Conscious Sexuality

Hi friends. I am popping in with a life, journey update! Where have I been all this time? What's the plan next?

Tune in to this short but sweet episode to hear my thoughts and where i'm at.

The pelvic floor. It’s complex, it holds our reproductive organs, it supports us and grows with us in pregnancy. It’s a wondrous part of our body, but we know so little and also assume so much of what we experience is normal. Today’s episode breaks down the pelvic floor, it’s job and why we should also see a pelvic floor physiotherapist, at least once!! It’s not as scary as you think and Erin breaks it all down for us today.

The Female Focus has been developed through Erin’s personal experience with birth and recovery, combined with over a decade of professional experience as a physiotherapist - creating a place dedicated to helping women in their journeys through pregnancy and beyond.

Erin has extensive experience in private practice and enjoys managing sports and musculoskeletal injury as well as pelvic health concerns. She has helped clients who range from international level athletes with serious injury through to women recovering from c-sections. She is passionate about helping women achieve their optimal health and fitness, regardless of their stage of life.

This conversation was on a whole other level! I’m so excited to bring this conversation with Leneth to you. We covered so many topics from spiritual feminism, to sisterhood, sacred boundaries, the act of remember and then activating the wild woman within and so much more juicyness! Leneth also shared some really practical tips on how to activate your wild woman. Make sure you check out Leneth’s platforms and hear her content!

Through her platform The Spiritual Feminist, Leneth Witte brings together feminism, spirituality and female empowerment to show women where and how they can rise up. She is an experienced womxn’s circle facilitator and an intuitive mentor. Her podcast The Spiritual Feminist features interviews on topics such as mental health, alternative medicine, different spiritual practices and how womanhood defines us. With the Spiritual Feminist, Leneth offers a safe space for women’s own spiritual journey to unfold.

I’m bringing another epic episode to you today! I’ve brought in Human Design Expert Sara Bacon to enlighten us into the world of Human Design. I found Human Design last year and was enthralled immediately! I discovered and understood so much more about myself and have loved being able to research and gain so much extra knowledge around it. Human Design is a great tool to use for self discovery, if you love learning more about yourself!

Sara is a 1/3 Manifesting Generator with Emotional Authority, answers to the nickname “Glitter," loves fancy dinners and dive bars equally, and believes that becoming our most whole and alive selves is the very best gift we can offer the world.

Here we are with another episode for the podcast! I interviewed Asti Maree and Brittney Vangestel on the topic of sisterhood! We recorded this episode back in late 2020 and dug into why it’s so important for us to be changing the paradigm around how women relate to women. Enough with the competition, it’s time to partner up! Asti and Brittney created an epic program called YOU ME HER which was all about bring women together and uplifting each other. This episode is super encouraging and if you’re someone that struggles with sisterhood, reach out! You don’t have to keep going alone. These babes also have their own epic podcast TURNED ON AND ON PURPOSE, go have a listen after this!

Asti Maree turns high-achieving women into sensual and desirable goddesses so they can manifest confidence, desirability, passion and a turn-on for life! She sells her own pleasure toys, sexuality embodiment courses and offers female sexuality retreats.

Brittney is sassy, nurturing, loving, funny & has a straight down the line attitude. She will tell you what you need to hear & not necessarily what you want to hear. She takes women on the most beautiful journey's back home to their purpose, their truth and their magnetic energy by unlocking their limitless potential.

With her bag of tools in psychic mediumship, channeling, being in your body (don't let that scare you- it's fucking amazing because she knows where the wounds are hiding and she will feel what you are feeling and can guide you out of it), deep DNA energy healing & upgrades but also clear action plans to allow you to truly step IN to what you came here to do.

What an episode I have for you this time around. This conversation that I had with Tara Teng was epic. We covered the intersectionality of sexuality and spirituality, we spoke about purity culture, we spoke about decolonisation and our anti-racism work that is part of being a fully embodied human. We discussed the layers that are involved in life, the layers that we need to make sure are involved in our life, supporting the LGBTQA+ humans and the ethical and sustainability choices we need to make in our lives. If you have never heard of Tara or you have never spoken to her or heard her words she is an absolutely incredible human that has dedicated so much of her life already to Justice and I'm really stoked for this episode. There's not much more that I can say to convince you to press play so just press play!

Tara Teng is a TEDx Speaker, former Miss Canada, and Embodiment Coach working in the intersections of spirituality and sexuality. She helps people come home to themselves, dismantling purity culture and reclaiming embodiment as a spiritual practice so your whole self can live and thrive in wholeness. Aside from her 1:1 coaching mentorships, Tara hosts women’s circles, workshops, online classes and retreats throughout Vancouver, Canada on the topics of theology, justice, embodiment, sexuality, and relationships.

Tara comes to this work after ten years working to advance the socio-economic status of women and end human trafficking alongside collaborative work with community stakeholders, lawmakers, and some amazing organizations.  Her advocacy work has helped to pass new laws in Canada that protect victims of human trafficking and she has established Canada’s first Municipal Action Plan to Combat Human Trafficking. She was named Canada’s “Woman of the Year” in 2011, named one of the Globe and Mail’s “Top 25 Most Transformational Canadians”, received an International Heroes award from the Joy Smith Foundation, as well as the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal in recognition of her vast human rights work.

In her personal life, Tara is a single mother to two young children. She continues to invest in her community as a mentor with the Miss BC leadership program and often speaks at local schools and events in the community.

She lives, works and plays on the unceded traditional territories of the Kwantlen, Matsqui, Katzie and Semiahmoo First Nations.

I am jumping up and down at the moment and ever so excited to introduce today’s guest today...CLAIRE BAKER! I have followed Claire for a few years now and her period and cycle wisdom has been pivotal in my own personal journey of coming off the pill and learning my cycle and its ebbs and flows. I was sooo pumped when Claire said yes to being on my podcast! I’m sure you know what to expect already from this episode, but we cover off on all the juicy cycle wisdom and also hear more about Claire’s journey and where she is now. We also talk about the sacredness of period blood and how we can honour our bodies and Mother Earth during our menstrual cycle. Get into this episode!

Claire Baker is a sought-after period coach, author and speaker. For nearly a decade Claire has taught thousands of women how to live in harmony with their menstrual cycle, rather than working against it. Claire believes menstrual cycle awareness is the missing key in women’s wellbeing, empowerment and creativity, and her immersive online courses and workshops inspire women to know their flow and become the authority in their own lives.

TW: Mention of suicide within this episode.

Welcome back for another episode! I’m so excited to bring Jacob onto the podcast. Jacob is the husband of my beautiful friend Grace (Episode 5) and so I was excited to bring another male voice into the ever evolving conversation around sexuality, spirituality, the masculine, the feminine and the list can just go on!

In this episode we chat about the stigma around mens health, learning to tap into the feminine, pornography, and Jacobs 4 Pillars of Strength program for men. Tune in, send it to your male friends, this is one hell of an episode!

Jacob is a Mens Coach who guides men into being confident, fulfilled and happy human beings through teaching them to become stronger within their physical bodies, their mentality, their emotions and their spirituality. After experiencing multiple failed relationships, cheating and being cheated on, a suicide attempt and the almost destruction of his business, Jacob quickly learned what it was like to be ‘stuck in the rut’.

Through years of personal development, internal work and developing systems and strategies to move through his own challenges, he now coaches men across the country who have low self worth, no confidence and no direction and turns them into truly STRONG men.

Welcome back to Season 2 of the podcast! Today’s guest is Morgan Day Cecil, this is her second time on my podcast and I love having her on! Today Morgan chats about the School of Feminine Wholeness and a new kind of woman! This woman who believes that wholeness is available to her, the permission and worthiness that comes with it is 100% available to her (you!). The depth that is reached through The Embody Academy is outstanding. Morgan is invested in your wholeness with you and this beautiful group format is so healing! Tune into this episode to hear more about it and WHY you should join.

Morgan is a Mother, Wife, Yogi, Italy Lover and Advocate for Feminine Wholeness. Technically speaking she is an Embodiment Coach, but what she really does is help spiritually passionate women create lives of true romance and meaningful adventure. Through coaching and workshops and online courses I give women the tools to access their essential feminine wisdom and presence, so that they can heal the wounds that have kept them unfulfilled.

Welcome back for the final episode of 2020! I am jumping in here for a mini episode to say a huge THANK YOU for supporting my podcast. It has been epic launching it this year and having so many of you LOVE it back. This mini episode reflects on 2020, the good and the bad and I also share what my word for 2021 is andddd all the epic plans I have...just for the first 6 months of the year! I am only just getting started and feel so privileged to be able to do this, THANK YOU for supporting me in every way! So many epic episodes coming your way in 2021!

Welcome back for another episode. Today I bring in my hubby, Dan, to share about his side of supporting me during the time I experienced vaginismus. This episode applies if you or your partner are experiencing any kind of painful sex! I think this is a really important episode for people to listen to, even if you’re not a partner, it’s good to know! We chat through his initial experience and feelings when we didn’t know this condition had a name, how he combated negative thoughts and his mindset to be a supportive and patient partner. Dan also shares why this didn’t entitle him to a free hall pass and how we managed to stay together during something this difficult. This is a great episode if you have a partner who is looking to better support you during this journey or if you are the partner! 

This episode I interview Konrad from Ideas Digest! I wanted to bring Konrad on the show to share his perspective on beliefs and why he’s taken his unique approach with his own podcast. How his guests have impacted him through the different podcast episodes and Konrad’s framework for working through new ideas and beliefs. He is an intellectual thinker and is a great observer in conversation. I’m a fan of this episode (maybe biased) but I think you will be too!

Konrad is just another bloke with a podcast who wants to practice believing the best of other people. Behind every idea, good or bad, there is a person & circumstances that has led them to where they are.

After growing up on the edges of conservative christianity Konrad noticed the endless claims to 'Truth' everyone around him was making. As he began to observe politics he began to notice the same. These claims to absolute 'Truth' whether they be political or religious helped build a strong tribe, a sense of belonging and helped render a very uncertain world understandable. However this comfrotable certainty had an ever present and not so hidden dark side, Konrad began to notice that the ones who held the absolute claim of Truth, would consider themselves right & righteous, quickly labelling those who disagree as wrong, nieve, dumb or pure evil.

With the podcast Ideas Digest, Konrad aims to understand the ideas that divide humanity and dig deep enough to try and understand the person behind the idea.

We’re back with another episode and this week we are chatting with Maddison! Maddison lives in Queensland and is a lawyer there. I found Maddison through a Facebook group after she posted a transformation style video of her transitioning process and I was amazed to see the process and visually witness the change in her. Maddison is transgender and shares her personal story of growing up and then transitioning to female in an environment that wasn’t accepting of her. Maddison’s story is very personal and I’m so grateful she took the time to share it with us.

Maddison also graciously shares with the cis-gendered community on ways that we can support the transgender community and how we can use our voice wisely to ensure there is true inclusivity for all.

Join Hailley and I as we have a ‘get to know you’ chat! Hailley is a heart-led woman and I personally adored having this chat with her! We have been instagram friends for awhile and have quite a few things in common, so we cued up a chat! We hear about Hailley, where she comes from and where life has taken her so far. She has a beautiful appreciation for travel and the joy that comes with that. Also her voice is so divine to listen to! We also touch on her personal development story and becoming a mother to Magnolia.

Hailey is a woman who cannot help but savor the sweetness, the juiciness, the delicacy of life. On the lookout for evidence of hope and joy and peace, she chooses to be intentionally present with the palpable Goodness of moment by moment Life. Currently dancing with the titles of daughter, wife, mother, creative, freedom shaker her life is filled with meaning AND grace. Ultimately, she wants to be stopped in her tracks at any given time and hear, “It looks like you’re enjoying life. Tell me how you do it.” Let’s just say... it all starts with identity and connecting to your heart.

Hailley also has a beautiful way with words and capturing them, follow her on @typewriterbloom

This episode I interview Influencer Sophia Spallino and hear her story! She has an incredible story from getting married young (hello purity culture) and then getting divorced to now absolutely thriving in life with her own brands and her partner, Robbie! Sophia shares in depth the struggles she went through and journey she took to get where she is today. You definitely want to have a listen to this episode because there is SO MUCH in here!

Hi there, I’m Sophia Spallino. After my divorce and taking time to heal and find myself again, I put in the work to grow as an influencer and started a podcast. Because podcasts and meditations are what helped me fall asleep when I was learning how to sleep alone again, I decided I wanted to be that light in the dark for others and somehow that evolved into coaching in both personal growth and dating. Now I am host of Enlightened the Podcast and an Instagram influencer with a niche focus on personal growth and age gap relationships!

Welcome back for another episode! I LOVE the masculine and feminine energies and what each energy brings in a relationship dynamic. Dr Tracey Hunter joins us today to do a deep dive into exploring the masculine and feminine energies and shares around the delicate balance of the two. We chat around why these energies are important to understand and how they can enhance our relationships, especially romantic ones.

Dr Tracey Hunter is a psychologist on the Gold Coast, Australia, and is an accredited Schema Therapist who has also done deep inner work on understanding the blocks to intimacy and connection based on faulty ideas about vulnerability and being seen. Tracey has sought out her own coaching and mentoring in the area of feminine energy and intimacy from globally-respected coaches in the USA to really dive deep into this topic for the benefit of her own relationship. She coaches other women in the same concepts that she has applied in her own life.

What a juicy episode! Christin shares with us today her journey from stepping out of Christianity and the harmful effects of purity culture and into sexual liberation! She shares parts of her story that she hasn’t shared elsewhere and how where she started has now gotten her to here, being a Sacred Slut. She is fiery, sexy and REALLY easy to listen to, we could have talked for hours!

The simplest way to describe what Christin does is “Sex Coach”, but her work is SO MUCH MORE than that. To get a little “woo” on you, Christin’s passion lies at the axis of feminine wholeness and erotic expression. In Her 1:1 and group coaching, She empowers women to unapologetically claim their sexuality through healing shame, embracing their desire, and embodying pleasure in and OUT of the bedroom.

Christin is also the creator and host of Nothing Confidential [the podcast]. A platform created with the singular mission to normalise taboo topics surrounding female sexuality in order to shine a light on the societal, cultural, and/or religious shame and stigma that prevents us from healing our trauma, being at home in our bodies, and experiencing true wholeness and liberation.

Grace shares her journey growing up with her Dad raising her, going through the military, becoming a personal trainer and now a women’s coach!! Grace is also growing a beautiful baby girl inside her right now, which is so beautiful to witness her journeying towards motherhood!

Grace is a women's coach who is passionate about leading + guiding women to discover their true self and start living THEIR desired life

After experiencing deep loss at a young age, seeing what unhappiness + misalignment can lead to, and also realising how unfulfilling people pleasing really is - Grace now uses her experiences and drive to help other women.

In her work she helps women to stop people pleasing, living for others, hiding or holding back who they truly are… and to come to a place where they feel they can trust and understand themselves on much deeper level

Grace’s main aim through working with women is to enable them to live fulfilling and aligned lives that light THEM up, no matter how that “look’s”.

Jasmin brings you her very first podcast episode, interviewed by her husband, Dan, just for you! This episode you’ll hear Jasmin’s story and path she has now taken which has led her to here, Conscious Sexuality. She is passionate about dismantling the patriarchy, shedding harmful thought patterns and stepping into being your most authentic self. Life has never been better since she has followed her true path. Though, this path isn’t easy, with a lot of backlash from people dear to her, she has powered on and persevered knowing this is her true path.

Jasmin is now a coach in training and works hard to help womxn find freedom and healing in discovering themselves. She is passionate about normalising the conversation around sex and breaking down the stigma of shame around it. For generations, women have lived with shame and fear around their own bodies and their sexual experiences. They are conflicted with false information about everything from; how their bodies should look, how their vulva should smell and what a man wants in bed. Through her own healing journey she sought guidance from trusted medical professionals, but also sex, menstrual cycle and feminine wholeness coaches. The wisdom they shared about leaning into your natural cycle, loving your body and especially your vulva as well as digging in deep to resolve past traumas, really brought Jasmin freedom and a new sense of knowledge and direction about sex and sexuality.

Conscious Sexuality is an exploration around spirituality and sexuality. Jasmin has come out of organised religion and purity culture and talks about her journey and experience rediscovering and connecting to her sexuality. Jasmin tackles all topics around sexuality (and spirituality) in an effort to normalise the conversation and start embracing this silenced part of our identity. This podcast will bring you freedom in all areas of your life and will enable you to go deeper in your own journey. You will find this podcast teetering on the edge of the mystical and the practical.
