    Authority, Integrity, and Rage: An Exploration with Claire Thompson

    Send us a text Join my guest, Claire Thompson and me, as we explore the shadow of authority, how that plays into our integrity, small bits about what it means to move with integrity, and over course RAGE! The episode begins with a dive into working for others and beginning to step into our power by bringing awareness to formerly hidden patterns of behavior and how that may be getting in the way of our ability to lead. This then guides us into a juicy conversation on integrity and leads into Rage and the navigation of root emotions. Being a Rage Ritual Practitioner, amongst other amazing offerings, Claire discusses the potency of integrating a rage practice and sheds light on a few ways that might be integrated into our daily lives. Please excuse any dog interferences, even puppies need to rage sometimes. Please subscribe, review, and best of all... SHARE!

    The Palestinian Perspective: A Conversation We Need

    Send us a text This special edition episode is a conversation, much needed on the global main stage. For too long, we here in America, have only ever heard one perspective on the Palestinian and Israeli conflict. We are very fortunate to hear from Ramzy, a Palestinian American Man, on the history of Palestinian culture, people, land, and how this conflict began. In this episode we dive deep into the weeds of the issues surrounding the atrocities currently plaguing Palestinian and Israeli citizens and work to shed light on the complexity of colonization. Finally, we are hearing a Palestinian perspective. One rooted in political awareness, understanding, and as much openness and vulnerability as possible. I am infinitely grateful to Ramzy for having this talk with me and I urge you to continue to challenge the media narratives fed to us when searching to understand larger conflicts such as these. Don't forget the words of Ghandi, who said, "An eye for an eye makes the world blind." May this episode bring greater awareness as far and wide as possible, so that we as global citizens, can empower ourselves with information enough to learn and start making whatever changes are needed to bring peace to this land for all. Sit back, open your heart, and enjoy this long overdue conversation. Please subscribe, like, share, and leave a review.

    The Grip of Dopamine

    Send us a text This week we are unpacking Dopamine! This is a term that gets thrown around a lot these days and this episode is devoted to the continued exploration of understanding how our brains and bodies work in conscious and unconscious ways. Inside, we learn about what dopamine is, where it is, what it does, and how that might play out in our lives. Part of the shadow work experience is first learning to be aware of ourselves and our many systems, before we can take further steps. Once we are more cognizant of ourselves, next comes learning to show ourselves compassion for our humanness and starting on the path of making necessary shifts.  Please like, subscribed, leave a review, and SHARE!

Join as we unpack a dark night of the soul and what it means to both be in the darkest depths and to emerge. Some of the themes include the element of water as a metaphor for emotions and being in the shifting landscape of humanness, lesson learned in the deepest parts of drowning, the beauty of the dark and its necessity, and tools to help BE with the process of it all.

    Sex Series: A ‘Not So Black and White’ Conversation About Consent with Lisa Chatham Part 2

    Send us a text WE'RE BACK!! Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. On this weeks episode we've got the second part to our interview with the legendary Lisa Chatham. We cover a lot of ground from consent with partners and owning our wanting, speaking boundaries, polyamory and consenting non-monogamy, what it means to be a hell yes, and much more. The conversation of consent is one we could have indefinitely, and we grappled with such ideas, as not being damaged goods as a survivor of sexual assault and what it might mean to have a somatic practice in order to get back into our bodies after long moments of dissociation. We are all worthy of excellent sexual experiences so press play and enjoy! https://www.downwithmydemons.com/ To connect with Lisa Chatham: http://www.lisachathampsychotherapy.com To connect with Chloe: Email: chloe@downwithmydemons.com Resources Mentioned: https://www.5rhythms.com/ https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/4/21/proposed-changes-harassment-policies/ https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1363460720961303 https://sadeclasses.org/speaker/julie-fennell-slutphd Books: The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy https://www.amazon.com/Ethical-Slut-Third-Practical-Relationships/dp/0399579664 Please Scream Quietly: A Story of Kink by Julie Fennell https://www.hpb.com/please-scream-quietly-a-story-of-kink/P-47814652-NEW.html The Art of Receiving and Giving: The Wheel of Consent by Betty Martin with Robyn Dalzen https://wheelofconsentbook.com/ Respect: Everything a Guy Needs to Know about Sex, Love, and Consent by Inti Chavez Perez https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43669272-respect P***y: A Reclamation by Regena Thomashauer https://www.amazon.com/P***y-Reclamation-Regena-Thomashauer/dp/1401950248 Support the show

    Sex Series: A ‘Not So Black and White’ Conversation About Consent with Lisa Chatham Part 1

    Send us a text This episode marks part one of our first ever Sex Series! In honor of Scorpio Season, the holiday season, and the shifting of our environments and selves, we dive into some of the edgier and more taboo parts of life. This first episode features Lisa Chatham, a Naropa University professor and licensed Psychotherapist. We begin to unpack the very difficult to navigate conversation that is consent and discuss the not so black and white nature of it. Lisa brings brilliant psychological, developmental, and social information to the table to aid a well rounded discussion. Consent is a topic that requires much more than an hour long conversation so thank you for baring with us as we do our best to hit some major (and maybe some unpopular/controversial) points. I hope you enjoy, see you next time. *If you or someone you know is/has experienced sexual abuse/assault/violence, please seek support.
