The Vital Goddess

Hey Beautiful! If you’re a woman who wants to truly glow from the inside out and feel amazing, (and if you’re here, I know you are!). A woman who wants to be free to be all of who she fully is and live in alignment with her passion, desires and core values, (again, I’m pretty sure you are!), then you want to take your pleasure seriously.  Truly. This is a non-negotiable my friend! I know that when...

Hey Beautiful! We commonly hear libido described as “sex drive” or “the urge to have sexual intercourse” but there’s sooo much more to the story of turn on. Libido is your creative life force energy; your zest for life. And a thriving libido is central to your wellbeing whether you’re interested in having sexual partners or not. In Chinese medicine libido is called Jing and it’s considered to be o...

Hey Beautiful! This week on the pod I'm in conversation with the illustrious Belinda Wiley! We dive deep into the female libido, the importance of pleasure, the essentials of true intimacy and chocolate meditation:) Belinda is a New Zealand based intimacy coach who helps couples reignite the passion in their relationships. Her warmth, humor and heart centered approach to this work (and to lif...

Today I want to riff a bit on a topic that I know so many women are curious about and maybe even frustrated and confused by; the female libido. One of the chief complaints heard in doctors offices and in couples counseling  from women of all ages is that of low libido.  There’s a lot there. And there is no short answer or quick fix.  I feel we need a holistic approach when tending to the female li...

Hey Beautiful! I know things can get a bit hectic this time of year in general and on top of that we’ve got a lot going on in the world right now. I wanted to put a little something together to support you staying in your feminine flow this holiday season. So this episode is all about The Vital Goddess Radiant Holiday Bundle. Here I break down three simple practices that will really help you stay...

Hey Beautiful! In today’s episode I dive into a topic that so many women are familiar with; pelvic pain. There are many different types of pelvic pain, some requiring medical attention, but for women seeking a holistic approach, The Taoist Jade Egg Practice may be the solution you’ve been looking for. Pelvic pain was a big wake up call for me. It was my own journey with pelvic pain and other issue...

Hey Beautiful! As the feminine energy rises on the planet, “ the times they are a- changing ”.  Never before have we had such a mass interest in holistic healing and wellbeing.  We’re waking up to our true nature and potential.  We’re expanding. And we’re craving more depth. While super foods, power smoothies, fitness, Yoga and meditation are always going to be foundational to well being, a new ta...

Hey Beautiful! If you've been around me for bit, you probably know that I'm part mystic and part tips and tools/nuts and bolts kind of gal. I love tripping out in the bliss realms where body meets spirit, Rumi poetry, the joy and ecstasy of the heart, full body O etc...   And I really like precision. I love systems that work (former Pilates teacher over here)! This episode is a good illu...

Hey Beautiful! This is an episode about control. And I used to have lots of it.  And it didn’t feel so good. While I love that old Janet Jackson song, too much control can be really problematic. As a former (and at times still recovering) control freak, I know this terrain well and I feel it’s something worth exploring.  There’s a lot here. I mean, who doesn’t like a little control? It can feel so...

Hey Beautiful! Another Eclipse season is upon us! Even if you know nothing about astrology, just like when Mercury spins retro, it can be useful to know that things are not operating in "regularly scheduled program" mode.  Eclipse season happens about every 6 months and offer us powerful invitations to make a quantum shifts. I like to call these cauldrons of transformation as the opportu...

Hey Gorgeous! I’m so excited to share today’s episode with you.  It’s all about tuning in to your feminine genius. And trusting it. Self trust is tricky isn’t it?  It can seem so “fly by night.”  One minute you can feel so sure of something, the next, not so much. We know that trusting ourselves is essential to living a full, authentic life. And we all crave more of the peace, clarity and presence...

Hey beautiful! Today I want to share a bit of what I've learned about true core power after years of teaching Pilates, Power Yoga & Barre and The Jade Egg. One thing's for sure, it's not about abs of steel! While I love movement and I'm all about having a toned, well functioning core, being armored up in the core can actually do a lot of harm.  Chronically sucking in the be...

Hey there Gorgeous! How do you feel about Kegel exercises? Do you love them? Do you hate them? Do you do them?   To be honest, I've never been a fan. Most of the women I know feel similarly. Although the big K is still the standard advice for pelvic floor care, and can definitely deliver some tangible results, so many women I've met through my work over the years have had a hunch that th...

Hey there Gorgeous! Today I want to share a bit on something we all encounter pretty much on the daily; stress. Stress is a fact of life, but unless we have the right tools to navigate it, it can wreak havoc on us body, mind and soul. It saps our vitality, ages us prematurely, cause all kinds of mental and physical aliments, and tanks our libido. When we store unprocessed stress and the emotions c...

Hey there Gorgeous! As the soulful, heart-centered women you are, you're constantly looking for new and better ways to bring more joy, love, peace and harmony into the world, am I right? I love that about you! (And thank you, btw!) And because of that I'm sure that there are lots of people drawn to your light and clamoring for your precious time, energy & essence. Yes? And let's...

Hey Gorgeous!  Today I want to get a little cosmic with you. Are you game? I want to talk about astrology and how it can work for you. Hear me out:) At first glance astrology can seem kinda woo, I get it. But I’m here to say while on the one hand, yes it’s magical and I love that.  And on the other hand it’s super practical and I love that too. What I love so much about astrology is that it can gi...

"Rage is passion without a place to play." A teacher dropped that truth bomb on me when I was navigating probably the most emotionally charged season of my life. I was deeply immersed in my menopause journey, and for me it was a wild ride. There was a lot going on. On so many levels. I was completely overwhelmed by the tsunami of emotions, (mostly anger and resentment), that were surging...

Hey Goddess, I know you’re rocking it in so many areas of your life, (but, yes, I'm daring to ask), how’s your love life? Are you like so many women on the planet..frustrated (to say the least)  in the love department? Like “let’s not even go there?” Maybe you’re done with the whole mess and decided to focus on all of the other things in life that give you joy? I hear you! And I've been...

Beauty is a loaded topic. I get it. The word alone can trigger a lot of emotion. That makes sense. It's been distorted, commercialized and youth-focused to such an extreme degree that we've pretty much lost the plot on beauty. Maybe we've even thrown in the towel. Again, I get it. Beauty has been distorted almost beyond recognition. It's been hijacked and infused with ridiculou...

To reclaim Aphrodite is to choose love over fear. It's a bold move. To claim your life force, shine unapologetically in the world, gift your gifts from a place of joy and pleasure and create your life from desire is your birthright. And it terrifies most women. While the fear is understandable, (thousands of years of patriarchy.) We can't let it stop us if we truly want to live the life...

Your feminine energy is as unique as your fingerprint. And so is every other part of you! We are such beautifully complex beings and not one of us is alike. One of the things I love most about astrology is that it maps that out for us. I started studying astrology around the same time I started to study Tantra and Taoist Sexual Yoga. In hindsight it all makes sense. It's all connected. I now...

Our daily habits and mindset can support us or sabotage us. We've all accumulated a certain degree of negative believes and unhealthy habits when it comes to the feminine. No blame or shame here, but it's something we really need to take a look at if we want to truly embody our feminine power. Cultural conditioning and the push towards external validation has reached a crisis point. And...

Beauty. Abundance. Passion. Ecstasy aka Orgasm. Love.   I call these the 5 Sacred Codes of Venus. These are things that most women are craving and yet we've been massively led astray. We've been led in the exact opposite direction of where we need to go. We've been taught to look outside of ourselves, fed the toxic mimic of these things which creates a hungry ghost in our feminine s...

I’m just chomping at the bit to share this episode with you!  Today I’m in conversation with Julia Lally.  Julia is a poet, witch and mentor who loves helping women reclaim their juice and feminine power through a practice called sex magic. At this time of great change and shifting paradigms Julia is a voice of grounded spirituality, true feminine empowerment, magic, mystery and ancient and modern...

What or who is the Wild Feminine within? There's a lot in the online space these days about unleashing the wild feminine or re-wilding the feminine. While I think that's awesome, I think some of the marketing out there can be misleading. I've seen a lot of messaging that implies that for a woman to reclaim her wild she needs to be overtly sexual and/or she needs to go through some k...
