Have you ever looked back on a past relationship and realise you can tell exactly when it started going south? Why don't we leave when we get that gut feeling? Or is it something we only notice in hindsight? 

This episode is an attempt at trying to achieve the impossible - to create a guideline on how to spot the signs of a relationship that's no longer serving us, while we're in the relationship. Chynene asks Katherina for advice on how to be aware of what's actually going on in a relationship: Are we really happy together? Am I losing myself? Is this person treating me the way I deserve? Am I respecting my own boundaries? 

Listen as Chynene and Katherina break down what it means to stay present and aware of your own needs and priorities when you've got a partner to consider.

We hear the term 'sex positive' often these days, and while we may get the general idea, Chynene and Katherina realised that they didn't fully understand the true definition of the term. In this episode they discover the definition of sex positivity - that it isn't just about being sexually adventurous and open to exploring every position under the sun. Listen to this episode and find out if the way you approach sex is sex positive or sex negative; learn about what it really means to be sex positive; and how we can work to break away from sex negativity - which is more prevalent in our daily lives than we may think.

There is such a thing as healthy conflict. The only question is: what does that actually look like? 

Chynene and Katherina are both triggered in different ways when confronted with aggression or conflict, and also react very differently. Find out which style of conflict you are most triggered by, and how you respond to conflict. Once we understand ourselves in these situations, we can work to make them easier and explain to others how we would like to be treated.

This episode provides a look into how to healthily deal with resolving issues that might feel painful to us in a relationship, and work out whether we are unconsciously upsetting our partner with our style of dealing with an argument (or if they might be unconsciously upsetting us.)  It also dives in to how we can better communicate when our partner hurts us - whether it's intentional or not.

Chynene and Katherina are back in the first episode of 2023, sharing their goals and intentions for the new year. While they both may have vastly different ideas of what they want to achieve, they both intend to manifest in the same way.

This episode covers how to set intentions and manifest in personal life and career.

When the news about Roe v Wade hit, Chynene and Katherina both felt a deep sense of despair, anger, and frustration. There was no way that they could not talk about it. So they decided to use this platform to share their sentiment and hopefully also give a better understanding of what the full impact of this ruling really means.

To give this episode the justice it deserves, they invited their first guest, Dr Sara Mosadegh DNP RN. Sara is a nurse (with a doctorate in nursing practice), an academic professor, and Tantrika, blending her experience in western and eastern medicine to provide trauma-informed care and education.

If you are interested in getting a better understanding of the implications of the overturning of Roe v Wade, this is the episode to listen to.

What does it actually mean to live a tantric life? Is it all just sex, orgies and unbridled hedonism? Chynene and Katherina talk about their discovery of tantra, the different types, and how it fits into the day to day life: from washing the dishes to having a meal and everything in between.

In this episode Chynene and Katherina talk about body image in and out of the bedroom. Have you ever felt like your physical 'flaws' make you feel less worthy? You are not alone.

Do you sometimes find it exhausting to be 'healing', 'working on yourself' or trying to be a better person?

In this episode we deal with some lesser discussed mental health topics. Chynene and Katherina both come to terms with the challenges around 'doing the work'; realizing that active healing phases can be painful and exhausting.

This conversation discusses how we cope when we're trying to better ourselves. 

We cover 

• toxic positivity, 
• feeling guilty for time off,
• healing as a coping mechanism, 
• avoiding triggers out of fear, 
• holding space for friends who are going through tough times, 
• and accepting that it feels like life just fucking sucks sometimes and allowing ourselves to feel that way.

Chyn and Kat discuss raw sexual chemistry, what it feels like when the parts just 'fit' and sparks fly. They also get into how to approach sex when it doesn't go as planned, and what consent looks like when you're unsure of whether you want to try something new or not. If you're single and exploring your own sexuality, casually dating, or in a sexual relationship there's something to learn from this one!

Chynene and Katherina discuss why we date for validation rather than with our needs in mind and the trouble that can cause.
