    5. Why Orgasms Make You Cry

    Welcome back to Blossom & Blade! In this episode, I begin with a question that has stayed with me for years: If you won’t let yourself cry, how will you let yourself orgasm? This is a conversation about pleasure as a doorway into the whole emotional field of the body and what becomes possible when things that have been stuck, swallowed or gone numb begin to move again. I share moments from my own Self Pleasure practice, including the experience of slowly meeting my cervix and learning to stay with the numbness, grief and loneliness that I found there. From there, I speak into emotional alchemy, catharsis and titration, and the balance of fire and water inside this work: the intensity that transforms us, and the slowness that allows the body to unfurl without being blown open. In this episode, I explore: Why orgasms can make us cry - and why that’s a good thingHow pleasure can help stuck energy begin to moveWhat it means to become emotionally currentWhy catharsis is not bad, but also not something to chaseHow to meet the edge of your capacity without barging through Applications for Blossom & Blade, my 13-week eco-somatic sex coaching programme, are now open. The next round begins on 13 October 2026. If you’re curious to know more, click here to apply: https://www.blossomandblade.com/ Much love, Luzi

    4. 21 Days of Lovemaking - How My Practice Transformed Intimacy With My Partner

    In this episode, I explore how Self Pleasure ripples into intimacy, sex and relationship with another. This practice is not about staying in a solo bubble forever. It is about learning the embodied skills intimacy asks of us: presence, honesty, communication, boundaries, attunement, receptivity - and the ability to slow down enough to stay connected to ourselves while opening to another. I share how my own Self Pleasure practice changed the way I relate, receive touch, express desire and meet intimacy – and what unfolded when I brought this practice into a 21-day experiment with my partner. In this episode, I explore: Why Self Pleasure is not a substitute for intimacy with others, but a foundation for itHow your Self Pleasure practices teaches you the skills to initiate your partner into deeper intimacyWhat becomes possible when you stop outsourcing your pleasureHow solo practice creates deeper honesty, creativity, connection and magic in partnership Applications for Blossom & Blade, my 13-week eco-somatic sex coaching programme, are now open.

    3. The Desire Hiding Inside "I Want to Be More Feminine”

    In this conversation, I explore the desire so many women have: “I want to be more feminine” - while their body is quietly bracing, performing, protecting or shutting down. I speak about the deeper longing that sits underneath this desire: I want to stop micro-managing and controlling. I want to overcome the terror in my bones. I want to feel safe. I want to trust Life. I also share the story of my self-marriage ceremony: the day I made a vow to stop abandoning myself for love, and gave my body a new imprint of trust, devotion and inner union. In this episode, I talk about: How trying to be “more feminine” can become another way of abandoning yourselfWhy your body’s protection is highly intelligent, and how to create a felt sense of safety when your trust in life was brokenWhat performed pleasure and performed surrender can cost usHow Self Pleasure becomes a practice of creating and embodying a totally new imprint for love, power and relationshipsWhy softness needs a container (the blade): clarity, discernment, structure and self-devotion And if this conversation touches something in you and you’d like to enter the practice more deeply, I’d love to invite you to my free two-part event, Full-Bodied Aliveness. Together, we'll journey into the darkness of the body - to explore the subtle layers of sensation through devotional touch and come into intimate conversation with the Sacred through your flesh, blood & bones. It all starts with your hands on your skin - to pour love into the parts that you'd rather not feel. Your body has been designed to nourish you and tingle with erotic aliveness - it's time to return to Lovemaking as a regular prayer.

    2. My Hands Taught Me What No Teacher Could - And Yours Can Too

    In this episode, I explore the frustrating gap between understanding your patterns & limitations and actually feeling free from them in your body. Many of us have done years of therapy, coaching, retreats, ceremonies, medicine and self-inquiry. We understand our attachment patterns, childhood wounds, nervous system responses and relationship dynamics. And yet, when it comes to intimacy, pleasure, surrender, boundaries or speaking our truth, the body can still contract, freeze, numb out or repeat the same old stories. This is a conversation about why insight alone is not enough, how The Script lives in the body, and why Self Pleasure is a practice of bringing your knowing into your flesh. In this episode, I explore: - Why understanding your patterns is not the same as embodying this truth - How we outsource transformation to teachers, partners, retreats, medicine and ceremonies - Why numbness, freeze, overwhelm and resistance are not failures, but doorways - What it means to meet the body through practice, presence and devotion - Why no one can do this part for you – and why that is actually good news Applications for Blossom & Blade, my 13-week eco-somatic sex coaching programme, are now open.

    1. How 120 Days of Self Pleasure Changed My Life

    Welcome to the very first episode of Blossom & Blade! In this episode, I share the origin story of the work formerly known as JUICE – the heartbreak, descent and unravelling - and the Self Pleasure practice that made me fall in love with myself and changed the course of my life. This is a conversation about the ways we shut our aliveness down, the body as a connection to the sacred, and what becomes possible when we welcome all parts of ourselves home with the touch of our hands. In this episode, I explore: Why the path to pleasure is a journey into the darknessHow an earth-shattering breakup became the awakening of my bodyThe Self Pleasure ritual that changed everythingWhat it means to stop choosing between softness and power, eroticism and innocence, love and freedom Applications for Blossom & Blade, my 13-week eco-somatic sex coaching programme, are now open.
