Human Becoming

Send us Fan Mail This week’s episode is also a big call to presence. We begin by dropping into our bodies and asking “can I be present with all of the sensations, emotions, and thoughts that will be created inside of me as I listen to this podcast episode?”. This is your invitation to arrive at this weekly healing session in a state of presence and bodyfulness, ready to listen to the feedback that...

Send us Fan Mail We live in a time where so many humans are making choices out of fear. Fear, in many ways, is the antithesis to Love. In the presence of fear, and the separation and disconnection that it creates, Love does not find fertile grounds to plant its seeds. As we watch the unfolding conflict between Russia and Ukraine, this week's episode is an exploration of what it means to find...

Send us Fan Mail This is the first episode of the third season of Human Becoming. Hoorah! In this episode, I introduce you to some of the themes we'll be moving through in the course of the season. What is the work of Love? How do we walk the path of Love? What even is Love, outside of the romantic, Hollywood notions we've been fed about it? How do we choose Love, in a world that is so f...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the season finale of human becoming, season two. What a journey we've been on. Through exploring desire and shame, boundaries, pleasure, the erotic, and our darkness, I have become more aware of who I am as a sexual being - and I hope you have too. This final episode is the last transmission that human becoming wants to offer before moving on to season three - whic...

Send us Fan Mail Hello, beautiful human becomings! This is the first episode of 2022. Yay! To start the year, we're doing a sexy intention-setting ritual together. What are some of your sexy intentions for this year? I invite you to get a pen and paper (or journal) and join me for this time of reflection as we think about what we are calling into our lives for the new year. I can feel in my b...

Send us Fan Mail Hello humans! This is the last episode of 2021. What a ride we've been on. This episode is a teaser for 2022 and what you can expect from the human becoming school! Awakening Pleasure is a series of workshops and classes, by yours truly, focused on supporting you in awakening to the deep levels of pleasure that I KNOW are possible for you! The first workshop, Unlocking Your E...

Send us Fan Mail I'm a bitch! It's one of the things I love most about myself. This episode is a valorization of the bitch, which I think is a refreshing substitute to the bitch-shaming that we're used to experiencing in society. But what is a bitch? Who is a bitch? What makes a bitch? And could you possibly be one (and could that be a good thing)? In the episode, I'll break do...

Send us Fan Mail This week's episode is an ode to the slut - and to the challenges of being one in the midst of our patriarchal world culture. I love being a slut, but sometimes it's hard! Amidst the shame and expectations of society, I find myself being torn between my own desires and the imposed shoulds and 'supposed to's that I've received throughout my life. I hope tha...

Send us Fan Mail Hello, dear human. Long time no see (or hear, or speak). How are you doing? I've been offline for the past few weeks and this episode is about exactly that. Where have I been? What have I been thinking about and experiencing? Consider it a catch-up between old friends. I talk about rest, the importance of the choices we make in creating the reality we want to experience, and...

Send us Fan Mail Blessed Samhain! This Human Becoming episode is being released at a very sacred time - on the festival day of Samhain and a day before this podcast turns one! In honour of this occasion, I am creating a space for collective release. What are you ready to let go of? This may be personal, ancestral or collective. I speak about the fears and resistances that I am ready to let go of,...

Send us Fan Mail This week's episode is a ride. We speak about one of my favourite topics - shame! Shame is an incredibly inhibiting - and human - force. It tells us that we are not good enough, that we are fundamentally bad in some way and that we are not worthy of love and connection because of some aspect of who we are. As a result, we stifle ourselves and disconnect from important parts o...

Send us Fan Mail This is an episode about shame, and desire, and the parts of ourselves that we call 'bad'. This is a very special dedication to the bad, to the unpalatable and the unsavory, to the perverse and the weird and the strange. This is a dedication to the erotic, and the darkness, and an ancestral reclamation of these powerful forces. For thousands of years they have been misun...

Send us Fan Mail This is a teaser for what is to come this Sunday! The call of the erotic is a beckoning into the darkness. Are you afraid of the dark? Are you ready to play in it? 

Send us Fan Mail I am imperfect. You are imperfect. We will never be perfect. While calling someone or something imperfect is often seen as an insult, in this episode I explore how embracing this fundamental truth can be deeply freeing. If I am not perfect, and nothing I ever create will be perfect, how can I allow myself to exhale? To release myself from the bonds of perfectionism and to embrace...

Send us Fan Mail Hello, dear listener. Thank you for joining me for today's listening session! This one is unscripted, straight from my heart and mouth to your ears. Unscripted episodes are a growing edge for me, but I love the possibility for discovery and playfulness and authenticity that they offer.  In this episode, we speak about embodiment! I talk about how we become desensitized to our...

Send us Fan Mail I'm dreaming of a different world, and if you're here - you are too! I'm dreaming of a world where the purpose of being alive is to simply embody ourselves more fully - not to grind under capitalism, or try to survive under a power-over system of multiple oppressions. I'm dreaming of a world in which we are truly free - free to be who we are and to offer our un...

Send us Fan Mail In this week's episode, we take a moment to settle in,  get embodied (whatever that means to you, and however that feels good!) to explore one of my favourite expansive universal forces - pleasure! We begin with a somatic practice, and an exploration of how we are feeling in our bodies, and then we transition into storytelling: as I tell you about my journeys with psilocybin...

Send us Fan Mail This was a fun episode to create. I speak about pussies (and how pussies are beyond gender!), boundaries, and honouring our authentic YES and NO.  But, in true human becoming fashion there are stories of vulvodynia and vaginismus, being a chronic yes man, gender socialization,  facing disappointment - both our own, and other people's - and so much more weaved throughout! This...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the first full episode of season two of human becoming! Thank you for joining me again. Today, we dive into shame, sexual exploration, healing with the inner child and how we can begin to embrace the fullness of who we are. It's starts with a story about how one of the first things I said I wanted to be when I grow up was a porn star which sets the stage for a refl...

Send us Fan Mail Hello! Long time no see. This is a bonus episode, an interlude between season one and season two.  It is story of how things turned out to be okay, about how crisis can be a portal, and a celebration of embodied hopefulness in challenging times. Here, I am reminded of the words of Rebecca Solnit who writes, “People have always been good at imagining the end of the world, which is...

Send us Fan Mail Hello! Welcome to the second season of human becoming. This episode is an introduction, to who I am now, what I have been up to for the past while, and to the future of podcast. The episode (literally) speaks for itself, so I'll let podcast-me do the talking. Enjoy!

Send us Fan Mail We have made it to the season finale! This episode is filled with many thanks - to you, to the earth, to all the teachers and guides that we have walked with through this journey of human becoming. This, too, is an episode of reflection. I reflect on the forces of life and death, birth and decay, release and renewal, and I invite you to reflect on what you are ready to release to...

Send us Fan Mail In this week's episode, I explore two teachers - suffering and compassion. I discuss what it means to open your heart to the suffering of the world and  to allow the rigid categories of disconnected self/other to dissolve. I walk you through my journey with compassion and what I have learned along the way. (Hint: Like suffering, compassion is entwined. Finding compassion for...

Send us Fan Mail In this week's episode, we will honour and praise anger, an emotion that can be hugely transformative when it is deeply understood.  This stance on anger that I offer is radically different to the messages that many of us have received around anger through our socialization, and I ask you to be gentle and non-judgmental with yourself as we walk through anger together. I also...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I will be speaking about the body and how vital it is in our healing and journey of becoming human. The body is an enormous topic of exploration, but I will talk about the journey that my body has taken in this lifetime. From the shame that arises from our gender socialization, to sex and boundary crossings, to contemplating the nature of my suffering through my d...
