Learning how to Break Free from religious and social programming to truly live a life of authenticity and pleasure. We look at how shifting our mindset about Sex and Sexuality can radically change our relationships and allow them to be more fun, honest, safe, connected, ethical and authentic. We delve into Sex Positivity and what that is while also looking at things like Love Languages, Attachment Styles, and Boundaries to help us Break Free from relationship myths that are keeping us stuck in a world that isn't quite the right fit. We long for true authentic connections and the ability to completely be ourselves. Let's start living!

Why Non-Monogamy Gets a Bad Rap
Episode36: Why Non-Monogamy Gets a Bad Rap Explicit
Today my special guest is Chantel Porter.
Chantel Porter is a Women's Deconditioning Specialist and Mentor, She combines Human Design, Trauma-Informed Practices, Emotional Health & Energetics in working with women to restore them to their natural wild state by remembering who they are, reclaiming their power and rewilding the woman within. Think of it like restoring a piece of land back to its natural state, but for women!
Chantel is a 2x award-winning international best-selling author of two books. She uses Human Design as part of her magic to guide women back to who they indeed are because she wants all women to be lit up by their lives. Some of her favourite work is in smashing the narrative around women and money, healing family & childhood wounds, deprogramming cultural conditioning, and breaking the cycle of abuse and trauma.
Today, I ask Chantel about her experiences in the world of Ethical Non-Monogamy. She used to be in this world and shares with us some of the experiences that were not healthy so that we can learn why things go wrong and how to prevent it. She says that it is so important to tap into our desire in life in order to fully live authentically.
She also agrees that if we aren't prepared and don't do the work on ourselves, we won't attract the right kind of people that bring us joy in this world. It's much easier to encounter drama and negative experiences.

If You Don't Name It, You Shame It
Episode35: If You Don't Name It, You Shame It Explicit
Today my special guest is Whitney Tougas.
Whitney is an intimacy and pleasure coach, speaker, and facilitator, teaching women with vulvas (and other humans) how to experience life-changing, transcendent orgasms, heal through radical full expression and sexual integration, and live performance-free and fully seen.
She believes sexuality and relationships offer opportunities for deep healing, expansion, and self-actualization, and that most humans never scratch the surface of their birthright pleasure and innate sexual power… but that everyone can.
Whitney is the creator of the School of Sexual Sorcery and co-creator of Women Who Roar. In addition to her pleasure and intimacy work, she works with transgender women as a voice and expression coach.
We talk about the shame that often surrounds pleasure and sexuality. Children are often not given the names of their g******s growing up which can add to the shame we experience in adulthood. What you don't name, you shame!
In her School of Sexual Sorcery, she teaches the 5 Transcendent Orgasms:
1) Extended Clitoral Orgasms
2) G-spot, Squirting, Gushing Orgasms
3) Cervical Orgasms
4) Breath Energy Orgasms
5) Non-Genital Orgasms
Have you had any of these orgasms? Maybe it's time to learn.

It Doesn't Have to be Hard!
Episode33: It Doesn't Have to be Hard! Explicit
Today my special guest is Becky Felstead. She resides in Perth, Australia where she is the host of The Resource a podcast that discusses all things taboo around society and culture. In the workplace, society and in every facet of the subject of sexual harassment, sexual assault, abuse, discrimination, sexual health, purity culture and all things in between. Becky is a speaker and facilitator who engages in gracious conversations about hard topics. She is the director at Culture101 where they deal with issues like sexual harrasment and bullying in the workplace.
Today we are having a discussion on the default programming that we all have about relationships often leading to discontentment and frustration in our relationships and sex lives. It doesn't have to be hard all the time. We are taught that life is hard, work is hard, and so are relationships. When we shift our programming we can be authentic and have a sense of flow, joy, and alignment in our love lives and our sexuality. Break free with us and discover how to make things less hard.

Breaking Free from Monogamy
Episode32: Breaking Free from Monogamy Explicit
Welcome to Breaking Free Authentically Episode 32. I’ve been so busy working on the launch of my new 8 Week Program, Breaking Free from Monogamy and I really wanted to come on and tell you all about it because it’s going to be so transformative. I am so so so excited about this you guys.
Even without a voice I just had to share it with you all. I know that the way I was raised and taught about relationships has hugely affected me in my life. I thought I had a really great relationship and for the most part, it was from the outside. But honestly, I was not who I really am. I was codependent. My self worth was wrapped up in what I perceived about my spouse, and the way he saw me. The thing is, there was no real way to actually know what he was thinking. I judged my worth by our sex life and how desires I thought I was. I judged it by how much time he spent with me and how much he complimented me. I didn’t know what actual connection looked like because I was never taught that I would feel safe and calm in my body around my people. I didn’t know that I could have my own opinions and not be judged for that.
The notion that marriage and monogamy are the best answer to the deep human desire for connection and belonging is incredibly seductive.
I know you are probably wondering who I am to challenge this age old construct of marriage. How dare she? What does she know? Well, I’ll tell you. I am The Sex Positive Relationship Designer. I have worked with countless individuals and couples to help them Break Free from Societal and Religious programming to live authentic, empowered lives. I am more specifically an expert on Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM), as seen in PureWow, normalizing ENM so that people will be able to choose the kinds of relationships they really want for themselves and lose the shame surrounding sexuality and desire. I am a published expert in Authority Magazine on the topic of Marriage, Relationships, and ENM and have appeared as a guest on several podcasts and radio shows such as the Brian Crombie Radio Hour. You can listen to the show here.
Join me as we change the world and normalize a different way. Ethical Non-Monogamy is not for everyone, but it might be the perfect solution for you. Let’s allow each person to choose their own journey without judgment.
If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “Is Monogamy Right for Me?” I want to encourage you to go take my FREE Quiz to find it if Monogamy is in fact right for you or if you actually have what it takes to experience more in your relationships.
Love, Karine

Authenticity? Ya mon!
Episode31: Authenticity? Ya mon! Explicit
Today my special guest is Amber Stevenson. She is a Burlesque Dancer, a Drag Queen. performer, Swinger, Kinkster, Polyamorist, Health and Wellness Coach, and soon to be Real Estate Agent. She is a woman of many talents and has a heart of gold.
I met Amber at the airport while we were all waiting to board our flight to Jamaica last month. She came bouncing up and looked ready for Jamaica minus the tan. To be honest, she never left with one either after a whole week in the sun. Lol
This free spirit is the definition of authenticity in all that she does and I love her. We got to know each other on a deep level the first morning there and continued to get to know each other the rest of the week.
I'm thrilled to introduce my new friend to you all. We had the most delightful, energetic conversation about all things authenticity and vulnerable. We talked about so many things that I can't possibly write it all down here so you'll just have to listen to this week's episode.
