    EP 108: Pleasure as Medicine: Reclaiming the Wild Feminine with Luzi Pods

    Send us a text In this episode, I am joined by my muse Luzi Pods for a deeply nourishing conversation on the transformative power of self-pleasure and how it can ripple into every area of our lives. Together, we explore how emotions are energy that must move through the body, and how grief and pleasure are often more interconnected than we realise. Luzi shares her personal journey of awakening, including her experience with kundalini energy, and offers powerful insights into conscious masturbation as a pathway to self-discovery, empowerment, and self-love. We also discuss the permission and exploration required to truly access pleasure, how integrating trauma with pleasure can be a delicate yet healing process, and why community and sisterhood are such vital anchors for this work. This conversation is a reminder that when we bring consciousness into our sexuality, we reclaim the wild feminine spirit and open ourselves to deeper acceptance, connection, and freedom.

    Send us a text Join me for this yummy conversation with Fiona Mccoss, where we dive into the realms of wild feminine embodiment, sexuality, and reclaiming power through archetypes. Fiona shares her journey as a women's mentor, highlighting the importance of understanding sexuality as something far deeper than just the physical, and the necessity of reconnecting with the wild woman within. Together, we explore the complexity of the whore archetype, the dark feminine, and the power of authenticity when it comes to navigating desire and self-discovery. This conversation is a powerful reminder for women to embrace their true nature and honour the many layers of their femininity. We also touch on themes of self-love, empowerment, and the reclamation of pleasure through the archetype of the wild woman. From acknowledging trauma to redefining pleasure in simple, everyday ways, this dialogue highlights the importance of personal sovereignty. It reminds us that true fulfilment originates from within, not from external validation.

    EP 105: Female Sexuality: A Journey of Deep Healing and Transformation

    Send us a text In this episode, I share my transformative experience at a sexuality retreat centred on de-armouring and emotional exploration. I talk about the Gaia Method, a body-oriented approach to healing, and reflect on powerful themes like intimacy, consent, and reclaiming personal power. This journey led me into deep self-discovery, understanding the connection between sexuality and self-love, and breaking free from societal expectations around female sexuality. I open up about the emotional process of witnessing and holding space for raw feminine expression, the healing that came through connection and compassion, and how self-love played a vital role in healing trauma stored in my body. Through it all, I reflect on how I found safety in pleasure, strength in vulnerability, and a deeper calling to support others on this path.
