144. How to Pick a Sex Toy

This episode is sparked from all the questions I get from people. Whether it’s at the parties I do, my DMs or just people I meet out and about. How to pick a sex toy? How do I even know where to start? I’ve been in the “sex toy slinging” industry for over 8 years now, the top selling category of toys that I have is clitoral toys. Over 85% of women need clitoral stimulation to orgasm, so only about 20% of women are going to orgasm from vaginal penetration. So when you’re thinking about what kind ...

142. Uncompromising Intimacy with Alexandra Stockwell

I’m so grateful to have this conversation today with Doctor Alexandra Stockwell, also known as the “The Intimacy Doctor”. She’s here to talk about the importance of Uncompromising Intimacy. Throughout at least North America the most common relationship advice that is given is “you need to compromise. If you want a happy marriage, you have to be good at compromise.”. If what you want is a pleasant, bland, companionship, then compromise will definitely get you there. But if what you want is electr...

140. Men's Mental Health Work with Elise Micheals

I’m so pumped to have Elise, a men's mental health coach, on today all the way from Mexico! A lot of us go through a hamster wheel phase where we just kind of do what society tells us, and then we get to a point where that’s no longer working. It isn't allowing us to reach our full potential, passion, or purpose. Men reach out to Elise wanting to really see who they are for the first time. How can family systems affect mental health as an adult? When you’re a baby you have no idea how the world ...

I’m very excited to have Alexandra on to talk today about prostate play, it’s something I haven't specifically talked about on the podcast before!

138. Energy Vampires (Halloween Special)

I recently read a book called Own Your Energy, by world renowned energy healer Alla Svirinskaya. I want this episode to allow us to do a check within ourselves and our own behaviors, but also to help you identify people in your life that may also be energy vampires. The Emotional Blackmailer These are very kind, generous people. But soon they are going to start being demanding towards you, and you’ll feel like you want to back off but your guilt is going to set in because of how generous they’ve...

So excited to have Kelsey on today!

How did Kelsey get into the world of psychedelics or psilocybin? Cannabis has forever been touted as the gateway drug, and for her it was in a way. After spending her teenage years on different pharmaceuticals from injuries doing gymnastics, she knew she wanted to get i...

I’m so thankful for Instagram and the wonderful resource that it is helping me cross paths with so many people. Chelsea Adair is one of those people, and I am so so excited to have her on today! She’s here to talk all about the feminine and masculine sides of sacred sexuality. What does Chelsea suggest for someone looking to embrace their feminine more?

131. Effects of Long Term Birth Control Use

This episode has been a long time coming. It was my decision to get off birth control after reading the book In The Flo by Alisa Vitti, which was honestly a staple in my personal growth and my growth as a woman to learn more about my body. Through this book I learned that when the body goes through the menstruation for people who are on birth control, it’s not even a real period. That was all I needed to know, I started really taking a closer look at my periods and looking inward. What are the l...

130. Erectile Dysfunction, Early & Delayed Ejaculation

Through the process of joining the Sex & Love Co team, I have had more male referrals. Though my work is really centered around women’s sexual health, men’s sexual health is also near and dear to my heart. There are a number of things that men seek out sex coaching, therapy, counseling for. I find these to be the most common: Low or no sexual desire Early or pre-ejaculation Erectile dysfunction Delayed Ejaculation Sexual inhibition Body Dysmorphia Social or dating skills needed to be strengt...

I am just so pumped for this episode today! I had Lala reach out on Instagram saying she would make a great guest on my podcast and I could not agree more!

I'm over the moon excited that Lala is here to be able to share her experience in audio eroticism. ...

We have an awesome guest on this podcast today! We have talked about this topic before, with Coutney Brame where he took us through his herpes journey and gave us a lot of guidance around all the things.

About a year into their relationship, they had already participated in group sex together, but wanted to have sex together and bring in another woman. They had alrea...

Being a woman myself, I know we are super complicated creatures. We are not a one size fits all, or even easily understood. Often times I find that men are just trying to keep up. They’re trying to figure out what makes their woman tick. I’ve had the honor of working with more and more male clients in this past year, and it’s been incredible. But this work doesn’t just have to be for women, there’s such a beautiful side getting into the masculine and working with men. I’m launching my next progr...
