    Sex, Intimacy, and Erotic Awakening w/ Sex Therapist Vielka Kano

    Let’s talk about sex baby! And therapy. And the intimate spaces in between. In this in-person episode, I sit down with certified sex therapist Vielka for an honest and layered conversation about relationships, desire, and what it really takes to stay connected to your partner and to yourself. We explore how passion fades, why performance gets in the way of pleasure, and what it looks like to build intimacy that lasts. From tantra and sensual movement to emotional safety and erotic self-awareness, this episode is an open invitation to reflect, feel, and reawaken something within you. Because the truth is, most of us want more. We just haven’t had a place to say it.

    Social Entrepreneurship and the Mind w/ James Hamet

    Where does your mind lead you? James shares his stories and experiences with social entrepreneurism and how his values and perceptions on life led him to create businesses for a positive social cause. We explore the concepts around the mind include our concept of time, reality, personality, fears, and acceptance can alter and/or change our lives. This conversation wouldn't be complete without a little mix of the multiverse theories, synesthesia, multiple realities, frequencies, and the battle between spirituality and science.
