    Love as a Practice: Yung Pueblo & Jillian Turecki on Relationships

    Lasting love isn’t something you find; it is a skill you must practice. In this episode, Jeff Krasno speaks with two leading relationship experts, Yung Pueblo (Diego Perez) and Jillian Turecki, to explore how to build healthy relationships through emotional responsibility, conscious communication, and self-awareness. While society focuses on the romance of falling in love, very little guidance exists on what it takes to sustain connection over time. This episode dismantles the myth of the “perfect partner” and provides actionable tools to navigate the inevitable challenges of long-term commitment, from boredom to conflict. This episode covers: The three anchors for loving better: Kindness, Compassion, and Growth Emotional Responsibility: How to communicate feelings without blaming your partner The “Comfort Trap”: Balancing stability with novelty to keep the spark alive Healing the Past: Why your relationship with yourself dictates your romantic success Conflict Resolution: Moving from “fighting to win” to listening to understand Love as a Verb: Practical rituals to show up for your partner even when you don’t feel like it This podcast is for couples feeling stuck in a rut, singles looking to break old patterns, and anyone ready to approach love with greater mindfulness and maturity.

    Desire, Redefined [Luminescence Podcast]

    So many of us feel anxious or disconnected from our bodies because we don't understand why our sexual desire fluctuates. This episode breaks down the hormonal dance that drives (and sometimes derails) your sex drive, explaining what happens to your metabolism, mood, and libido through midlife.  We get crystal clear on desire vs arousal vs orgasm, why estrogen is a major driver of fantasy and craving, and why progesterone can make you drier, slower to warm up, and harder to orgasm (you’re not broken, you’re hormonally alive). Then we zoom out to the midlife reality: metabolism shifts, insulin resistance, body changes, stress, sleep… and the underrated longevity superpower that changes everything: connection and community. What you’ll learn: Responsive vs spontaneous desire (both normal) Why ovulation can feel like “sex brain” Why the luteal phase can mean dryness + more foreplay What shifts in perimenopause (metabolism, muscle, belly fat) Simple blood sugar levers: protein, fiber, walking, sleep Why body image and stress can tank libido Why connection might matter more than any supplement If you’ve ever wondered, “Is something wrong with me?”, this episode is your permission slip: your libido isn’t a personality flaw. It’s biology + life. Featured Guests: Dr. Jolene Brighten – Naturopathic endocrinologist, author of Is This Normal? and Beyond the Pill Dr. Mariza Snyder – Functional wellness expert, author of The Perimenopause Revolution Rosie Acosta – Host of Radically Loved, yoga and meditation teacher Podcast Partners: LMNTGet a free 8-count Sample Pack of LMNT’s most popular drink mix flavors with any purchase at ⁠DrinkLMNT.com/TLP⁠ Timeline: Go to  ⁠Timeline.com/LUMI⁠ and get 30% your first order with code ONECOMMUNE30

    Vagina Myths & Essentials

    The Luminescence Podcast, hosted by Schuyler Grant, powered by Commune. A space for science-based, culturally curious, and politically fearless conversations illuminating women’s health. Ever been turned on but dry as the Sahara? Vaginal lubrication doesn't always match desire, and in this episode, Schuyler Grant and her expert panel (Dr. Jolene Brighten, Dr. Marisa Snyder, and Rosie Acosta) explain what our culture – and our doctors – fail to teach us. We break down vaginal health, pH balance, and what is really going on in your body during arousal. What you'll learn: Arousal non-concordance (your wetness doesn't have to match your desire) Vaginal pH and why estrogen is basically a farmer for your vagina What really happens during arousal (spoiler: it takes longer than porn suggests) Why every vagina needs estrogen (postpartum, perimenopause, menopause) Vaginal health myths busted (Can tampons get lost? Are tight vaginas better?) How to know when dryness, itching, or pain needs medical attention Why vaginal health is connected to your overall wellbeing Can you get pregnant during your period? (Depends.) Are all vaginas pink? (Absolutely not.) Should you be doing 50 Kegels a day? (Please stop.) You'll learn why the “tight vagina” myth is harmful, how semen affects vaginal pH, and why vaginal health changes throughout your life. It’s the vagina education you never got—science-backed, shame-free, and actually useful.

    Sex Between Your Ears [Luminescence Podcast]

    The Luminescence Podcast, hosted by Schuyler Grant, powered by Commune. A space for science-based, culturally curious, and politically fearless conversations illuminating women’s health. Ever wonder why your sex drive vanishes, your brain turns to mush, or you want to rage-quit your entire life for no reason? Blame your hormones, or, more specifically, how estrogen and progesterone run your brain. In this episode, Schuyler Grant and her expert panel (Dr. Jolene Brighten, Dr. Marisa Snyder, and Rosie Acosta) break down why it can feel like your brain is actively betraying you, particularly in perimenopause. What you'll learn: Estrogen and progesterone are brain hormones (not just “lady parts” hormones) The hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis explained in plain language Why perimenopause brings brain fog, mood swings, anxiety, and vanishing libido The menstrual cycle phases and how hormones shift throughout What's happening to your serotonin, dopamine, and GABA levels Why 80% of perimenopause symptoms happen in your brain A simple breathing technique to calm your nervous system Here's the thing: for decades, doctors thought women's hormones only affected reproduction. Turns out, estrogen and progesterone control your brain, bones, heart, metabolism, gut health, and basically everything. When they start declining in your mid-to-late thirties, your brain goes through a massive remodeling. No wonder you feel like you're losing your mind. This episode helps you understand what's actually happening and how to take back control.

    Why Women Orgasm Less (and What to Do About It)

    The Luminescence Podcast, hosted by Schuyler Grant, powered by Commune. A space for science-based, culturally curious, and politically fearless conversations illuminating women’s health. The clitoral conspiracy is real. This episode explains why women orgasm way less than men in heterosexual relationships (just 65% compared to 95%) and what you can do about it. Schuyler Grant and her expert panel (Dr. Jolene Brighten, Dr. Marisa Snyder, and Rosie Acosta) get real about female anatomy, sexual pleasure, and the cultural myths keeping women from experiencing orgasm. What you’ll learn: Clitoral anatomy explained (your clitoris is way bigger than you think—seriously, Google it) Why female orgasm rates are so low in heterosexual relationships The difference between sexual arousal and sexual desire Why penetration-focused sex isn’t creating orgasms for most women How to improve intimacy and sexual satisfaction Practical tools for better sex and closing the orgasm gap Here’s a fun fact: the clitoris was discovered in 460 BCE, then men decided to just...forget about it for a few thousand years. Most medical textbooks still barely cover female sexual anatomy. This episode offers you some of the sex education you never got—science-based info about women’s sexual health, minus the shame, plus honest conversation about what sexual pleasure actually looks like.
