goals, but in our bodies, our relationships, and the way we move through life.

You don’t need to follow astrology for this episode to land.
 I share how tuning into the rhythm of the New Moon and Full Moon became especially grounding for me during midlife and menopause, when our hormonal cycles shift and the body is longing for a new, steady pulse.

Inside this episode, we explore:

• A feminine reframe of legacy as what lives on because of how you love
• Working with a yin word and a yang word for the year — and the alchemy created when they meet
• How the New Moon’s connection with Pluto invites embodied power and deep truth
• Healing our relationship with action, effort, and over-doing
• Softening an over-yanged mind and welcoming intuition, imagination, and feminine intelligence
• A guided breathwork ritual to integrate yin and yang, left and right brain, structure and magic

This episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and consciously choose what you’re building from the inside out.

 An invitation to let love be your architect.

This week on the pod I dive into a topic I’m super passionate about: The Taoist Jade Egg practice.

In this episode, I share the heart of my approach to working with the Jade Egg through breath, flow, subtle movement, deep listening & self love.

Rather than training the body to perform, this work is about restoring relationship with your inner landscape so safety, trust, sensation and vitality can return naturally. 

I introduce Jade Rebirth, my embodied approach to teaching the Taoist Jade Egg practice. 

We explore why flow is foundational to healing, how fascia responds to gentle rhythm and time, and what it means to cultivate true strength without armoring.

This episode is an invitation to soften, listen, and let the body lead.

✨ We explore:

• Why flow matters 
• How gentle movement supports circulation, sensation, and release
• The role of fascia in softening and integration
• How the body releases without reliving stories
• Why true strength doesn’t require tension

Can’t wait to share this one with you!

🌊 Explore Jade Rebirth More Deeply

If you’d like to explore the foundations of Jade Rebirth, I’ve created a short Jade Rebirth Companion PDF you can download right here. 

Jade Rebirth is also woven into the container of the Vital Goddess Mastery program, where we explore this work slowly and experientially through guided practice and live Temple Sessions.

What is erotic innocence?

And how do you reclaim it for yourself?

It's quite clear that society has an Eros problem.

I don't have to tell you that.

The layers of dysfunction and abuse that abounds worldwide is beyond disturbing. 

It can easily leave us feeling overwhelmed and powerless.

What's the antidote?

Here's my take on it: One of the most radical, revolutionary and world changing things we can do as women is to consciously reclaim our erotic innocence.

Our Eros is our creative life force/Chi and it's our birthright to fully embody it.

It's time to boldly claim the erotic initiation we never got.

This is something that Courtesans through the ages have known and practiced.

And something that we focus on a lot in my work.

The sensual arts have much to offer us here. 

Within you runs the the creative life force energy that creates worlds.

Hey Beautiful!

If you’re a woman who wants to truly glow from the inside out and feel amazing, (and if you’re here, I know you are!). A woman who wants to be free to be all of who she fully is and live in alignment with her passion, desires and core values, (again, I’m pretty sure you are!), then you want to take your pleasure seriously. 

Truly. This is a non-negotiable my friend!

I know that when life gets rocking and rolling (cue Holiday Season), it’s so easy to put our pleasure last.

Not a good plan! 

In fact it’s a terrible plan.

Nix that plan!

Your pleasure is more powerful than a superfood smoothie, I kid you not. 

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good green smoothie. Those antioxidants are quite sexy. But there is nothing more holistically supportive of you being your best self in all areas of your life than making your pleasure a top priority. 

And making it your default.

You can become an artistic master at pleasure; a maestro.

And you have way more agency around this than you’ve been led to believe.

And it’s really quite simple.

Let's dive in!

Hey Beautiful!

We commonly hear libido described as “sex drive” or “the urge to have sexual intercourse” but there’s sooo much more to the story of turn on.

Libido is your creative life force energy; your zest for life. And a thriving libido is central to your wellbeing whether you’re interested in having sexual partners or not.

In Chinese medicine libido is called Jing and it’s considered to be one of the three treasures of life.

In TCM when your Jing is depleted it’s a red flag. Depleted Jing makes us more susceptible to disease, degeneration and general aging. 

In our modern lifestyle it’s very easy to leak Jing. That leaves us feeling depleted, uninspired and sets the stage for a whole host of health problems.

Stress and inflammation are probably the top culprits of depleted Jing.

So how do we preserve and cultivate this treasure of zest and vitality? This may come as a surprise but it’s not about boosting or revving up anything. 

The roots of our libido or Jing are our Kidneys. Kidneys are Yin organs; they’re of the water element. 

Chinese medicine offers many tonic herbs that can help replenish Kidney energy and Jing but for those to be truly effective lifestyle changes need to be part of the program as well. 

And there are ancient Taoist sexual yoga practices (like The Jade Egg Practice) that work really well here.

But how we approach these practices really matters. 

We need a reframe on what culture tells us about libido and sexuality. Instead of getting fired up or amped up, we need more rest, calm and flow. We need more sensual pleasure and more reverence for our sacred libido and the sacred vessels of our bodies.

We need practices that soothe the nervous system and allow the body time and space to heal from the effects of stress, past wounds and trauma. Only then can we replenish our reserves slowly and steadily and reclaim our treasure of sustainable Jing and sexy radiant health.

I do believe that our Jing is our personal fountain of youth and claiming it hands us the keys to our Queendom.

Like Dr. Christiane Northrup says in her book Goddesses Never Age; “You’re sitting on a throne of gold. It’s your erotic anatomy.”

Today I want to riff a bit on a topic that I know so many women are curious about and maybe even frustrated and confused by; the female libido.

One of the chief complaints heard in doctors offices and in couples counseling  from women of all ages is that of low libido. 

There’s a lot there.

And there is no short answer or quick fix. 

I feel we need a holistic approach when tending to the female libido. 

This is a crucial wellness issue that we need to talk more about.

Your vitality and happiness depends on a thriving libido regardless of your age and whether you choose to have sex or not.

Your sexual energy is not just about the urge to have sex. It’s the foundation of everything. 

This is your creative life force. And you can learn to cultivate it and tap into it to fuel your life. 

A thriving libido is your birthright.

And you can have it.

In today’s episode I dive into a topic that so many women are familiar with; pelvic pain.

There are many different types of pelvic pain, some requiring medical attention, but for women seeking a holistic approach, The Taoist Jade Egg Practice may be the solution you’ve been looking for.

Pelvic pain was a big wake up call for me. It was my own journey with pelvic pain and other issues that kicked me onto the pleasure path over 20 years ago. My quest to heal led me on a journey of reclaiming my Sacred Feminine and introduced me to mind/body/spirit holistic practices that really worked for me.

Here I go deep into the specifics of how The Jade Egg Practice can help heal pelvic pain of many kinds.

Hey Beautiful!

As the feminine energy rises on the planet, “the times they are a- changing”. 

Never before have we had such a mass interest in holistic healing and wellbeing. 

We’re waking up to our true nature and potential. 

We’re expanding.

And we’re craving more depth.

While super foods, power smoothies, fitness, Yoga and meditation are always going to be foundational to well being, a new take on what it truly means to thrive is emerging.

We’re moving beyond a simplistic mechanical view of the body; ( ie: the body is a machine that breaks and needs to be fixed), into a perspective steeped in the beautiful, cosmic, rich truth of who we are.

I’ve been working in the wellness industry for over 20 years now; initially as a Pilates and Yoga teacher and now as a Tantra/Jade Egg & Feminine Embodiment coach. 

And I can’t help but notice the changing of the tides; it’s more like a tsunami actually.  And it’s pretty darn exciting!

A new paradigm is being birthed. One that embraces the feminine. One that honors mind, body and spirit. One that celebrates the beauty, power and sacredness of our bodies and our sensuality.

We’re healing. 

We’re remembering. 

And we’re just getting started.

If you've been around me for bit, you probably know that I'm part mystic and part tips and tools/nuts and bolts kind of gal.

I love tripping out in the bliss realms where body meets spirit, Rumi poetry, the joy and ecstasy of the heart, full body O etc...
 
And I really like precision. I love systems that work (former Pilates teacher over here)!

This episode is a good illustration of that:)
 
For me both are important.

I wanted to devote a full episode to a free, 3-part Sacred Feminine activation masterclass that I've created intentionally and exclusively for the beautiful souls on the waitlist for my signature program The Vital Goddess Mastermind.

It's called Unleash Your Inner Goddess and it's forged in love with a big dose of Goddess magic and chock full of easy to apply practical tools for the mystical, busy modern woman that you are.

I guess we can say it's practical magic:)
Tis the season after all!

This is an episode about control. And I used to have lots of it. 
And it didn’t feel so good.

While I love that old Janet Jackson song, too much control can be really problematic.
As a former (and at times still recovering) control freak, I know this terrain well and I feel it’s something worth exploring. 

There’s a lot here.

I mean, who doesn’t like a little control? It can feel so good,.

Until it doesn’t.

Of course having some control in our lives is essential but in the world we live in, we can easily go overboard and even get addicted to having control and find ourselves in chronic survival mode.

Uber control is not sexy. It can shut down our sensuality and have serious effects on our mental and physical health. When we are '“white knuckling” our way through life we are literally putting ourselves in fight, flight and freeze and miles away from pleasure.

Instead of having all of our ducks in a row, I think there’s a lot of value in learning how to let those ducks swim. 

We can learn to let go and flow more and when we do, we get access to the most radiant, creative and powerful parts of ourselves.

I’ve got some tools for you.

You are a powerful Creatrix my love.

Part of you knows that.

And I bet part of you has forgotten.

One of the most beautiful things about awakening your feminine essence is that you begin to remember.

You begin to shed much of the conditioning that's been scripting your life.

And awaken an innate inner knowing of who you truly are and why you're really here.

You come home to yourself.

What you may not be aware of is how important pleasure is in the equation.

You didn't come here to play wack a mole with the world and its never ending problems.

You came to create your world in alignment with your desires.

Activated and fueled by your pleasure.

Hey Beautiful!

Another Eclipse season is upon us! Even if you know nothing about astrology, just like when Mercury spins retro, it can be useful to know that things are not operating in "regularly scheduled program" mode.

 Eclipse season happens about every 6 months and offer us powerful invitations to make a quantum shifts. I like to call these cauldrons of transformation as the opportunities for self awareness, healing and inner alchemy are heightened.

Things can feel intense, emotions can run high,  and just like Mercury retrogrades, the energy can seem chaotic and abrupt, but when we work with these potent little portals with awareness and intention they can help realign us with our purpose and re-infuse us with passion for out path.

I wanted to do a short and sweet episode on this so that you can navigate this eclipse season (starting Oct. 14th, 2023) from a place of empowerment. There's a lot to work with here, if we choose to get curious and dive in.

Eclipse self care is the key to accessing the magic of the season. And it has everything to do with caring for your nervous system.

Hey Gorgeous!

I’m so excited to share today’s episode with you. 
It’s all about tuning in to your feminine genius.
And trusting it.

Self trust is tricky isn’t it? 

It can seem so “fly by night.” 
One minute you can feel so sure of something, the next, not so much.

We know that trusting ourselves is essential to living a full, authentic life. And we all crave more of the peace, clarity and presence that trusting ourselves can generate, but  truly trusting our gut on knowing what’s best for us be it food, career, friends, lovers and communities we engage with, well, it’s not something that most of us were ever encouraged to do.

I feel that the missing piece here is embodiment. When we awaken our feminine flow in our bodies, self trust is a natural result. 

Without rooted, embodied self trust life quickly becomes overwhelming and chaotic. But we can get our groove back.

And it’s really quite simple.

In this episode I dive into:

• Why self trust is a practice
• 3 pillars to building self trust from the inside out
• Why flow is the master key to self trust
• Simple, powerful tips to embody your self trust

It’s your birthright to be connected to your inner wisdom.
It’s your birthright to trust it.
It’s your birthright to shine your unique essence and give your gifts to the world.

Hey beautiful!

Today I want to share a bit of what I've learned about true core power after years of teaching Pilates, Power Yoga & Barre and The Jade Egg.

One thing's for sure, it's not about abs of steel!

While I love movement and I'm all about having a toned, well functioning core, being armored up in the core can actually do a lot of harm. 

Chronically sucking in the belly messes with our breathing, keeps us in stress mode, cuts us off from our deepest power source and can exasperate pelvic floor issues of all kinds.

It's time for a new paradigm in fitness.
We need a holistic approach that includes all of who we are mind, body & spirit.
One that embraces the truth how we're actually designed.

In this episode I dive into:

• How "abs of steel" and chronically sucking in the belly impacts the pelvic floor
• How sucking in the gut creates armor in the body that keeps us in fight or flight increases inflammation making it hard to lose weight
• 3 truths about the femme core that most women are missing

Hey there Gorgeous!

How do you feel about Kegel exercises?
Do you love them?
Do you hate them?
Do you do them?
 
To be honest, I've never been a fan.
Most of the women I know feel similarly.

Although the big K is still the standard advice for pelvic floor care, and can definitely deliver some tangible results, so many women I've met through my work over the years have had a hunch that there's more to explore.

If that's you, I applaud you!
You're spot on, love.
There IS more.
So much more.

That's why I want to do a deeper dive in this week's episode on how we truly heal the pelvic floor (and the entire Femme core) and ditch the Kegel for good.

Here's what you'll find:

• The shift into the new paradigm; the rise of the Feminine and the journey from wellness to wholeness
• Why a mind, body, spirit approach is key to true healing
• How tapping into your flow/fluid power; your amazing fascial network is so key
• The truth about the Femme core and why Martha Graham was so on point when she told her students: "Move from your vagina!"
• My top suggestions to start your healing journey

Are you ready for a deeper (and much more pleasurable) experience of your Femme core?
Cool!

Hey there Gorgeous!

Today I want to share a bit on something we all encounter pretty much on the daily; stress.

Stress is a fact of life, but unless we have the right tools to navigate it, it can wreak havoc on us body, mind and soul. It saps our vitality, ages us prematurely, cause all kinds of mental and physical aliments, and tanks our libido.

When we store unprocessed stress and the emotions connected to it in our bodies, it blocks our life force, natural radiance, creativity and joy.

Obviously, stress can be a major buzzkill.
But it doesn't have to go that way for you.

Mindset practices and affirmations can be great for managing stress, but if we want to go beyond simply managing stress to becoming a master navigator we need to dig deeper.

We need to think (and move) outside the box.

We need to tune into the body's wisdom and embrace the feminine principles of rhythm, flow, sensuality and giving space and permission to feel our full emotional range and ignite the ultimate healing elixir; our erotic power.

When we combine mindset or meditation practices with a daily does of feminine embodiment practice, we've got some potent tools to take the reins on stress and take back our power. Our fluid power that is.

In this episode I share:

• The 3 most common types of stress 
• How stress and emotions get stored in the body
• The healing power of sensual breathwork
• How sensual movement heals; igniting your fascial system & emotional alchemy
• The healing power of sound; organic and the Taoist Healing Sounds
• A simple formula to bring these practices into your daily life

Hey there Gorgeous!

As the soulful, heart-centered women you are, you're constantly looking for new and better ways to bring more joy, love, peace and harmony into the world, am I right?

I love that about you! (And thank you, btw!)

And because of that I'm sure that there are lots of people drawn to your light and clamoring for your precious time, energy & essence. Yes?

And let's be honest, spending time with some of those people inspires and fuels you and others? Well, they can leave you feeling like you just got hit by a freight train.

Here's the thing that most women in my world know, but have trouble actually putting it into practice. We gotta get good, like really good, at creating boundaries!

And in my world that means creating boundaries that feel good.
And it's a lifelong practice.

Many of us were not taught that owning our inner authority is a legit thing to do.
For some of us it was downright dangerous.
And yet it's crucial if we truly want to thrive.

You get to be the boss of you.
You get to decide who gets access to your time, energy and essence.
Not everyone gets an all access pass.

You, as proud owner of your inner authority, you get to be author of your life.  You get to write the script. And it gets to feel good.

This is something I feel we can all use some more loving, spicy support on.

 That's why today's episode is about three steps to take to start creating boundaries that actually feel good.

And you guessed it, Bella, pleasure has everything to do with it.

In this episode:

• why putting ourselves first is so key
• powerful mindset tips to shift our relationship to authority & desire
• our sexual energy/erotic power and claiming our inner authority
• simple and fun tips to bring boundaries that feel good alive in your life

Hey Gorgeous! 

Today I want to get a little cosmic with you.

Are you game?

I want to talk about astrology and how it can work for you.

Hear me out:)

At first glance astrology can seem kinda woo, I get it. But I’m here to say while on the one hand, yes it’s magical and I love that.  And on the other hand it’s super practical and I love that too.

What I love so much about astrology is that it can give context and meaning to the sometime crazy shit that we go through as spiritual beings having this very human experience.

And let’s be honest, when it comes to midlife and aging things can get a little “unsteady on the jetty” to say the least. 

And adding to the confusion, we have a lot of disempowering messages coming our way. 

Have you noticed?

We’re told in so many subtle (and not so subtle) ways that we’re being put out to pasture.

Astrology says “forget that bs, you’re just getting started!”

Astrology can be enormously supportive at any stage of life but I want to speak specifically to how it can serve us at midlife. 

If we’re open to it.

Does midlife really need to be a crisis? Not if we’re wiling to do some inner work.

Does midlife have to be the beginning of the end? 

No. It can be a rebirth; a realignment with who we truly are and what we came here to do. 

From the ages of around 40-60 we have four invitations/ opportunities to do some deep soul work. And astrology maps that out for us.

Doing this work can help you get aligned and set yourself up for a rewarding,  joyful and even spicy and juicy third chapter of life.

Astrology is not a belief system, it’s a language that can help us navigate these midlife initiation portals with more clarity, ease, love, compassion, joy, gratitude and success. 

In this episode I dive into:

• Reframing “mid life crisis” into “juicy initiation portals”
• How astrology can help us cut to the chase and customize our inner work
• 4 powerful initiation portals in midlife to tune into; (Uranus Opposition, Chiron Return, Venus Returns & 2nd Saturn Return)

"Rage is passion without a place to play." A teacher dropped that truth bomb on me when I was navigating probably the most emotionally charged season of my life.

I was deeply immersed in my menopause journey, and for me it was a wild ride.

There was a lot going on. On so many levels.

I was completely overwhelmed by the tsunami of emotions, (mostly anger and resentment), that were surging through me. I didn't know it at the time but this was a wake up call and an invitation into the deeper Sacred Feminine mysteries.

Our emotions are a gift; a treasure and a portal into our inner wisdom and our deepest desires. And what does culture teach us?  We're taught to disown them, disconnect from them and numb them. And it leaves us feeling disempowered and wondering WTF are we're missing.

We can't selectively numb, when we stifle and suppress the more intense emotions like anger, rage and grief, we shut down our joy, ecstasy and rapture. That's just the way it works. But most of us were not taught that.

 Learning how to work with our emotions and excavate the treasures buried within them can enliven us and align us with our true north. Knowing our inner Dark Goddess can transform our lives and awaken deep wells of creative and erotic life force energy.
And we can do it in a way that feels good. It doesn't have to be a hot mess.

Venus has a sidekick, a beautiful dark sister who is essential and She wants to have our backs. She lives in all of us. But She requires an invitation to work Her magic in a way that feels good.

In this episode I dive into:

• How Venus and the Dark Goddess are in cahoots
• Meet my Dark Goddess
• How the Dark Goddess is essential for the Feminine to rise
• 3 ways to connect with your own Dark Goddess and give your passion a place to play

Hey Goddess, I know you’re rocking it in so many areas of your life, (but, yes, I'm daring to ask), how’s your love life?

Are you like so many women on the planet..frustrated (to say the least)  in the love department?

Like “let’s not even go there?”

Maybe you’re done with the whole mess and decided to focus on all of the other things in life that give you joy?

I hear you!
And I've been there.

And I'm here to say that you, my dear, can be having a hell of a lot more fun when it comes to romance.

When it comes to romantic love we're been led in the wrong direction.

We've been led to believe that "out there somewhere" is a perfect lover that is destined to complete us.
 
We've taken the bait.
And that sets us up for a lifetime of bitter disappointment and resentment.

What if we could turn it all around?
What if we could work some inner alchemy on this and shift our experience?
What if we could come to the banquet of relationship, from a more nourished and empowered place?
What if we could have a lot more fun?

I believe we can.
In fact I know we can.

The magic is within you love, when you begin to get that and work it, things will feel a whole lot different.

In this episode I dive into:

• The sexy & sacred union within; masculine/feminine, Shiva/Shakti/Yin/Yang
• Your inner God & Goddess; the epic romance within
• Mindset, Embodiment & Integration tips to bring your inner lover alive in your life

Beauty is a loaded topic. I get it. The word alone can trigger a lot of emotion.
That makes sense.

It's been distorted, commercialized and youth-focused to such an extreme degree that we've pretty much lost the plot on beauty. Maybe we've even thrown in the towel. Again, I get it.

Beauty has been distorted almost beyond recognition.
It's been hijacked and infused with ridiculous, artificial, racist and ageist standards that instill fear, doubt and comparison; leading women to spend gazillions of dollars in an attempt to "fix their beauty problems."

But what if there's actually nothing to fix?
What if Beauty (with a capital B) has been with you all along?
What if all we need to do is to remember how to tap into it?
To give it space and permission to shine?

True beauty is not a standard or a fix or a cover up it's a sacred reveal.
A reveal of your essence; your divine light shining in the sacred vessel of your body.
Your soul shine.

To quote fashion and beauty icon Coco Channel:
"Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress."

So how do we claim our true beauty?
Through pleasure.
When a woman embodies her pleasure, her radiance can't help but shine.
I see it all the time in my work.
And when a woman shines, the whole world is blessed.

Rocking your radiance is your birthright.
And you can claim it.

In this episode I share:

The creative, love force power you hold within you as a woman is immense.

It's the stuff that creates worlds.

The stuff that can ignite your life and change your world.

This essence within you is most likely for the most part, untapped.

Through no fault of your own.

That's the case for most women.

But you can change that.

This essence is your personal expression of Venus/Aphrodite; Goddess of Love.

Very few woman have discovered how to awaken this power and embody it.

If I had to break down the how on awakening it into one word, that word is pleasure.

Pleasure is the portal.

Embracing your sensuality awakens your inner Goddess of Love.

Getting right with pleasure liberates your unique expression of what I call...

The 5 Venus Codes: 

1. Beauty
2. Abundance
3. Desire
4. Ecstasy
5. Love

There are tried and true practices to support you in accessing your personal Venus Codes.

One of my favorites is sensual breathwork.

In this episode I break all this down for you and offer you a short and sweet (and free) guided practice to start your Venus journey.

Let's dive in.

To reclaim Aphrodite is to choose love over fear.
It's a bold move.
To claim your life force, shine unapologetically in the world, gift your gifts from a place of joy and pleasure and create your life from desire is your birthright.

And it terrifies most women.

While the fear is understandable, (thousands of years of patriarchy.)
We can't let it stop us if we truly want to live the life we came here to live.
 
We can feel the fear and alchemize it into power.
We can strengthen our innate frequency of Venusian love.

The most powerful love there is.

There are practices, tools, and arts for this.
Your body remembers.
It's just your mind that's forgotten.

We can heal from this case of collective amnesia and cultivate the love that lives at our core.

It begins with you deciding and it's sustained with your commitment to doing the work.

Today I want to go into the nuts and bolts of what "the work" in this realm requires and why I created The Vital Goddess Mastermind to support you in this.

Welcome to my Venusian mystery school dear sister!
“Venus favors the bold.” -Ovid

In this episode I riff on:

• How menopause kicked me onto the pleasure path
• What your Inner Goddess needs most to unfold
• The framework to embody your Inner Goddess of Love

Your feminine energy is as unique as your fingerprint.
And so is every other part of you!

We are such beautifully complex beings and not one of us is alike.

One of the things I love most about astrology is that it maps that out for us.

I started studying astrology around the same time I started to study Tantra and Taoist Sexual Yoga. In hindsight it all makes sense. It's all connected.

I now use astrology as a tool for Tantric embodiment. As a tool to support us in bringing spirit into matter so we can  be more of  the love we are at the core.  So that we can thrive more in intimacy, give our unique gifts and live the path that we came here to live in alignment.

Used consciously, astrology can be a huge permission slip to embody who we truly and fully are.

It's so important to understand that there is no one way to "be feminine" or "be masculine". We have both of these sacred energies within us.
And it's designed to work.

Society conditions us with such limiting templates of how we "should be" and how it all "should look". And that we need to continually source love and validation from external sources.

It's a recipe for disaster.
It infuses us with the belief that we're lacking in some way.
Perhaps in every way.
And I think we've all experienced that on some level.

This leads us into buying into the myth that there is a lover out there somewhere who can magically complete us.

The truth is, we're already complete. And we're starting to remember that.

There's a cosmic dance going on inside of all of us and when we start to work with the love affair within, we can experience a sense of deep wholeness and joy that allows us to show up in any partnership from a much fuller place.

This is where relationships can become a lot less frustrating and transactional and a lot more creative, fun and even sacred.

It's deep inner work.

And I believe that this is the essence of Tantra. And where Tantra and astrology meet.

It's also important to understand that it's never about being perfect.

It's about more joyfully living into our divine potential while acknowledging and embracing our very human experience.
With curiosity, awe and humor about this wild ride we signed up for.

In this episode we explore:

• How astrology supported me (and still does) in embodying my sacred feminine
• How astrology helps us activates the sacred codes within us and customize our embodiment practices
• Bringing your Venus alive in sacred ritual
• How astrology can help you activate the frequencies of your inner Venus, Mars and the Sacred Union within
• How astrology can help us dissolve internalized patriarchy

Our daily habits and mindset can support us or sabotage us.

We've all accumulated a certain degree of negative believes and unhealthy habits when it comes to the feminine.

No blame or shame here, but it's something we really need to take a look at if we want to truly embody our feminine power.

Cultural conditioning and the push towards external validation has reached a crisis point. And it's created some really unhealthy habits. I call this internalized patriarchy.

Once we see and name it, we can do something to change it.

In this episode we explore:

• The toxicity of overbooking
• The trouble with micro-managing and the hazards of decision fatigue
• The perfectionism virus and the big lie
• How your feminine thrives

Beauty.
Abundance.
Passion.
Ecstasy aka Orgasm.
Love.
 
I call these the 5 Sacred Codes of Venus.

These are things that most women are craving and yet we've been massively led astray.

We've been led in the exact opposite direction of where we need to go.

We've been taught to look outside of ourselves, fed the toxic mimic of these things which creates a hungry ghost in our feminine soul leaving us wondering what we're missing.

Our bodies have had the answer all along.
When we turn towards the body and begin to awaken our inner feminine essence with feminine embodiment practices, we begin to remember.

We remember that we are beauty.
We are abundance.
We are passion.
We are ecstasy.
We are love.
In the flesh.

Embodiment practices are the breadcrumbs on the trail leading us home.

In this episode we explore:

• The 5 Sacred Codes of Venus
• How to activate them
• A simple meditation to connect with your inner Venus

What or who is the Wild Feminine within?

There's a lot in the online space these days about unleashing the wild feminine or re-wilding the feminine. While I think that's awesome, I think some of the marketing out there can be misleading.

I've seen a lot of messaging that implies that for a woman to reclaim her wild she needs to be overtly sexual and/or she needs to go through some kind of deep dark messy cathartic process that will totally disrupt her life. 

While that may be some women's experience, it doesn't have to be that way. And I feel that message can end up putting pressure on women to be performative. Or it gives the feeling that there's a certain way to "do it right".

What I've found to be true is that our erotic wild nature is intimately connected with the rhythm and flow of nature and when we honor that and celebrate that our re-wilding becomes a lot more easeful, and natural. Not to mention fun!

We tend to over complicate things. You are a wild child by nature. It's your birthright to claim it. The permission you need is right in your own back yard, or local forest, or any where in nature that speaks to you.

I wanted to share 5 fun ideas to support you in this.

In this episode I share:

• What is the wild feminine?
• Reclaiming our sensual and erotic connection to nature
• 5 fun ways to unleash your wild feminine this summer from PG to spicy:)

This week I want to share about how I started to get Zen with pleasure with a practice called Orgasmic Meditation.

When I started to bring a deeper quality of mindfulness into my pleasure practice things started to root a new and more profound way. 

We have so many distractions when it comes to our sensuality and sensuality. 
Things can get complicated and confusing fast. 

I found that when I learned to let go of goal setting in the bedroom, and embraced flow, connection and presence it paved the way to a much deeper experience of intimacy, joy, creativity in and out of the bedroom.

Simplicity it turns out was the key to finding my authentic erotic rhythm
and feeling deeply nourished by sex.

In this episode I want to get a little personal.
Because I feel it may be of service.
About 20 years ago my marriage was on the rocks.
And I had no clue what to do about it.
Hell, I was so resentful that I wasn't even sure I wanted to do anything about it.

At that time I was lucky enough to find teachers who were living in a very different paradigm when it came to men and relationships.
Teachers who were teaching some ancient truths that brought a whole new perspective.

Trigger warning. When I first learned about this it was a lot to swallow. It took some work to let it seep in. And even more to start to explore it.

Do you know that famous quote by Gloria Steinem: "The truth will set you free. But first it will piss you off?"
It was kinda like that.

Getting right with desire is a master key in reclaiming your feminine power.

One of the golden keys to your Queendom.

And yet, for many valid reasons, most women have a very dysfunctional relationship with desire. 

Twenty years ago I did as well.

To be clear on what you want and to feel good about what you want can feel scary  and daunting, I get it.

We've had truckloads of conditioning on desire which can show up as massive resistance.

What I've come to know is that desire is sacred. 

Desire is sacred life force calling you forward to your next adventure. 

Desire is the universe wanting to express through you.

When we shut down our desire we shut down our life force.

And that never feels good.

What if there was a way to work with desire that actually feels good?

That's what we're exploring in today's episode.

Here I'll share:

• What is desire and why should we care?
• How pure desire is different from lust and yearning
• Healing Desire Shame/Why we shut down our desire and what we can do about it
• Desire, pleasure and the Law of Attraction
• A simple four step process to get clear on your deepest desires and create your life from the inside out

Your time is such a precious resource and for most women it seems like it's in short supply. If you feel like your days are packed and you barely have time to take a deep breath, you're in good company.

The pace of life can definitely create a strong narrative that we have no time for pleasure, creativity, joy and all the good things in life.

I get that.
I feel that way at times as well.
And I want to challenge that.

Creating spaciousness in our lives is essential for tapping into our pleasure and our magic.

The tough news is that no one can create that space in our lives except us.
No blaming and shaming here, but it's so true.

The tsunami of busyness is consuming women around the globe.
Not to sound too alarmist but it's reaching a crisis level.

But we can turn the tides, when we decide.
We have a lot more agency than modern culture leads us to believe.

Is pleasure selfish?
I used to think so.
What I've found to be true is the opposite.

The deeper I've gone into my sensual embodiment practices over the last 15 years or so, the more I see the effect it continues to have not just on me but on everyone in my life.

As within, so without.

And I see similar effects with my clients.

There are a number of things I've observed over the years that can happen when a woman commits to her pleasure I'll list just a few.

When we reclaim our pleasure:

• We build presence, power and resilience.
• We become more joyful, hopeful, more peaceful and naturally more full of gratitude. 
• We become more creative.
• We reclaim our natural radiance; we glow.
• We celebrate the beauty and power of other women.
• We start to appreciate men.
• We become more fully alive, passionate and inhabit our libido.
• We begin to take better care of ourselves in all ways.
• We're more able to find our calm in the storm and better at not sweating the small stuff. 
• We get better at honoring and feeling our emotions and are able to tap into their wisdom.
• We connect more deeply to our intuition.
• We stop blaming, and take responsibility. 
• We're more able to step away from drama and get better at cultivating connection.
• We begin to feel full, fueled; deeply nourished. 
• We align with our true north.
• We claim our worth, begin to value ourselves more and often get better with money.
• We begin to get really clear on our desires and speak our truth.  
• We get much better at setting boundaries. We find our voice in a new way.
• We begin to have more body confidence in and out of the bedroom.
• We don't fret about growing older, we relish it.
• We become multi-orgasmic.
• We start to fall in love with ourselves in a very deep and even romantic way. 
• We find true compassion for ourselves and others.

These are all different facets of embodying the sacred feminine essence within.

And it changes everything.

Pleasure, your pleasure, is really the foundation of how you can truly live the life you came here to live. And give your gifts from a full cup.

One of the silver lining gifts of the challenging pandemic years was the rise of the home practice. During global lockdown folks got busy creating home gyms, meditation spaces, yoga spaces and more.

By carving out physical space in their homes, people went deeper with whatever practice they were engaging with. That's empowerment!

When it comes to mindful sensuality practice, Tantric and Taoist practices, contrary to popular belief, you don't need to go to Bali, or Thailand or Tulum.

I've found that the best way to get sustainable results with practices like the Jade Egg, is to have a dedicated home practice.

That doesn't mean we need to go it alone.

Sisterhood is essential for sensual healing.

Enter the internet!

Who knew that a Zoom room could double as a Venus Temple?!

I feel that when a woman gets to explore these kinds of practices in her own space and at her own pace and she gets to have sisterhood support as well, we have a recipe for success.

Home practice plus global virtual sisterhood is a winning combination.

Can your sensuality be the missing link to true embodied self trust? The kind of guidance that will never steer you wrong? I believe it can.

We're so conditioned to look outside of ourselves for the answers.

With the amount of information we now have available to us via the internet, it's never been more challenging to tune in and trust ourselves.

When you find yourself anxious, overwhelmed, doubting yourself, in limbo, finding it hard to make decisions and speaking your truth, I believe pleasure is the antidote.

What? Yes. Pleasure.

What I've found to be true is that when we awaken the erotic intelligence of the Yoni through pleasure practices, we awaken our inner oracle.

Yep, I said it. True, embodied self trust is sourced in the Yoni.

This is our direct line to the inner guidance of our sacred feminine wisdom. 
Where desire reigns supreme.

If you want to expand your pleasure, sensuality, creativity, vitality and access more of your sacred feminine essence, one of the most valuable things to get really skillful at is the art of slowing down.

When is comes to flow, pleasure, bliss and even love, everything we seek is within us. But how do we get sustainable access to it? How do we come out of the ever racing (and often fearful) mind and into our natural state of radiance, ease and flow?

Things around us move fast, the pace of life over the past 10 years has sped up massively and will continue to do so.

It's never been more important to know how to slow down, tune in and orient towards sensual pleasure as our default. This is how we access the internal compass of our inner wisdom and navigate our days with more authentic alignment and radiant magnetism.

If you're looking for some super practical tips on this, you're in the right place!
In this episode I share three of my favorite ways to get into, (and stay in) your feminine flow.

Money can be such a charged topic right? 

Just like talking about relationships and sex it can bring up such strong emotions.

Here's a journal prompt worth its weight in gold:  How do you actually want to feel in your intimate life? 

Connected? Nourished? Seen? Supported? Honored? Worshipped? Magical? Beautiful? Passionate? Wild? Free? Cosmic? Powerful? Authentic? Creative? Fluid? 

Please add to this list! When you know what you want you're in a place where you can actually cultivate it. And I want that for you.

Desire clarity is gold. Otherwise we can easily fall prey to betraying our authentic selves in love. And in every relationship. This is not your fault. This is the conditioning  we received from the very unbalanced culture that most of us were raised in. When it  comes to sex, we've been lied to, literally. 

The good news is we can choose to decondition. We can choose our truth.

Until we explore what we truly want erotically we end up on the path that so many women find themselves on.  Feeling angry, resentful, unloved, unworthy, overwhelmed, frustrated, disappointed, confused, shamed, the list goes on.

It doesn't have to be that way. You can take the reins and become your own best lover. And when you do, your experience with any lover(s) will shift.

If you're a woman who's craving more, and most women drawn to my work are, this one's for you. We have so much untapped potential, ladies. 

I feel that the biggest missing piece for so many of us is flow. The Yoni is all about flow; fluid power that nourishes and builds true connection. Sacred, cosmic connection.

When we tap into our fluid power by waking up the Yoni, our sex lives can become a source of deep nourishment; mind, body and soul.

After struggling for years with severe anxiety and conversion disorder Susanne hit the wall and decided to take her healing into her own hands.

She went from being afraid to leave her home to coming alive again and pursuing a career as a journalist immersing herself in the world of rock and roll and pop music covering musicians, music events and festivals.

In this episode Susanne shares about her journey and her struggles and disappointments along the way to find the solutions and support that truly worked for her.

I love this conversation so much as it really underscores how unique we all truly are, how we deserve custom support and how self love, self trust and safety are at the core of any healing journey.

The world is changing rapidly and at the heart of it all is the rise of the Sacred Feminine. 

This energy is multi-dimensional and it's going to look different for each of us.

There's no one way to be "feminine" and sacred doesn't necessarily mean serene.

As the feminine rises so do the parts of us that need healing.

Today I want to share a conversation I had with my dear friend and colleague Anita Kaiser.

Anita is a healer, a guide and priestess who's doing some powerful healing work in this realm.

We dive deep into what's truly needed to heal the wounded feminine and fully embody all of who we are.

I know most folks yearn for deep intimacy and lasting love in relationships.

And deep inside we have a hunch that's it's possible.

But how do we make that happen?

Modern love is a challenge to say the least.

The current state of intimacy in most long-term relationships is not what most couples dreamed it would be.

It's so easy to feel like you've lost the plot on love.

It's so easy to feel like you're the problem.

But what if that's simply not the case?

What if there was a new model of approaching sex?

One that could take the pressure off and support you in cultivating a vital intimate relationship lifelong?

My guests today; Sarah Rose Bright and Graeme Waterfield have a lot to share on this topic.

They're both seasoned practitioners and skilled teachers in the realm of Tantra and embodiment.

Their warmth, authenticity and wisdom is rare and beautiful.

I know they will inspire you as much as they continue to inspire me.

Self love is a lifelong journey isn't it?

There are always new experiences that come into our lives where we get to choose love. We get so many opportunities (that often masquerade as crises) where we get an invitation to choose to love ourselves first.

Although it's become such a cliche, loving ourselves first is not easy! It's really challenging for most folks. That totally makes sense. But we can shift into a deeper experience of full, embodied self love by empowering our small daily choices.

I feel that at the heart of it  is being willing to take an honest look at how our inner masculine is treating our inner feminine. And vice versa.

In this episode I dive into how we can cultivate a deeper, more intimate and even sexy relationship with ourselves. When we have the courage to dive into this inner work, things can shift massively. I feel that the realm of this inner dynamic is where true self love resides.

This is inner love affair can lead us to deeper inner harmony, self trust and whole lot more pleasure. Are you ready to reclaim your eros from within? This one's for you!

Our emotions are a power source. And yet most of us have been taught that our emotions are a problem. It can certainly feel that way util we learn how to work with them. And we won't get there by thinking about them.

The alchemical magic happens when we allow ourselves to feel our emotions and allow them to move through us. Only then can we harvest the wisdom hidden within them. And feel empowered by them rather than derailed by them.

Like a storm that rages through and leaves behind cleaner, crisper air, our emotions can clean house and give us clarity on whatever it is we are struggling with. And what we truly desire.

For this to happen we need to create the space to feel our emotions on the level of sensation. Embodiment is the master key. Embodied emotions have the alchemical power to turn lead into gold.

In this episode I share a personal experience of how emotional alchemy turned an evening that was going off the tracks completely around.

The Jade Egg or Yoni Egg practice is one of the most curative and empowering practices on the planet for the female pelvis. It's a mind, body, spirit practice that completely changed my life when I found it in my early 40s.

Dialing it back to that time I was having a lot of issues with my pelvis. After 3 big babies within 5 years I had some physical problems that I'd never addressed.

And when menopause hit at age 40 things escalated fast. I was experiencing chronic pelvic pain, dryness, incontinence, a low level of pelvic organ prolapse and sciatica.

Kegels weren't working for me nor was Pilates or Yoga.  In retrospect what I really needed was a holistic approach that embraced emotional integration and sensuality.

Luckily I found the Jade Egg practice and some incredible teachers who were emphasizing working with emotions in a powerful way and incorporating pleasure as part of the healing process.   
It changed everything.
