See below for more info on how to get involved~ What's the point of awakening? How can we love without attachment? Can I love without losing myself?  In this vulnerable and heartfelt conversation, I open the space to...

Does the purity of the water we drink truly make a difference to our health and well being? How does our connection to water impact our lives? This gentle and intimate conversation with my new friend Violia Oschütz, whose passion is the element of Water, dives us deep into how water is the source of life and mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. If you are looking to learn more about...

How does one meet the initiation of birth and parenthood with consciousness? In this episode I sit down with birth practitioner and teacher of women wisdom Olivia Seck as we delve into the gifts and lessons that can come through moving through these life altering processes. Reflecting on our own personal stories we uncover and share tools and ways of relating with ourselves and the transitions of...

After recently losing my mother, I am very grateful to have sat down with my dear friend Carmella B’Hahn who is an author, Bereavement Counsellor, Heartfull Relationship Coach and workshop facilitator with 37 years of experience in the field of personal development and self-awareness. Carmella has extensive experience with loss and grieving, which includes: the sudden death of her young son and su...

In this juicy episode, I sit down with Araceli Garcia Bajo who has been exploring BDSM and bringing consciousness to the expression of violence, dominance and submission within sexuality for the last 15 years. How can we take our power back if we have been physically or sexually abused? Can we explore the deeper and darker parts of our sexual fantasies to further our expansion and inner freedom? D...

How can we unleash our personal power in the service of healing and expansion when our understanding of power is so closely linked with the conflicts and violence we see in the world and in our history? In this episode, I am very excited to be sitting down with Natasha Volkosh, founder of the Russian consciousness community ReLove, as we go deep into the different definitions of these words and di...

Do you resist being alone and crave social interaction or feel the need to depend on others to make sure all your needs are met so you can truly be happy and at peace? When you are alone, do you find yourself tuning out the silence with screens/extra stimuli to fill the gap? In this episode, I break down the differences between loneliness and aloneness, and how when we are truly present with ourse...

How can we enter situations we dread, with more softness and receptivity? Without our defences coming up? When we walk into situations and circumstances that feel hostile and unwelcoming, we naturally tend to defend ourselves from the possible judgment and attack that could be coming our way. To protect our vulnerability, we can often fall into the 'prosecutor' and 'victim' sta...

How can physical acts of intimacy truly meet the longing of our souls? In this episode I peel apart what serves and what doesn’t serve us to make this exchange truly transformative, which I believe is its potential. Over millennia, we have inherited through patriarchy generational shame and repression of our innate pleasure. But by allowing ourselves to be seen in all that we can be and all that t...

Love is an easy word. But if you’re not in your power, and I am not in mine, then it cannot arise between us. So love is not lovey-dovey. Love must be preceded by power. What is power? Power comes through vulnerability, through repeated and consistent vulnerability. Through the willingness to be naked, to risk all, to stand and be blown away by the winds of life and death, we enter humility, and e...

How can we share innate pleasure and erotic potency within our current structures of marriage, commitment and relationships? If we feel we are sacrificing or compromising a deep part of our human nature that yearns for discovery and expansion? In this potent episode, I share with you what I feel is a very timely and worthwhile inquiry. Within the structures up until now we have had to choose betwe...

Pleasure and pain are inherent in our life experience. Like anything in this reality, there is a continual contrast of two poles; day and night, yin and yang, pleasure and pain and so on. This is how life displays duality. However, when one seeks pleasure outside of oneself, fears or avoids pain and creates division of these two forces; it can make our relationship with these two poles very challe...

Can we be more inclusive to who we are in our relationships? Can we dare to love beyond the romantic models we have learnt and experience true intimate freedom? In this episode I invite you to look beyond the limitations of labels and relationship dynamics and structures that have been formulated through patriarchy and history, and discover a new landscape of love. We all have a right to pleasure,...

In this episode I share with you an invitation to go beyond the endless agony and longing cycles within relationships that our personal and collective conditioning lays us bound to. Looking at the possibility of communion of masculine and feminine within ourselves, can bring us to another level of expansion of consciousness which is beyond the survival, persecutor, victim dynamic we've been f...

We all hold both masculine and feminine energy within ourselves. In this episode we take a deep dive into understanding these qualities and how they operate within us. Through patriarchal infrastructures, we have learnt to polarise and identify these energies by gender. However the bridging of these two poles is so relevant and important right now. Exploring the possibility of an inner marriage be...

After integrating and working with the four elements that make up our being - Earth, Fire, Water, Air, and working with the archetypal energies they hold; we are ready to take charge of them and go from being the created to the creator . Do you seek freedom, intimacy and tenderness? Do you wish to effortlessly flow through life in a sweet state of openness, moving through its challenges in a way t...

We all have a wise one within us. In my work, it is the element of air, of spaciousness, the internal shamana or shaman archetype, that lives within us and is in constant contact with cosmic intelligence. The mind, while being a powerful tool, is not the portal to discover this power within you. Because the mind is based on the past programming we have, and looking through the eyes of conditioning...

To connect with the element of air, we look at our capacity to have a sense of space, emptiness and the void. In our external world there is constant stimulation and bombardment to the senses, and for many of us, this is creating a barrier to the spaciousness we deeply long for. “I need space", "I’m too full", "I need a break”, these are familiar statements because for so many...

How can we feel truly satisfied in our intimacy with ourselves and others? Living in a time of instant gratification and disconnection, that’s taking us into a wider internal void that needs filling? If our waters are not flowing in alignment, the distortion can lead us to addictions of all kinds. We seek and we need that sweetness, that satisfaction. But we have not learnt that we do not need to...

I am so grateful to have been able to sit down with Eva Serra in this special Mother-Daughter episode. Together we dove deep into the personal and collective wounding that many of us hold around our biological and archetypal mothers. What do you keep and what do you reject from what was given to you? How do you forge your own path when it appears that one has been set out for you?  We discuss the...

How can we bathe in the waters of intimacy, eroticism and sensuality? Out of the constraints and the desperation that is in our society for that to happen in ways that creates a desert in our soul? When we look at the archetype of water, the lover, we explore our capacity to be sweet and soft and undefended to life. We learn to flow with our feelings and emotional world so we can make communion wi...

In this episode I invite you to take a deeper look at what has happened to the fire within you. Most of us have learnt to either repress this part of ourselves, or it has been encouraged in a way that does not truly serve us. Befriending this potent energy is essential to create the positive changes we truly desire for our lives. You no longer need to be or play the victim, persecutor, rescuer.. W...

We all know what it feels like to have some level of suppressed frustration and anger. And unfortunately when we let this build up, we can end up pouring it out into our most intimate relationships. By learning to recognise and direct this fiery impulse (that started for most of us at a very young age) we can begin to harness the powers of transformation that it holds. Take the reins, be the rider...

Earthing ourselves is an important step in remembering who we really are. In this episode I share with you the importance of making peace with the earth, and with our biological and archetypal mothers. Discover practices to ground your presence, deepen your connection, and open yourself up to the emotional and metabolic healing that can come from re-bonding with the earth. Connect~ Website: femini...

How can we feel a sense of belonging in ourselves? In a world where there is so much disconnection from the land and from each other? Here I share how connection with the earth element in our bodies, and the archetypal mother, holds the key to our confidence and our embodiment of intimate freedom. Begin to unveil one of the greatest mysteries and gifts of the mother, our capacity to feel pleasure....
