Bed Talks the Podcast WRG Media

To celebrate and honour the feminine for International Women’s Day we invited a very special guest, menstrual cycle educator and yoga instructor Stella Artuso, to share her story and wisdom on living in alignment with the cycles of nature as a reminder and testimony to just how magical and powerful women are. 
Stella is a powerhouse of knowledge when it comes to our body’s rhythms, but she wasn’t always this connected and tuned into her internal guidance (that we all have and so often resist!). She opens up about her radical personal, professional and spiritual transformation that took 10 days of stillness at a meditation retreat and a lot of healing to rewrite past scripts and rework ingrained conditioning that had her stuck in a belief system that being feminine meant being weak. She takes us through her journey from living a life governed by her masculine with an identity defined by her Master’s in Public Health and dedication to NGO’s to where she is today; on a mission to shatter the taboo around bleeding and bring awareness to the gifts of our cycles.
Stella lights up when she talks about her Blood Magic workshop series which helps women understand the different phases of their cycles by teaching them “body literacy” (love that!) so they are empowered to make decisions about what’s needed to support their body through internal reflection, food choices, lifestyle, exercise, boundaries and so much more. And it wouldn’t be a Bed Talks episode without diving into shadow work; we chat about the practice of looking at your personal period story and unpacking ancestral trauma and stigmas. There is so much work to do in the world when it comes to the greater understanding and equal treatment of women but we believe it truly starts by re-working the relationship we have with ourselves and our own bodies. Stella leads the helm with grace. Without shifting the work she was providing for thousands of others onto herself, she would not be the force she is today; still in a state of service, but now fueled by the heart, stronger than ever, and ready to take on the world. 
This episode is the tip of the iceberg of a theme we feel passionately about, one that will inspire you to tune into your cycle in a new way to empower you at every stage, rather than victimizing you to your hormones. Feel free to share this podcast with someone who might appreciate the message and thanks so much for being part of our community.
Enjoy!

We talk periods in this episode and get into the magic of cycles and the ability to create and carry life. Sabrina acknowledged a challenging time in her life by sharing her experience with antidepressants for PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) and how she’s grown to manage her symptoms in a more natural way by shifting her lifestyle and learning to embrace the gifts in each phase. 
Meg shares her story around pursuing the option of motherhood and the steps she’s taken towards freezing her eggs; her frank observations and perspective on the procedure and protocols within the medical system, and her raw emotions around what she’s experienced so far.
Both Meg and Sabrina’s experiences highlight how important it is to curate your own path within the medical system and do what’s right for you which takes trusting your intuition and remaining connected to your body within any kind of medical procedure or intervention. 
This episode is a call to be compassionate with yourself (your present and past self!) and the people around you. Everyone has a story and most of them aren’t visible. A pillar of the Bed Talks mission is that no one has to do it alone. We share our stories with our listeners so we can lift the veil of shame around topics that are all too normal to not talk about (mental health and fertility!).
An episode that will inspire you to think about how you frame your period, what it means to be a woman and how we can embrace the cycles of life. We touch on a lot of themes we can’t wait to come back to. Feel free to share this podcast with someone who might appreciate the message and thanks so much for being part of our community.
Enjoy!

We invited Amanda Luterman, psychotherapist with a special interest in sexuality, to take a break from her busy private practice to come chat with us for a Bed Talks Valentine’s episode about erotic confidence and expressing our sexual natures. This Columbia graduate with an MA, MEd in counselling psychology definitely has a knack for talking comfortably around taboo topics, and brings light to very normal, yet often shamed experiences and fears that come up for many of us.
A fascinating take on sexuality from a pro, Amanda introduces us to many new concepts like erotic empathy, autophilia and sexual social capital. We talk about communication and unblocking our throat chakras and the importance of feeling safe with a sexual partner. We share stories about self-betrayal, honouring your body, power dynamics, and how fear and shame manifest in your body and create disconnects that will deeply affect your physical, emotional and mental well-being. 
Our longest episode yet (!) Amanda gives us tons of food for thought around topics we can’t wait to explore further. We want this episode to leave you feeling curious and inspired to connect with yourself and explore eroticism through this more compassionate lens, keeping you on your path towards empowerment and fulfillment. We have a good feeling it will encourage a new perspective and personal growth within any new or existing relationships you have.
Enjoy! And feel free to share this podcast with someone who might appreciate the message.

In today’s episode, Meg and Sabrina explore the topic of shame through the lens of relationship identities and shed light on how to release old stories, patterns, and judgment. 
We get into the topic of staying true to yourself by pursuing your dreams and facing your fears which helps you build strength, confidence, and trust within yourself. A deep dive into our hearts and psyches around the role of women, deservingness and how to move beyond the scripts that are so deeply ingrained within us. 
Tune in for a very healing episode. Embracing our shadows helps us radiate our light. First by naming and acknowledging them, then by allowing ourselves to be seen in that darkness and still be loved. Remembering that the most powerful partner who can do that for you is you.

Danijo’s divine storm struck when she was 23, unemployed and pregnant. For most, overwhelming. For Dani, an opportunity to step into alignment, pursue her passion and launch her first business platform. Through her deeply rooted faith, commitment to self-work, and trusting her internal guidance, she faced her truth and overcame the self-limiting beliefs she established as a child to start creating a more intentional life. Growing up in a predominantly white environment, she internalized the belief that just showing up as herself wasn’t enough, which led to years of overcompensating to prove (to herself) that she deserved to be where she was. She shares how she turned her struggles with belonging into her greatest asset and how she learned to set boundaries and step into her worth in order to fulfill her mission of uniting people from all walks of life to have the important conversations we need to create social change. There is no small-talk with Danijo. This badass mom on a mission gets vulnerable and shares tons of wisdom on the importance of self-reflection, role models, community and conversation in this episode about living a conscious, purpose driven life. 
 
Enjoy!

For our last episode of the decade, we reflected on what conscious living means to us. With the holidays coming to an end and sober January being a big trend, we share this episode as inspiration for those looking to reflect on their relationship with anything outside themselves. Sabrina shares the intimate details of her decision to cut out alcohol and how it propelled her self-love journey over a year and a half ago. Meg explores the wonders of the body and shares how her experience of tapping into her senses has allowed her to connect with herself and live a conscious life.
Tune in to hear about what to expect when you cut out one of our culture’s favourite past times, the gifts that come from developing more intimacy with yourself and how transformative connecting to the present moment is on a healing journey.
