Stepping Out of the Box of Monogamy with Ellecia Paine
Episode48: Stepping Out of the Box of Monogamy with Ellecia Paine Explicit
Today my special guest is Relationship Coach Ellecia Paine. She helps adventurous people break the social conditioning of monogamy and learn how to navigate healthy alternative relationship styles such as ethical non-monogamy, open relationships, polyamory and swinging. She helps them move through the challenges like jealousy, fear, anxiety, and insecurities in a way that strengthens their relationships, deepens trust and communication, and leaves them feeling confident.
As the host of the podcast Nope! We're Not Monogamous, Ellecia believes in courageously challenging the status quo and empowering people to create relationships that work for the real people in those relationships. Throughout the past 9 years living in an ethically non-monogamous relationship while working as a sex, love, and relationship coach, Ellecia has acquired valuable insight and a unique ability to share this information with her clients and audience in a way that hits home while leaving them feeling validated and whole.
This was such a satisfying conversation with Ellecia. We really covered so many topics in this episode but one thing really rings true. Do not just go from the box of monogamy to another box of non-monogamy. The journey is all about being authentic and being the truest version of yourself without shame and guilt. There is no one right choice. You get to decide what and who is right for you.

How Sex Positivity Set Me Free with Carissa Harrison
Episode47: How Sex Positivity Set Me Free with Carissa Harrison Explicit
Today my special guest is Carissa Harrison.
Carissa is a 24 year old Podcaster, Travel Content Creator and Media Manager from Vancouver Canada. She has worked sharing her personal perspectives with brands like Lamborghini, Armani Casa, The Canadian Mental Health Association and more. After experiencing shame and stigma associated with her personal choices, Carissa saw the desperate need to normalize conversations around sex. Over time she became a voice for the kink community. Sharing her own experiences and hosting Meet My Mess as a platform to share the kinky wisdom of others.
Today we cover a lot of ground but the gist of the conversation shows us how Sex Positivity truly can set us free to live authentically without shame. Society wants to silence this freedom and so it continues to shame sex and anything having to do with our sexuality. Listen as Carissa experiences both sides of the spectrum and the effect it had on her life.

Embracing Curiosity Without Shame
Episode46: Embracing Curiosity Without Shame Explicit
Today my special guest is Choiwee Moon, the host of a podcast called "Sex With My Ex" where Kitty and Johnson talk about it all and are definitely not afraid to get curious.
She is a Trauma-informed Holistic Wellness Coach, Karuna Reiki Master and Pleasure & Intimacy Educator based in the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand. She is passionate about guiding people back to regulation and peace within themselves and educating her clients on sexual wellness.
We discuss the sad reality that we have been conditioned to not be curious. We were curious as children and somewhere along the way, we were taught that curiosity is dangerous or shameful. We should just be content and do as we are told. Don't ask questions.
We are living in a society that is normalizing codependency. We get into relationships to be loved, when in reality, a relationship is actually a container to learn about ourselves and grow. We bring the love with us. Curiosity keeps the novelty alive in a relationship but it also is how you discover your pleasure and what lights you up.
Give yourself permission to be curious about what you desire, what you need, what you love, and what lights you up. Also, let's not forget to be curious in your sex life. It can change everything. NO SHAME!

How to Know if Divorce is the Right Choice!
Episode45: How to Know if Divorce is the Right Choice! Explicit
Today my special guest is Lindsay Christianson.
Lindsay Christianson has been a licensed mental health counselor for more than a decade, and she’s helped her clients be their whole selves, and grow in their lives and relationships. She’s been married, divorced, and everything in between. Her website is www.momentumtherapyservices.com, and she offers therapy services as well as an online course for divorced women.
Divorce can be such a stigmatized conversation. Lindsay and I try to shed light on this difficult decision and how to know if it is the right choice for you. Sometimes we fail to ask the important questions because we have been programmed to see divorce as a failure.
Today we look at ways that divorce can be a positive thing and the best decision for everyone involved including the children.
Esther Perel says, "The quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life." It is so true and if we are in unhealthy or toxic relationships, that can lead to severe mental health issues and instability not only for you but also for your children if you have them. Staying together is not always the best decision or the most honourable.

The Turned On Lifestyle
Episode44: The Turned On Lifestyle Explicit
Today my special guest is Victoria IcenHower.
She is not your average yoga instructor & women's sex coach, who went from people pleasing others to pleasing, herself. Her passion is educating & empowering women to express their true, authentic self through self-love practices!
Victoria reminds us that we are not Ramen noodles. We are a 5 course entre and should treat ourselves as such. We have been taught to minimize ourselves as women for so long and that especially has included our pleasure.
Sex is not just about pleasing the man, it's about deeply pleasing ourselves in order to experience the most exquisite experiences with our partners if we so choose.
Life is about living authentically and showing up in your greatest power. The Turned On Lifestyle is one in which we create moments of deep pleasure throughout our day. What a beautiful, rich way to live.

Freedom from Kevin's Struggle with Romantic Relationships
Episode43: Freedom from Kevin's Struggle with Romantic Relationships Explicit
Today my special guest is Kevin Chinn.
In this episode, I get to coach this digital alchemist in real time on the podcast. We work through his struggle with romantic relationships and set him free from the mindset that was keeping him stuck in an unsuccessful loop of failing relationships.
Sometimes a reframing of the beliefs that we have is all that is needed to start us on a healthy path to discovering freedom in our relationship choices in life.
Kevin is a master at coaching other through their blocks in their businesses. It was time for me to flip things around and use his own system to set him free in relationships. Kevin is the creator of the Set Yourself Free program and loves to open up others to new ways of thinking.
