The Full Bloom Pod aims to be a safe container for dialogue and radical expression of the messy, beautiful moving parts of our ever-evolving selves. Through conversation, compassionate listening, and cracking open the limiting systems and structures that challenge our expansion, we offer monthly, heart-centered chats with guests that embody the bloom. We hold hands, we take a deep belly breath, and together we grow. Get cozy, light a candle, make a snack - we’re really just chatting and figuring it all out together.

    A Between Seasons Update from Us

    Hi Bloom Squad!  This is just a short little update to share with you our reflections and intentions for how we’re moving into the next season of the pod. We’re making some changes around here! This podcast started in 2021, when we lived together, and we wanted to share our conversations, evolutions, discoveries, and passions with the world from the cozy comfort of our bedrooms. The whole point was to explore “the process of becoming the fullest version of ourselves,” and we started interviewing folks who inspired us, who we saw as being in their “full bloom” to support us in learning how to continue blooming, ourselves.  Since the beginning, this podcast has become a space where folks can access so many different voices and experts sharing on a wide variety of topics within the feminist health & wellness space, and we are so grateful for the rich experiences we’ve had, the incredible conversations we’ve shared, and how you’ve come along with us for the ride for the past 5 years.  What we’ve realised however, is that throughout the process of bringing other voices in, we moved away from centralising our own voices, being our own experts, and focusing on our own blooming to prioritise space for others. And while we have loved sharing the mic with so many wonderful humans, we’re taking the mic back this season.  So as we move into Season 6, it’s just going to be us.  It’s going to be less formal, less structured, less scheduled. We’re going back to yapping about whatever the f**k we want (shoutout to our original intro) and following our curiosity as it arises.  We’re going to bring you more authentic episodes that come from genuine curiosity, rather than a schedule.  And most importantly, we’re coming home to one another.  So in Season 6 we’re coming back to our roots. We’re simplifying. We’re not trying as hard.  We hope you’ll come along with us ♥

    54. The Politics of Pleasure with Katie Aitken

    Welcome back Bloom Squad! Join us for our last interview of Season 5 with this gorgeous, impactful episode all about the politics of Pleasure. We're here with Pleasure Activist, Entrepreneur, and Sex Educator Katie Aitken, the co-founder of Canada's favourite every person sexual wellness shop, Bonjibon, and a very dear friend of the pod. Katie's background is rich with on-the-ground experience in how the systems and structures that make-up the world we live in influence how we experience pleasure, what access we have to pleasure, and what pleasure means and looks like for each of us. Katie reminds us of the importance of carving out time and space for pleasure for pleasure's sake in our lives, because we're human and we're here and that's all the reason we need. We can't think of a better way to wrap such an incredible season of gorgeous conversations, we know you'll love it, and Katie, just as much as we do!

    YapTime: Pelvic Steaming 101 with Nichole Katsikas

    Ever wondered about Yoni Steaming (called pelvic steaming here because it can be done on all bodies) but haven't been sure where to be begin? For this Yap, we sat down with Nichole Katsikas a certified pelvis steaming practitioner based in LA, to learn all about how to steam, why to steam, when to steam, and how this ancient practice can enhance our menstrual cycle awareness, pleasure, body connection, and our existing self-care routines. Nichole shared all about how yoni steaming relieves pain, builds awareness of our g******s, and brings us into deeper connection to our bodies. We loved learning from her, and we both left so inspired to steam! This episode is for you if you want a step-by-step guide on how to try this for the first time in an authentic, DIY way! As always, please like, comment, subscribe and review if you loved this yap as much as we did!

    52. The Wonders of Women and Cannabis with Tegan Scates

    Hey Bloom Squad, ever wondered about the benefits of cannabis for women? We definitely have... We both have a complicated relationship with cannabis, but we wanted to learn from an expert in women's health about how this plant can be so medicinal and such an ally for women for so many different experiences. So we sat down with Tegan Scates, the founder of Bloomly.au - an online educational platform for women to explore cannabis through community and conversation, which aims to empower those who choose to consume. In this conversation, we asked Tegan about the potential uses of cannabis for different conditions, the relationship between cannabis and anxiety, recreational versus intentional use, how to consume mindfully, and where to get more information about how to develop a more intentional, beneficial relationship with this infinitely healing plant. We had such an incredible time learning from Tegan, and we know you will too!

    YapTime: Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?

    We all saw the viral Vogue article by Chante Joseph, let's yap about it Bloomiverse! In this episode, we yapped about the way heterosexuality feels confusing in our modern world, displays of relationships both online and offline, and how we personally navigate the complexities of being a feminist and also loving men in a time where these two experiences feel at odds. Divine feminine, soft masculine, self loving, being an individual and also in a relationship - it's juicy y'all!

    48. The Problem With Wellness

    Ever wonder how "wellness culture" got so messed up? In this episode, we sat down with Herbalist and activist Miriam Latif (aka @___understory) to do a deep dive into how Wellness and Wellness Culture exists in our contemporary world, how it got to be so focused on consuming, and how to move back to a place of connectedness and true, authentic wellness both on the individual and communal level. Miriam shared with us about how she navigates being a practitioner in the wellness world while also holding her values and intentions in a place of connection to land, to community, to mythology, and to authenticity, with a super raw sense of groundedness and realism. We are SO excited for you to dive into this one, and to reflect on your relationship to wellness and what wellness means to you with us. As always, we'd super appreciate if you could drop us a comment, a like, a review, and a good old tap on the subscribe button to help us continue this beautiful, beloved Bloom journey. We love you BloomSquad, thanks for being here xx Tay & Emma This episode is sponsored by Momotaro Apotheca Song: Flower Wall by Cospe Tarot Deck: NeoTarot by Jerico Mandyburr
