Breaking Free Authentically: The Sex Positive Relationship Podcast Karine Bedard

Episode81: The Danger of Leaving One Box for Another Part 1 Explicit
Today my special guest is Xavi Benjamin.
Xavi Benjamin is an artist and digital creator with an insatiable curiosity. He's the host of The Xavi Benjamin Show, a podcast with commentary and analysis about technology, culture, and politics from the communist perspective.
He is a former Jehovah's Witness and in Part 1 of this conversation, we talk about his journey out of the box of religion and the impact that has had on his life. We learn about his upbringing in the religious organization of The Kingdom Hall and what led to the unraveling of his faith and the devastation that caused.
Many have never had to reason themselves out of their very deep faith and religion. That takes bravery and causes someone to question everything they have ever known. It's scary and it can be dark some days. We are taught to fit into certain boxes to fit in, and taught to judge other boxes. But breaking free means that you get to question the boxes that you have been forced into your whole life and you get step out of the box. You don't have to fit in a box to live a good life. In fact, many people are stuck in boxes and don't even know who they are anymore.
There are others who just leave one box for another and don't even really ever question the reason they were in the box to begin with. Many just try to fit in somewhere else instead of discovering who they truly are. They never find where they truly belong because they are too busy needing to fit in another prescribed box full of rules to once again try to fit in.
We get to decide who we want to be and what kind of impact we want to have on the world and those around us. We get to decide what brings us joy and then we get to create the life we desire.
Nobody gets to determine your sexuality or your style of loving. Only you know what lights you up and what brings you joy and pleasure. Let's not step into another box without evaluating the reasons we left the first box. This is where we get judgement and shame from.
Let's get rid of judgment and shame and honour each other's choices. Let's be loving, honest, and ethical towards others so that the world will be a much better place, full of loving freedom.

We often spend our life trying to be what others think we should be or doing relationships the way others tell us to. If this doesn't align with who you are, this will never work for you.
You need to be the most authentic version of yourself to be completely free and have joy in your life.
We also talk about what it takes to have an Empowered Relationship. It's not what you think. We need Safety, Connection, and Novelty to have an Empowered Relationship. If you want more information about this, reach out, I can help.

Episode79: Who Is the Real You Under the Story? Explicit
Today my special guest is Michaela Gaffen Stone.
Michaela Gaffen Stone is a lifelong traveler and student of life, diving into new places and experiences with enthusiasm. Her journey has had many twists and turns, all with valuable points of learning. Her passion for helping elevate others from a place of stuckness to freedom, began when she became a registered nurse, caring for people’s health firsthand. Realizing that this was a band aid solution at best, she dove into the world of nutrition and behavior coaching, getting certified as a Precision Nutrition Level 2 Master Coach and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Her journey didn’t stop there—she became a Certified Wildfit Coach and recently earned her certification in Back to Spring coaching because she truly believes in its power to transform lives.
She says, "What sets me apart is my deep understanding of why we eat the way we do, especially when emotions come into play. I’m not here to push you into another restrictive diet."

Most of us don't realize we are living our lives out by a story we believe to be true. In fact it is a story that runs in our subconscious and controls most of our actions and reactions. We basically live our lives on autopilot and we aren't even aware of it. Only 5% of our decisions are made from the conscious part of our mind and 95% is controlled by the subconscious mind and the stories that we have about ourselves and the world around us.
Our past experiences and traumas create this story and belief system. What if we decided to not let this unknown story dictate our lives? Who would we actually be if we didn't see ourselves through this story?
Michaela and I discuss the things that often create our stories and keep us stuck in unhealthy patterns. As a Behavioural Analyst, she brings a lot of insite into human behaviour and why we do the things that we do. We often have emotional attachments to our unhealthy habits. We act in accordance with the story that we believe. In fact, we will only rise to the level that we believe we deserve. It's important to uncover our stories in order to live our most authentic, empowered lives and be free to create a new chosen story!

Episode76: The Transformative Power of Sexual Fantasies with Artemisia Explicit
Today my special guest is Artemisia de Vine.
Sexual Fantasy expert who teaches the world's leading sexperts the meaning of our sexual fantasies, and how to bring them out of our heads and into our beds! Author of upcoming book: The Spirituality of Smut: The surprising wisdom of sexual fantasies.
Certified somatic sexologist, BA in anthropology and former sex worker and professional dominatrix.
Offering a groundbreaking new theory! Understand how stories work and you understand why we have sexual fantasies - and how to create powerful, real-life transformative sexperiences that satisfy the real desire behind the story symbolism.
Today we talk about Sexual Fantasies and how it has been so stigmatized. Fantasies are not just for healing, they are also there to tell us how to let go and have deep pleasure. Our ego resists changes in states of conciousness which is why we often gets stuck in our head. We are often afraid of letting go and being vulnerable. Fantasy gives us the key to unlocking our consciousness and gives you deep permission to let go, feel, and surrender.
All good sex takes surrendering to some level. Peak experiences are often described as getting lost in the moment. We want this for you.
I want you to first of all, allow yourself to have desires and fantasies and then learn to accept them as perfectly ok. This is so important in my work. I don't want you to escape and fill a void, I want you to be fully authentic and alive with confidence.
