Vagina Talks with Sophia Wise One is a podcast where embodied world-changing powerhouses and I turn poison into medicine through the alchemical journey of dismantling the lies we’ve been told about who we are, what we are, what we are supposed to be and do, and what we’ve been doing so that we can remember the truth, share the truth, and eventually become the truth.
#CompostingThePatriarchy through all the arts: ceremony, music, body reclamation, visual and sculptural art, liberatory pedagogy and education, plant wisdom, sexual re-education, alchemy, trauma recovery, and subtle vibrational field augmentation, to name a few.
It’s a landscape of enjoying our own and each other's personal power. Here, we collectively cocreate a planetary culture that is caring, restorative, generative, optimizing, and kind.

Beloved listeners, as we bring this season of Vagina Talks to a close, we begin to look forward to the next shape this show will take. The winds of change are blowing and it can often be very soothing to take refuge from those winds in our temples. Perhaps your temple is an elaborate garden, or perhaps it is a grand marble building on a hill, maybe it is a warm and rustic kitchen by the ocean. The temple is a place you can go to any time you want, and can be very grounding during times of change. So as we discover together what the next season of Vagina Talks will look like, we hope to see you in the temple!
Here is a practice in which we Go To a Temple for healing and blessing

097 Listening to the Body's Subtle Cues
Season 5 · Episode 97
Tuesday, August 15, 2023 • Duration 24:44
Beloved listeners, we have a very sweet episode for you this week. Sophia talks about the deceptively simple tool of listening to your body's signals and cues when they are quiet instead of waiting for the all hands on deck emergency alarms. Some easy examples are cooking food before you're the kind of hungry where you think you might faint, or getting ready for bed before you feel like melting down and crying like a toddler. This concept can spread out to so many more aspects of your life than just your basic bodily needs. Maybe you're getting subtle cues about a relationship dynamic, or your work. Maybe about how you travel or find moments of joy and gratitude. Sophia has some lovely thoughts that are here to help us all noodle out what to do next. Your body already knows.

Season 4 · Episode 87
Thursday, May 20, 2021 • Duration 01:28:24
Beloveds! We are joined this week again by the incredible Brittany Policastro. Brittany calls in the beauty and potent healing that can be found in ordinary moments. She and Sophia can often be found performing elaborate rituals and those will always have their vital role in healing this world, but there is just as much rich energy in washing dishes when that is the aligned move. These two talk about polyamory and the freedoms it provides as well as the mental reframing that many of us need to do when entering into such spacious agreements. This episode has the ease of two old friends catching up, because that's what it is. But when those two old friends are such incredible healing powerhouses, we all benefit from listening in.
This conversation is raw and ripe with personal sharing. Do you know that "breakup" "heartache" Sophia keeps making reference to without talking about? She finds space and support to share the dish on it in this episode.
Get cozy, or pumped, or anything in between, maybe you'll find the exquisite ordinary in your own life as you listen to this sweet episode!
We explore the various definitions of pleasure and how it can help people to release themselves from the conditioning, discomfort, and trauma holding them trapped in ineffective habits that are negatively affecting their relationships, orgasms, pleasure experience, and ability to succeed. We review various ways to heal and learn more about their body and their orgasmic ability.

083 Protecting Your Womb with Eden Edge
Season 4 · Episode 83
Friday, February 19, 2021 • Duration 01:13:19
Eden Edge shares her of menarche journey and how it led her to establishing business to provide education and convenient resources for menstruating women. “And so for five years, I stopped my menstrual flow for five years, I suffocated myself, my reproductive system, my vagina, all of that. And so after those five years were up, I, which would put me in 2012 I have suffered my body, as far as trying to get my body back on track, it's really taken that long.” She mentions how she discovers disturbing information about sanitary napkins and the chemicals that were put in the napkins. “They're companies that are allowed to use a chemical that elongates the cycle. Over time, the more you use these products, it's going to make that cycle longer.”
In this episode, Eden Edge informs the Vagina Talk listeners about her mission to support and educate others who have had similar experiences. She exchanges her view on how to create a place that provides healthier product options and information to women on how to care for their bodies.

The awareness of harmful chemicals used in mainstream feminine products
In 2012, Eden Edge was forced to terminate her baby due to an ectopic pregnancy. After consulting with her physician and doing a little research, she found out that her uterine wall and fallopian tubes had chemical scarring. Eden's physician stated that the type of birth control she was using along with certain feminine care products were filled with harmful chemicals such as chloroform, aluminum, and acetone. Her body had been absorbing these chemicals for over five years! Hearing this information was tough but it was then that Eden decided to adapt some healthier habits.

I'm Samantha Rise, and welcome to vagina talks, where we speak about to from vaginas. This is a show of alchemy, where we turn poison into medicine, disconnection into wisdom and isolated wounds into communal peacemaking. Here's your host, Sophia Wise One.
Sophia Wise One
You already know everything they could teach you you already know everything they could say. We are here to remind you what you already already already know.
I just want to take a minute to acknowledge that Vagina Talks understands that gender is fluid and dynamic and goes way beyond the binary of either woman or man, she or him. And that, in fact, it's a living and evolving thing that's actually personal person to person. And that our bodies, even our understanding, or the ways that we experience them can vary.
It's important for me that that's something that has space here on vagina talks. And at the same time, I also am carrying this understanding that womanhood and the experience of the feminine and all of the female, in the splitting of that binary, has been injured has been hurt has been dismantled.
And so I'm looking to have a space where the feminine and the female and the female body is reclaimed and respected and lifted and inspected and known, as well as a space that goes beyond the binary. And that acknowledges that these are limited constructs, mostly put upon us, and that we're in the process of evolving into something more whole and more true.
Just wanted to say that some of my guests will use incredibly binary language for whatever reason from the places that they come from. And I just wanted to let you know that Vagina Talks has a much wider understanding, and it's a living one. So feel free to chime in as we go along....
48:50 “I believe that we are co-creatively, rebirthing the planet, our culture and reality as we know it right now. And pleasure, sex, and power are huge components of that shifting landscape.” - Sophia Wise One.
35:45
“That very thing that we're wanting someone else to provide, is really useful information about the very thing that we are asking ourselves to provide, or to experience, or open up to, to make that possible in our own lives.” - Sophia Wise One
