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 to ourselves. In this episode, I want to break down and explore common me...

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 sharing all about why we experience limerence, how to recognise the signs, and how to ...

50 | Compulsory heterosexuality has been ingrained into us since we were born.

Today's guest Anna is a Russian-born Australian author and a passionate bi-plus activist based in Sydney. Anna is the author of soon-to-be released book, 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 with being productive. In this episode, we explore the fallacy of consis...

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 anything to do with women's sexual function is seen as unimportant. Today...

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 this, you need aftercare. Aftercare is the ways in which you continu...

46 | For many of us, especially those who identify as women or vulva owners, our arousal doesn't get sparked simply by the visual.

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 real sex stories written by women and queer people. Aurore is designed to turn...

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, specifically for bisexual and bicurious women, for over seven years. Genevieve LeJeune 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 framework that helps you achieve total feminine embodiment from the i...
